the guy in that build you linked used an Allison MD3060R close-ratio six-speed automatic

Thanks! I miss it a bunch. I like Dynamic's products but they've definitely been improved upon, especially by others. I've probably loaded more cars with Vulcan 810's (original Intruder unit) than all other units I've run combined, and it's by far my favorite. Strong, versatile, and pretty quiet. They recently did a redesign on it and came up with the 812 and they practically copied the JerrDan MPL crossbar and I kinda hate it. Been running one of those just over a year now and still can't say I've gotten used to it. Oh well! And it's on a Ford, because GM hasn't cared about making regular sized medium duty trucks since 2003...

I surely hope you didn't tow that long like that.

excellent info. i'm assuming you've looked into yourself as well?

Low miles. Maybe talk him down cause of the blown tranny

 

[Chewy1576]

I have, to put behind a Cummins. Cost is keeping me from doing anything about it though.

i'm waiting on pics of the frame for the 750 dollar truck I saw a few days ago on facebook. guy said he will take some tomorrow or the day after. 750 is way more my taste since I really only care for a rolling chassis right now. if I go with something up in price, it has to have some really good parts that will sell or else they will just end up sitting next to all my old smallblocks... those are damn good boat anchors right now...

OK, I'll bite. Why?

I'll hazard a guess that new guy is worried I'm towing an AWD SS down the road with the front wheels on the ground. No worries; it's an '06 model (Intimidators weren't made prior) and all '06 models are RWD; AWD was not an option. In '05 you could get an SS either way, though AWD seemed to be more common. All '03 and '04 were AWD.

If there's some other reason for concern, I gladly invite discussion on it. Tow operator here with 14 years experience.
