Forgive me for being blunt, but if you own a truck and don't know this, then you really have no business owning a truck.

Pay attention, because this is also how you check your Transmission Fluid level.

The only transmission you can get in a Volvo with a Cummins ISX is an Eaton-Fuller transmission - doesn't matter if it's a manual or a SmartShift - they both use the same gearbox.

Get under the truck. As low as the fairings on these sit, you might have to take the side skirts off to do this. On the left hand side of the transmission, there's a plug in which you insert the head of a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar... remove that, then stick your finger in the hole. If you see fluid coming out of the hole immediately or you feel it at the bottom of that hole, you have enough transmission fluid (which, for an Eaton Fuller transmission for that year, it should be 50W synthetic). If not, you add it until you reach the bottom of the fill hole.

Volvo semis are available with the I-shift (which I have no personal experience with, but it tends to get good reviews) only with the Volvo D13 or D16 engine. It is possible to get the Eaton Autoshift and Cummins combination, as well. Not sure if the Allison TC10 is available for these... I'm a bit doubtful of it.
