No p-pump there. Thats a VE pump like out of a first gen. They can be turned up, but no where near as far.

That's more than likely a twin countershaft unit, right? I'd think that all 13 speeds are twin countershafters?



And twin countershafters are heavy. 500-800 lbs heavy. They don't have mainbox synchros, so you have to float gears/ rev-match. And they're noisy.

ditto. I think it'd be bada$$, especially off road in 4low, you'd never have to touch the brakes comin off the mountain

I don't really see the point other than just saying you have one.

if it was a straight 13 speed i would try and find something that i could split the gears with and have a nice 26 gear ranges..........

all thirteens have a hi low range and an overdrive, it would be way to heavy for our trucks and be lucky to get it between the rails.
