Good things, Detroit two strokes. Always start. Can pull the haemorhoids out of any Cummins exhaust pipe. More low speed torque than any competitor. Keep clean oil and filters up to them and they go forever.Quote:

I bet they weren't frozen on arrival.Quote:

I had a two speed Eaton diff on my old truck and the switch was mounted on the gearstick. He seems to use the "Joey box" stick more than the main, if that is the how they are laid out. The truck is an old Diamond T, very similar to a Reo that I also worked on at one time. That was a tandem drive, no 2 speed diff.
Your speedo worm on the output shaft is probably slipping due to the nut on the end of the shaft not being tight.Quote:
