one of our owner ops said he got a price of 1500 to have it done, no big deal, just have to add the o/d box I can ask him who gave him the quote if you want

Fredog....please do ask where he got the quote and post it, this is something I would like to condider. I think it would be possible to recover the cost fairly quickly with much of any fuel savings.
Thanks

Did one years ago, just added the 13 speed back section on the 9 speed. Have one now I'm gonna do that with, if I can remember what all was involved.

he said he got the quote from Yancey/Cat in Resaca Ga, I75 exit 320 across from the flying J, sorry it took so long, I didnt see him until Friday,
and no, it's not an ex werner truck, they mostly have super 10s, this is just a regular 9 speed.
