I don’t care for automatics in general, but I especially don’t like the Eatons. The ones I’ve driven were really jerky in reverse, they’d start off in 1st gear even empty. I’ve even had them jump out of gear in reverse and would have to stop, go to neutral and back into a reverse.
The only auto that I drove that actually worked pretty much as it should was a DT-12 in a Freightshaker.
Bottom line, I wouldn’t buy any truck with an auto. Just haven’t had good experiences with them.Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -
