Hands On: PACCAR Automated Transmission in a Peterbilt 579 Truck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2017
- The PACCAR Automated Transmission completes PACCAR’s proprietary powertrain puzzle, after the release of the Forty Thousand Pound PACCAR Axle last year and the continued evolution of the PACCAR MX engine lineup.
Designed for line-haul applications up to 110,000 lbs gross vehicle weight, the PACCAR Automated Transmission is spec’d for engine ratings up to five hundred and ten horse power and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque.
I caught up with Kyle Quinn and Jorge Medina to get the details on the transmission’s design and Peterbilt’s powertrain plan going forward.
Buckle up as I get my hands on the new Peterbilt integrated powertrain and dive into the specs on this episode of On the Road.

Watching this broke down on the side of the road with the service light flashing and trans fault on. 5hrs from my destination with this same transmission... 😬 It’s gonna be a long night.
I very much prefer a manual, but the company I work for mostly has automated trucks, so that's what I'm rolling with for now. As long as my truck is clean and running right. I'll drive manual or automated trans.
Great job on the video👍🏻
Is the Peterbilt 579 and Kenworth T680 with automated manual only available with Paccars Automated manual? I know Volvo has the I shift. Mack has the M drive and the Freightliner has the DT12 and I know Intertrashional has Eaton Ultra shift which is made by Eaton Fuller and they suck on the International Transtar.
I got the automatic in my kenworth and I love it
Jesse Dunham Don,t worry about this idiot who putting you down about the truck you drive he just one of those super truckers whos got something to prove
compare to volvo ishift ?
I shift is great for take off and smooth. Paccar is slower at start but optimizes fuel in higher gears. I would say get ishiftvfor local and paccar otr
Never commented on how it drove! I’m a driver and kinda wondered?
if its anything like the paccar engine you'll have '' check transmission'' light just like the check engine light thats always on lol
You say in your intro you travel the world, do you come to australia and drive our modern trucks?
Does the cecu3 computer control the gear shift???
Thanks a lot for the brand new basket I don’t work for free
Probably like every other automatic wont accelerate, won't pull, and has software problems....I'll keep my 10 speed and shift it my self until they can make one that won't make you pull out in front of traffic at 5 freaking mph!!!
Those are suggested "factory settings"
A properly programmed Ishift is absolutely amazing. Was able to start in 5th, skip shifted quickly and had plenty of power. I just got a 2017 579 with Eaton UltraSHIT and some...person....has Progressive Shift enabled and let me tell you this thing is an absolute POS to drive Bobtail/light load. I can honestly accelerate quicker with a load than bobtailing until about 25. Luckily my boss is letting me get it reprogrammed tomorrow.
The transmission is manufactured by Eaton, and has the PACCAR name.
Those factory settings stink!
I wonder what veteran truck drivers say about automatic transmissions, not industry experts
Automatic Trucks are not bad. I have a 07 Freightliner Century now for 5 yrs . Do the math 123,000 gross every yr for 5 yrs comes out to Win, Win, Win. Fuck Company Driving. All they Do is Trucker Pimp yo Ass. Making that 2,500 to 4,000 a week is Maximizing your earning potential.
The enduranceTrans 12 speed is a junk actually Not the mechanical it’s all the software , up shifting Uphill 6 & 7 gears blinks 4-6 then engaged & downshifting uphill from 12 in to 11,10 & 9 gears takes 4-6 blinks before engages again , with 80,000 pounds 4-8 grades hill you’re losing to speed and momentum , the engine break thanks 3 blinks about 2 seconds downshifting in lower gear every time on downhill 4-6 Grade in till it’s thinking to downshift it’s too late needs to go back in a higher gear , this software is a junk I don’t recommend to any to buy this junk Transmission, does a problem they’re testing a brand new and bobtail try after 100,000 miles And full loaded truck , and every time they doing a software update they charging you $$$$ but there is no difference even worse it gets , that’s my advice stay away away but you’re choosing not me I already did and I regret I should get Allison CT10, Paccar never less on the customer
The dealer can change settings for it. I HAD the quicker settings. It was a beast on hills holding speed. I would downshift to 9th with the button and hold it with manual.
PB came to work on it and reset to "factory" settings. It gets on hwy at 25 mph. Dies at red light on slight incline. Engine lugs because it's in the wrong gear. It truly sux to drive a broken machine. Also FYI, in higher settings it lurches when you service brake too much. Pressure changes. Just put in Neutral and throttle. It'll readjust it to normal. It's a glitch. But considering the beast you get on hills, I'd take it!
I'm seriously company shopping. Don't want to die.
Mmm. Allison transmission. Paccar motors.
He said they want "anybody" to be able to drive..... Well as far as I'm concerned, "ANYBODY" should be driving and that's part of the problem. Some are idiots enough with 3k pounds, they don't need 30 thousand pounds. Lets tame the bull, so ANYBODY can be a bull rider......
I like manual to feel, have better Control of everything...I had a abs failure once in my car and I was pressing the brake but the brakes were not working....we never know when the electronics would malfunction....the technology is not fully developed... automatic would reduce stress and more benefits...
But why do these things....are we searching for our ancestors in space..
Christian Beatzzz auto no good on snow, ice and off road, my choice for city applications though.
Probably not so great at -40 temps , I’d imagine.
JeepCherokeeful very true...autogear and there ABS fail at many times leading to brake failure and loss of Control.one day I had to put two wheels on the sand and two were on the Road and the brakes became nonresponsive leading to a accident.Some of these auto ABS sensors do malfunction after heating if you constantly drive for 1000 miles and the brake pedal response becomes different after they heat up.Even a Good EMF wave can Disturb the ECM to break down...21st century seems so easy as you get auto gear on the City roads but when you dig deep you will be gald that we are living in this time and not the future...
Christian Beatzzz Was in northern Manitoba last week, I’ve made up my mind, a few roads were packed snow and ice plus encountered a couple short steep hills, nothing I want to negotiate on the regular with only a couple buttons to manage the limited traction. I’m driving a Volvo I-Shift these days, it’s ok but I wouldn’t trust it on the Alaska Highway, for example. Plus it’s one more thing to have fail. Very helpful for new drivers though.
This took a dark turn. My ancestors are infact in space. How do you know this? Also, I don't have abs. How do I get abs without working out?
2017 peterbilt 579 auto 10 speed it SUCKS clutch is all are nothing . pull tanker that makes it SUCK more HELP
Automated Transmission is made by daf
The world means America to most Americans
:-( nothing serious, I don’t get it how you guys making reviews on equipment, you have to explain how works whole reacts how polls
I would rather have a 10spd then a automatic..that's bull fucking shit
Paccar is fucking horrible, i have a 2019 pete 579 and in less than 6 months I've had to take it into a dealership twice for major problems. I miss my freightliner.
Make trucking idiot proof. Remove the skill set to be a professional operator. Replace it with a truck that thinks and drives itself with an idiot behind the wheel. I give you the future of the trucking industry
Aaron Roberts that’s exactly what I was thinking when he said “we want to make it so easy anyone can drive it.”
Is that a bad thing?
Aaron Roberts I had no idea truckers got payed more a mile driving manuals. 😁
There's been a 2% uptick in trucking accidents since you asked this question (two years ago). There are two theories that are yet to be backed up by hard data:
_Theory_ One) Drivers are becoming inattentive and easily diverted by things such as social media, tech, and texting. The distraction is exacerbated by automatic/automated transmissions rather than helping to minimize divided attention required to manually shift. But this transmission idea could be null and void because cruise control with a sufficiently high differential gear ratio (no weak overdrive) doesn't require careful attention either.
_Theory_ Two) Drivers are speeding to meet deadlines since they now need to use ELDs. And can no longer fudge paper-based logs. This would lend more weight behind the speed limiter idea. Which drivers claim will be a win against their struggle to earn a living.
im sorry paccar sucks i dont know why peterbilt ever went to them for there primary motors
Aaron Mooney who do you think owns Peterbuilt....and Kenworth
cbigclarke I know that they just have a lot of problems my dads peterbilt was always in the shop that was when paccar started using there motors
I think the Paccar engine is 13 liter and honestly 13 liter is too small for tractor trailers regardless of the transmission. Ive driven International Transtars with the Navistar N13 and it sucks and so does the DD13 on the Freightliner Cascadia. I have driven Cummins ISX 15s on International Prostars and LTs and they are great and so is the DD15 on the Cascadia.
Paccar owns peterbilt and kenworth
I drive a Daf truck in the uk (for the Americans) paccar the gearbox is so slow it’s worse than listening to Donald trump good motor crap gearbox
I totally agree. the DAF AS-tronic is a driving pleasure killer. Luckily I drive a DAF CF ( in NL) with a manual 16 speed gearbox.
It's a ZF transmission...
I actually like Donald Trump I just wonder whose economy is doing better Europe orUnited States not hard to figure that one out at least we're not being overrun by Islam
Darrel Mignery Aint that the truth
European women prefer arab cock
@@omarh4694 There u have "Americans" 😅
Total junk!
Total junk. They need to be more realistic and test drive these POS transmission under a loaded tanker and ban them from tanking. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. You pull out on a open free road and soon as the liquid surge hit the truck completely stops nearly causing a accident.
automatic transmissions are for cars that drive girls not for a truck
Peter Kenmex I'd rather shift a 10, 13, 15, or an 18 speed truck than drive an automatic.
Auto trans are stronger and if you don't have a good clutch leg you can't really use a manual trans. Yeah manuals were stronger. Just like the big boy steam engine it was the strongest engine but not any more.
Ok buddy. Happy 1970
Shove your automatics and learn to shift
Peter Kenmex bull...
automatic is not good also is for Lazy people
Idris mansaye don,t put down people who drive automatic trucks just because you don,t like them
@@acedriverboi2429 i agree i got bad arthritis in my knee so its hard to use the clutch. But super trucker's like that guy will never understand until the day he fucks up his knee's
Victor Bernier I agree hes just one of those super truckers thats got something to prove sense super truckers are the curse of the industry
I guess I’m lazy, I drove an 18 speed for 12 years and 13 speed and 10. Than due to the injury sustained from the military on my left foot. That means that I can no longer put pressure on my left foot for clutching. Yes I’m lazy. I hope in your lifetime you never have to experience pain. I wish you the best in your life without pain. But when that day comes that you feel pain just think”It’s not real, it’s all an allusion!” Pain is good for you it lets you know that you’re still breathing and alive.
pac car. sucks and so do automatics.
Automatics are a joke
