What truck to get???? Grrrrrr.....

Thank you for your response!
I got to drive a few types of trannies extensively as a Validation test driver for class 8's

I considered automated manuals (air shift) AMT's and I don't prefer the way they operate for very slow- precision- manuvering, especially in tight areas or on slopes and city traffic. It kind of seems to be an "all or nothing" clutch engagement often having to give lots of accelerator for backing up ramps resulting in slamming into the dock.

I really liked the Allison as it is a "true" AT that uses a torque converter. I prefer this for the type of driving I expect to be doing and Is much smoother. The TC allows much higher/ variable gear ratio as well.

 

I have not. The price range of the trucks I'm considering would not have the newer updated trannies or software/ computers to go with it (emisions)

Allison is the "best" In my years and price range.

 

ill re visit what is available in my price range, I was not aware of the electrical availability! thanks!
