leversole Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 im gonna post a video of when we start my u model up in the spring. there will be a ton of fog. i cant wait!!!by the way leversole are you even touching the clutch? Only to get it rolling or pulling up to the stop sign! I think it is more difficult to double clutch it...If you match the road speed to engine speed for the gear you want, it goes right in! Sometimes when I luck out and the stars are aligned it sucks the stick outta my hand to go into gear!

Flynpenguin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Which set of boxes do you have? The Quad in my 66 R is a 5th over. 1 thru 4 are split under-direct-over, but 5th is 5th over only. 5th direct is the same speed as 4th over.

Freightrain Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Just my trailer will kill my truck. It's only as tall as the truck and only 15K lbs, but sure does knock the wind outta sails! 180HP only goes so far! Any kinda of short steep grade leaves you flail'n your hands around trying to find a gear to keep your speed.Now that I got 4 more gears, I'd like to see how far I can run it on level ground(if I can find enough level ground LOL). Gearing should get me 85 mph, but not thinking it will get there with a trailer too. Of course NOT getting a ticket running 85 mph would be a good thing too.Extra handle added........
