I do mean the interaxle shaft, but why I mention wear is that we pull more weight (93,000-110,000Lbs, depending on trailer configuration) in such steep hills that spreading the torque required over two drive axles makes for much better traction, and reduced wear on the drive axles. Basically, half as much torque per axle. Our roads are rough enough that most folks run 40k-46k axles, even if they are running light, because 36k setups "work loose" in short order. What does it have in the way of jakes/retarders? Not trying to pick on your truck, I get a kick out of how different a "good" truck is in different parts of the country. My old boss tried an eaton autoshift up here, and it could not downshift fast enough for our loads on our hills, did not work well at all. But that is hauling 110,000Lbs on a 5 axle high-deck on a 12% grade.
