My husband said it was the Eaton Fuller 10 speed transmission.
He really liked it, in Texas, Nevada and Kansas late at night (03:00 am) he could be in high 10 and cruise at 85 MPH with a fully loaded 53 ft trailer. (No Speed Governor) on the Cummins, He thinks it was the Cummins ISX15 engine, Peterbilt did all our maintenance because of their Great Warranty on their tractor.
On the interstates and freeways he could shift on the fly (in his words) and not grind a gear.
We miss our truck, but the cost of the different licenses to haul all products and insurance and registration and the diesel prices was just to much to make good money. Fill up two 103 gallon tanks and travel 1000 or so miles is not good at $2.85 a gallon (price at the time roughly).
I once did a 4 day trip across Sweden in a lorry with a fuller gear box ( did the trip for a friend who wanted time with his wife,since I was on holidays from my teaching job I said ok ) Any way I know that all fuller gear boxes are made in hell, but this gear box was not only made in hell but made to Satan's own special specifications.
NEVER AGAIN
