More Eaton problems. When I was shopping for a truck I had 3 mechanics tell me to stay away from them. Maybe some day they will figure it out. Allison is the only way to go if you want an automatic.

The Volvo I-shift has a pretty good reputation. You just have to want the truck that goes with it.  I tried really hard to get my hands on a Mack with an M drive, but couldn't justify an extra $10k for a truck that wasn't in as good shape as the Volvo I ended up with.
