I have a 2022, 5700 with the DD15 and DT12. It’s awesome. Yes I’m very proficient at shifting manually but this is better in every way.

This was so helpful. We've had ours 2 weeks and the Automatic is so different but figuring it out. And having the cruise set with the Jake sure was nice taking a load of explosives down the mountain under total control. Never had to hit my service brake once!

It would be ONLY with an 18 speed MANUAL!!

The same shift, steering wheel and gear have I in my Mercedes Truck Antos 2018

How does this work in ice and snow in negative temps? I wonder why they don’t use these in Alaska’s roads or Northern canda. Seems great for LA traffic or New York City. But I see these guys with automatics have all kinds of issues in the snow and ice in Wyoming. Throw super single tires and they usually just park in bad weather.

I’ve driven this Detroit set up and it’s the best GD setup you could ask for no lag what so ever power is amazing. I would throw my Manuel In the garbage for this

Do these trucks come in a manual version?

Can you get a Cummings instead of the Detroit engine

I have this transmission in my 2018 Cascadia and can tell you that if I were to do it all over again I would definitely go with the Eaton. It takes too long to shift, and the air actuated shifting sound is really annoying.

@truckerron

5 жыл бұрын

Yes it can though you now have to special order it.

The creep mode needs more torque. Its okay in flat surface but when you hit a tiny bump it stops because it doesnt have enough torque to move the truck. Eaton endurant creep mode gots tons fo torque.

Can a custom transmission be selected?

For all the Auto haters in here. Automatics are getting hard to compete with these days. First it happened in passenger vehicles and Its happening with big trucks too. Autos are more efficient than a human will ever be with less effort to the operator. Also human error gets taken out of the equation. Heck even race cars are faster as automatics. Way of the future. I'm also going to add my truck is an 18 speed manual and that's all I've ever driven. All the billy big rigs need to get with the times.

No it’s not the automatics it’s the 2 week cdl “schools”. The automatic trans trucks stop faster, get better fuel economy etc. I banged gears for 13 yrs, spent 3 in an auto and love it. Sure it don’t feel as cool but hill descent is fucking awesome. The real problem is companies disable manual mode which in winter or rain is a problem.
