There is no "class 8" CDL. There is CDL and one can get combination, doubles/triples, tanker, air brake, and Hazmat, and passenger bus endorsements. Combination and air brakes makes it a Class A CDL. Non combination, i.e. straight truck, with air brakes is a Class B CDL.
And the Eaton Road Ranger transmissions are not automatics. They are auto shift manuals transmissions, or AMT's. No torque converter like a automatic most folks think of. A computer controlled and operated clutch, either by air or electric, but the same manual trans with a stick in other applications. I find it hard to believe that Eaton would go to 750K intervals. They have been on 500K intervals for a long time. The trans fluid hasn't changed. Still a 50w synthetic as it has been for many years now.
