try and get a picture of the front axle, there seems to be a mystery on what front axle they are using in front of these trucks...

I am sure they have a gooseneck, if its a B&W I do not know. I just saw them on ebay.

Thats what the website says 410 but I dont think its right. There is only a option for 488 on the 5500 and if you build a 4500 your options are 444 and 488. That leads me to believe that 444 is the standard and 488 is a option. Dont makes since that 444 isnt offered on the 5500. Thats what I want is the 444. I think 488 would be way to low in the manual.

Did they change the gearing in the autos? I ran some numbers, and to be at 2500 RPM at 75 mph in 6th you'd have to have 4.88's. With 4.44's, 2500 RPM would be 85 mph.

The ratios I came up with for the AISIN 6sp auto are 3.74, 1.96, 1.34, 1.00, 0.77 and 0.63.
