goodbye to heavy truck manual transmissions

[Mike270412]

I agree, this really doesn't make any sense. Manual transmissions are more efficient at moving power from the engine to the driveshaft. Way less moving components, and no clutch packs, pumps, or torque converters with friction or slippage that cause parasitic losses in the transmission.

Of course it doesn't make sense. One of Justine's buddies probably owns Alison.

Me thinks this truck has auto transmission

This was yesterday happened about 3 mins before I got there

And the talk around the lot is he didn’t have a class 1

It's all good. His cousin likely owns the service station.

Then this about 45 kms later

 

[S.W.A.T.]

I swore off auto, but when I was forced into one it isn't bad. I do really enjoy the 18 speed but when just sifting down the hwy the auto drives nice.

Local Natives own the gas station and doo a good job

So this incident doesn’t bode well with the reconciliation process.

I wonder if the Eaton auto shifters classify as an auto. Still an 18 or 15 speed manual but the truck does the shifting for you.

I've ran one truck with it, not that great in the bush, but for pavement driving I can see it being alright.

I'm willing to bet Cameco's fleet of 600hp Western Stars stay manual.

We have 2 tandem grain trucks with 10 speed autos. One with a clutch, one without. I prefer the one with the clutch especially for backing up on uneven ground.
