Anyone Running a Tremec TKO-500/600 5 Speed Overdrive

[padresag]

what axles are you using.
I was orig running 36x15x15 on my 64 4 x 4 panel and pulling a trailer(across the scales=16,000#) and those 1/2t axle brgs didn't appreciate it. I did change over to 3/4t axles(no more problems).
took my detroit w/5 spd o/d out and put in a 283-t5 in . put in an independent np205 years ago and 32x12.5x15 tires but I think that I will be going to narrower tires in future(no more cracked frame)
20 years of driving it brings me to these conclusions

Thanks for your input. The tires will be BF Goodrich KM2 35/12.50x17 or 37/12.50x17 on the 17X9 wheels below.



The axles are a 1 1/4 Ton Dana 60 and a 1 Ton 14 Bolt, both with Disc Brakes.
