Been doing some research on transmission options.
Auto's:
M3060-rated for around 900ft/lbs of torque, has a .75 and .65 overdrive ratios (computer controlled).
MT653-rated for around 600ft/lbs of torque, no overdrive.
MT654-Higher rating, no overdrive. M900 series trans.
Manuals:
5 and 6 speeds all seem to have the same .79 overdrive ratio, no improvement over the spicer stock overdrive.
11 and 13 speeds have a .71 final overdrive.
Transfercase:
Stock deuce tcase has a 1:1 high range, haven't found it's torque rating.
T-1138 transfer case from a 900 series 5 ton has a high ratio of .73
Since my goal is 60-65mph, finding a way to get the rpm's down to 1800-2100 at those speeds makes sense. Extended engine life, better fuel economy, and quieter engine noise. These RPM's are with 395 (46") tires and the stock 6.72 axle ratio
Overall ratio of .79, 2327rpm at 60mph, 2521rpm at 65mph.
5-6 speed manual and stock deuce Tcase.
With a overall ratio of .73, that's 2150rpm at 60mph, 2329rpm at 65mph.
MT653 or MT654 with T1138 Tcase.
Overdrive at .71, 2091rpm at 60mph, 2265rpm at 65mph.
11 and 13 speed manual trans with stock deuce Tcase.
Overdrive at .65, 1914rpm at 60mph, 2074rpm at 65mph.
MD3060 and deuce Tcase.
Overdrive at .58, 1708rpm at 60mph, 1851rpm at 65mph.
5 or 6 speed manual with T1138 Tcase.
With the RPM's figured for the different combinations, It leaves 3 options for my goals.
1. Stock M900 series trans/Tcase.
2. 11 or 13 speed manual with deuce Tcase.
3. Allison MD3060 with deuce Tcase.
For the price tag, the stock drivetrain from a M900 series appears to be the best option. The big question is, will it fit? An MD3060 gives the best final rpm ratio, but I haven't looked at their price tag yet.
