    US Gear Dual Range

    Thanks for all the replies. I am new to these units and am curious how they work. There is a high and a low button that you press on the shifter lever. I would assume with the overdrive unit that when it is pressed in to high you will have much lower RPM's at highway speeds and in turn should...

    Tom, Thanks for the response. I did however just find this on the internet and it looks like this tranny is a ZF5-42 with a casting # of 1307 rated at 420ft lbs of torque. I think this would bolt right up and work fine, but it also looks like I need to find a ZF5-47 with a casting # of 1317...

    I have been having a lot of trouble with keeping my truck up and running. I am able to get my truck started when I put fuel in the fuel filter, but it will not stay running very long and the filter goes almost empty.

    Truck not starting

    Thanks for the replies. I was also thinking it was because the tank was almost at E if not already bouncing off of Empty and I am probably sucking air instead of fuel.
