And i need a new dually box .
-
The beauty of this inept design is it fails when you need it the most
-
I have firmly made up my mind- my next truck will be a mid-size international/ Freightliner with no computers. They can be had for nothing and will go forever
-
The only thing almost good about the doogde truck is the cumins engine . Who could imagine a real trk with vacuum crap and wipers that cant be stood up whilst is parked? Dodge could, what a joke.
-
The permanent fix is to jack up the radiator cap and slide pre-computer Freightliner / international under it with Marmon Harrington running gear.! Ok, all that said for these troll of trucks I use mine for snow plowing - 270K latter and mostly overhauled everything at least once. Every problem known to man but the vacuum crap has not ever let me dwn. I had the hose come off the valve assembly once

Make sure you actually have vacuum at the ends of the hose, Next when engaging 4WD you should see the servos move .

Great Idea ! How much trouble for mounting, steering stuff and ETC ? Transparently you also got the right gear ratio. -
The mid-range trks (freightliner / internationoal etc ) that the G56 came in uses gear oil if I read it all correct. The ATF may not be best for it. Others can jump and correct me where necessary.

I have a South Bend with over a 100k and even snow plow with it. (which is very hard on the whole drivetrain) The clutch still acts just fine but I do worry about it a little..I think it is called a conifer or something like that. It is a single disk .

I dont trust regular commercial service (LTL) as they have become too stupid to deal with If interested I will give you my real live number and we can talk. thanx
