A518 trouble

Postby davedv85 » Thu Apr 24, 2014 10:11 am

My trans lost all forward gears but I still have reverse. I found a 727 for a Cummins. Besides losing overdrive what other problems may I have switching it over

No I mean Manual first gear. Drive doesn't apply the rear band in first but Manual first applys the rear band. Hopefully Cmann will see this because he just swapped a 518 inplace of his 727. Is yours 2wd?

Also with a 727 your top speed will be about 55mph. My 92 cab and chassis lost od and I was against the gov. at 60mph. which wasn't fun going down the interstate.
