It would be nice to know what rpm it’s at when cruising at 65 and 70 mph. 1200, 1300, 1400? I have a Eaton smart shift 10 with 2.64 gears and it pulls 1450 at 65 mph.
thanks for this vid. sweet truck ! but question-im looking to buy a dump truck with 3.90 rears and a third gen no petal autoshift 2008 model .can i creep with that do you think its very important in my work or do i really need this generation of autoshift PLUS ? do u know that answer please let me know and thanks!
I'm not sure when the "creep mode" function came out, but it is an option that needs to be ordered with the transmission. I'm also not sure if that can be programmed in later. The 2008 ultra-shift isn't recommended for city driving, only highway. The auto-shift which has the cluck petal to start and stop the truck is recommended for city and construction use.
Their basically the same weight, one has a stick coming out of the top and the other has some small servo's on top of the transmission. The transmission internals and body are the same. The utra-shift still has a clutch, but the computer pushes it in and out. An Allison 3000 transmission is lighter by aprox. 300 lbs. but rated for 370hp or less.
