I recently bought this 53 truck. Has a 235 in it with an OD tranny. Overdrive never hooked-up since rebuild. When I bought it, to my best description, the tranny is in Free-Wheeling mode.
I think it is a Borgwarner. The solenoid off the tranny looks like the wires should attach to the end of it, but not hooked-up but nothing there.
Questions stem from how you go about correctly testing one and a few usage questions.
- • Do you just connect the solenoid to 12vdc and see if it clicks?
- • If it does, is your next step driving it and see if the OD kicks in?
- • Do you have to be in Free-Wheel mode before you can engage OD?
- • Can you use OD in either mode?
- • Does it hurt the OD tranny to not be in Free-wheel mode? Meaning, just leave it in regular mode and not in Freewheel?
- • Why use Freewheel at all if you can drive in either mode?
