You already own something better, IMHO! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73973-chev-c60/page/3/#findComment-568682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The only thing I would change is the transmission ratios. I find the large leap from 3-4 and the short 4-5 not to make the best of the power the engine can produce. I much prefer even steps, and higher rear with direct top gear. The lack of gearsets for the rear, leave that pretty much a pipe dream to make any changes.

Joey Mack Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I wish i had 1% of your experience driving the KB. I drove mine around the block a few times, and the torque was very strong. Then ,,, i took it apart. I need to get that damned ENDT 673 done and gone, then i can start on my KB... Now I sound like Bob... 🍻 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73973-chev-c60/page/3/#findComment-568686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I liken my K-7 to driving my 9670 with about 118K on it. It is foot to the floor, and when you hit a hill it pulls down (from 3000rpm) to around 2000 and just hangs in there. No point downshifting until it pulls below ~2000. It means, while it will do 55-60 MPH on the flat, when your pulling hard you drop down to around 40. Driven in the heat, with the windshield and side windows wide open and driven in the cold (-10) for 400 miles. Not as comfortable as more modern trucks but keep going. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73973-chev-c60/page/3/#findComment-568693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
