    Listen my friend, the engine computer must be edited with ddct 4.5 and you will have perfect shifting points....

    Have Freightliner Cascadia 2009 with 2 pedal Eaton automatic.
    For the last month was tired of those sensors and was towed twice.
    Count approximately repair of exist and choose to change for manual.
    Found guy, he said that it's not a problem to change. Will see result on next week.
    Never will buy again truck with automatic transmission , salt, water and you have problem . Even driving is not smooth...

    Why would you do that with all the potential troubles associated with the Eaton Auto Junk shift? Just ended my nightmare by converted back to manual.
    A question for others. I lost the cruise control after the conversion. Any ideas about proper wiring for it with the manual? The high idle function still works so must be a dropped connection associated with a speed sensor?

    Check brake pedal or clutch pedal switch, cruise will not operate if it shows on or activated.
