Awwww, Gene, ya didn't tell them you make 700 hp and powershifted to third. #ad
I don't call that oil-related #ad
Missing a gear is hard to blame on oil #ad

Couldn't resist this, Gene has been getting in too many on me lately #ad
Lets see what Dave Mitchell/Enterprise Engines finds when they pull his 4500 apart next week #ad


Vibration in 4th is most likely NOT oil related. Few bearings are involved because power is not going through the countergear (cluster), just straight through the mainshaft. Also, we all know how much the Cummins vibrates under load at low rpm--that alone can lead to transmission problems and no oil can prevent it.
