I have the TRXL-1071 in my "Project R-12" truck and can upshift in LL through third, then grab the high range and go back to 1st. The gear split seems fairly close but not as linear as one would like. I've never hauled anything with the truck so cannot vouch for compatibility to use loaded. Rob

Grandaughter decided to familiarize herself with one of my trucks before stealing it. Didn't think I was watching neither but I was....... And then along came "mommy" and the fun stopped. Rob

You can still use heat as you are replacing that seal no matter what it is. You need to soften the suspected corrosion between the shaft and the housing. Heat will expand the housing, cold will shrink the shaft without shriveling it........ Rob

Or the line at the public aid office; "Where da fuck do my check be"? Rob

I did not write this but support it. Rob I WANT TO GET RE-ELECTED *SOME OF YOU MAY APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT.* *I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR SENDING THIS BECAUSE OF IT'S TRUTH.* *If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?* *If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? * *If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on? * *If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? * *If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? * *If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him? * *If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter menbehind the scenes? * *If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? * *If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? * *If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? * *If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? * *If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. * *If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? * *If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?* *If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? * *If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? * *If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved. * *If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? * *So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? * *Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 36 months – so you don’t have that much time to come up with an answer.* *Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable. * AND NOW-- HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM. WAKE UP AMERICA, 2012 IS UPON US. I AM BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS GUY FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS . . . *"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."*

Very cramped from my dissapating yet evenly dispersed memory cells. Rob

It is another accepted slang, or distortion of the american english language. It is not dirty as I wouldn't think of leading you down that path. Rob

Hope the school board doesn't read this board or we'll lose his young ass from participation. Wonder how he's done in ebonics class? I understand they teach that shit in school now. Rob

I B toyin wit dat opchun two... This 2090 trans is already set up for the electronic speedo including the pickup and reluctor wheel; plus I have an electronic variant already that is factory Mack but I want to use it in my "Project R-12" truck. If this isn't settled acceptably I may go the electronic route. Rob

Hi Morgan, this ratio box works well without any flutter to the indication on the indicator. There are five separate pencil gears available for this transmission. Everything is present including the drive gear, the driven gear, (pencil gear), the length adapter, the ratio matching box, and cable with jacket. It just read much too slow for the road speed you were traveling. When running 65, the speedometer indicated about 51-53mph. I'm thinking this T2100 transmission probably came from a donor truck with a high 3.XX ratio rear axle before being installed into this R model. Rob

I ran one of those a couple of times and I'm thinking it is the same tractor. Two cylinder diesel? Rob

You best be careful talking about scrapers and showing pictures of dirty dozers in the same sentence. Gonna make randyp pop a hard on an look to come visit you. Rob

Under the front bumper are Cummins Iron Crosses. Rob

That B71 truck has an NH220 Cummins and that engine is physically smaller than a 3406. I have photos of the underhood I'll find. Thought I had better than these. Rob

Eternal Skip, (just like I did). Rob

Don't know about smarter but I don't think it will fit and allow you to retain stock configuation and look. That engine is quite a bit longer than a Mack engine. If you set the cab further back and use a B70 series front I'm certain you could get by but in the stock configuation, I just don't see it fitting in there. The stock radiator will have trouble keeping it cool at working temperature also. Rob

It is a real surprise if someone shits a "sinker" when you dig your spoon in. Rob

All my "Speedo's" fit as they should, (according to me). Other peoples don't tend to agree. I have to wear a "cup" to prevent chaffing however. Rob

I'm installing a T2090 trans into a 1988 R690 truck with 4.17 Mack rears. This is a mechanical speedometer equipt truck. The former and deceased owner had the original five speed Mack trans replaced with a T2100 series transmission, (used). Utilizing the original to the replacement transmission speedometer gearing, the indicated speed was very low compared to actual road speed. I'm looking for the correct pencil gear to drive the speedometer at the correct indication of road speed. Again the new drivetrain combination is a Mack T2090 transmission with Mack 4.17 rear gearing on 11RX22.5 tires. Can anybody break this down and guide me on the correct speedometer drive gear? Thanks, Rob

But I'm such a profane person by nature.Rob

Like me. If it weren't for lead paint chips when I was a kid, I woulda starved to death. Rob

Always too loose of fit due to absence of "the boys". Rob

Five psi will move fuel through it acceptably well for the interrmitent horsepower requirements of a test. An electric fuel pump for a carburated engine will work. You will need to adapt to the fittings. Just leave the mechanical pump in place on the engine or you will have one hell of an oil slick. Rob

Hey Guys and Gals: After thinking and consulting with our webmaster we have decided to disallow posting "For Sale" items in the gallery. We have both a forum for parts, and complete trucks, and this is where these type items are to be placed. The gallery is to Hi Lite, or showcase the fruits of your labors with old trucks, or adventures only. Thanks, Rob
