Quote: I had a BIG old 2 speed diff in my old Dodge dump truck and it needed it... I put a 360 in the truck(had a /6).. what a gutless wonder
Yup this is our only truck left with a 2 speed rear, it's a 1990 truck antique/backup truck now. This is at least the second and probably the 3rd time I had it out getting rebuilt. This truck has a DT 466 diesel and a 5 speed trans. Learned to drive big trucks in this configuration back in 1978 at my third job. Then you had chueffer SP? license. I was grand fathered into a CDL, only took the paper test and still do every 4 years to maintain my hazmat endorsement.
I was driving a wrecker back in 69 .. that was my first with the 2 speed diff.. it was a diesel and a 5 speed.. I had to have the chauffeur license also
