Sure could, just depends on how much money you want to throw at it, and what year you got depends on how much you cut. The trans tunnel will need cut out and a new one made, the firewall may need to be cut higher for the flywheel housing, and if its 4wd either an adapter made for a married case, or a divorced case be run. And you better have a dana 60 under the front if it's 4wd to hold the weight. Theres a guy who did a facebook write up on a 10 speed in a dodge with a married transfer case.
@@rigobertodelamora1493 I do Believe that in the 70s I think it was, the big bock c65 ans 70s had a adapter plate that allowed the gm 90 degree v8 pattern bolt up to a roadranger, but they were pretty rare.
Haters gonna hate.. I build and restore show cars for a living and this build impresses me, hes being different and one off.. Ppl who talk shit about other peoples builds usually are jealous because they lack the skills to replicate it..
Rafael Goris I will only skip when downshifting, currently driving a Cascadia with a Straight 10 Speed, and start in 2nd if loaded, 3rd if empty, and 4th if bobtail; though I do need to start in 1st when loaded from a dead stop on an upgrade
BECAUSE..........Hell Yeah!!!!! There's nothing wrong with doing your own thing........been thinking of doing this to my Dodge for a while now.........nothing wrong with shifting a few gears.
@502nuts yes i am sure its a rt-613 i installed it lol. by the way red button for 13 speed, blue 15, grey 18. it has a 15 speed shift knob because its a deep reduction trans. not like most 13s where you split the top 4. this is why i flipped the blue button after 3 shifts to get to low range than 5 to hi....
Hi That's a good truck sounds nice on the shifts. Like I always said about certain farm tractors they don't need a radio a guy could listen to the motor working it's music all day. this trucks the same. It shifts gears nice too, used to drive a tandem truck with a 13 speed Eaton RR in it shifted just like a race car . I could get it to shift 6 gears in a pretty short distance in the bosses yard with a full load on lol. Thanks for posting this. Regards Robert
Ha Ha... Sweet setup! Although, I'm not sure if I'd want to run an Eaton 13 on a daily.... The Series 60 just seems to wind it up better! Great video Sir!
Had the same 13 speed in a gas 427 powered C70 GMC tandem log truck. Instead of a high and low range selector the splitter was 3 positions. Low-intermediate - high. Low was 1,2,3 split to intermediate back to 1 like a 10 or 15 speed shift 1-5 split to high repeat 1-5. You could shift all 5 positions in low split to intermediate but drop back to 3 rd and continue because of ratio overlap. It didn’t shift like the traditional 13 speeds more like a 15 speed.
That is a badass conversion for that truck. What did it have before the 6bt? Guessing either the 6.5 GM diesel or 7.4L Vortec correct? Yours is a 12v now? Also how much is one of those transmissions and would it bolt up to my '01 24v S.O?
Id like to know what mpg he gets on highway,ive thought about an 8 or a 10 speed in an old school cummins swap,seems with right rear end it should get pretty damn good mpg
@14omega28ok Well ass hole, its a service truck for work. It's 17,500lbs, plus it tows and hauls stuff. It needs this! you probably drive a ford with a 6.0 and think its cool. I hate newer trucks too, but this is a work truck I built out of used parts for cheep.- Buck
Damn that looks like fun!!=) A 13 speed was my favorite before ii became disabled and had to retire.But a one ton like that would be fun for my little farm. 13 speed or a twin stick..? lol Damn wish I had dreamed this up . And that low 3 would be great for heavy loads on a small farm in the field or on the road.Didnt care for the music much . I'd rather hear that kick ass truck engine!Nothing could top that sound!
tim h twin stick would be easier. If you have a 4 speed ford or Chevy Borg warner or Muncie Advance adapters makes a 2 speed overdrive for them. It's a manual so it turns your 4 into a twin stick 8 speed. They say it's not compatible with the nv4500 5 speed but the input shafts are the same only difference is the spacing in the bolt pattern.... i did the math on it. And it would be a great splitter for a 5 speed. Reducing rpm by 27 % making the jump between gears a lot smaller so the engine gets bogged down less. And can operate at a consistent pace and save fuel. .... only issue is. The fact the both the aux and 5th gear are 27% OD SO 5th becomes a 27% OD overlapped gear rendering it kinda useless So it would be a 9 speed that you would shift 10 times....
@247copenhagen high low splitter is the little lever in the front of the shifter. then the gear splitter is under his thumb. splitter back lever down, gears 1,2,3. then splitter forward lever down back to 1 for 4th then shift through the pattern so 4,5,6,7,8 then lever up and back to 1 again for 9,10,11,12,13. count it at the begining of the vid. looks like roadranger 10 speed pattern with the splitter added for 3 low gears at the begining.
So, what exactly was the thinking in putting that roadranger and ISL Cummins in that 1-ton truck? Was it capability reasons, or were none of the smaller eaton/spicer 6-speeds tough enough for whatever you use that truck for?
it doesn't have an engine. it's powered by rowing. it is just done cause it can be. I pulled 13k with mine skipping gears. some people like sounding like your clutch is slipping or not engaging.
I just finished up the mounts on my 98 3500HD crew cab. It has a 6v53T under the hood with a RTO613. I cant wait to grab some gears in it. I have a N80's and a Jake for on it as well. Picking up my drive shaft tomorrow...
@Alarichswiftpaw I like how you left out the fact that your answer only applies to newer electronically controlled vehicles. Most older vehicles had cable driven speedo's hooked to the transmission or in the case of 4x4 vehicles, the transfer case. Some of the electronic systems either get the speed from the tone ring on the ABS (usually rear axle - as in your example) or from the engines computer using the RPM's and current gear.
@247copenhagen I looked up RT613 on google. It is essentially a 15 speed trans where 2 of the low low gears overlap. So it is called a 13 speed. You shift 1-2-3 in deep low, go up to intermediate 4-5-6-7-8 range shift to high shift 9-10-11-12-13. I think it was used in medium duty trucks like large dump trucks. I drove for 12 years and never ran across this either. There are to many variations to claim you know it all I guess....
friggen sexy! shoulda turned the radio down for us to hear the engine sing a little bit better though. how hard was that conversion? im planning on sticking an eaton behind a 6BT or a ISB 24V sometime down the road and any input is helpful.
What a trippy shift pattern. How long it take to get comfortable with? watched a few different vids with different trans with different patterns. Very cool though.
i wanted a set up like this in my 3500 hd rollback for towing heavy stuff in the mountains , but i got the 6.5 to pull 15 psi up the pass with some tweeking from heath diesel, the cummins is a good choice , i have a 12 valve going in an f350 once i get through this winter.
tennesseeHOSS91Wayne Johnson gentleman, this is an old school 13 speed the shift pattern is similar to the 10 or 15 speed but it goes as follows. deep reduction 1 2 3 flip button low range or direct as it used to be referred to 4 5 6 7 8 flip button to high range 9 10 11 12 13. this transmission was typically spec in vocational trucks IE dump trucks and my first experience with it was in a 1981 international 2500 with a DT 466 and very low rear end gears lots of grunt not lots of speed. With that said check your facts before you comment .
Having that single range selector seemed much easier for me to remember. Just as you said, 1,2,3, flip to next range, 4,5,6,7,8, flip to final range, and 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
@@shawnjarman9860 You can't count man. Watch it again! He shifted 13 times. Actually it is a 15 speed. He started in deep reduction. Then flipped to low range. Then finally flipped to high range and shifted 13 times. On these 15 speeds I start in deep reduction 2nd go to 3rd. Then flip to low range and back to 2nd and on up to 5th. Then flip to high range and back to 1st and on up to top gear. Great fun! Been driving these for 43 years and it never gets old for me. The reason I love 15 speed transmissions is because all ranges are close ratio. A modern 13 speed is wide ratio in low range, and then close ratio in high range only if you use the splitter. Close ratio transmissions sound so nice with a Cat engine. Now that is music to my ears!
Nunya Business You seem to be new to this business of driving trucks. I have 3 1/2 million miles long haul under my belt. Let me try to educate you. The transmission here is a 15 speed, but only has 12 or 13 usable gears. You do not split these transmissions. There is no splitter. You instead have a range selector. There are three ranges. Deep reduction. Low range and then High range. In this video the guy shifted all three ranges. He started in deep reduction. Shifted 1, 2 and 3. Then he flipped the range selector to Low range and shifted 1,2,3,4, and 5. Then he flipped the range selector to High range and shifted 1,2,3,4, and 5. Watch it again. On a 13 speed to use all gears you could start in Low, then 2,3,4 and 5. Then you flip the range selector to High, and go back to 2 low, 2 high, 3 low, 3 high, 4 low, 4 high, 5 low and 5 high. Count 'em. That is thirteen shifts. You however do not need to start in low range low. Most guys start in low range 2. Stupid clutch burners start in low range 3. The boss does not like the smell of burning clutches though. BTW, on any 13 speed you can split all high range gears up and down. On an 18 speed you can split all Low range and High range gears, up or down, if you like. Hope this helps. I am a driver trainer, and if you need additional information I am always happy to help. Drive safe !
I've pulled FAK in a box and building materials since I've been pulling a flatbed. Mainly drywall out of southern indiana gypsum mines and anything and everything for backhaul
How much power does the 13 speeds rob from the engine. I run an inline 292 six cylinder in a C 60 Chevrolet. It gets great fuel mileage for what it is but 4 speed and 2 speed rear has too big of a gap to keep it where it pulls good plus the 2 speed is so slow some times it misses when it should have engaged and when I nail the gas it redlines.
whats a good drive axle to use for a transmission like that? I was going to go with a gmc full float 8 lug, "14 bolt" (gawr 6000 lbs, gvwr 8600*; citation needed) but I don't want my project truck's drive axles gettin' all snapped up or blow up the pumpkin. I do plan on using a 2 speed bw 1356 t-case for the tandem axles and I hope that it ain't gonna snap up either lol. Is what I described a solid option or would something else be better?
@@brandonlowe3509 Wrong. 15-speed, which is a 10-speed with 5 crawler gears (super low), two of which (4th and 5th) overlap with 1st and 2nd in low range. This is why he only used 13 out of 15 gears. Watch the pattern. He goes through the pattern three times. 1-3 in super low range, 1-5 in low range and 1-5 in high range.
I don't really know much about cummins 6BT motors, so i am going to ask, Does that motor have a engine brake or a jake brake or a exhaust brake? and can you bolt a RTO-613 up to it? Thanks.
I’m trying to do this same exact build same truck any pointers would be greatly appreciated my big question what did you do for the conversion from Cummins to the 13 is there a way I can order the part or do I have to go have it made somewhere
every vehicle in fast and furious has this exact transmission!
Winner
Omg👍
18 speed Charger that does a 30 second 1/4!
🤣🤣🤣🤣💔

Nothing like shifting 46 times to pull out of the driveway.

If you don't understand why he "put a 13 speed in a full size truck" then you're not him. Badass conversion man. Good for you.
I get it. I learned to drive truck with a 13 speed in a kenworth.
Ok, just so the people who know zip about real transmissions know. I made the video to show how an RT-613 works. No you don't need To grab all gears.
Could you build a 5.9l with a 9 or 13 speed Eaton Fuller in a Ford 1 ton?
Sure could, just depends on how much money you want to throw at it, and what year you got depends on how much you cut. The trans tunnel will need cut out and a new one made, the firewall may need to be cut higher for the flywheel housing, and if its 4wd either an adapter made for a married case, or a divorced case be run.

What gear ratio is in the rearend
why does everyone criticize him for this build? remember it is his truck, not yours. if he wants to put this setup in his truck, then so be it.

finally a real truck with a real engine and real transmission. here's to keeping it real!!
badass I've always wanted to do that conversion to a pick up, nice build.
I love this build, you did big and I'd shift like that everywhere I went.

"Whatever the fuck I please."

"ummm..."
smartmandakota "How do you stop it?"

thecohorts a easy answer... whatever is in front of him
he didnt have to shift that many times unless he was loaded down he could have skipped some gears. i think hes just showing all the gears it has lol
bobby cbr I'm a truck driver and I don't skip gears not even when I'm MT. It's not good for the tranny and is lazy. That's my believe
its not bad for the truck whatsoever as long as youre in a reasonable rp range that isnt lugging the engine. but to each their own
Rafael Goris I will only skip when downshifting, currently driving a Cascadia with a Straight 10 Speed, and start in 2nd if loaded, 3rd if empty, and 4th if bobtail; though I do need to start in 1st when loaded from a dead stop on an upgrade
Rafael Goris skipping gears is perfectly fine for the transmission
Optic Peterbilt as long as your engine has the torque and it ain't to heavy on the transmission
that truck must be a blast to drive, thanks for sharing!
8 gears to finally get it on the road lol! Beautiful work!

What is the switch you were flipping? just wondering I have never seen how these shift before and it is pretty neat.
great video id like to see more on how to do this swap
the dip cup is the perfect touch lol
I like the custom spit cup.

Can yo tell me your transmission combo ?? Thanks
Have you ever used the first 3 for anything other than the sheer fun of it?
atsernov pretty sure you wouldn't need first unless you were trying to pull a building down
is that an engine break switch on the dash? you really went all out with your truck

DUDE .... THATS AWESOME ....... I totally want a 10 speed
John Gates It's a 15 speed. He shifted through three ranges and got 13 shifts. 10 speeds can't do that.
That would get tiring but it could pull a rocket ship!
Damn, that's a hell of a wrist workout. xD
love it, I would love to put one in my 2007 Toyota Tocoma TRD Sport but I like 5 spd in it.
It takes 14 gears to get to 35 mph?
its a 13 speed chode bomb
You don't have to use every gear when there is no load.
i know that. he could start out in high range if he wanted
Brandon lowe with that Cummins I'd launch in 5th
@@brandonlowe3509 Wrong. 15-speed, which is a 10-speed with 5 crawler gears (super low), two of which (4th and 5th) overlap with 1st and 2nd in low range. This is why he only used 13 out of 15 gears. Watch the pattern. He goes through the pattern three times. 1-3 in super low range, 1-5 in low range and 1-5 in high range.
I want this pickup :O
I don't really know much about cummins 6BT motors, so i am going to ask, Does that motor have a engine brake or a jake brake or a exhaust brake? and can you bolt a RTO-613 up to it?
Thanks.
I’m trying to do this same exact build same truck any pointers would be greatly appreciated my big question what did you do for the conversion from Cummins to the 13 is there a way I can order the part or do I have to go have it made somewhere
LOL FUCK YEA!! SHE IS SWEET! GOOD JOB BRO!!
