.80:1 OR .73:1 ARE FINE WHEN YOU GOT 3.55'S - 5.29'S. . .

KT-635hp manual tran's final OD .58:1 .62:1. . .7spd 9spd 10spd 13spd 15spd 18spd 21spd.
I'll shift as many times as it takes.
truck's a show and shiner RED CAMO! coming soon.
I was told the 5 spd would be ok, i would have to split every gear thats 15 gear's up 15 gear's down. . .with the 7 spd i could use the 3spd as i needed it but go easy on the throttle I'm not going need low split every. . .direct split and high split is all need 2 stick 14spd.
I know you can lug a mack all day long lug a cummins you'll blow a head gasket fill your crank case with coolant in a flash. . .
I was told the 7spd Mack would with stand anything the KT could throw at it. . .I need a .58:1 -.62:1 OD to make it worth doing. . . OD's reduce power it ain't a torque multipler it's a divider. . . I was the OD in 7spd should dog the torque enough for the 3spd auxy. . .
I got a hell of a deal on the KT so i jumped on it I just hope now i can use it. . .
