Question on SP's

[Gregory OConnor]

Dave, I like the 36sp as well as the ZF trans. The shops that work
on the trans include all the BB schoolbus shops. The prob with the
allison shops is that some are just light duty allison shops but they
will poke their nose in the big trannies for a look without knowing
what they are doing. The best thing is the length with a trailer. In
California my pt40 limits me to a 20 foot trailer (plus 5' tounge),
and I can not visit many stateparks due to length limits. I dont
like Cat but I have several 3208's in dumptrucks with over 300,000
miles.
