    I've been in a lot of trucks over the last 13 years with 7 different companies and never had clutch or transmission problems.

    Any companies still running Spicer sticks? I don’t think any OEMs have allowed you to spec those in 20 years but I bet there has to be a few running around still

    Your truck should have a "manual" or "hold" mode.

    As far as manuals, our crude trucks have 10 speeds and run 70 on the cruise.

    I've had 2 transmissions and 2 clutches. In 19 years. 2 of those trucks were already gone when I got em. The other 2 were shortly after.
