I just bought a Warner T-86-1 with overdrive off ebay. one was sold just before I got mine. Payed $600. the seller says he has more. just thought I would share the opportunity. New message from: uschri.jb6gmu5 (357) I have only one more of these units left with overdrive an two T-86-1 without overdrive if you know of anyone interested, thanks again.

While I am researching this transmission combination (Warner T-9 1L, connected to a Warner Muncie L1-1gearbox) I am wondering if it is possible to rearrange the differential gears? The truck is a 1935 Dodge Brothers 1 1/2 ton dually. Really don't want to change out the differential for a different one and then have to get adapters so I can keep the stalk rims. (Already powder coated). After spinning the rear tires I calculated the differential gears are 5.4. Would like to go up to at least 4.10 I have read of guys swapping out the same vintage gears if they have the right combo to fit in the housing. Any guidance on this? Are there swappable parts out there?

Hello all, New in this neck of the woods. I just bought a 1935 Dodge Brothers 1 1/2 ton truck (dually). With a flathead 6 and a 4 speed. Engine seems to be a 1946 218 First the engine numbers: PI8*235432* Still looking for a vin number. transmission numbers: (transmission seems to be two parts the back half seems to have it's ability to engage locked in one position.) Warner Gear Co. T9-1L connected to: Warner Gear Co. Muncie L1-1 I use the truck for my business and most of the time doing 40 mph is fine but ever now and then I need to get on the main road an I would like to be able to get the truck up to 55 or 60. I am wonder what this transmission set up is? And how to repair it (manuals??) if I can find parts for this back half. The T9 works fine. Also wondering if it is possible to find a higher ring and pinion for the differential so that I don't need to change the whole back end. But first I need to know what the gear ratio is in this rear end?? Then where or from what vehicle can I find a parts that will fit into this rear end. Lot of questions about the new toy. Thanks for any info or directions on any of these questions.
