Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / May 2007torque splitter?
wondering who offers what in regards to a torque splitter for my '05 cummins powered dodge? it would work out well if i could use stock gearing most of the time, and a torque splitter when towing heavy. thanks,  SignatureNathan In Montana http://ConcealedCarryForum.com http://1911Talk.com http://HiPowerTalk.com http://GlockCarry.com http://InlineDiesel.com > wondering who offers what in regards to a torque splitter for my '05 cummins > powered dodge? it would work out well if i could use stock gearing most of > the time, and a torque splitter when towing heavy. > thanks, What are you calling a torque sitter?

There are popular amongst RV'ers that tow heavy. I don't know the URL but a Google search should reveal their website. They might have a solution to your problems.

If you research them you will find that not only are they pricey but they also use hyd clutchs for OD and underdrive and since there is no external pump on them that means that you are going to have to be turning some drive shaft RPM's to run the pump in it to shift it which means under drive will not be avaible for startout so this is not good. Also they recommand 5000 mile oil change intervals which means it is not a install and forget unit. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com >>US Gear makes auxilliary transmisions that might be helpful.

US Gear does not list a underdrive option. Given today vehicles that all have OD and generally taller axle ratios, they should offer a underdrive option rather than OD only. I question the value of a aux OD unit for towing gear splitter plus it would tend to increase strain on main tranny on hard pulls rather than decrease it. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com > US Gear does not list a underdrive option. <sigh> Once again (I know, I'm shocked, too), you are incorrect: http://www.usgear.cc/dual_range.htm >> US Gear does not list a underdrive option. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.usgear.cc/dual_range.htm Does it ever end?????????????????? > Does it ever end??????????????????

On the very link I gave you (I'll repeat it in case you missed it the first time) http://www.usgear.cc/dual_range.htm What's the second bullet in the gray box in the middle? "Available as Underdrive or Overdrive" From their first paragraph on that same page: "It is for this reason that US Gear offers TWO DIFFERENT AUXILIARY TRANSMISSIONS; AN UNDERDRIVE UNIT OR AN OVERDRIVE UNIT, MADE IN AMERICA" Now... do you want to keep telling me how I'm wrong, and US Gear only makes an overdrive unit? >>>Once again (I know, I'm shocked, too), you are incorrect: >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >Now... do you want to keep telling me how I'm wrong, and US Gear only makes >an overdrive unit? oh oh, you have made him dissappear again! <theguy@whatever.net> wrote in message > oh oh, you have made him dissappear again!

You have to think of second over as third under to justify that terminology. I can't quite wrap my mind around that terminology. Without a first under drive...well...I can't get there from here. The US Gear IS a true underdrive unit and could be a help to Nate if he decides to go that way. >> US Gear does not list a underdrive option. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://www.usgear.cc/dual_range.htm That's why I suggested US Gear... but as usual, Snoman knows more than the folks who do this for a living.... <sigh> Mike >> wondering who offers what in regards to a torque splitter for my '05 >> cummins powered dodge? it would work out well if i could use stock [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Mike Or he could buy a real truck like a Kenworth or Peterbuilt. beekeep > Or he could buy a real truck like a Kenworth or Peterbuilt. In all seriousness, an FL50 would make a nice hauler for that 5th wheel. The only problem is, that's ALL it's good for - whereas the pickup can serve double/triple-duty as a hauler, a work truck, and a people mover. >> Or he could buy a real truck like a Kenworth or Peterbuilt. > > In all seriousness, an FL50 would make a nice hauler for that 5th wheel. > The only problem is, that's ALL it's good for - whereas the pickup can serve > double/triple-duty as a hauler, a work truck, and a people mover. before i bought the 05 i was looking seriously at the isuzu NPR comes in crew cab and the local dealer said i could get one with the body i wanted installed for around 35K i think. i wanted the truck body like what the "western hauler" conversions have. a neighbor down the road has a freightliner crew cab kinda like what i was looking at in the isuzu that he uses as a daily driver. nice rig.
