Ken talked about a friend who is a top
authority on transmissions and his love of ford t-6 gear systems, because
they keep him well employed. he said this friend proceeded to show him a 55
gallon barrel of broken parts, not a Chevy or dodge part in there, all ford.

Gee; thanks. Really ups my confidence flying a 20B with a Ford C-6
planetary reduction:).

You have to also consider the high mileage on the auto transmissions and the heavy loads they had been hauling with a big diesel engine behind them but still its a comparison that says the Dodge is stronger, the two problems that show up in the C-6 in the trucks are sun gear teeth chipping and planet bearing failure which may be worst in our application do to the higher rpm however in the case of 2.17 gearbox where the planet carrier is held still it would get better oiling than in the 2.85 units.
