I had run over a piece of rebar on a job site, it was muddy, the rebar was vertical, it ruined 2 tires, cost me $600.Anyway, I was chatting with another customer.  He had a custom truck, built for oilfield service work.  It had a 9-spd, with a 4-spd range box behind it, and a 2-spd axle.Those Eaton 9-spd trans (indeed, most of the Eaton heavy trans) have a Hi-Lo reverse. Dude had 16 gears, just in reverse.  I've had nightmares about driving that truck.</blockquote>
