some of that size trucks (UPS I know of for sure) ran a 5 spd. eaton behind the 5.9, but they weren't an O/D tranny, a buddy of mine has one he was gonna try & use on a ford/cummins conversion, but the gearing was gonna be way too low on it, they may have a 6,7,or 8 spd. out there somewhere though, like some of the F-600-800 ford's used that'll mate up to the 5.9, not sure how to go about working in the X-fer case though???

Get an atlas, and divorce it. That would be sweet.

Eaton has the FSO-8406A which is a overdrive 6 speed, I've also heard of guys putting the RTO-610 10 speeds in also.

i need something that is guranteed to bolt to the 5.9. It'll be hard enough trying to right the cross member to fit!

If it is the trans, i may do a conversion. If not, ill just fix what ever else it is. However, i may end up doing this later, my dumb trans grinds.
