  1. Well, I thought that one couldn't just replace just the gear cog, but that there would be more to it. So If you had the two transmissions side by side, I'd think you could replace all the parts. But I suppose that there'd be an issue with the 1-2 synchronizer, a big jump. And I'd considered moving to medium duty transmissions, but the cost and complexity of manufacturing the adapters, crossmembers and divorced transfer case. After looking through your links and looking at the transmissions available for the medium trucks, I decided that I could get all the luxury I wanted with these: https://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/transmission-drivetrain/1906-junkyard-manual-transmission-spotters-guide/ NV5600 A heavy-duty six-speed transmission with a granny First found in Dodge trucks with the 24-valve 5.9L Cummins turbodiesel. Found In: 1998-2005 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Identification: Huge with three main parts: the aluminum clutch housing, the main case made of cast iron, and a third extension housing also made of cast iron. 5.63:1 First, 3.38:1 Second, 2.04:1 Third, 1.39:1 Fourth, 1:1 Fifth, 0.73:1 Sixth, 5.36: 1 Reverse. ZF6 Ford's six-speed truck transmission. Found In: 1998 Ford Super Duty trucks. Identification: All aluminum housing with an integral bellhousing. One unique feature is this big transmission uses an external transmission cooler so it should be just about the only manual you'll ever see with transmission fluid lines going in and out of the case. 5.79:1 First, 3.31:1 Second, 2.10:1 Third, 1.31:1 Fourth, 1:1 Fifth, 0.72:1 Sixth 5.23:1 Reverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_S6-650_transmission Or just live with the T-19 as is. I am going to put on the straight up cam gear so that should improve the engines performance and do away with some of the limitations. Upon further reflection, the problem with that gear ratio only manifested itself with the stock tires, which I didn't use very long. And the bias ply tires until they started making taller radials. I should stop this incessant quest for more gears and be satisfied with what I have. But the read with the fellow with the Jeep was an afternoons captive entertainment. Then I spent much of the evening into the night looking things up. And this morning with the links you sent in the email. Thank you very much. SEE ALL 11
  2. Can the 2nd and 3rd and possibly the 4th gear ratios be changed for a T-19 transmission? My current 7.5L, T-19 transmission is geared 5.11, 3.03, 1.79, 1.00, bought new in the 1986 F250HD 4wd and spec'd it with 4.10 gear. I really don't like the 3-speed spread in the road section gearing but love the 5.11 first for creeping around in the woods. I wouldn't mind even having a slight overdrive in place of the 1.00, but probably no chance of that. I will just have to up my tire diameter from 35" to 36".
