another dumb shifting question: differences between trucks.

If its got tit# or wheels its going to give you trouble.

 

You in an E7 or MP? The 93 with a 9 shifts like butter. On the way home from Texas both me and pops were grinding em, it does not like to be floated and I hate the big hole being up front screws you up even more with that funky shift pattern. took few hundred mi to get er figured out. Swapping it for 13 or 18. I hated the day cab pinnacle's we had in the oilfield, Stick to the pavement and not a 100k pump in the mountains of wv. Front end felt way sloppy with supposedly 13 something on the steers. 445c and 415 really impressed me though compared to the isx15. Those mp's will lug, I'll give volvo the thumbs up on that.

 

I have always been amazed at the lugging power in 9th and 10th gear with those Macks made by Volvo. They just don't quit going up long hills.
