whoever invented this multi stick system, is a pure stroke of genius. NOT for his invention, but for having been able to get a manufacturer to actually put this into their trucks. Totally insane.
All those extra two sticks do is change the range from high to low and out of direct and into direct. You're not actually moving shift forks with two of them, it’s opening or closing air solenoids. The old two-stick spicer transmissions needed two sticks because there were actually two gearboxes that you needed to shift.
@@Firebird_876 how many two stick trucks have you driven. A few are 2 shifts, a few are 3 shifts but, most are 4 shift and are either double under drive or double overdrive
it's a 13 speed. the 'stick' on the right is replacing the range selector switch. The 'stick' on the left is replacing the splitter switch. you can see him shift all 13 speeds starting at 5:16 as follows: low, 1'st, 2'nd, 3'rd, 4'th, then selects high range (right stick), then 5'th direct, 5'th overdrive (left stick), 6'th direct, 6'th over (left stick), 7'th direct, 7'th over (left stick), 8'th direct, 8'th over (left stick). He kicks the shifter (middle stick) into neutral then back into gear when he splits 5'th to 8'th gears. I agree that it looks cool, but for me the novelty would wear of in about 15 minutes.
SnowDogRedSectorEh some off the super heavy hauling old macks had THREE gearboxs here in kiwi land. Look up bill hohepa (talking trucks) for a small doco and cab ride.
For those who don't get it: A) Go to 5:19, you will see the regular 1-2-3-4 pattern shifting, thats how the 1st stick operates all the time. This should be fairly straightforward. B) @ 5:30 the 3rd stick (the range selector) has to be used. This stick ONLY moves when shifting up from 4th to 5th (L) or down from 5th (L) to 4th. C) Gears 5 to 8 are SPLIT in Lo and Hi. Going from L to H or H to L on a same gear requires using the 2nd stick (the "splitter") in addition to the 1st one. D) @5:34 you can finaly see the splitter into action . The 1st stick has to go to neutral then back into gear when splitting. Thats 5 -lo to 5- hi. E) From then on you see the 1st stick going along the standard 1-2-3-4 pattern but repeating each position twice, thus spitting lo/hi for gears 5 to 8. That's about it.
This guy probably has less break- downs in his truck because he knows how to shift and he respects his truck and takes care of his truck all the time. More power to you sir and may all of your travels always be safe ones with our Lord with you wherever you go.
to be honest, I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I probably could figure it out, it's just a 13 speed with 3 sticks. left one is the stick that splits the high gears. middle stick is the one that goes through all of the gears. and the right one is the stick that gets the transmission from the low to high gears and vice versa.
Now that I have read your comment and watched the video again I completely agree with you. I was really impressed the first time I watched this but now not so much. I have driven 13 speeds and you make perfect sense. Seems like a lot of extra hand movement just to look good. I do love the way this truck sounds though!
robfromaz1977 I've watched this video a lot, and since i noticed he only split his high gears, i was like oh it must be a 13. Pretty cool video to be honest.
Dabe Ivan when I first watched the video, i was really confused, then the more I watched it, the more I realized it didn't seem that hard. The twin stick and the triple stick transmissions are before my time lol, im only 16. But id like to try one out one day
It's not as bad as it looks. The center stick with the silver shaft is the actual shifter stick, and moves in the usual pattern. The stick on the right with the skull is the low-high range switch, it goes to the right for the lower gears and left for the higher ones. The left stick is the splitter, it splits each gear into two. It goes back for the lower gear and forward for the higher one.
Your comment helped me understand someone else's. Between this comment and a couple others I think I understand the shifting pattern. Does this use a clutch?
Hey I just came across your video absolutely brought back memories when I first started heavy hauling originally started with your standard 18 speed the company I work for and to make a long story short I had the opportunity to learn on the three stick and I took it I am from then on I got switched to a different truck and I drove that truck for a better part of 35 years with the same truck probably rebuilt twice I am currently retired from doing the heavy haul and a three stick I’m back to doing local stuff and your standard 18 speed just thought I’d comment on your video because it brought back memories keep those gearshifting thank you very much for the Memories
I learned on twin sticks over 52 years ago . Of course all us old school boys know you can minimized all that shifting but it looks impressive anyway .
Not that my opinion matters but this video is cool. It raises plain old shifting in a big rig to another level. Yes. It isn't necessary. Neither are polished wheels, custom interior, or an eye-catching paint job. If trucking is in your blood, some guys find ways to dial it up a notch. That set-up is not something you see everyday in real life. I had no idea you could even do that till seeing this video. This video is a celebration of an appreciation for the mechanical wonders of big rig transmissions. Shifting gears is a smooth gentle process. Done well. It's a thing of beauty. The driver is in sync with the machine and vis versa. It's hard to see but I believe he's shifting without using the clutch. That's finesse. Lots of people drive truck. Some do it with style and finesse raising it to an art. Thanks for sharing this video.
ALL SHOW! He has a 13 speed Road Ranger with a low/ high and /direct/ overdrive air valves. What he has done is removed the air buttons and substituted two sticks to shift the air valves. The center stick is the main transmission gear shift lever. The left stick is the direct and overdrive air valve button. The stick with the skull on top is the low/high range button. ALL SHOW. As Phoney as baloney is called beef!
Weldon Boethel Just "Show Boating"! Put him behind the wheel of a truck with a 'screaming jimmy' for power and a 5 & 4 transmission with a pair 'mixing sticks'. Separates the men from the boys who just play at shifting.
No wonder i always see big rigs drifting off the road and hitting the rumble strips. The driver is inside playing tidily winks with the gear shifters.. wtf lol .... LOVE THE TURBO WHISTLE!
I was a driver for at least 20 years on twin 4 speeds, or 5's and 3's and 5's and 4's and others, how about a 4 speed main and 2 speed auxillary?, not any of those left are there.?? This young guy here is a darned good gear shifter, why knock him? He knows what he's doing, is good at it, and enjoys his skill. Good on you brother.
It's sad that most people bash this guy. That's some serious shifting. Most people on here probably don't know how to even float the gears they probably drive sloped nose and a pussy automatic
Al Mihalos I can steal it because it's easy to me I know what he dowing just the gear shifter on the midel side and the right side for high and low gears the left shifter is for Light and heavy gear its very simple for me
Left Stick = OverDrive Selector Middle = Standard Gears Right = Range Selector Taking the truck out of gear whilst selecting overdrive sometimes is really not necessary
JohnnyWishbone85 actually normally trucks used twin stick shifters till the 70’s or 80’s I’m not sure, actually three stick transmissions are really uncommon
Ok now I am officially confused. When I started out in trucking I got confused with switching from low to high Lmao ! Now you have really confused the hell out of me with a 3 shifter ? You do it with such ease too. Thanks for sharing the vid ! I like the skull on the shifter that was a classy touch .
He's just making it look more complicated... The center one is the only actual gear shift... The right one is only a high/low range switch... The left one is the splitter switch. He's just making you think it's just that difficult... But it's not. He is actually able to move left stick to split gears before he (really) shifts with the center one. He can use one hand easily to do the same job... He's just putting on a show for the viewers by moving them at the same time is all. I should know... I've got two sticks now on mine. The high/low switch is on my (real) shifter. Same thing as him only minus the third stick. Make sense? Smoke and mirrors... Lol
It's called walking the sticks. Back when truck driving meant something. That's the way it was back then. I am retired from it now 25 yrs. My dad worked on them so I have been around it my whole life. A truck driver is a one of a kind person, some of the most nicest people I have known. Put that hammer down and give it hell!
I grew up drivin my dad's garbage trucks, where we had 60,000 on a turned up Hendrickson, with a 5 and a 4 and a manual. rear after that one, that I would shift 21 forward gears to reach a top speed of 45MPH. I shifted from home to home on residential routes where you stop and go all day long, all summer, winter, etc.I learned on these trucks when I was 16yrs old. I love truckin', But i REMEMBER a lot more shiftin' in my days. and I have a brother "COUNTRY BOY" out of LUCK WI, Who loves these old 3 STICKER TRUCKS TO THIS DAY! . and collects them Ol' B model and KW's on a farm he calls "Tired Iron Hill"...kinda has a nice rang to it! Later guys, jus puttin in my two cents...which is what it's worth..
signman1122: Thanks for sharing those memories. Finding that ""cog"" and double clutchin some of the old non-synchronized transmissions could be a workout especially on a cold morning. First time I ever climbed into a B-61 Mack, I was 16Yrs (1959) by the end of the day my left leg was pegged out from the heavy duty clutch.
My two brothers and I used to play tag on deadhead GMC Scenicruiser Greyhounds running screaming jimmy and a couple of sticks. Dad still holds a CDL and uses it.
Na, I love hearing a sweet engine noise. I was driving a 5.7 SS Commodore with a 3” system. The drone got annoying on highways, but for those times when you got to a tunnel, ohhhh boy.
Nice anti theft system! From what I gather watching this though, if I'm right, it's just a normal transmission (probably a 13) with a stick for the range selector and another stick for the splitter. Not as complicated as it looks, but if some random person hopped in they wouldn't have a clue what to do!
From CarThrottle: "Injun86: Yo dawg, I heard you like manual transmissions… --Lisa Grant: So I put a manual transmission in your manual transmission ----Lucas Fernandes: So you can change a gear while you change the gear" LMAO xD
So many haters. They are obviously jealous of this trucker's skill. That's trucking at it's finest. I have "walked the sticks" myself on a 23 speed most have no idea even existed. "Props" to the excellent driving of a Brother Trucker.
Logan Wilder; you're a "know- it- all" wet behind the ears. Decades ago I rode with my Dad OTR during School Vacations in. 23 Speed indeed existed. He even let me drive a few times. I'm 65 now and never forgot the experience. Think before you speak and expand your vocabulary so you don't have to resort to Cursing. ----- A Baptist Minister.
+Logan Wilder / "RUclips" Colin Stuart's PETERBILT @ Iowa 80 2009. ~ 3minutes/ 20seconds he explains his Two (2) Stick 24 Speed. I won't explain the shift pattern since you doubt anything exists above an 18 Speed. You asked some of the old- timers who informed you there was a 21 SPICER. You were stunned, then pretended you knew. Be a Man and apologize to the Old Timer you cussed at.
Easy, I just saw the video that’s a 13 speed instead of the lever and splitter, he’s got 3sticks, definitely not old school though just kinda nice to have the old school look
I can tell you by the sound alone it's a 13 spd. Listen for the range switch(low/high side) hiss when he moves the left and top/upper right stick. The left would be the split and upper right is the range switch. Also pay attention to the fact when he is in the low side he never touches the left stick. It's 500 rpm between gears on the bottom side and 250 rpm across the top, cuts em in half and man will it pull then. Makes a weak truck tolerable and a big truck insane. Buuut I'm not taking away from it at all, hell of a cool layout even if it's now a bitch to get in the back. Can't take away from the man being smoother than a duck's back at the same time. Fine job hero!
It could also be an 18 spd, because I am sure you know you dont have to split the bottom box if you dont want too. 18s are 18s 15s 13s and 10s all in one box.
hmmm...how could I make shifting even more complicated than what it already is? OH WAIT! Lets turn two simple buttons/levers into two extra large levers that make me take my hands of the steering wheel! PERFECT! I don't usually hate on trucker mods, because if you like it, go for it, who am I to tell you otherwise. But this seems like a safety issue to me, hate it and I would make the guy take it out if I ever had to license this truck. Same with the seat height, don't you dare to ever be in an accident!
+ObsessionPC do you have any idea how many gears american 18 wheelers have? Mostly 18. They have to switch between 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 and 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17 if i remember correctly. These gearboxes are complicated to operate because americans cant into engineering
Joe Barbaro Well I know there are a lot of gears and you have to operate a splitter and such, but it ain't that hard, UNTIL you take away a simple switch and do what this guy did. Takes both hands of the wheel and shit like that....srsly...
13 speed with the air controls removed on transmission and replaced by mechanical control sticks, nice move looks awesome on video and is catchy for newbies
Why would anyone want to remove the air shifters and put them on sticks? Makes no sense other than trying to look cool but who would want to do all that shifting when you can simply flip a button? Stupid. He gonna feel the pain when he gets bursitis in that shoulder

There are tons of people who don’t text and drive for whom this was cause so much bedlam… you’d be adding to people’s distraction, not taking away from it. lol.
Lot of respect for the skill. Haven't seen that done in 20-years (the last Mack MaxiDyne I ever rode in). Now, youngun, about that sitting your seat on the floor to look cool...(I would feel like I was sitting on the frame...just couldn't do it).
Skeeter Saurus you obviously don’t know trucks! Or you did watch the video, this truck is ether a 13or 18 speed, he just took the splitter and hi/low range and made them into separate sticks! It not a true 5+4 or 6+4 with a auxiliary 4 speed box!
I like it. I drove Mack's with twin sticks and several others with a 5 and a 4. Nowadays though, too many other things going on in and around the truck that require my attention and input to keep it between the white lines, and off the top of 4 wheelers that think all trucks are big slow moving machines that can stop on a dime. Besides, there is no way I could drink my beer and text on the phone with an extra stick to worry about. J/K, LMAO !

dude didn’t even need to go to the gym when driving this in the city
Left Stick = OverDrive Selector
Middle = Standard Gears
Right = Range Selector
Taking the truck out of gear whilst selecting overdrive sometimes is really not necessary
Absolute Acid naw bud watch again
Left is . Gear select
Center . Gear spliter
Right. . Hilo range selector
Its a kit
5:17 mate.
The middle is usual gears
I thought the shifiting when splitting gears was for show. But I wasn't sure if I was missing something
S Upchurch - surely the left is the splitter as it only seems to have two positions...….
wt none yes that's correct however the direct/overdrive button on a 13 speed is red 18 is gray
Complicated way of not having to use little buttons and paddles on a regular shift lever.
I know nothing about trucking, but I bet this is the way it was for all trucks until at least the late 60s.
JohnnyWishbone85 actually normally trucks used twin stick shifters till the 70’s or 80’s I’m not sure, actually three stick transmissions are really uncommon
@ Lone Wolf
No, most of them for the past 40 years have used single stick transmissions with a paddle and switch.

Ok now I am officially confused. When I started out in trucking I got confused with switching from low to high Lmao ! Now you have really confused the hell out of me with a 3 shifter ? You do it with such ease too. Thanks for sharing the vid ! I like the skull on the shifter that was a classy touch .
This guy is not a truck driver! He is a humanoid upgrade to a three stick manual transmission. Phenomenal!
I'd love to see the instructors face at the MVA when he steers with his knee and doesn't constantly have both hands on the wheel.
not DOT approved !!!! really good job , no grinding , must be well synchronized ,,
Bout need a degree to drive this one
Or his head examined.
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
😂😂😂For Sure #Daniel warren
Ya and a few extra hands😃😳😦😟😵
He's just making it look more complicated... The center one is the only actual gear shift... The right one is only a high/low range switch... The left one is the splitter switch. He's just making you think it's just that difficult... But it's not. He is actually able to move left stick to split gears before he (really) shifts with the center one. He can use one hand easily to do the same job... He's just putting on a show for the viewers by moving them at the same time is all. I should know... I've got two sticks now on mine. The high/low switch is on my (real) shifter. Same thing as him only minus the third stick. Make sense? Smoke and mirrors... Lol
Those turbos are insane!!
A work of art right there.
It's called walking the sticks. Back when truck driving meant something. That's the way it was back then. I am retired from it now 25 yrs. My dad worked on them so I have been around it my whole life. A truck driver is a one of a kind person, some of the most nicest people I have known. Put that hammer down and give it hell!
When trucking meant something? Pretty sure it means the same thing now that it's always meant lol.
This isn't walking the sticks. Its driving a regular 13 speed and trying really really hard to make it all look harder than it is.
I assume it works so one stick is the " gear ", one the splitter and one the range?
I grew up drivin my dad's garbage trucks, where we had 60,000 on a turned up Hendrickson, with a 5 and a 4 and a manual. rear after that one, that I would shift 21 forward gears to reach a top speed of 45MPH. I shifted from home to home on residential routes where you stop and go all day long, all summer, winter, etc.I learned on these trucks when I was 16yrs old. I love truckin', But i REMEMBER a lot more shiftin' in my days. and I have a brother "COUNTRY BOY" out of LUCK WI, Who loves these old 3 STICKER TRUCKS TO THIS DAY! . and collects them Ol' B model and KW's on a farm he calls "Tired Iron Hill"...kinda has a nice rang to it! Later guys, jus puttin in my two cents...which is what it's worth..
signman1122 nobody cares.
signman1122: Thanks for sharing those memories. Finding that ""cog"" and double clutchin some of the old non-synchronized transmissions could be a workout especially on a cold morning. First time I ever climbed into a B-61 Mack, I was 16Yrs (1959) by the end of the day my left leg was pegged out from the heavy duty clutch.
Flickchaser a
My two brothers and I used to play tag on deadhead GMC Scenicruiser Greyhounds running screaming jimmy and a couple of sticks. Dad still holds a CDL and uses it.
signman1122 ok, first off you say turned up Hendrickson? Hendrickson makes suspension not engines
Dunno if I’d wanna sit and listen to that whistle all day-
Only good thing about
this video :)
I mean he probably has the windows open, mine is that bad with the windows open, but closed its quiet
Na, I love hearing a sweet engine noise. I was driving a 5.7 SS Commodore with a 3” system. The drone got annoying on highways, but for those times when you got to a tunnel, ohhhh boy.
Nice anti theft system!
From what I gather watching this though, if I'm right, it's just a normal transmission (probably a 13) with a stick for the range selector and another stick for the splitter. Not as complicated as it looks, but if some random person hopped in they wouldn't have a clue what to do!
Left stick is splitter middle is gears right is range. I actually drove one
Cure for texting while driving.
Chris Rasmussen 😂😂😂
Chris Rasmussen lol
Chris Rasmussen true that man
is he driving in heaven?
+Tadashi Sensei Judging as how that cluster-fuck of shift requires two hands I would predict he will be soon!
+Kent Sextro bro,u fukken cracked me up,LOL.!!!!!!
+Kent Sextro Dude fucking hilarious!
+Tadashi Sensei lmaoooooooooo funny
That turbo whine- sweet.
Perfect. Very enjoyable and exciting. A fatigue-free drive and need of skill
That's my old truck. I sold it because it didnt have enough shifters..
You need at least 2 for every gear. People are just lazy!
Connor W lol
Audistyle lol wut?
Audistyle lol
Audistyle 😂😂🤣🤣
i could listen to that sound all day long💯💯
me too
5.56 .223 than listen idiots
Turbo whistle and blow off valve gets annoying.
that shit would get obnoxious after a while
5.56 .223 love that turbo
great sound of that c-15 along with a driver that knows how to use it
This vid never gets old.
The best symphony of all time consists of a turbo and jake brake!
And straight pipes.
That's some real driving skills. Nice work
Awesome! Love the super smooth shifting and that turbo whistle!!! Best music in the world!
Just plain excellence.. That’s Dr. Smooth..
That engine and turbo sound so good
From CarThrottle:
"Injun86: Yo dawg, I heard you like manual transmissions…
--Lisa Grant: So I put a manual transmission in your manual transmission
----Lucas Fernandes: So you can change a gear while you change the gear"
LMAO xD

SpiritsoftheWolf hahahaha
Hahaha that is funny

Damn 😂😂😂😂
I love love this video Thank you for sharing
Iv seen this video so many times since its ben on here an its jus as good as it was 10+ years ago!!❤❤❤❤
So many haters. They are obviously jealous of this trucker's skill. That's trucking at it's finest. I have "walked the sticks" myself on a 23 speed most have no idea even existed. "Props" to the excellent driving of a Brother Trucker.
BILL GORDON 23 speed? Im a technician and have never heard of a 23 speed... either you meant 13 or I call bullshit.
Logan Wilder; you're a "know- it- all" wet behind the ears. Decades ago I rode with my Dad OTR during School Vacations in. 23 Speed indeed existed. He even let me drive a few times. I'm 65 now and never forgot the experience. Think before you speak and expand your vocabulary so you don't have to resort to Cursing. ----- A Baptist Minister.
definly know theres 21 speed spicers. very low ratio gears for heavy hauling. if u got too many gears u get overlaping ratios
+Logan Wilder / "RUclips" Colin Stuart's PETERBILT @ Iowa 80 2009. ~ 3minutes/ 20seconds he explains his Two (2) Stick 24 Speed. I won't explain the shift pattern since you doubt anything exists above an 18 Speed. You asked some of the old- timers who informed you there was a 21 SPICER. You were stunned, then pretended you knew. Be a Man and apologize to the Old Timer you cussed at.
GORDON SOLOMON
Holy shit that turbo sounds amazing!
Wow that's crazy shifting man
Wow! This is trucker art. I'm speechless right now
Dude teach me!!!! Talk about skill much respect!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Easy, I just saw the video that’s a 13 speed instead of the lever and splitter, he’s got 3sticks, definitely not old school though just kinda nice to have the old school look
Old school would be a 24 speed gear box twin stick spicer trans, that’s big time old school
I’d get fired in an hour. If I didn’t, I quit after listening to that turbo whistling all day.
Not very American of you
A turbo spooling is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world
Nice bro really nice . Thats a wheel man!
I can tell you by the sound alone it's a 13 spd. Listen for the range switch(low/high side) hiss when he moves the left and top/upper right stick. The left would be the split and upper right is the range switch. Also pay attention to the fact when he is in the low side he never touches the left stick. It's 500 rpm between gears on the bottom side and 250 rpm across the top, cuts em in half and man will it pull then. Makes a weak truck tolerable and a big truck insane. Buuut I'm not taking away from it at all, hell of a cool layout even if it's now a bitch to get in the back. Can't take away from the man being smoother than a duck's back at the same time. Fine job hero!
Thank God for the Roadranger 13 spd. selector switch Transmission ! !
Yeah ! !
It could also be an 18 spd, because I am sure you know you dont have to split the bottom box if you dont want too. 18s are 18s 15s 13s and 10s all in one box.
hmmm...how could I make shifting even more complicated than what it already is? OH WAIT! Lets turn two simple buttons/levers into two extra large levers that make me take my hands of the steering wheel! PERFECT! I don't usually hate on trucker mods, because if you like it, go for it, who am I to tell you otherwise. But this seems like a safety issue to me, hate it and I would make the guy take it out if I ever had to license this truck. Same with the seat height, don't you dare to ever be in an accident!
+ObsessionPC do you have any idea how many gears american 18 wheelers have? Mostly 18. They have to switch between 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 and 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17 if i remember correctly. These gearboxes are complicated to operate because americans cant into engineering
Joe Barbaro Well I know there are a lot of gears and you have to operate a splitter and such, but it ain't that hard, UNTIL you take away a simple switch and do what this guy did. Takes both hands of the wheel and shit like that....srsly...
for real mn
you do understand this isn't a mod this is a transmission
+Steven Lillo this is a mod. The two extra shifters are normally switches on one shifter. This truck is stupid.
A complicated but amazing piece of machinery.
Dang I love that turbo!!!
You can tell this guy has mastered this!
13 speed with the air controls removed on transmission and replaced by mechanical control sticks, nice move looks awesome on video and is catchy for newbies
Why would anyone want to remove the air shifters and put them on sticks? Makes no sense other than trying to look cool but who would want to do all that shifting when you can simply flip a button? Stupid. He gonna feel the pain when he gets bursitis in that shoulder
@@rogerburch69cause he wants to be cool.
this man has got that seat on the floor I love it
Super les manches à balais ! j en veux comme ça pour le ménage 😂
Doing this for 11 hours a day? No thanks, lol... Pretty cool though.
11 hours? still got about 5 more to go bro.....
11 hours? Just getting day started....
Dustin lindblad DOT says otherwise
Tato Gartacos just because your a sissyfied auto driver don't mean this is bad. Grow a set and learn to shift!
jsj297 dude I totally agree if ever given the opportunity to drive one of these, I'd do it in a heartbeat
já vi esse vídeo varias vezes, Kenworth, piloto é o "cara", muita pratica na condução, o ronco do motor com assobio da turbina, o estralado de freio do motor, iluminação do painel a noite, a cabeça de caveira da alavanca e tome marcha... ha... é muito emoção, PARABÉNS!!!
outubro/2019 - BRASIL!!!
Fricken awesome is all I can say!!
Shifting like a boss!
Every vehicle in the USA should have a transmission like this! I want to see somebody texting and shifting ! This set up would make our roads safer.
There are tons of people who don’t text and drive for whom this was cause so much bedlam… you’d be adding to people’s distraction, not taking away from it. lol.
The shifter length reminds me of Ross, the cartoonist from Daytona back in the 70's, hos hot rods always had the shifter out the roof.
True
..Change "Ross" to "Roth", as in "Big Daddy Ed Roth", R.I.P.
Very interesting and cool! I could barely shift gears in a 10 speed.
It must be really fun getting around all those sticks into the sleeper
Lot of respect for the skill. Haven't seen that done in 20-years (the last Mack MaxiDyne I ever rode in). Now, youngun, about that sitting your seat on the floor to look cool...(I would feel like I was sitting on the frame...just couldn't do it).
Skeeter Saurus you obviously don’t know trucks! Or you did watch the video, this truck is ether a 13or 18 speed, he just took the splitter and hi/low range and made them into separate sticks! It not a true 5+4 or 6+4 with a auxiliary 4 speed box!
fake ass shifters
I like it. I drove Mack's with twin sticks and several others with a 5 and a 4.
Nowadays though, too many other things going on in and around the truck that require my attention and input to keep it between the white lines, and off the top of 4 wheelers that think all trucks are big slow moving machines that can stop on a dime.
Besides, there is no way I could drink my beer and text on the phone with an extra stick to worry about. J/K, LMAO !
+CumminsDslPwr LOL and eat ur lunch
+CumminsDslPwr LOL!
Really really awesome!
Hey - super work
Great job shifting. handles it well. He knows exactly what he's dong.
