Daimler Truck sells and supports Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Fuso and Freightliner vehicles, however its remanufactured Eaton transmission bundle offer is not limited to those vehicles.
Here’s why choosing a remanufactured Eaton transmission makes a lot of sense.
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Eaton has made the transmission in the first place, so who better to give it a new lease of life?
The process sees Eaton remanufacture the transmission to its stringent specifications using 100 per cent genuine parts. Customers will also benefit from the same quality, content and design updates of a brand new, genuine Eaton transmission.
Eaton offers a like-for-like model replacement for a specific torque rating and shift bar configuration. The PS-368 transmission oil that comes with the package is a premium product that recently excelled in an industry gear wear test that simulated 400,000km of operation.
The test revealed that a gear set using PS-368 showed four-times less wear than one that used standard mineral oil.
When purchased as a bundle and installed by an Eaton approved OEM supplier, Eaton remanufactured transmissions come with warranties that range from one-year or 150,000km up to two years or 500,000km depending on the duty cycle of the truck.
If fitted by a non-Eaton-approved OEM supplier, a one-year unlimited kilometre warranty applies.
Daimler Truck is no stranger to Eaton manual transmissions and currently offers them in its fuel efficient Freightliner Cascadia 116 and 126 models. It is a well-suited partner for the Detroit 13L and 16L engines.
Most Cascadias are sold with the DT12 fully automated manual transmission, which can coast in neutral to save fuel while maintaining a constant speed – however some truck drivers just prefer a manual transmission.
One fleet operator running in country New South Wales said that some drivers were happy to use the DT12 AMT, while others just loved being able to change their gears. It made sense for this customer to buy some Cascadias with AMT and some with the Eaton manual transmission, and everyone has been thrilled with the outcome. The end result is a super-modern truck with all the technology to keep the driver comfortable, with a full suite of active safety features and a manual gearbox which works perfectly in the hands of an experienced operator.
