In one of my trade mags, there is a 60series and allison HD750 transmission for sale 24,000 for the pair. I have no connection to these items, Maybe someone can use for a up grade, Add call Bob @ 814-329-3317, This is some where in Pa.
Since no one else has responded to this one, I quess I will. Isn't the asking price a little bit high? Just wondering. :) :) :)
If it was a low mileage 14L with a B500 Allison it would be a good buy but not with a 750 transmission
It would hardly be a buy with a B500 tranny. Ebay has a 14L Series 60 supposedly with half of a 500,000 mile warranty from Detroit remaining for $13,000.
Too much $$$$$$$$
Belfert, have you priced a B500 without a core to exchange
No I have not priced a B500 without core, but I know MCI sells reman B500s exchange required for $10,000 to $11,000 and they probably are not the cheapest place around.
The Allison World 4000 series trannies should work in a bus as the B500 is basically a 4000 series tranny. There are a probably more 4000 series trannies out there in motorhomes, garbage trucks, straight trucks, and the like than B500s.
Regardless, the price for a HD750 tranny and a Series 60 is really high.
Just so you all know, at my Freightliner dealer I asked what a factory rebuilt Series 60 costs with a 3yr/300,000mi warranty- thats $16,000-and you have to have the old engine to switch the parts from. A brand new in the crate Series 60 is $65,000 ready to install! So $24,000 might be a bit high, but if it has all the electronics, trans shifter, gas pedal and wiring with it, it isn't such a bad deal. Good Luck, TomC
PS- got a general price from Pedco to change out my 13spd transmission (in my truck-and its' a cabover which is the easiest to work on) to an Allison HT740- $10,000. If I use the Allison HD4060 (like the B500)- $20,000 installed.
