Looking at truck chassis specs is enough to confuse this newbie. Maybe the experienced folks out there can answer some general engine/transmission questions. (We'll save the suspension, brakes, etc for other topics.)
For comparable HP and torque ratings, is:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI> A Caterpillar engine more expensive than a Mercedes engine?
<LI> An Allison 6-speed automatic transmission more expensive than a Meritor ZF 12-speed automated transmission? [/list]

Alan
