The 117mm transmission (also called SM465) wasn't ever used in those. It was used in 1/2 ton (class 1), and maybe through the 2-ton (class 3) - which are typically referred to as "light duty". So "big" as compared to the mini-pickups, but not really a "big truck". *smiles* -- Philip, who once earned a living driving big trucks _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
