Congratulations, that rig looks outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think after you've spent some time with it. I have the DD 515 and Meritor 12 speed in my United Specialties Freightliner conversion and have been impressed so far. I've driven across country including a pass through the smokey mountains and this thing is an animal. I can't believe how well it drives and the Detroit seems up to task with any challenge it faces. So far the Meritor has been flawless and seems like a perfect match to the 515. Go get it and let us know what you think
