j hancock Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Pretty sure that B83 was bought from the Eilers Bros. in VT about 20 years ago. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Job41 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What transmission would be behind that Cummins? I tried to use the BMT Wiki, but the pdf data sheets will not show up for me using this new site.

j hancock Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Probably had a Mack TRQ quad box. I had B833 with a Cummins 335 and it was followed by a quad box.

Job41 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 How well did the TRQ stand up to the torque of a 335 Cummins? I would imagine that you would have to rebuild them more frequently.

The engine went to China to be made into a toaster and the quad went into another truck. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
