What size tires do you have on yours? I have the old 16.5 wheels and want to change them to regular 16's but have to find out which ones will fit on it.

Have you looked at gear vendors? Another option would be to look for a a518 46RH or an a618 (which is essentially a 727 with overdrive) mopar transmission. That will get you the extra gearing you want. You may have to figure wiring and such.

Here are 2 links to read on more technical issues.

A618 (47RH/47RE/48RE)[edit source | editbeta]
The A618, later renamed 47RH (hydraulic controlled governor pressure) and 47RE (electronic controlled governor pressure), is a heavier-duty version of A518. It was used in trucks and vans starting in the mid-1990s. While currently used with some internal changes when coupled to the 5.9 L Cummins Turbo-Diesel and the 8.0 L V-10 applications, it's still a 727 with overdrive and stronger internal parts. It has an input torque rating of 450 lb·ft (610 N·m). The 48RE is an electronically-governed, four-speed heavy-duty overdrive automatic transmission, that is stronger than its predecessor, the 47-series.

Also was wondering if my rig is a class b or c? I been hearing different stories from my neighbors

[Shaliberty]

Well, I've seen Class B+, a little over a class B, As far as registration, GA considers it a Class C I think it is.
