"Brownie Box" Aux Trans Questions
I think one would work for me behind an auto cause I wouldn't be shifting "on the fly". I would most likely leave it in OD for cruising around and shift it into Direct (from a stop) when I pull my trailers.- TBigLug

"Brownie Box" Aux Trans Questions
Just learned something new, got an email from Kathy Stehn and US Gears hasn't made the aux trans in years. Lol, looks like these new heavy duty Allison OD's are removing the niche for auxiliary overdrives.- TBigLug

We have a 2013 M2-106 with the 6.7 in it at work and we have no complaints so far. Runs good, great mileage. To date we have approx 45,000 miles on it with no trips to the mechanic for anything other than PM's. No experience with the Hino.- TBigLug

47RH In MDT vs AT545
I've learned a lot in the last 3 hours. GV and US Gears are the two main competing companies for the current auxiliary trans market. GV doesn't recommend their unit for my particular application. They say it's too heavy. I shot off an email to US Gear to see what they say. I looked into the...- TBigLug

47RH In MDT vs AT545
The trucks has a 366 GAS motor in it not the 466 DIESEL. Lol, I would keep a 466. No manual trans for this one. Wife has had two shoulder surgeries and can't handle the shifting. I would like to learn more about this Browning... Do you have any more info you could share? I'm firing up Google now!- TBigLug

47RH In MDT vs AT545
Basically looking at either tranny in a stock (read as one without a lot of $ sunk in it) configuration. Will the 47RH work in a 1992 Topkick behind a 5.9? Might be picking up a low-pro TK that has a 366 and a 545 in it, currently has a 24' box on it. Truck will end up being either a crew cab...- TBigLug
