International MDT questions.

The 6+1 transmission there is 2 different transmissions like this one is for hydraulic brakes and the other is for airbrakes. My truck has juice brakes and the imput shaft is smaller and it has a ebrake on the back of the trans, The air brake trans has a bigger imput shaft and doest have the ebrake on the rear and the yolk is for a bigger ujoint too. That is how my truck is set up you can change the parts out to make the other one work. I have a couple of them for parts I have robbed them a few times. My truck is a 4700 the transmissons I have bought was out of a 4900 and had to change the parts around.

I have juice brakes too. There is a thread on pirate that has pics and info. On swapping the rear ebrake and yoke over. Even has part numbers for the clutch disc to keep the bigger input. Thanks for the help I need all I can get. My truck is a S1600 International (x uhaul truck).
 
Maybe this is a dumb question or I have been drinking excessively, but why did you buy a MDT to tow only 2500lbs? Perhaps we should step back and evaluate your decision making paradigm? Wouldn’t nearly any small truck, suv, or minivan accomplish this task and get pretty darn good gas mileage at the same time?

I bought it to use a toy hauler. To haul 5 or 6 bikes to Sturgis and Daytona and such. That way me a couple buddies can take bikes and drive non stop. I will also use it local to haul a few fox body's and rangers. But on long trips hauling bikes I want to be able to run 75-80 mph.
