    engines

    WOW!! I just read the current and archived posts on cummins vs cat. If you believe the posts, the cat 3126 is a piece of junk and you will be lucky if the engine makes it to 300,000 miles.It is a throw away engine as it can't be rebuilt (but it sure is strange that you can buy a remanufactured...

    transmissions

    2 identical trucks T300KW they have basically the same mileage. One has a Allison 6sp. automatic and the other has a super10 tranny. The truck with the automatic is $6000.00 more. Is it worth the extra money for the automatic? Keep in mind I have drove trucks with 8LL to 18speeds. Although I...
