Well, they put a data logger on the trucks of a bunch of guys like you and studied how they shifted over millions of miles. Then they built a transmission that did exactly that every time, no matter what.
Computers are great at repetition. They don’t get tired, they don’t get a gear in partway and chip a tooth, etc.
What a joke this statement is. They derate or leave you stranded is what they do. Just learn to shift
sand85 - 12/11/2018 06:56Can you shift better than a computer for a long while? Sure. Can you, with experience, see the terrain in front of your truck and choose your gears more carefully for optimum power than the computer? Sure.
Absolutely. How many 1.2 million mile autos are there with zero unplanned downtime?
sand85 - 12/11/2018 06:56But fleets aren’t going this way for fun. .
They are going to autos so they can put anyone in a truck. A computer cannot outshift a competent driver period. If you think it can, then buy a 2018 auto shift and tell me where that computer is in 30 yrs.
