Your old friend Bill needed to make many trips over Wolf Creek Pass pulling 32 foot goose neck with older tractors, heavy old tractors. Power was Ford 460 automatic with mid 3 00 ratio. First trip made the pull in low with engine hot at the summit, and me sweating cost of possibly transmission rebuild. Located an older Browning Lite ( later bought out by spicier) having st ratio and a 15 percent reduction as well as a 2 to one reduction . These aux boxes were often new in 2 ton dodge and IH single trucks. First return trip stopped at west end of Wolf Creek shifted aux box to lowest ratio. In drive gear speed odometer was showing 60 while actual was 30 mph. Just waved at large motor homes stopped to let their rig cool down. On the down slop shifted to 15 percent with truck in low very little braking required. Instillation dropped out barrier bearing ( truck was extended cab long box). Later when pulling 40 foot fifth wheel camper often in wind the 15 percent reduction gave better fuel mileage and less strain on truck. Large motor homes with diesel might require aux box from larger road tractor.
