Eaton 10 Speed....
Ive been dreaming this up for a while now. But i want to see if there is any one out there who has actually done it. Do yall know of ANY one who has put an eaton 10 speed transmission in a dodge? ive seen a guy on you tube with the chevy cummins he put a 10 speed behind. is there any one out there that has put any twin countershaft nonsynro tranny in a dodge? 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 18 speed? Ive put allison autos in yard tractors at work, their 4spd autos that go behind the b-series, and we have some c-series. ive done countless clutches in the 10speeds, 14 and 15.5 inch double disc clutches, those eatons weigh close to 600lbs. i think the meritors and rockwells are little lighter. i hate those transmissions, dont hold up in comparison to the eaton. its like compairing an craftsman ratchet to a snap-on ratchet. anyway, i know there are flywheel houseing out ther for it, its just getting the dodge to fit over it, and addapting the np205 to the back of it thats got me thinking. i much prefer a nonsyncro tranny. so much easier on your clutch leg, and just makes more sense from a mechanic stand point. since i work on class 8 trucks, i keep trying to find ways to make my dodge more like one. if i could just rig up air brakes for it, oh how great that would be. air is so much more practical than hydraulics. ok enough of my pipe dreams  any body got a clue or two about a 10spd dodge cummins?
