Subject: Re: Trucks with 5x4 transmissions



Argyle, MN
We have 2 trucks with them. Lots of different drivers would have to drive them. We kept it very simple for the aux. trans. (loaded trucks) 1st only in the field. Get off the field and stop shift to 2 if less than a 2 mile haul on gravel. Shift to 3rd if you are on tar. 4th only when empty heading back to field on longer than a 2 mile haul. Chevy truck with 366, Ford had a 534. Used for potato harvest. Keep it simple, keep the tranny is our philosophy for these trucks. Never had an engine or transmission problem with over 100,000 miles on each truck.
