Lorries with 13-speed Fuller Roadranger 'boxes

Horses for courses, I’ve got two Peterbilts with an 18spd Fuller, one with a CAT and the other the Paccar (Daf) engine, the CAT, which I drive is a big lazy engine, lots of time to change and it’s hard to make a balls up of it. The Paccar on the other hand is more frantic and requires either a very fast shift, or to be fed in on a rising throttle, the latter being the easier of the two to avoid playing tunes, but the former gives a cleaner shift, as long as you are quick enough.

I’ve driven quite a few lorries with Fuller boxes, Berliet, Daf, ERF, Freightliner, Ford, Hino, IVECO, Kenworth, Leyland, MAN, ,Peterbilt, Seddon Atkinson, 9spds, 13spds, 18spds and twin splitters, no two were alike, some were good installations, some were awful, some suited the engine, others did not. The best of the bunch by far is the CAT/18spd combo, the worst was the Hino/twin splitter which had a linkage made from what felt like elastic bands.
