Guys....


Just bought a house..... so the truck hasn't been getting worked on at all....... BUT

I did get a bigger shop....

Say hello to my 4 stall attached garage and my 1.5 stall detached garage.... plenty o room now....


I get to park my daily drivers inside the front 2 stall... my shop in the back 2 stall, and have all my snowblowers, cab, doors, lawn mower etc in the back 1.5 stall....


Heres the new shop...

:jump: Glad you made it back!!! I was beginning to wonder if the cold did you in! I finally scored a trans for my truck.. Now I gotta find all of the pieces to mate the little Cummins to a Fuller RTO12513...:argh: Damn trans is half the size of the engine!!! :scare2:

Congrats on the new place. :c: I wish I had that much space at the house... What saves me is the nice 50x100 shop at the school :D

Yup.. Once I'm rollin' who needs a clutch pedal???:choochoo:
R= Roadranger
T=twin countershafts
O= overdrive
12= 1200 ftlbs rated
5= gearset series
13= total forward speeds... 2 in Rev!!!

Trans weighs about 750 lbs! 'course the clutch, flywheel, and housings are gonna run around $2500!
