    yes to disc except in the lift axle as you can’t get them

    the Allison in 7th gear is 0.63 - so that allowed me to go very deep in the gears but the auxiliary will allow me big roads speed empty in the overdrive gear.

    I drive slow as everyone knows - so pulling is most important for me

    it will be a learning curve but I think it the best solution to what I am looking to do

    How does the aux transmission work with the Allison? Are you limited to 1 range or can it shift on the fly?

    Not following the question

    the super low first and the super low reverse gears must be locked in from a stop but they seemed very usable today

    plus I can go to either of 2 underdrives in the auxiliary trans

    should be able to get going on the very steep grades even heavy (for me)

    that is why I went to the Allison - plus now I won’t miss any shifts - mostly

    Ethically non monogamous is the same as an open relationship. In contrast to Cheating which is unethically non monogamous.

    so I was unclear on the process when I ordered it but was told it worked.

    so here is how I did it today - set the range in the auxiliary then put the main in D (yes that sounds retarded even to me) then take off

    to change ranges - pre-select the range (up or down) - then let off the accelerator and the aux will change ranges just as it with my 18spd in front of the auxiliary.

    don’t let the main box change gears when doing the range change (it won’t find a range and you will have to stop)

    I will likely lock the gear before changing ranges when loaded but bobtail the above worked

    run that again after multiplying the 0.64 by 0.74 (the overdrive in aux) and check the road speed....if you are so inclined

    Then he's doing it wrong. The couple's that do it right usually set up initial screening dates so both of them agree on the extra. Or one actively brings in the extra for his or her partner. Some people love their partner with no concept of possession or jealousy and really enjoy the fun they create for their mate. That's not until they're over 40 usually. The younger ones are just drama addicts.

    Other people are into ownership, control, hierarchy and jealousy. It takes all kinds. But we should refrain from putting others into whatever boxes we ourselves live in....

    I’ll have to dig deeper to calculate the double OD?
