    For anyone wondering why the headlights are doing that it's because the control unit uses a pulse width modulator to control the headlights and that means that the lights are technically flickering at an extremely fast rate and that coincides with the frame rate of the camera in a way that makes it look like it's flickering like that

    Also a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. Great video as usual. Just a piece of advice. Eaton Fuller makes an FSO-6406 the (O) being OD with a final 6th gear ratio of .75 :1
    The trans model number breaks down lke this:
    Fuller Synchronized - 640 ft lbs - 6 speed.
    Hope this helps. I have a 99 F800 with a 5.9 Im swapping the FS6406 to an FSO6406 to gain the OD. Got it on Ebay. Check often there are still plenty out there. You can also convert an FS to an FSO with some doing. Its not a really hard tranny to rebuild.

    I have the overdrive version of this transmission in my f 450 behind my 12 valve cummins. I have the fso-6406a in my truck and have been running it for 6 or so years with not one issue. I had some challenges putting it in my old 97 ram 3500 and getting it to fit but I have not had to take it out or rebuild it since. About 2 years ago I built my f450 and installed the 12 valve and the Eaton in that and it has made two trips back and forth from new York to san diego no issues. You can also find a sae2 adapter plate with the starter on the passenger side that is what I'm running. Awesome to see another guy do this swap!

      I attempted to do a conversion to my Ford F800 hauler and I never found the exact 6 speed fuller I was looking for. I wanted an overdrive model. I ended up putting a Fuller RTO9513 behind my 8.3 Cummins. That's a 13 speed with 1 overdrive. These are the simplest transmissions to work on. Complete teardown/overhaul manuals for each model makes it easy. I overhauled mine by myself. My 8.3 was a p-pump model with about 50 hp added. I had about 260 hp total. Before turning the fuel a little it was a dog. The internal mass of gears you are spinning all the time eats up power quick with 9, 10, and 13 speeds, even with the 8.3 for power. Complete transmission setup weighed 1200 lbs. You don't want to drive a dual range transmission everyday. A 6 speed like this can be fit to a regular style transfer case if a person has a machinist friend to help. Pro Gear in Florida helped me with part numbers because I could not find anyone that had ever done the 13 speed conversion. I used a SAE 2 bellhousing and a 14" x 1 3/4" two disk pull type clutch with no issues at all. Clutch part number CCA-9724. I used flywheel 3908574-04 with ring gear 3908546. I can't find the starter number but it was stock for the 1997 F800 with Cummins 8.3. Truck weighed 14,750 and my trailer at 15k. Truck pulled decent but a stock 6.7 with Aisin would kick its butt. A 5.9 is not big enough for a 9, 10, or 13 speed. Later transmissions will be very big compared to my 9513 that was already too big. Do the research guys. Get a version with helical cut gears. My straight cut gears were loud. There are hundreds of variations of these transmissions when you go to the Eaton Fuller website with crazy gear ratio options. Fuller has a great website and grimmjeeper.com has the gear ratio calculator. You can never research these one off projects too much.

      I have actually seen the NP205 gear drive tranfer case clocked a few degrees from level to lower the amount of drop to help a little with clearance. For guys wanting a right side feed divorced t-case, in 1974 Dodge used a NP205 right side feed that was divorced. I am using one of those behind a NV4500 to power chevrolet axles.

And with a dual disc havent had a slippage issues and it has 7 liters of CAT in front of it. I thought about going the same route with a six speed eaton but when you find a 13 for cheap why not? Never the less great swap and looks great.

    I drive a road tractor and have been very interested in putting a medium nonsynced transmission in a light duty, I would prefer a 13 speed though, drives like a 8 speed usually but you can split the top end and they have a fantastic triple over drive.

    To convert the fs5406 to overdrive you have to swap the input shaft and Swap out 3 gears 1 on the main shaft and 2 on the counter shaft and that converts it but your shift pattern is backwards in 5th and 6th. You have to swap some parts from a fso6406 shift housing to fix the pattern

    After putting a tune on my '04 24 valve Cummins, and pulling a heavy equipment trailer with a skid-steer on it, I couldn't keep a clutch in it. Running the NV5600 trans, the stock clutch gave up at 60K miles. Went with an aftermarket clutch that was supposed to solve the problems...... next clutch at 110K miles. Then, after talking to the shop mechanic at the company I drove for, discovered a little company called VALAIR in Mineral Wells,TX. I had them install their ceramic/kevlar single disc clutch. It has a 3400# pressure plate and is rated for 500HP/1000TQ. I've now got 238K on the truck and have had no clutch problems. Valair makes clutches for just about anything. They specialize in big truck clutches and pickups. This guy with the Eaton 6 speed might want to check them out....since his clutch is fading away....

      God's honest truth. I have an early 04 6 speed HO quad cab long bed 2wd. 50/50 traffic/highway I get 20.5 consistently in winter and 19.5 in summer. Worse economy in summer because the AC is on morning and night. But I'm in Houston which is completely flat and at sea level and I don't drive over 65 with a 2wd manual transmission. So maybe you couldn't consider me real world because most people don't have those driving conditions. It's about as good as it can get honestly.

    • @skstibi

      Yeah. I’m skeptical since there’s no overdrive. I’m not going to say it’s impossible but still. I have an 05 with a 6.7 and NV5600 and I get about 23mpg if I keep around 70-75mph, but I have a ton of work into making mine what it is.

      I'm here in the US are we referring 20km per gallon or miles per gallon? If it's km per gallon that's egual to about 12.5 miles per gallon which is horrible compared to my 05.5 5.9 with a G56 i average 14 city and 17 highway. But at the same time I'm on my second rebuild in 230000 miles and don't dare to run anything hotter than 100hp tune or shit goes poof haha. Ultra fast learning curve. What kind of torque will the Eaton handle?

    Yes, my bone stock (other than exhaust) early '04 305/555 with the stock 6 speed does exactly the same thing.

    That SAE2 bell/motor plate will not fit into a 1st gen without deleting the heat and AC to allow cutting the firewall about 6 in up past the trans tunnel.

    The 48re in stock form is lack luster, but the 48re is easy to upgrade to take insane power. Many of the newer 6.7 owners swap to the 48re because the newer trans can not be built to take the power.
    The NV5600 is the stock standard. Its considered to be a very stout 6 speed. Just a lot of unnecessary work for no gain.
    ATS, RevMax, Sonax, FirePunk, PDD just to name a few make the 48re's to take up to 1500hp and 2500lb tq.

For a Dailey driver and that year where it’s gcvw isn’t more then 18Klbs? I bet the 6 speed is plenty. Good mileage! My woreout 04 duramax only gets 17mpg at best.

He’s going to have to do one of 3 things, make an adaptor to a np271-3, buy a truck load of np205s and replace them every time he changes oil lol, or buy a super expensive drop box from atlas or scs. There were np273s made divorced for Chevy medium duty trucks but it was passenger side drop. Other medium-heavy duty trucks use divorces t-cases but they are massive and heavy.

  • @joshbobst1629

    The _only_ reason to consider mating a ten speed to an engine with a 1500 rpm powerband is if you are willing to spend that much to keep your revs in the 400 rpm sweet spot. That is what multi-range transmissions are for: engines that are meant to do their best work between 1300 and 1700 rpm. Hell, Mack for years equipped their vocational trucks with a five speed, because Mr. Mack in the 1960s engineered a diesel engine - called the maxidyne high torque rise - that could operate under load all the way from 1050 rpm to 1900, which remains unprecedented for engines in that class. Of course, that five speed transmission was enormous, because to get that kind of power at 1050 rpms you needed some impressive torque numbers, and that demanded some beefy equipment to transmit. The 300 HP Macks I was driving in the '90s made 1650 lb ft at those low revs. Mack transmissions are 50% bigger than Road-Rangers and almost twice as heavy.

    If you've got a problem with your highway mileage or something, just go with a numerically lower final drive ratio. Those are more efficient anyway and rob less power. You're talking about starting out in 3rd sometimes, well there's your problem. I'm pretty sure you've got an 80 in there and you can run a 3.23 in those. Probably a pretty good RPM on the highway there.
