The sound of that beautiful engine going through the gears with the turbo whistling just sounds great, I'm glad I got into the world of trucks. Even though I'm an apprentice diesel mechanic I'd love to do some big rig driving when I get qualified, going for my HC license soon :)
Really good vid mate! Other blokes out there with more 'professional' vids haven't conveyed as much info as you have here e.g. the pointers on revs and rev ranges is fantastic. Many thanks mate!!
Hey mate, just wanted to say thanks so much for posting this, out of every other video I watched trying to understand the concept you were the most crystal clear with it! I work on a large scale farm and had to move grain trucks around the place, problem was I made a dogs breakfast pretty quick the first time I tried an 18 speed. Driven plenty of 10-15speed trucks but 18 seemed impossible till I seen this. Cheers !
im starting my HR lessons this week in NT. Got advised to look at some youtube content on RoadRanger gear shifting. This is the easiest to follow so far. Thanks champ
