Subject: Meritor Freedomline Trans?


Looking at a 2002 pete 379 has 475 cat and a ZFMeritor freedonline 16 spd trans. Seems neat to drive all automatic shift, has manual and auto mode. No clutch pedal at all just touch the brakes to stop. The truck has about 540,000 miles on it. Question is, is this the answer to, clutch brakes, clutch and diff failures due to driver abuse or inexperience? What is the life expectancy and cost of repair on these? Application is body job 21' silage body, so on/off road soft fields and heavy loads with lots of shifting.
Last thing, ATC (automatic traction control) how does it work and is suitable replacment for full locking diffs? TIA

Chris
