Thats amazing. When I pulled MDrives out, i could pick them up and put them on a pallet for core returns.. how could a trans that light be strong enough to handle huge torque and truck trains as described? Must be a great engineering accomplishment... I havent a clue, just sayin..

How big would the transmission be, and the axles? I bet you would lose 3000 lb's of freight weight to be legal here in the U.S. just tossin my silly thoughts out there...

There is no trans pressure switch.. gear box pressure is vented, not monitored...

That was such an innocent show to watch.. The rebels that they were is childs play compared to what teens are doing today...

My age...

Mind blowing for sure Mark...

the switch on top with the 2 wires is for reverse. its a detent switch.

that was what I thought too fjh...

just for kicks, put your meter on it and see if its normally open or normally closed.

Yes sir.. I understood your points. Food for my thoughts. Well, I wish him success. I think i will , back out now and just watch...

Honestly GW.. i have very little knowledge on upping horsepower in an E-6 or E-7. I do believe ( much to my shagrin) ... Electronics plays a big part in making the HP and protecting the engine as well. The 460 XT i mentioned is an E-Tech.. the next engine after the E-7. It is still 728 c.i.d./12 liters. The more I read this thread, the more I am leaning towards a 500 HP runner.. I guess i get sidetracked when I see guys wanting to put more power in an engine that is already very reliable, so my kneejerk reaction is to say NO!.

That's about 3 bucks a can. Thats a good deal around my area

Yes E-7 is 12 liters. I dont know how i thought it was an E-6. The title clearly says E-7

I guess if you drive it with respect it may live. Even though i was sceptical, Mack did make the 460 XT which was rated at 485 HP. And somewhere around 2000 lbft of torque. The drive line needed to be beefed up for that. But if you are the only driver, it may live.
