I can’t remember but I thought the Road Ranger was an improvement over the old main gear box and a browning secondary gear box.
Happy roads to you.

Yes my trans is a 9 speed 4 over 5 split manual . Its is built by Eaton/Roadranger as far as old main gear box an secondary box I don't know anything about that. I will tell you what I do know. I love that truck when pulling my rigs. I can get up to 12.5 mpg when in tow and 65 mph. My motor it right at 1200 rpm in 9th. what becomes a pain is when we use the truck as are ground support and we have 9 speeds to go thru and when we are in traffic. But still glad I did the conversion from the 6 speed that was in there.
