HarryS Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks for the ride along. Nice and smooth. I had to go back and check the air ride. NICE! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66400-a-ride-in-my-b/#findComment-471713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Looks like the 15-speed "Direct in 5th" Triplex. Love your truck, man.

mowerman Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 That was excellent Larry thanks for sharing I didn’t know it had an air start and I don’t know how I missed this one I would’ve guessed 20 speed with the low low...bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66400-a-ride-in-my-b/#findComment-472391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehummell Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Larry after reading about your truck I slid in a rear out of a freightliner air ride I wish my truck was a little longer wheel base I think it would help. Is your tranny a 15 or 13 I ended up with a double over triplex and a 3.90 rear I could of lived with the 4.64 rear I had.

Mike Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Man Larry, that was a nice ride. Almost got cool from the spring air but managed ok. Next time at night with Waylon or Willie. LOL Thanks for the ride along. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66400-a-ride-in-my-b/#findComment-472423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Great video !! Thanks for sharing. I would probably run over the camera trying to get that perfect shot that you did. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66400-a-ride-in-my-b/#findComment-472427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Dave, it's a 15 spd(single over). Many years ago I was looking for a double over to get more road speed out of my 4.62's. Never happened, so I cut the gearing when I added the air ride. The rear actually came with 3.70's but figured I'd never use OD with the old 673 so I swapped it to 4.10's. Now I wish I had kept the 3.70's. The 237 would likely do real nice with that ratio? Right now it is 65 mph at 1800 rpm in OD. I think I could knock a few RPM out of it without hurting anything. Mike, sorry no radio or tape deck. Keith, I made sure it was plenty low enough...LOL! Edited April 12, 2021 by Freightrain 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

davehummell Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Larry did you get the wrench out and back of the nut on the pump? I am thinking of letting a little more fuel in I have a pyrometer in the dash to watch.

Freightrain Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yes, moved the nut. It would only get maybe 900* on a hard pull. Now it goes about 1100*. Fuel economy has not changed.

Well I hope the boss doesn't see the broken seal on the pump, you'll have to fire yourself for tampering with the pump. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
