[@TrailTrackers]

This is one of the absolute most informative videos I've seen in a long, long time. Great job. And thanks.

[@JB-gw7mv]

The true difference between the 2 is the Eaton has an actual manual transmission that clutches and shifts by itself depending on RPM and road speed, the Allison is a true automatic transmission like in your car or suv. Great video by the way, very informative! 👍

[@swf2e]

One thing to take a look at with the Allison pulling when “stopped” is their RELS system with the FuelSense setup. It will put the transmission in a partial neutral as long as the brake is applied and then once you release the brake it goes back into driving gear. That may be a setting they can turn on for you.

[@dankohnen1676]

Regarding the allison that wants to keep driving at idle...the fix to that problem is to lower your engine idle rpm...down to about 600 is what we found seems to work the best...looks like it was idling at 700 in the video...give that a try you will be much happier

[@Mopar21277]

The hot thing in Tri-Axles up here in Upstate NY is the Allison 4700 RDS, which has 7-speeds and supposedly a deep reverse, where you actually have to give it throttle to go in reverse.

[@bryan70546]

Allison blows away all the other automatics and are tough as nails.

[@BeingMe23]

So true! I drive a 2015 Mack with one.

[@EM6285]

Allison is the only true automatic transmission (Torque Converter) just until now because ZF Transmissions will bring their Powerline 8 automatic transmission to the market soon. All the automated-manuals are just your typical multi-gear manual transmissions just now controlled by computers, electronics and solenoids...

[@CTSCAPER]

I have an Allison AT545 in my '92 4700. When I stop at traffic lights she wants to go too. All the loose plastic inside the truck rattles. I only have 4 speeds, no overdrive, and I get around 9 mpg in a 24k GVW truck. Being the last generation, or possibly two generations ago my truck likes to be around 2200 rpm. I can't believe you were doing 70 mph at 1500 rpm. That's crazy! My truck is underpowered with a DT360 but it gets the job done every day with few breakdowns compared to a k3500 or F350 cab and chassis. Big hills take me down to 15-20 mph fully loaded but she makes it EVERY time with no complaints. I've never driven a heavy truck like yours and that Eaton sounds interesting. My truck is up to 265k and the Allison has never given a hassle, besides a leak where the shifter cable goes into the transmission. I love the fact that driving my medium-duty truck is like driving a car even if she is a bit of a dog. I couldn't imagine dealing with shifting all day. That would suck. It might be fun for an hour or two but not all day. The Allison I have is built like a tank, like my I4700 truck, and is very faithful. I'd have a hard time jumping ship on Allison because they're idiotproof. Simpler is better in my book. I get so much of what you're saying about the Eaton, especially watching how many speeds you have available and that option for when the truck is loaded or light. That's going to save money and make the ride more comfortable/fun. It would be a hoot to drive either of those trucks for an hour or two. That's about as heavy-duty as you can get with cold ac and a quiet comfortable cab. I hope your drivers appreciate how nice they have it.

[@callofdutyguy9]

My favorite trucks. The 4700 cab and hood and headlights. Good looking truck, my favorite engine engines are the old DT466 and T444e

[@evil1656]

Well, ya gotta compare apples to apples. The Eaton is basically an automated Roadranger. The equivalent in Allison would be the TC10 (available in 18 speed), which they generally don't stuff into a dump truck. You probably have a 4000 series WT. That being said, we run Transynd in all of our Allisons (WT1000, 2000, 3000) and see zero issues, and our service intervals are at about 160,000km (filter and fluid change).

[@chiefkeyes5359]

Indeed, Allison TC10 would definitely outperform and eaton imo and it's definitely more comparable to the 18 speed automated

[@justinmoffett2385]

There are other options for oil. As long as you use an allison approved oil the warranty will be fine. They have a list of approved oils from other manufacturers on there site. We run fleetrite brand in ours. It's a little cheaper than the trans snyd and won't void the warranty.

[@mikemotteberg3527]

I spend a lot of time working under a grinder, I have a manual transmission 8LL with 4.33 Rear end Ratio, Most of the time it's not slow enough. I would love to have an Allison automatic.

[@rudyjanes2530]

It's amazing under the grinder

[@Robert-po8jn]

The Eaton is not a true automatic it is a automated manual that is why it shifts slow like a manual.

[@mannyzx1]

Fantastic video. I knew from the intro it was going to be a good one. I wasn’t disappointed.

[@BlakeMerckleTrucking]

Nothing better to do on a cold rainy day like today might as well rewatch some of these videos lol

[@TheGleanerl2]

I don't understand why they haven't put power shift transmissions in big trucks like they have in tractors. Obviously they can handle the torque same with an ivt transmission. You'd also still have a clutch pedal like we do in big tractors. And you could have a shifting lever with a power shifter just like the tractors have. The way some have described the Easton ultrashift it sounds like a power shift

[@2vgod460]

We run dump trucks in Canada and have 4 autos 2020 t800s and 2020 Pete two with Alison two with Easton and the new tc10 Allison is By far more superior to then eats and no issues at all Easton’s have been in the shop numerous times for issues with programming getting stuck in gear ext ext, the new Allison also has a added extra gears in reverse since it was backing up two fast.

[@ryankanno2562]

Awesome video! Thank you for making this! Favorite quote: “if you f*** that trans cooler up, you’re royally f***ed.” Haha!!

[@russellhopperton1907]

I’ll stick with the 8LL.

[@brianzaborowski2724]

Or better yet, a 13 or 18. IMO automatics have no business being in a big truck. If you can't drive a manual, you don't belong behind the wheel and are nothing but a steering wheel holder, not a driver. Unless you've been driving a manual all your life and lost a limb and can no longer drive one, then an auto would be ok for that reason. The Allison sucks, I don't care what anyone says. My truck has been in the shop to get my tarp fixed and I've had the displeasure of driving one for 2 days and can't stand it .... what a major POS trans it is .... constantly shifts up/down when not needed and no way to stop it.

[@williamharmon3076]

@@brianzaborowski2724 exactly, I wouldn't even consider buying a truck with a automatic transmission, I want to make the decision which gear to use in any situation not the truck. If you can't drive a stick... then learn!!

[@JameyCampbell_54]

@thronic if the world was ran by people like him we wouldn’t know what a transmission is bc we would still be riding horses. “Fuck your fancy Ford I like my horse” 🙄

[@griankgg]

I've been driving dump trucks for 22 years 8LL, 18 speeds, 13 speeds trans, and 10 speeds and now I got a new kenworth T880 with allisson transmission and let me tell you that I won't be back to manual stick shift anymore, I am working now more confortable and when the ground is too soft I just put the gears manual and I am who change the gears when the truck need it, normal driving I just use Driving mode and about braking it is amazing how the gears take off by themself when you set the engine brake, very confortable and safe truck.

[@carmiethompson2676]

Justin, you didn't talk about the cost of the Eaton, or anything regarding its cost of upkeep. Did Eaton charge you anything for the regional service tech. to reprogram the Ultra? How soon did the tech get to you after you called? How much is the clutch replacement? You also didn't talk about how each tranny handles starting on a grade. Depending on your location, do you have difficult winters & do you use your trucks in the winter?

[@carlwilliams8354]

Good job explaining the difference of the 2 transmissions from an owner and drivers point of view. You are right about the 8LL trans. It’s fine off-road or on a site truck but the wide gaps in ratios suck for highway driving. I never understood why some many dump trucks run them. 18 sp is the most versatile.

[@trkr88]

“F” ing good job dude. Very informative, helped a lot. Sounds like me at the end. “Gotta buy a bumper. F!” Lol

[@lamontlewis8703]

But the Allison not having a true Neutral really helps the jake brakes and allow the truck to come to complete stop a lot quicker a neutral would automatically disengage The jake brake And increase breaking distance which is always a big big negative

[@terryf3434]

Great video! I almost got the Allison when I ordered my Pete 7 axle. But the upfront cost and repair cost compared to Eaton Autoshift (Was the only Eaton automated manual at the time) Vs 18 speed manual made my choice easy. From watching your video the Eaton Ultrashift is so far advanced of the Eaton Autoshift it is without a doubt much better transmission. Good Luck and Keep On Truckin

[@KeepingitAnalog]

Very nice video. And I really like the idea of the Eaton. A little high on the shift points for me. I have the Allison in my motorcoach, it works great for that. Thanks for sharing!

[@RCPropaganda]

18spd is best if you can drive it and are only one driving your truck. As far as hired drivers autos are great because good drivers are hard to find these days.

[@franciscozorio3060]

I totally agree with what you're saying, I've been driving Allison's for 6 years now ,and the lack of power delivery between 3rd and 4th gears and also the throwing you out of gear on the 6th gear is very annoying, is about time Allison fix that they're charging a premium price to us ,right?

[@sergiolopezobregon2657]

Thanks for the video. Really a good explain about diferentes automatic transmisión. Here in Europe the most are ya automatics like ultra shift. Congrats from Teruel Spain 👍

[@FW190D9]

Ultra shifts tend to jump when reversing into a dock, the way the clutch gets applied. Great Video

[@ozzyo6733]

With the eaton once the truck senses any pressure in the brake line it throws it in neutral or down shifts, it also has a clutch unlike the Allison which is like an automatic in your car with a torque converter and your right, it's never in neutral unless you press n.

[@choward988]

I’m thinking of buying a International 7600 dump truck with a C10 cat engine and a Eaton Ultra Shift transmission. Can you tell me how well does the Ultra shift transmissions perform off road? A lot of times when getting loaded in these dirt pits the ground is very soft and these transmissions have to be strong enough to get that dump truck out of the way after getting loaded. I see a lot of drivers bogg down in the dirt pits and going uphill. Can the ultra shift perform in that kind of situation? This will be my first truck and I would greatly appreciate your thoughts?

[@omarh4694]

Brilliant, not like the annoying air actuated rough shifting eatons, but are these reliable? Do they require expensive maintenance @ 500k??

[@heretodaygone2morrowrving231]

I have a 2015 pete 579 with the eaton automated. I set it up to tow my camper. Issue I have is that when I take off from a dead stop it so slow until I get up to 6 gear. I wish it shifted faster and quicker off the line like my ram 3500. Would the allison be a better option ? Cars behind me usually pas me cus I take off so slow.

[@johndonovan7018]

nice vid. the allison does have a neutral. you have to shift it into neutral. otherwise the clutches will want to grab when in gear. they are way more aggro than those of a car so the pull is strong yes. if they come up with 8 or 9 gear model, i bet you these will be the new hotness for OTR

[@dackerson5]

With these Ultra Shift transmissions..... would your gears ratios be the same as if it was an actually 18 speed stick? Would it be the same truck as far as speed and pulling? Except it shifting for you

[@jnk26]

Ultrashifts are the automated versions of the manuals. Personally in my experience I can't stand them. I own an I shift and it does the same job for less fuel compared to the paccar mx13 with 13/18 spd ultra shift or not. My truck is pulling 140k on 6 axle pneumatic trailers

[@mikecioka1180]

This is better than having to do it manually. I think this is the future as you can focus more on your driving than having to shift gears

[@tomster7574]

manuals are best for adverse situations. autos just cant do it. autos make drivers lazy and stupid in the same way smart phones make you forget phone numbers if they are all on auto dial. ive driven them both. i like my auto car but prefer my manual truck. auto trucks dont shift when i want to and i can control the power range its to be in. auto trucks seem to be slower and take longer to shift. maybe its just me, i got 20 plus years at it. i can skip gears much easier, i can shift faster and slower when i want to. plus it costs so much more in buying the auto and maintaining it than you can ever save on fuel. if you know how to drive and enjoy it, you prefer manual. just like most people who drive cars for sport, on or off road, want manual. if you want to cruise, auto is the way to go. shouldnt be cruising at work. but its more than that, its knowing the job to get it done better. i couldnt believe how much slower a brand new auto semi was compared to the old manuals i was driving. the autos are ok at best and even then i still had to hit the shift down button when i wanted to pass. i didnt see that on yours, the mack ive been driving has it on the dash. dont like having to reach up there to shift. would prefer is like yous if it had shifting on it still. ive driven both and i still prefer manual even in stop and go traffic cuz thats just a small part of the job. if you need to be aggressive, auto is just going to slow you down. i can change gears faster, safer and more efficiently than any auto, so far. if the tech catches up, maybe. but even in 2020 now, they still dont have what it takes. but then i get in my auto car and go home. one other thing about manual on the stick is i dont have to look at my dash when im in the yard and wiggling into a tight spot. a stick shift is like brail, i dont need to look and i can keep my eyes on where im going and what im doing. i see a big problem is just like cars. my wife cant drive my manual transmission car but i can drive her auto car. if you ever have to jump into a manual truck, you are out of luck. when it comes to hiring and you can drive manual, of course you can drive auto also. but if you only drive auto, can you drive that manual if you needed to or is it going to grind work to a halt until someone can do it for you?

[@EM6285]

New ALLISON AUTOMATICS go to full neutral when at a full STOP, then shift to the proper geat when taking-off.

[@jessesager9460]

This is the best, most informative video I’ve seen so far on the Ultrashift. We have them in our fleet at work, but the garage guys aren’t very savvy with all the settings and options when I complain how sluggish the thing is.

The automatic does not have a clutch, the auto shift has a clutch.

[@7425kevin]

this is a Eaton endurant trans the ultra shift still has a clutch and both are automated! Automatic transmissions have a torque converter which will put more torque to the ground at idle, nice for soft soil!

[@markvaars37]

I have a Eaton 10 speed ultrashift and it always starts in 1st gear and the gap between gears is a lot longer. And it don’t skip gears at all. Can a reprogramming fix this?

[@NomadicSociety]

absolutely it will be a whole new truck once you do lol

[@Jon-O.]

I love my manual cummins pickup it’s like a mini tractor shwing lol!

[@Mr.Highway]

Do your auto shifts/automatic transmissions offset maintenance costs over manual transmission? How about fuel saved? Or is that a wash for dump work?

[@shadowthehedgehog4737]

The auto shift IS a manual transmission. It just has pneumatic mechanisms added on to shift it automatically.

[@stoparret]

@@shadowthehedgehog4737 You know that's not what he means...

[@zr1daddy14]

Why didn’t you get the 4700rds? I usually see them on dump trucks due to having 2 reverse and 7 speed forward

[@jasoncook2207]

The 4700RDS has the transfer case built on the transmission from Allison. They are mainly used for off highway and military units.

[@bryantstrickland4478]

The allison acts better with more power.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

You should put General Lee horns on all the trucks! =)

[@10rcoleman]

If u can get it set up like yours that would be good the only auto I drove sucked I went back to a stick but if I had yours that would be the only way to go!

[@rr38690]

Great video!! What final drive gear ratio do you run Eaton vs Allison?

[@narinder986]

hey bud I have got eaton ultra-shift 10 speed . it shifts pretty hard from 7th to 9th gear. what could be the problem.

[@joseviera2563]

Very good video Justin, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lokyr00]

I hate how the Allison in my Mack pushes me at red lights. Sometimes I'll just put it in neutral. Ours are also limited to like 5mph in reverse...so slow lol. Like you said they do well offroad though. I think the new trucks will have the Mack (Volvo) mDrive 12 speed.

[@prevost8686]

ZF has the Astronic which is their version of the Eaton. Biggest pile of hot shit ever made. I’ll take an Allison anytime.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video justin

[@DonsATVAdventures]

very informative video ! What are your thoughts on a Allison automatic when pulling a pup or tag trailer behind a dumptruck grossing out at 139000 pounds ?

[@bethanyrl9989]

Did you ever find out about that? It is what I want to do

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

Get the 4700, it’s the 7 speed,l. If you have the proper horsepower and torque, it will work good, along with the right axle ratio.

[@greggkunkle8539]

​@B we have a mack granite triaxle with the allison. We used it for plowing, normal dump operations, paving/milling as well as pulling a tag trailer with our dozer or excavators and it worked perfectly. We didn't pull the weight you put in, but was 80k. It always worked flawlessly. Only problem we ever had was a cooler line ruptured.

[@anthonyguyton8258]

I'm knot crazy about automatic transmissions Allison transmission like to take off at lights you have to put it in neutral 😐 been driving a kw with a Eaton its OK I want to go back to a stick
