    I don't think a new guy would ever get wheels like that unless you have money and can buy your own. I do have to admit, at least you know what a real truck is. 389 or w900.

    Theyre all straight 10 and automatics.You want more power try a construction company.Two companies I drove for were 13 speeds.Besides for general freight you don't need more gears and most companies have beautiful equipment.

    Differences between these two transmissions that I know are the fact that 18's are used for more heavy payload applications. They provide more gears to get up to speed with shorter RPM throws which in turn puts less wear/tear and stress on the transmission, engine and drive line. 13's are used for more on highway trucks. Other then that, I don't know other differences.

    Not to me.

    I like western stars, macks and autocars

    The most comfortable to me is a ws, big solid and quiet.
