    I was looking online it seems that they use to hook the 6613 to 275 and 250 cummins alot. is the 6613 is the funny 13 speed it's diffrent from just driving it like a 9 speed then spliting the high range ain't it. you might be ok as long as you do not turn the power up on the cat.is it a 3208,3116,3126

    I like an eaton RT11609 low hole 9-speed. BTW, what would you take for the 6613? I got a 6-71 that would enjoy being mated with it.

    We have a tri axle with a 300hp 3306 cat and a 8ll, it does fine and i don't have anything bad to say about it, but i have allways thought a 13 would be the best for it.
