My wife's tranny went out
After 33k miles
They replaced with a new one

What kind of car?

The first 5-speed Allisons had software problems that made them shift at the wrong time. The last one had a cracked case that was leaking fluid. Starting and stopping a vehicle 160 plus times a day puts a lot of wear and tear on them. Very expensive transmissions by the way, the shop has to get permission to replace them from what I have been told.

The new Freightliners have the "shift inhibit" feature to make sure your foot is on the brake when going from reverse to drive and vice versa.

Also when transmission is replaced I hope they are resetting "shift adapts" which could be reducing longevity of not done.

Plus thethey use cheap parts. Guess they are saving money replacing the same thing over and over.

PC cars with break pads made in China are terrible. They replace quite offten.

what's a Hitch Car?

TP 60 trailer hitch with lights hook up?

TP 60 trailer hitch with lights hook up?

I would assume that. We didn't have any "hitch cars". I did see an old diesel P600 that was made to pull a gas P600. It was actually called a feeder route in North Dakota.

what's a Hitch Car?

Its a P700 package car with a trailer hitch, brakes and wiring for a pup trailer. Our building has about 15 pup trailers and 20-25 hitch cars.

 

[oldngray]

I have seen both P700's and P800's with hitches. Just a few per center.

We used to have one P 1000 equipped to tow a TP 60. Dropped the TP 60 off at a business to fill during the day and unloaded on Twi. Lasted several years but has since been discontinued. A real pain to back the TP 60 to an unload door, unhook, and back the package car to another door to be unloaded, hook it all back up again and back up the TP 60 to park for the night and park the P 1000 to be loaded the next morning. Then have the driver drop off the TP 60 before delivering Air or any stops.

He wasn't carrying concealed, that's for sure.

I saw this at the end of a fifty-foot long driveway yesterday. We have some very lazy competition.
