wouldn't that cause the problem in every gear?

Having a problem occasionally shifting into 3rd gear on a t2180. When you put it into gear, sometimes it doesn't engage and makes a grinding jumping sound. I find that if I go back to neutral then shift back, more often then not it engages. once in a great while, it will do it under heavy load once it is already well engaged. It can do it in both high and low split. Does anyone know what can cause this? The transmission has very low miles on it since rebuild.

If you haven't found what you need yet, call Florida Powertrain, tell them what you have and what you want to run, and they will set you up. It will be at your door within days.

Melnick metal works in Ct can make them. You need the later domed fender for a 34. I am not sure if they or anyone else has a buck(pattern) for one of those or if it would need to be built.

There is no kit. You need to swap the expansion valve, receiver drier, and compressor. You will need to get or make a bracket for a sanden compressor.

Does anybody have the part number for the dynatard ground switch on the back of the ambac pumps on e-6's and e-9's? Setting up an e-9 and i would really like to do it this way so it shuts off at idle. Picture for reference .

A quick tell tale difference between an FW and an FT is the FW has an eight spoke rear hub and and FT has a six spoke.

I may be wrong, but this appears to be an FT.

switching the engine and trans in my superliner from a cummins with a 15 sp fuller to an E9 with a mack 18 sp.

Does the air range shifting on the T2180 18 speed transmission work on full 120 p.s.i pressure or is there a regulator on them?

While I can't say I have weighed one, The block is aluminum.

at least missing an exhaust manifold.

It doesn't look like it has heavy rears. Six bolt cones are 44k so if it is in fact an sx the rears have been changed. Also that truck weighs 16-18k all day long.

I don't think he is the seller. Just passing along an eBay listing he found....

Every Rw753, rw653 (cat powered) that I have seen, the engine is backed with an Eaton fuller transmission.
