Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted July 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2020 Though I've been around many years, I still learn something new with each new day. Each new day is a new class-in-session. As for opinions, when you step out of the box and look in, everyone's thoughts here are not that far apart. And there's some extremely sharp people here with vast amounts of knowledge........true "fountains of knowledge". (Not to mention Emmy-nominated YouTube star Paul from Australia) BMT members are high caliber people, and it's a privilege to know everyone here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck Shop Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Funny thread, reminds me of the oil & filter threads on a Gold Wing forum. Discussing weights of oil can be very interesting-like watching paint dry or grass grow. Now going to a demo derby can be entertaining. Look at the people setting around you-don't bother watching the derby. 1 Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran 80-90 in my T318LR & it had 50 in it before, it made a lot quieter & it shifted no different but it doesn’t get very cold here but hot it does.

41chevy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 HYTRANS SAE rating is 10W30 . I'd use it in the trans as an additive cutting the factory SAE rated gear oil, maybe 20%HyTrans. 1 hour ago, Red Horse said: And from both of my "Operation and Maintenance Manual(s)" No Print date- I think they are both "bootlegged copies Mack Trans Lube 5 (1).pdf 1.22 MB · 2 downloads MIL-L-2015 mil spec was superseded by MIL-L-2015A in the early 1960's the lube specs as of 2015 is MIL-L-2015E.

Truck Shop Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Is this an option? It says long lasting but it's going to take a bunch of those little cans. 1 1 Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I rode Harleys for years and a lot of times the transmission clunk into gear I kind of liked the idea of transmission fluid seem to make sense to me I’ve never tried it and I never heard of it But it is really gooy it would probably do a good job And yes I did notice this was turning into a pissing contest personally I try not to piss anybody off and I generally don’t discuss politics anymore on here but most of the time in person I have no filter just ask the old lady ha ha Ha.... bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRedMack Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If it won't kill you financially if something goes wrong, then my vote is to give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
