trans went out, which 1 to replace?

I really appreciate the advice. shop called today & they are putting in a used super 10 at my request. it was rebuilt by them just over 300,000 miles ago. from a long time customer of theirs. the engine went out & he sold it to them. they are parting it out. I am losing $1000,00 every day. so time is the most important to me. plus my dedicated account that I am on, I just started 8 months ago & I am needed. I have had bad luck lately & do not want folks thinking they cannot count on me. what I just found out was the guy at the shop responsible for my trans, lives right next to my dispatcher. so the deal is $1000,00 for the used trans & $300.00 labor. after reading all this info tonight. I am going to talk to him about a 13 speed. I may just well put one in, if they have one, if not. well I just got to get back on the road.

 

I know all too well on the gears & the rpm's. been in this truck for 13 years. always manage over 6.0 m.p.g. at 65 i'll get 6.5 easy. 1 other reason why I am going with the 10 again, besides avail immed, & no modification, is I do not plan on keeping this truck. I mean it is a 95 with over 1.5 mil miles. so I don't want to plan & spend as if I am going to keep it. I know ya might think that after 13 years & over 1.5 mil, that it sounds like I am keeping it but, it all has just been working out great the last 13 years, so I don't fix what ain't broken. from 9th to 10th I have to rev it all the way before shifting to 10 & with my lil 11.1 365 h.p. it ain't easy. I felt so lucky & blessed that while my truck broke down 180 miles away from the shop, I was able to drive it all the way. a tow bill would of taken a good chunk of money I can use for the swap out. you folks on here are the best. thanks for your time.
