Love watching Ron Pratt Midwest Truck!!

It’s fun seeing the fruits of my labor

As a guy the generally prefers the standard transmission, this definitely looks like the game changer. I must agree with several of the guys there. Don't remember which guy there said it, but I can generally shift a standard trans as smoothly as an auto can shift itself.

Fantastic video guys, great to see Ron outside of his channel! 💪⛓🪝

Good to see western market finally catch up to European market, for me I prefer standard forces me to be a lot more alert.

Nice to hear from Lee Roberts.

That transmission seems badass!!! Watched Ron Pratts video on it. Super impressive!!!

I’m retired now, but worked on Eton gearboxes since the 1970’s, they are still popular in the UK, ZF probably have the largest part of the UK market at the present time. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Heck, even Ron’s son Ethan got in on this when he got to try out this transmission too, with supervision of course

They need to do some testing with a loaded smooth bore tanker. Much improvement is needed.

This was the same cause Ron Pratt did a video on

I saw when Ron Pratt posted his own videos of his experience and he backed up the one truck at what looked like 20+ MPH, which would be helpful for reaching the scene of a major highway incident. In this video Jeff Poquette from Southside Wrecker says "Automatics Only endorsement" at the 5 minute mark. What he metioned is actually a DMV License restriction as it states the driver is not allowed to drive a vehicle with a manual trasmission.

I prefer the Allison transmission.

One question: how reliable are they?

I don’t think about it. For any driver worth a crap, it just comes naturally like riding a bike. 06:45

i bet by the 25k miles those trucks had been towed 2 to 3 times,,,,,,,,

Mr where do you live

That transmission sucks to work on. Automatics don't belong in semis
