Truely an angel song with the jakeshift on i know that personally cause i might only be 15 but I'm already a partime truckdriver of a freightliner argosy 90 with a Cummins N14 460hp engine in it coupled to a manual 18speed box and i swear to God i hear angels sing when i have the jakeshift on a heavenly sound indeed i just never grow tired of VVVrrroommm BRap VVVVVrrrooommm BRap VVVrrroommm BRap VVVrrroommm
Holy shit shame i feel so damn sorry for you man a KW W900L is propbably the best truck ever but hey why cant you just migrate to the US its not that hard ;)
Thanks for sweet feels, it's very hard to move I like very much alaska's snow fill roads and trucking over thier in the whole usa alaska has unique nature, natural beauty, hilly jungles, grizzly bears, timber works, pines and lakes all very beautiful and kenworth drive in such environment just fabulous.
I know Alaska is a beautiful place many describe it as trucking heaven when the summer season is full swing but come winter its damn freezin' cold and snow all over the place but yeah you're right the US is a nice place to truck along with your beautiful KW W900L its a TRUCKING PARADISE :D
Tim's Coffee. Oh yeah welcome to Canada folks. Keep shiftin cat304c. Hey, What do you call the bikers that hang at Tim Hortons? The DOUBLE DOUBLES. Ha ha ha ha.
In and out of gear on the splits makes the shifts happen 100% of the time. If you just take your foot off the fuel and get back into it too soon the shift sometimes doesn't happen and you get stuck in no mans land. Cats are bad for this especially if you are pulling a hill. The motor doesn't slow it's speed fast enough. It's a good habit to get into Nd a hard one to break once you do it easier on equipment. Take care of your stuff. Put 1.25 million km on my kw in the mountains of sw British Columbia. Never did a stitch of work on the trans
To all these negative comments two questions : have you ever sat on it in the driver seat of a semi truck and two you are referring to a professional truck driver with thousands and thousands of miles under his belt ,like my self.
Its a truck not a car and the gear shifter is so long it looks like a grandads walking stick, can he even see over the dashboard? Looks like a little kid driving and can't see over the steering wheel. If you wanna be king of the road then sit up high and be like one!
Having been in the trucking industry for 35 years I have seen guys like this often. Lower you seat and install a tall shifter so you look all "gangster." Well...if you did not install that oversized sun vision you would not have to do that to see out the windshield. Secondly, over the hood sight becomes extremely obstructed and driving like this is dangerous. Also, that overly tall shifter will accelerate the wear on your transmission sliding clutches and cause the trans to pop out of gear; I have repaired many. However, most "gangster truckers" like this will scream warranty and cannot comprehend why their rig is failing prematurely. Lastly, with your seat on the floor...your back is absorbing the road vibration and will cause you severe back problems...but at least you look cool.
I hate to tell you but in fast & furious they recorded shifting before making the movie notice next time when you watch it the shifting is somewhat the same just at a different camera angle.
Please forgive him, but this is a standard length gear-stick, and he is only 4 1/2 feet tall. Notice the phone books he is sitting on and he has 2 x 4s strapped to his legs to reach the peddles.
Hey, my brother is only 5' 6", he used to drive a KenWorth T800. He had his seat so low, that in order for him to see his right hood mirror, he had to stand up. lmao. Im only 15 so I can't legally drive a semi.
Gary ClarkII my brothers a compamy driver, he used to drive a T800, before he asked his company for a new truck because his heater kept going out, and now he has a Freightliner. In his T800, me and my brother are the same height, when I sat in his seat, I couldnt see he right hood mirror. I had to stand up. But i guesd that's the way he likes it. I cant wait to get my Class A CDL, i just got my Class D. So I'll be waiting 2 years lol
That Turbo!!!! Music to ones ear pussies!!! And to everyone saying the stick is to high... Not for him. He's just driving along like a G. Shit I want a Stick that long on my lil 22r toyota and be churpin' gears like that.
Put some air in that seat, how is it cool you can barely see over the dash. Your seat bottomed out, the air bag under it empty, its meant to make the ride more comfortable. It could happen your gonna run something over someday your gonna regret. Nice truck though.
CHRIS BROESKY Im a driver aswell been driving for awhile. Its cool to sit low and you have no fucking idea how easy it is to see. You would not know bc maybe u sit in the roof. Well I on the other hand sit so low you only see my ball cap lol. Ive got the low base seat and it is by far the best ive had. Ive never hit a thing nor will i ever just saying. Heres a guy who makes a video about shifting with an extended shifter and everyone goes off the rails about something else. People you know what your problem is...... your jealous. Should post a video up from the Pet Shop Boys music video Jealousy, suites all you people well. Im sorry but it bothers me when people complain about something that is not important
drummer15kader And the funny thing is that the majority of the people complaining have never driven a truck or know nothing about them. I can tell by the stupid/ignorant comments. If they knew how stupid they sound when they comment..
CHRIS BROESKY bro that's the best way to ride in a truck! keep it low! you sound just like my co worker Dennis! he said the same thing you said about seeing over the dash, lmao! I drive a 2013 international, and had the seat low for so long, my air bag don't even hold air anyone! I done fucked it up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well you think he cant see over the dash but that's your perception...every driver has his preferences and some of us actually prefer to sit low and feel like we have more control.....I completely air out the air seat and see more out of the mirrors than the old man before me (if in a commercial application where many people drive any given truck). You wouldnt understand until you actually sat in the hot seat for many, many miles my lil friend!!
Awesome sound, you can see this chap just loves his truck and job, good on him, I've never seen a gear shift as long as that before, I bet it makes shifting a lot easier if your gear box is tight........ Thanks for the video
I am temporarily sidelined right now just had a new mechanical heart valve installed. This video makes me wanna get back out on the road! Thanks for the video and sharing.
He is the one driving! Not any of you posting are in the truck and im certain 95% posting dont even drive a rig! Bottom line its his life his drive his shift his own damn feet! Let the man live his own life. Why is it Americans are so wrapped up in negativity and criticizing others? Nice video bud. I enjoyed it!
The point is "Who Cares?"!!! Why hate on this man? If he likes the feel and look of his truck then that's his right. Don't hate! He drives his machine well! Much Respect.....
Sitting position is horrible, the noise inside is unbearable, dash looks like it was made out of some old furnitures but look at this beast from outside! This wasn't designed to look good in any way but it does. And it's cool!
The windows were probably down, I had a W900L like this one once, you couldn't ride anywhere with the windows down. The turbo was so loud, not to mention, it does have straight pipes. Windows down or not those fuckers are loud anyways lol
to the driver...that's an awesome w9 you got there man I love the old skool rigs all the gauges and switches set it off to the max yours is perfect but I would've did the 18in extention only because I go big or go home lol...b safe keep the rubber side down and keep the shiny size up brother!
compare to VOLVO American truck seem to be very inefficient and lazy waste of dough and old tech. American market has a lot to catch compare to European's
GETREAL! not really. our trucks are more fuel efficient nowadays. you guys are still using cabovers which BTW isn't very good on fuel due to bad aerodynamics of the rig.
why is that gear lever so long? that's unconfortable. + the dashboard is so high up compared to the driver's head that i think he barely sees what's in front of him
Love the video but still wondering why you get the gear in and out when you hit the splitter...all you gotta do is letting the fuel go and retake it. anyways, you must do it for the style but in my opinion it looks stupid lol.
^ clearly a cager. No, this here is a 18speed boys & girls, comes with a range selector & splitter....so you have a high & low per range/gear. so he shifts from low 7, to hi 7 down to low 8 then high 8 etc etc...
+dirtyann commentateur It's so it doesn't jump out of gear or sometimes when you either switch gears or down shift will make a knocking sound (That's what happens with one of our peterbilts but other than that I have no clue)
What's the deal? You flip to go to the high side of the gear and you bring it out then back in. Why not do as Fuller Eaton says and let off throttle shifts into gear then accelerate.?
Because that way people that know nothing about trucks can think he has a lot of grears......Also the extended shifther, change the shiffter knob & srtaight pipes but I guess so people think that is so cool. Needs to do more practice on down shifting & why turn the jakes off when you got done down shifting with you empty trailer? I guess that makes you a SUPPER TRUCKER
Awesome video! Same shifting pattern I learned on 14 years ago. I miss it. Now I'm with a company that has all automatics. Don't get me wrong, it nice during traffic jams. But I miss the shifting.
The outside of the truck looks bad ass, buy the suicide shifter and sitting ridiculously low is just stupid and dangerous. How are you supposed to see whats going on around you in your mirrors if youre sitting that low. Also how are you supposed to react to a dangerous situation if your shifter is that long and unstable probably. Same w the 3 shifters I have seen... youre going to be to busy trying to shift all the levers and all your attention will be on that instead of being able to focus on driving.
bullshit... what do they need trucks in Europe for anyway? to deliver food aid to merkles refugees? any given Kenworth hauls 100 times more in its lifetime than a day or merc.
is only a cummins with 400 hp may be little more , in europe we use them as starter motors. changing gears with that stick is as ridiculus as american bike rider position , is monkish
Great sounding truck. He's smooth shifting too. Almost as smooth as I am. Bumping the jake between gears occasionally is just sloppy. Turn the jake off or don't let the accelerator pedal hit the top when floating to the next gear, whichever is easier. I don't know if he thinks shifting the stick out of and back into gear when making the splitter shift is necessary or cool. In fact, its neither. As far as sitting on the floor, never, the seats have air suspension for a reason. Your back will thank you years from now. Not to mention sitting a few inches higher allows you to see over the steering wheel. I think the ridiculously tall stick is just that.....but to each their own. Driving in socks? Come on, you're in a truck, not your living room. What if something happens that requires you to exit quickly? You going to take time to put your shoes on?? Don't ask me what, use your imagination, I'm sure you can think of something.
andrew bentley It's gonna happen, no matter how long you drive, no ones perfect. My dad's driven trucks for over 30 years, got about 3 million miles accident free, and he grinds em every now and then. Some people shouldn't talk about things they know nothing about..
Why are you pulling it out of gear to split it? I have driven probably 95% of big truck transmissions and I never had one I had to pull it out of gear to split that gear.
What is the purpose of pulling the stick out of gear and then back into gear when going from direct to overdrive? Other than excessive wear on the shift forks,is that the cool thing to do now?
Basically 10 years later i have to disagree company im at uses brand new petes and kens all manual transmission 13 and 10 speed. They have there place/niche in the market
This guy doesn't seem to be a very smart driver, his seats touching the floor And what's up with that sawed off arm? And dump that girly music off, be a real man!Lol
Let me just say this if you don't drive a W900, 379, or 389 and you drive for a big company like JB Hunt, Schneider, Werner, etc and your truck is governed to 65mph you're comments are invalid. That man is a real trucker no stupid ear piece, no gps, no electronic logs and bs like that. He doesn't just sit there and hold a wheel all day he actually uses his brain.
Lawson Green I've seen plenty of guys run little to no air in the seat, and plenty of guys running trucks barefoot, flip flops, and mandles. Whoopdee doo, it comes down to driver preference and them being comfortable. My uncle has drove a truck for 25+ years, a short stubby man, who, even with air in the seat can barely see over the dash, and he has driven many different trucks, and now hauls everything from feed to hazmat. He prefers hazmat, but point is, he has air in his seat and still barely sees over the dash, and manages to be a safe driver, and he's driven that way for 25+ years.
I could listen to those sweet sounds all day.
You can mistake the sharp turbo whistle from a cat.I also love the sound of the shifting with the jakes on.VVVrrroommm BRap VVVVVrrrooommm BRap
Truly that was a well orchestrated, melodic, symphonic, mechanical concert.
Ricki Washington awesome comment.

Thats a badass setup, looks fun as hell to drive
I have always a huge desire to drive a KW once in my life but it's not just miles away not just countries away but it's continent away from me.
Where do you live then?
Wynand Rautenbach I am in UAE basically from pakistan
Holy shit shame i feel so damn sorry for you man a KW W900L is propbably the best truck ever but hey why cant you just migrate to the US its not that hard ;)

awesome video. awesome truck. the shifter is dope so negative commenting people prolly drive an automatic
Much respect to all truck drivers get er dun
pure badass got u kenworth W900 a cigarette 😎
he looks like he can just barely see over the steering wheel
Tim's Coffee. Oh yeah welcome to Canada folks.
Keep shiftin cat304c. Hey, What do you call the bikers that hang at Tim Hortons? The DOUBLE DOUBLES. Ha ha ha ha.
Uno de mis favoritos no me canso de ver este vide o
That damn spool. Nothing better than that haha.
Why go into neutral when air shifting from direct to over? Just let up on the accelerator.
i like it keep on trucking
Much, much culture.

Beautiful truck, a pity that there is no way to import one of these to Brazil
what do you need to see the hood for? you already sat and watched what was coming ahead of you what do you nee to see?
İŞTE HAYALİMDEKİ MAKİNA
Screw the long gearshifter... Listen to that Turbo!!! OMG!!!
but that turbo whistle
bust a nut when you here that
true
C-15 power!
but that jake brake
Its beautiful🤤🤤🤤
Love the tall shifter and sitting low ... class act my friend ... F the haters
Its a truck not a car and the gear shifter is so long it looks like a grandads walking stick, can he even see over the dashboard?
Looks like a little kid driving and can't see over the steering wheel.
If you wanna be king of the road then sit up high and be like one!
@@petehurford5807 there ain't a single person that calls themselves a King of the road, that's sits high in the seat. Just saying.
@@petehurford5807 I suspect you drive a Tesla truck
That engine brake was awesome man and that turbo whistle. Thats is the true definition of a truck

Jeffro Bodene fuck you
Form over function!....
Go fuck yourself , and leave people lone and mind your own business
"look cool" even though no one can actually see you lol
Motherfucker drove a skillet all his career lmao 😂
I thought Fast & Furious shifting was fake. Now I know they used truck gear boxes!
I hate to tell you but in fast & furious they recorded shifting before making the movie notice next time when you watch it the shifting is somewhat the same just at a different camera angle.
lmao
Camsguns, its a joke man
yeah, 150 speed transmission :D
dam you are an idiot. that went over your head
@Ryan Costa he is splitting the gear. You don't actually need to take it out of gear to do it but it's just the way some people drive
Sometimes I do have to take it out of gear for it to shift mainly because my transmission is wore slap out 🤣🤣
i drove a KW W900L daycab with the C15 cat and a 13 speed...........the turbo sound of one of these trucks is mesmerizing.
the turbo 's whistling!!
The Tim Hortons' cup ;-)
Please forgive him, but this is a standard length gear-stick, and he is only 4 1/2 feet tall. Notice the phone books he is sitting on and he has 2 x 4s strapped to his legs to reach the peddles.
I could listen to that big ol' cat turbo spool all day baby!! Oh what a sweet sweet sound!!
And that Jake tho! 🙀😱
Riding low is the only way to go. Only swift drivers bash their heads on the roof
So many people dont understand that way on here. Wow...
That cracks me up every time I get in a truck and the damn seat is so high you can't get your legs between seat and steering wheel. Pussys.
Jeremy H Ha I fuckin hate that!
I only drive 10 speed freightliner for com, I see this shifting and driving I feel like I don't know SHIT!!!! good work
Neal Perez enough was said when you said you drive a freightliner with a 10 speed you already had made it perfectly clear that you don’t know shit.
how well do you see? Looks like you can't see over the dash lol
Hey, my brother is only 5' 6", he used to drive a KenWorth T800. He had his seat so low, that in order for him to see his right hood mirror, he had to stand up. lmao. Im only 15 so I can't legally drive a semi.
+Justin Hood Probably just the positioning of the camera bro
The riding position in the Peterbilt 359/379/389, and in the Kenworth T800 and W900, if the seat is to the floor, it can be hard to see.
Tell me about it, that tall gear shifter would seriously get on my nerves also!!! Glad it not my truck but to each their own I reckon.!!!
Gary ClarkII my brothers a compamy driver, he used to drive a T800, before he asked his company for a new truck because his heater kept going out, and now he has a Freightliner.

Never did understand the need for a long stick. I'm fine with a regular or a short throw stick.
the ladies love it....if you know what I mean (:
josh33025 yeah cause you're going to use a short throw on a truck. Idiot
How do you see where you're going man?! haha...awesome truck though, awesome sound! I never get tired of hearing the turbo whistling!
Turbo sounds awesome
Truckers make shifting an artform.
That Turbo!!!! Music to ones ear pussies!!! And to everyone saying the stick is to high... Not for him. He's just driving along like a G. Shit I want a Stick that long on my lil 22r toyota and be churpin' gears like that.

That turbo whistle was hear pearcing
looks like you can barely see over dash lol
Reaper that’s my 70 year old Dad but lower
Why is he sitting so low?? ...can't even see over the dash
Someone needs to sit up and forward, to keep track, because it has no a feel.
He does not need to see. He feels it.
***** then he may as well drive blind folded true?
*****
is he going to 'feel' those pedestrians hes going to run over too?
well you think he cant see over the dash but that's your perception...every driver has his preferences and some of us actually prefer to sit low and feel like we have more control.....I completely air out the air seat and see more out of the mirrors than the old man before me (if in a commercial application where many people drive any given truck).

Why do people use ridiculously high shift sticks? Is it for better leverage?
oldman jefferson pretty much. Changes the shift timing a little
That turbo reminds me of the wife's nose whistle.
Steve Foster what the fuck hahaha

compare to VOLVO American truck seem to be very inefficient and lazy waste of dough and old tech. American market has a lot to catch compare to European's
Americans don't like change. If it works, well, it works!
You got it wrong, if it looks stupid and it works, it's not stupid
Close enough! 😂
Aye man, that only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. Or is that almost? 😂😂😂😂😂
GETREAL! not really. our trucks are more fuel efficient nowadays. you guys are still using cabovers which BTW isn't very good on fuel due to bad aerodynamics of the rig.
Интересно, он так низко сидя горизонт только, наверное, видит =)) Пздц...
You can never get sick of Jake brakes, just an awesome vid
why is that gear lever so long? that's unconfortable. + the dashboard is so high up compared to the driver's head that i think he barely sees what's in front of him
Oh shut up! Are you the one driving it?
They started making them that tall because they realized nobody could see them shifting gears
Love the video but still wondering why you get the gear in and out when you hit the splitter...all you gotta do is letting the fuel go and retake it. anyways, you must do it for the style but in my opinion it looks stupid lol.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing... Lol
to show off
^ clearly a cager. No, this here is a 18speed boys & girls, comes with a range selector & splitter....so you have a high & low per range/gear. so he shifts from low 7, to hi 7 down to low 8 then high 8 etc etc...

why you have to scratch the roof while shifting ;-)

you can tell its not stupid british truck the steering is properly sitting on the left
ha ha lol but damn that turbo is awsome
The word "right" simultaneously means "correct" and "opposite to left" for a good reason.
Nanorisk reply deserves recognition.
Nanorisk certainly you don't believe that....
***** Sounds even worse if you crash while sitting on the wrong side of the car, double fail.
The outside of the truck looks bad ass, buy the suicide shifter and sitting ridiculously low is just stupid and dangerous. How are you supposed to see whats going on around you in your mirrors if youre sitting that low.

How is that shifter comfortable?
Waylan... thats how I drive my xl classic. Whats the problem?
This truck would be modern in Europe... 1967.
framfull lot cooler than any new truck though
bullshit... what do they need trucks in Europe for anyway? to deliver food aid to merkles refugees? any given Kenworth hauls 100 times more in its lifetime than a day or merc.
framfull 4 year old comment but you spelled Europistan wrong. And it’s far better looking than any euro garbage
F***ckin awesome man! Listen to that turbo whistling... music to my ears!
is only a cummins with 400 hp may be little more , in europe we use them as starter motors. changing gears with that stick is as ridiculus as american bike rider position , is monkish
scoopyex... you're absolutely right... Maybe Fabio has problems with America... :)
Hey little fella if you're gonna take your Daddy's truck for a joyride at least grab a couple of phone books so you can see over the dashboard.

You should have longer shifter... thats too low :)
oh,,that's that peterbuilt mentality,,the low rider,,with the seat way back,,,that's billy big rigger for sure ROGGI--4
It's a KenWorth W900. Made by the same company Peterbilt is
PACCAR ;)
I feel like I've seen this truck hauling for Scotlyn
That looks f#$kin terrible to drive. It might look nice but it's shit.
Not to mention he did grind gears a couple of times.
Aaannddd??
andrew bentley grind um till u find um
andrew bentley It's gonna happen, no matter how long you drive, no ones perfect. My dad's driven trucks for over 30 years, got about 3 million miles accident free, and he grinds em every now and then. Some people shouldn't talk about things they know nothing about..
andrew bentley Trucks dont have synchros so to never grind a gear take IMMENSE skill
+beyondthelol yes they do, atleast here i europe they do
Why are you pulling it out of gear to split it? I have driven probably 95% of big truck transmissions and I never had one I had to pull it out of gear to split that gear.
1977rw yeah true that ole buddy. Hes just trying to make splitting gears look like its an art that only a master can do.
Maybe he just like doing it like that
1977rw each driver does it differently. I never understand why
Sanford Yoder you might not feel it, but some say it does put more load on the input shaft. Who knows is that’s fact though!
That gearstick is just way too long
Helps shift easier
+Rick Thompson does it really? I guess your arm is going to hurt after some time when it has to get up that high on so many gear changes
+Alexander Rom No u shift and put your arm back down
+Rick Thompson Stil if u have to reach that high so many times i guess its gonna hurt or atleast be annoying as fuck
+Alexander Rom lol you should see his other video with three stick shifting
4:20, Why is he driving with just socks on? Also sitting so low and the shifter is really high up.
he cant see the road :D
shoes or boots screw up leg circulation- other wise if u not a hand u wouldn't know about sittin lo
kimo schrader and you keep the inside of your truck clean and lean :)
Have you ever tried to drive only with socks on? It's great! It's like riding a motorcycle without a helmet...
It's a character thing. Not everybody has one.
that turbo would do my head in on a long journey
just driving hell yea
What is the purpose of pulling the stick out of gear and then back into gear when going from direct to overdrive? Other than excessive wear on the shift forks,is that the cool thing to do now?
What's the song at 3:55? Can someone please help me with that? I love that song and this amazing video!
+Eaze54 Bruno Mars-Just The Way You Are
+James Otieno Doesn't sound like it, though.
+Eaze54 Jason Derulo - It Girl
+Eaze54 engine brake
Another 10 years and shifters are gonna be a thing of the past...Sadly
You weren't wrong
Basically 10 years later i have to disagree company im at uses brand new petes and kens all manual transmission 13 and 10 speed. They have there place/niche in the market
For those who comment about the seat and shifter, just go away, you don't get it.
I can watch this all day long turbo whistle and Jake’s
Like you high sifter and black truck
This guy doesn't seem to be a very smart driver, his seats touching the floor And what's up with that sawed off arm? And dump that girly music off, be a real man!Lol
Ron Peterson he has his opinions your not his boss it his life his choices
Say what you want, he’s good and you suck. Look at The views 3.4 million. Wow
Ron Peterson says the dude that have a F250 lol m8
errr errr rererererrrrrr ,ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhh,,,wa wa WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I guess for all off you who think he cant see must have never been in big truck before
Let me just say this if you don't drive a W900, 379, or 389 and you drive for a big company like JB Hunt, Schneider, Werner, etc and your truck is governed to 65mph you're comments are invalid. That man is a real trucker no stupid ear piece, no gps, no electronic logs and bs like that. He doesn't just sit there and hold a wheel all day he actually uses his brain.
Moto Melv what about a classic xl freightliner thats what my dad drives hes a owner operator
Lawson Green I've seen plenty of guys run little to no air in the seat, and plenty of guys running trucks barefoot, flip flops, and mandles. Whoopdee doo, it comes down to driver preference and them being comfortable. My uncle has drove a truck for 25+ years, a short stubby man, who, even with air in the seat can barely see over the dash, and he has driven many different trucks, and now hauls everything from feed to hazmat. He prefers hazmat, but point is, he has air in his seat and still barely sees over the dash, and manages to be a safe driver, and he's driven that way for 25+ years.
screw the haters! keep it in the hammer lane driver! we back quiet
very noisy truck. please stop making noisy trucks or take them to junk yard. he can't lesson music because the truck is to loud.
nicu duma who needs music when you have the truck to listen to..
lol, if the stick is a little longer, you can sit on the roof and shift gears from there :D
Uhhh why is he pulling it out of gear every time he splits it? Nice acting for the video.
if you listen, he says " now im just showing off "
American Truck Simulator in real life
You hear those turbos just screaming
First phrase of the video says it all!
Your truck sounds really good my dad drives a peterbilt 589 sounds just like yours nice video
how can u see anything sitting that low ? lol
Get into gym before the shifter breaks your arm.
I've been listening to it every day
