i know the 379 peterbilt i drive is a 21 speed

[rigjockey423]

@TheTim29 i am curious what gearbox is in it to give you a 21 speed?

[Airbeam]

I don´t know a thing about truck transmission, so, noob question, is that switch to change between ratios or something?

[rigjockey423]

@Airbeam no problem are you talking about the button you can see? if so then it changes the gear box from low to high range and back again. there is a button you can't see which gives each gear a half gear again. thus giving you 18 speeds.hope this helps.

@chuck738 yup you still get them as far as wanting it i guess it would depend on what you are doing with it off highway fore sure heavy haul i mean the 18 is good and has a lot of good points but there are time when deep reduction is the way to go.

[chuck738]

@rigjockey423 You would think,but I don't know if you can still get an 8LL,or why you would want to in a tractor

[rigjockey423]

@chuck738 you would think they would just order them the way they want?
