Did you get the DT? What Allison tranny comes with it. If it is a AT545, it may be a bit wimpy for your rig. If the spicer is a #2 bellhousing, I'd keep that behind the DT466.

PITA = PAIN IN THE ARSS!
Heath, no wimpy 545 here! MT643
I have a good buddy that was an Alli tech in his past life, so he has all the manuals and knowledge. My bud tells me that I should have no problem doing an over haul on the 545 or the 643 since I have rebuilt the Chrysler auto in my 02 so many times.I am going to get the 466/643 tomorrow
Does that spicer have OD?

Under drive!
No joke, 1.17:1 5th ratio. I have never found any factory option of under drive on 5th so I figure a rebuilder must have done it some how. Should make for a tough to sell trans.
Glad to hear it's not a AT545. The MT643 will certainly be a good option for your rig.
Be sure and take some photos of the new DT for us to drool over.

DT is in and I have most all the goodies to make it all come to life. I have been taking lots of pictures and will post em at a later time.
I almost never do this but I have to inform other users about a local business. I have been working with Arts Auto Parts in Houston, TX. Art jr. has gone above and beyond for me with advice and killer deals on parts. Art has a huge stock of used parts for all makes and models of medium duty and some light duty trucks. If you are in the Houston area and need anything medium duty related you have got to pay a visit to Art.

Yeah, Art's Rocks. Just a tad on the high side but Ace Number One in Quality & Service.
So did you get that DT466 from the guys up near the Airport?

I did, and was very nervous about it at first but she works like a champ.
My dad met me up there with his service truck and we fired her on the ground. We checked for oil pressure, smoke and did the smell test on the ATF. All tests passed so I asked how much, he replied with $1800, I told him $1500, he said ok and we loaded up and were gone.
I was having a bit of trouble with the motor when I got it home and after lots of testing I decided I had to pull the head.
When I pulled the intake I found a rag stuffed into the 4&5 intake ports Removed debris, put the head back together, and she ran like a champ.

Thanks, she was stock till today. I will most likely turn it back down as she already had plenty of power.
Awesome to hear you've got it done and in!!! Can't wait for photos and maybe a video. I'd really like to hear that DT running. I'm so green with envy. I wish my DT project was anywhere close to being done.
