Tom,
I have a 2009 with the Cat-ZF tranny combo.
Cat had some issues with their Acert engines starting in 2007. But the earlier emgines were bulletproof.
The ZF tranny is a “little different” but very dependable.
Once you drive the ZF you will understand.
It’s a great tranny out on the open road, but a little rough in the lower gears.
Like I said it’s not an Allison, but just different.
Love mine on the open road, it runs circles around most everything.
Hope that helps
Dennis
