OK Dodge Boys. AS some of you know I had a set back with my WC51. Spun Bearing. BO WHO sad bummer and all of that. My one buddy has always told me that I drive my trucks to much and thats whay the engine trouble. He has alot of WW2 stuff that he moves around with trailers. I love driving my old trucks. I cant move them with a trailer all the time. 3 to 4 times a year they go on a 120 miles round trip. Mostly secondary road but some highway at speeds around 40mph. The only option I have is to change the gearing to 4.89. NO not changing engine or trans. My Command Car came with 4.30 ratio. Came from and old Dodge Route Van. She rides around 50mph nice. I never mind the slower speed of the WC51. I except the speed and enjoy it. SO is it the reason my engine went bad. The engine was in good working order and was rebuild about 10,000 miles ago, Previos owner. IM Ok with a gear change. Lets here you Ideas. It will make me feel better. Pulling that engine was a pain in the rear. O Is there a 5 speed trans that will be a bolt in install??? Thank and have a good day. Bill. The Dodge Boys.
