What is the difference between a stock Toronado trans and GMC motorhome trans?

I am fairly certain the Revcon is straight toro with a 3.7 final drive.

Dave,

Since your GVW is 10,746 you're a bit lighter and therefore the trans will have a bit less stress on it compared to a GMC at 11,700
or 12,500.

I'd GUESS that the CD would be a bit higher as your front end is flat.

Regards,
Rob M.
