Re: 5 speed trans choices
I have a NV3500 in my truck and we just came back from a trip to Rifle,Co. and Montana - Wyo and back thru Missori and Ky a total of 57035 miles. I towed my toyhauler weighing over 6000lbs with the full dress Harley in it and with 4:10 Dana rear used 5th gear 85% to 90% of the trip. I have a 400 sm blk with extreme energy cam - headers and a performer int. The trans work flawlessly and RPM was 2000 at 64 mph whith put the engine in the peak torque zone. You can say they are light duty and for racing they probably are but as a driver I'm very pleased. We've put 9200 miles on the truck and I can get 17 mpg without the trailer at 65 mph.
