8 Speed Auto for HD trucks
Apparently, ZF is making an 8 Speed HD trans that can handle 1000 lb-ft. 2020 release date. I see it as the next trans in the Ram 2500 and 3500s. LINK

Now the mfgs are building throwaway trucks? You guys are hilarious!
Couldn’t compare apples to apples if you were holding on in each hand.....
I’ve said it before, I know everyone has a complaint about everything here on geezernet, but have you naysayers compared, honestly, the difference in capability of transmissions from 2 and 3 speed autos to 4 to 5 to 6 to 8/10 speeds?
We can get factory 8 speeds that hold 800hp and 10 speeds that hold over 500hp and 6 speeds that hold 1000ft lbs, all for over 200k easy if maintinaed.
Go do the bestbuild on your 727, or turbo 400, feed it those levels and see if it gets half the miles out of it.
