That was a lot of reading to do. Definatly learned some knew things from those there posts from above. But now i remeshed my gears and they dont spin anymore and my truck will start to drive really slow and overheat my engine. Do you think i should get a new engine now?

Sounds like you set the mmesh too tight. Use a peice of paper in between the Spur gear and the CB to set the mesh.
