I really like the class 8 RV concept and have been researching it for about a year. I know that there are 3 basic types of transmission choices in the RV world,
Straight fully manual
Autoshift's
Fully automatic (ie. Allison 4000)
Is there any way to spec. an Automatic in a clas 8 tractor? I know they make'em strong enough, they're in all big diesel MH's, and we gott'em between 500Hp and 50,000 lbs in our firetrucks.
I just think that a volve 610 with an allison 4000 (or similar) and a N-14 with 500Hp would be one sweet rig. Can you order these from any of the big manufactures or do they hafta be retrofitted or can it just not be done at all?
