Not related to today's topics,when the237 Maxidyne came out in the 60's with the 5 speed triple countershaft transmission overdrive magazine along with mack did a road test comparison of two identical r models same load,trailer, and two similarly experienced drivers. One mack had the Maxine and the other had a 250 Cummins 10 speed r.r. the maxidyne, did better on the hills and the 10speed did better on the flat if I recall correctly.I used to haul steel outta Pgh. With an r model maxidyne,it pulled real well for a little engine! Forcing yourself to let it drop to1200 before shifting was a stretch after driving detroit,Cummins,and mack with r.r and compounds! Thought I would bore some of you younger drivers with that,some older dudes might remember the article.
