Yes a lot depends on we're your respective country is in the workd and the lack of friendly waters to sail through The "tyranny of distance" still applies to Australia and NewZealand It really effects our countries when things like this happen That been said, I wouldn't live anywhere else but Australia Paul

Hi Vladisslav, yes, I used grade 8 bolts and 1/4" steel everything is welded very tight. I don't think it is going to be a problem.

A friend in Indiana has a B with a 300+ and a 14613. Ron Bogan. Really beautiful Blue with a bunk on it. Met him years ago, and I think he used to be on here. He says the tip turbine really screams. I'm thinking it will sound like one of those twin turbo Cats with that insane whistle. The 237 has a light whistle. The father of the local fellow that has been helping me has a B dump with 300+ and a 8ll? He has it turned up but hasn't used it for years since he closed down his trucking business. Truck is pretty rough and just sits in a shed on his farm.

Looks cool! Did you fit the mast to the chassis with those 4 bolts only? The bracket seems needing more structural strength, maybe a brace attached to the RH frame rail.

Brought the truck home. Rear ends 4.14, 11x22.5. Truck has sat for a while and seemed to be pretty doggy but after some miles got better and faster. Hired man took it home to clean out the grain dirt and got it up to 68-70ish. BUT that was with the loud peddle flat on the mat. Both the tach and speedo will need attention, useless in current condition.

A few points. A global oil glut for over a year has largely prevented us from feeling the closure of the strait. But now that cushion is evaporating. Oil is different around the world. The oil needed depends on what you plan to do with it. e.g. produce plastics, motor oil, gasoline, ect. The explosion/fire at the diesel processing facility within the Valero plant (Port Arthur) has a bit to do with our rising diesel prices. But be aware there is a global shortage of diesel.

Looks awesome!!

Looks Great!!!

Hello forum members, I have been doing some exhaust work on the B-20P. I thought I would share some pictures of the work. I know the B-20's had a muffler on the bottom but that did not do it for me. So, I made a mast and put on a 4" exhaust pipe, it was a tight fit but I made it work. The box goes up and down nicely with no interference. All clamped up and it sounds great! Best Regards.....Frank

I spent many hours driving a 318 with a 13 speed I will have to admit I liked it better than the Mack 5 speeds I drove in the r's and fs I did like the 4x4 in my Autocar and those 10 speeds in my White and International were nice

How much do they cost any where can I get them

Might have been the guy that installed the pissers

That's been my experience with them too. That's on a fairly up hill chug too. They do go a little further down in reverse and low though which is nice for dump stuff. Trailer or truck.

You are absolutely correct. And tjc transport is absolutely correct, you will love the 13 speed. I drove several trucks with 18 speeds, and they are fantastic transmissions, I loved them. But very seldom did I ever split the gears in the low side. A couple of times splitting the last 2 came in handy, but 99% of the time I drove it like a 13 speed.

Darn...I was liking the green.

It is in between 4th and 5th. not exactly in the middle of those two.

Not old enough to ever been around worm drives and 140, Hypoid or Amboid with 80w-90 for me.

We used to call it "cheater gear". I heard that it was the same ratio as 5th. gear on the low side, or nearly the same, so there was no real advantage to using it. Of course I had to try it a few times just to see. 🤣

Remember back when all this was simple?..you put 90 wt. in the transmission, 140wt. in the rear ends.

It is a mod for American Truck Simulator, I'm also fan of the Mack R and superliner but nothing like a DM. I'm working on getting all details but I've got to get more pictures and information.

I still think you should search your area first

Yes it’s complete

Does that include the motor, heater core, cover and everything?

I get a pretty good discount with fedex … I retired with them
