How to install if you have just downloaded this mod for the first time, first do not unzip the zip folder, leave it as zip folder, second if your computer OS (Operation System) is running windows I can help you locate the mod folder that is meant for installing mods locally for ATS (American Truck Simulator)
First step is locating your documents folder, after you located your documents folder you will need to search for the folder named "American Truck Simulator" if by any chance that the folder I just explained isn't there, there's nothing I can do to help you find the folder, if it is there then process to next step.
Next you will want to go into the folder called "American Truck Simulator" next you will find so many folders, ignore them, what you're really looking for is a folder called "mod" if for some reason that folder doesn't show, just simply create a new folder called "mod" has to be all lowercase, after that you can drag and drop the file from your downloads folder over to that mod folder, it's very simple to do. If you have any questions or need help don't forget to ask me for help. And I will help you out if I can.

NEW!
I just uploaded my mod to Trucky website, click here to get access to it!
Note:
You must have an account to download it off of Trucky, this is to limit users from downloading it, meaning that guest users cannot download the mod to upload it to third-party sites.
However, you can download it on my google drive if you wish.
But I do have a secondary way for you to be able to download my mod.
0xferd's Engine and Transmission megapack v6.5+
Thanks for downloading my mod if you have done so already!
Let me explain on what mod does, normally I only do def edits, I have created custom engines and transmissions based on Kriechbaum's, Zee's and SlavJerry's engine specs but with custom specs that I edited/modified for my own likings.
I also support a feature called "Crossover patch" in my own terms this means that Kriechbaum's, Zee's and SlavJerry's engines will be supported to other trucks that certain authors don't support just yet, when the actual authors update their mod, I go through mine to ensure that mine won't conflict with theirs, if it does, I will do my best to eliminate all issues that would cause a mod conflict.
I only support engines from Kriechbaum with edited/custom engine specs, Zee's N14 and 3406, can do others but I need .sui files for his engines, and I also support only SlavJerry C12, if for some reason that SlavJerry wants me to remove all C12 files from my mod I will gladly do so. I do not want to disrespect anyone here or any sound modders on this beautiful community.
My mod does not include any sounds whatsoever so you will need the following links that I have listed down below if you want my mod to work properly as intended.
Without any of these required mods or optional mods, my mod will not work at all.
Here are the required mods!
Kriechbaum's engine megapack v4.2 forum post
Kriechbaum's engine sound pack v4.2 download link
Fury6's E-F RTLO-xx913/18 Gearboxes + Diffs
Optional, but are not required, unless if you want to have custom specs of Zee's Cummins N14 and 3406.
You can also get them from Zee's website click here
Zee's N14 - custom spec only
Zee's 3406 - custom spec only
SlavJerry's C12 sound mod forum post
SlavJerry's C12 sound mod option 1 download link
SlavJerry's C12 sound mod option 2 download link
End of required mods:
Here are the current engine options available!
Note: these are just edits! You will need Kriechbaum's 4.1 megapack included for these engines to work properly!
So far that I am aware of at this moment Kriechbaum has only made certain engines compatible with Convoy, some modified engines that I created in this mod do use some .sui files that are compatible with Convoy, to indicate certain engines that are compatible with convoy look for (- Convoy Compatible) down below!
Cummins:
- 444 series (550hp - 600hp) - Convoy Compatible
- M11 (600hp)
- N14 (630hp) - Convoy Conpatible of Kriechbaum sound mod v4.2
- X15 (630hp) - Convoy Compatible
- ISX15 (630hp)
Caterpillar:
- C15 (630hp - 800hp - 1000hp and 2000hp) - Convoy Compatible
- 3406 (600hp) - Convoy Compatible
- 3408 (550hp - 600hp) - Convoy Compatible
Detroit Diesel:
- DD60s (600hp - 630hp)
- DD16 (600hp) - Convoy Compatible of Kriechbaum sound mod v4.2
- 8v92 (500hp - 550hp, 800hp) - Convoy Compatible (for crossover support 430hp, 450hp, 500hp, 550hp, 800hp)
- 12v71 (730hp) - Convoy Compatible
Paccar:
- Mack MP8 (600hp) <<< The Mack MP8 only supports the SCS Mack Anthem for now...
And two additional custom engines using Zee's .sui files for both the N14 and 3406!
These two engines are just custom specs, but some other trucks require the .sui file since Zee doesn't support certain trucks that I support!
Cummins N14 and Caterpillar 3406 by Zee: (Specs only, not using his sound banks but I am using his .sui file but only for certain trucks he doesn't support that I support)
- N14 (650hp)
- 3406 (600hp)
And 2 new engines included! (Zee sounds, but custom specs)
- N14 (1000hp)
- 3406 (800hp)
(Warning most of the engines I create are not fuel efficient)
(Note: If there are any, I mean any, any accessory conflicts with any of my engines/transmissions, please let me know, either by posting a comment on the scs forum page of my post, and I will find a way to fix that issue in the near future.)
This mod supports a lot of trucks!
Including trucks that Kriechbaum, Fury6 and Zee don't support!
If you want a certain truck supported for my mod that I have been developing for quite a long time now, please let me know down below! But please a truck ID (for example "kenworth.w900")
Here are the trucks that I support myself!
Note: if a certain truck has the same truck ID and they both work together that's good! But if you experience a game issue such as a game error in the game logs or even a possible game crash you will have to report it for me with some game logs that occurred during the event when the game crashed after you were just doing something with my mod!
Without a clear reasonable answer of why your game would crash randomly without providing any game log isn't going to really help me that much rather than just saying "the mod doesn't work, it made my game crash, don't use it..." no that doesn't help me whatsoever... you have to be clear of what you were doing with some additional game log if possible...
