Im looking at a 1996 379 peterbilt with 850,000 miles. Took it for a drive today and its a nice riding truck. It all heavy spec with a drop axle. My question for you is that it has a 8 speed transmission. Is this going to be geared too low or too high for me. im use to 18 speeds and I currently run a mack superliner with a 350. I just need a bigger truck due to heavier equipment . What you guys think. the peter built has a cat 3406 in it.
