TOAK the Thread Of All Knowledge IX

Didn't stay on it for long after I heard it, but I don't really think so. If I'm not mistaken, (correct me if I'm wrong Mark!) the DD6 is 1:1 in 6th so it doesn't have a whole lot of pick up especially going up a grade like I was. RPMs were probably at about 2700

I'm with Lou here so many times it's the simple stuff. Your dealing with a new rig now brother let it shake a little, if it's going to fail it will let you know pretty quick.

Yeah, maybe I'm just being a little paranoid. Like I said I night just go pick it up tomorrow if I can get a few things done around the farm first.

Morale of the story Tracy is there is not going to be roll on power in 6th. Kick it back to 5th until your back up to speed. I think you know this but does it feel like you had roll on power before the motor work?

You are right that it'S 1:1 as far as the transmission is concerned. We overdrive the primary to get the rpm drop with the DD6. Which means that when you are in 6th it's like having a 14% overdrive.

I do understand what you're saying. The circumstances were that I had been cruising at about 80mph, had to slow down just a little to about 75 before passing a car going uphill although it's not what I'd call a steep grade. But then hell I live in a part of KY were it damn near all hills and what I call a shallow grade might be someone else's steep one.
I did downshift after I heard it and the noise disappeared.

I'm always happy to hear your "tech jargin" buddy. I learn a little more each time and that's a good thing.
Have a great night!
