HK Trucking Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi i have a R609 RST with a TRQ7220 QUADBOX can anyone tell me what the turque rating is for this transmissiom and what HP motor can it take Not sure what the actual torque rating is on a TRQ7220, but in the past I have transplanted an ENDT675 (237hp) Maxidyne, and also an ENDT 676 (285hp) Maxidyne into trucks with the TRQ7220, and the transmissions held up okay.I know there are others who may differ with my opinion on this, but that has been my experience.It's just like anything else, if it's driven properly and shifted smoothly, it will last a long time even with a high torque engine bolted up to it.If it's driven rough and shifted improperly, it will break even with an END673 170 hp engine bolted up to it.Personally, I'd keep the quadbox.

Freightrain Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 There is a fellow in Ohio that bought a LTL that had a big Cummins and a quad box in it. Ya, talk about overpowered, but like HK says, it's all in the driver. Keep the power level smooth and it will survive. Hotrod it once and ya it'll come apart real quick.

When you get a chance can you message me with it thanks R609Im sure the torque rating of a TRQ7220 is 720lbs/ft. People have put them behind ENDT675's with a torque rate of 900+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
