Overdrive Transmission types
By John M. Sutton - 04/24/2003 8:16:03 PM; IP 68.154.145.84
I neglected to mention that the car OD version can be usually distinguished from the heavier duty truck OD version by three characteristics.
First, the truck version always has T-85N cast into the right side of the transmission casing itself.
Second, the car version has a slip joint in the tailshaft, much like an automatic transmission, whereas the truck variant has a carrier bearing for a 2 piece drive shaft , which has the slip joint in between the 2 driveshaft pieces.
Finally, the light duty version has a casting number on the OD casting with an R number. Anything R-10 or below is for a car, whereas R-11 is for the heavy duty version usually found in the F-series.
This thread, so far...
