There is another more important reason for your wife to drive it. She may have to one day. What if you have some kind of medical issue while away from home on a trip? Maybe you sprained your left ankle. Minor but more than enough to make the clutch a sworn enemy. i have always had a policy...

I can't help you here. I haven't driven a Super 10 in 14 years. When I did the highest mile truck had under 350k on it. when I became a trainer I got a new truck. 10.6 miles new. Everything I've got access to is full auto. Either automotive or Allison.

I am a huge fan of the super 10. The ONLY reason there isn't one in my pickup is because it weighs 800lbs. I'm not kidding, it was an Eaton rep that pointed out the weight issue when I mentioned it at the show in Louisville a few years ago. I absolutely will not touch an Autoshift. There are two...

Some were good. Some very good. Others not so much. I still remember calling the safety department and telling them I wouldn't trust one of them with a Ford Ranger never mind a semi. He was still in 8th and still going 35 mph IN the toll booth lane. No such thing as electronic tolling then. At...

Why in the world would you get a re gear quote from a dealership? There are junkyards for trucks too. How much it costs depends entirely on what axle you have, what ratio you want and how common it is. Re gearing itself is easy. pull the axle shafts on each side (access by removing bolts on...

When I got my CDL the company i worked for was all super 10. 6 months later I said something REALLY stupid. "Sure I'll be a trainer".....

There is an error in how you were told to shift your Super 10. When making a button shift there is no need to move the lever in and out of the hole. Just lift your foot off the pedal. You can preselect the shift too. In other words shift into 9th for example and then as soon as you are...

The generator hadn't been run at this show. The truck had been plugged in but the engine was running as they did final is everything put away checks. Then when the driver started going through the gears, slight haze out of all 4 stacks. The pusher axle does steer. Just like an Ohio dump truck...

Thats the one. Before he put the graphics on it. I think I like the plain version better. I once waited an extra hour after a truckshow just to watch that beastie turn a corner. I wanted to see if it could. Turns out it can. It will take up every square inch of the intersection doing it but it...

Thats easy-you don't see them with tractors that long. I only quoted STAA which has no overall length limit so you could therefore use any length of tractor. While there are 52' trailers only a relative handful exist. No such creature as a 54' trailer. The 53' trailers that you see do not...

Twin screw nothing, theres a transfer case in that MAN. Thats a 6x6. Almost everything Unicat does is all wheel drive. These are designed to go around the world-literally.

The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 allows a 48' trailer with no overall length limit. In other words if you could figure out how its perfectly legal to pull a 48' trailer with a greyhound bus-but it has to be registered as a truck tractor.
