    Oh, ok. I never drove truck with automatic transmission, but I did and still drive best small car transmissions: DSG on VW, and now CVT on Audi. ;)
    From what I heared about volvo's iShift and current Fuller's UltraShiftPlus those are great products.

    I pull tankers and when you are loaded starting from a stop your load is sloshing front to back which its sometimes pulling you back and sometimes pushing you forward. Its very easy to grind, especially in low range. And I drive 10 sp Eaton's and 13 sp maxitourques different shift patterns different days doesn't help lol

    I know right!

    It's that 'aw crap' feeling when making that first shift. Always happens to me when rolling through the up and down hills in Southern Oregon on I-5.
