@@kirstyentwistle3192 first of all, dont say r/, this isn't reddit. And it wasn't going over my head, he was referring to fast and the furious movies shifting like 50 times in every race even though cars only have 5-6 gears.
Truckers will forever have my respect! Always give them there space and give them time before getting in there path, there job is no joke and If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have any of our merchandise we purchase. Thank you to all truckers out there. Love
At the very least it gives you something to focus on, running 10+ hours can get a bit dry, if you've got some hills or tight corners i find having to cycle through a few gears helps me stay awake, auto's are dangerous, been running teams for long enough not to like them, you'd shit yourself if you knew how many drivers are half awake in trucks with cruise control rolling down the freeway

It's more than that I find. It forces you to be more aware of the road and your surroundings. You want to look ahead, and think ahead, to avoid having to shift down a gear or come to a stop and have to launch again. It also keeps you aware of you speed, since you're more involved in the process that got you that speed.
@ I totally agree with what you said, I drove school bus for over 20 years and about 16 of those years was in a stick shift….I learned exactly what my bus was capable of doing and which gear to be in for the conditions, be it either weather or traffic…I also was an instructor who made sure my trainees understood the importance of being in the right gear for the situation at hand so they would always be in control of their bus at all times. So yes, you’re right when you say it’s much more than that! 👍🏼☺️
Not hard at all dude we don’t use the clutch all you gotta do is apply pressure and ease your foot of the gas. it’s called floating the gears, if he takes to long shifting gears it won’t go to the next gear you’ll have to rev the motor to make the rpms line up with the tranny or whatever. I learnt how to drive with a 13 speed now I drive a 10 speed.
If trucking companies were smart, they would just go all-in on automatics on Semi’s. Nobody wants to drive a manual transmission. They need to go the way of Carburetors.
Watched my dad do this for years. At 12 yrs old he asked if I wanted to drive. I said quickly, "yep". Hopped over and took off like a fish in water, he just let me keep going. I'm 32 now, 4 kids, work construction to be home every night. Kids never been in a truck and I haven't talked to my dad in years. I miss the sound of a turbo, that hissing sound from splitting gears. One day I'll be in a truck, it's in my blood.
paintup46 Respect to you man, a hard working American to support his family. Idk what happened between you and your dad, but I agree with this man about seeing your father.
Straight to the point and you didn’t even explain anything but still managed to give way more details than any other video on RUclips that Ive watched on the 13 speed lol
I was talking to a friend today about how simple it is to shift trucks nowadays, cuz they're automatic. Huge respect for those like you who can still master a beast of a gearshifter like that one :)
The man got skills! The gear placement,red button forward and back plus the other in front plus 13 gears to think about....all done smoothly,Beast mode
Shifting 2 gears per shift 2x6 is 12 plus one shift for 13 at 6 you switch to high range and when you said to watch the red button you split the last two gears 12-13 good video and very educational
Finally a driver who knows how to hold the gear shifter in his hand correctly. Thats the first step in getting them smooth shifts! No matter which trans you have pay attention to his hand and learn!
Thats just how I've been doing since i started driving 13 speed and i learned all by myself. Today i just came to youtube to see if i was doing it properly and this good man pretty much said i am doing properly. Thank you for the video my man,God bless you.
The man in a ‘grand father’ age made a very good video. Perfect angle and interest in sharing. Appreciated. And also noticed the old jeans material which looks like 80 and 90s.
Worked in bearing factory for 41 years . Eaton Fuller transmission was one of our customers. Also Eaton Axle, Caterpillar, John Deere, and other major brands
That's how I drove my 13spd when I was on the road. It's that simple! Other videos put too many emphasis and too many zig zag details to throw you off. Making it more difficult than it actually is. Yours is simple and to the point. Good job! 👍👍👍
Exactly how i did it years ago, lots of little nuances you can pick up for different conditions like weight or hills. My older brother said he could drive anything... he failed miserably with this same transmission. Respect to you.
I drove a little back in the 80's, and the 13 speed Fuller Road Ranger was very popular. It takes practice, but you eventually get the hang of it. Downshifting takes some finesse, but it too is doable with time and practice. What always blew my mind was the dump truck drivers who used a two lever "Brownie" shifter. They had to use both hands, with one arm through the steering wheel. Never figured that one out....
God Bless You Oldmanriding... LoL 😂 -- I've gotta' admit that when I was 15 and my Dad said meet us on the Grand Concourse (up in the Bronx)what he meant was it's about time you start learning how to throw some gears & drive without power steering ! It was kinda'my right of passage here in Brooklyn , NY -- 73 Mack R700 with Detroit & 13 speed Road ranger.....that was back in1982 and I haven't stopped driving them since !
Im been driving only 10 speed trucks, my truck is on the mechanic and I have to drive a 13 speed today get the job done. This video was really helpful and everything goes well so far.
All of us who run 9s 10s 13s and 18s giggle at the automatics on the hills with the rookies behind the wheels the automatics are good IF THE DRIVER SHIFTS PROPERLY.
Thank you for your superb demonstration Old Man Riding. I recently got a new trucking job and my shifting was rusty cause my last company went all-automatic with the fleet. After watching your video I literally shook the rust off within an hour.
@@oldmanriding Thank you 😊. I started driving professionally in 2008 and most manuals I've driven were always 10-speed. The only time I drove a 13-speed was during my training with CR England back in early '09. This new company (D&M Transportation) gave me a 13-speed Coronado and your demonstration helped a great deal with restoring the memory and timing. The automatic comment had me laughing 😆
FINALLY a video on how to properly drive a 13 speed. Cuz if I get that video of that overly pretty Mexican guy trying to drive a 13 speed one more time, I'm gonna throw up. Well done sir!! And the comment about the automatics, I love it!! Have a good day bud.

My Tundra is automatic because there wasn't a manual offered. I will eventually get a second vehicle which will be some classic convertible and It will be stick. I do drive in the button press shifitong mode, I cant stand for it to auto shift as it never does it when I want it to (or any car for that matter)
I would get tired of it if I still had to drive the 405 but my commute is all highway now and I'm not getting another automatic until they're so automatic that I can nap on the way to work.
correct me if im wrong but the red button is to activate maybe a second transmission, OR it changes the layout of the shifter so there isn't 13 different gears layed out on the dashboard until it goes to the passenger side
We have trucks with both. I have driven both A LOT. It doesn't make you less of a man to dive an automatic. Actually, they have some badass autos out there. It all comes down to application. A Stellar drop box truck benefits from an automatic when positioning boxes in tight quarters. In situations where many newbies drive a truck an auto will save u many a clutch brake (and clutch) in newbie city driving. It won't be long and automatics will dominate the trucking industry. The driver who bases his "manhood" on shifting is, in reality, insecure.
Sorry but I totally disagree..I drove stick until the injury and automatics almost like driving the car. The driver who bases his "manhood" on an automatic is the insecure 1..it is nothing to go from stick to auto, but I pity many a clutch when some "automatic" newbie gets behind even 10 speeds. And Allison, Borg, ZF and others have many a year research left until their "autos" can haul upwards of 120-160K lbs.
Wolf277 you obviously don't know anything about trucks. They have automatic trans for trucks that are rated much higher than your rear diff will handle. Allison's standard TC-10 automatic truck tranny is rated for 13,000 lb-ft of output torque and 110,000 gvw. And that's just their starting point. They will build their rugged series to whatever rating spec you need. And I've noticed that truckers who drive autos never base their manhood on their tranny. Gear grinder extremists are the ones with egos.
You are the 1 who started bat swinging with that "remark" in your last sentence. First, why don't we try and get some of your Allison figures straight since it's obvious you can't. The TC-10 1850-110 is their top end unit, NOT their starting point, which can handle up to 600Hp input and 110.000 lbs GCW NOT GVW. GCW is gross combined weight, so NO it cannot handle heavy haul 150-160k loads. And no, they don't " have automatic trans that are rated" for lets say an Eaton D52-190P..heavy haul still needs stick! It is nothing to go from a stick to an automatic..been there done that..13s and 18s to an auto..and it was a manual auto. Yes automatics have their place, such as buses, in-city and local delivery, fire engines but just like driving your everyday mode of transport, trying to drive a stick after doing an automatic, a long learning curve. And yes, I know QUITE a bit about trucks.
My dad had me driving a manual when I was 10. My first car was a 67 GTO. It was an automatic with a hurst dual gate shifter. Wasn’t a manual but it was fun. I’ve never driven a automatic truck. I guess I would. I’m a trucker. If it’s a truck I’ll drive it. I started on an old consolidated freight. So long ago I don’t remember it’s number of gears. Seems it was 7 it didn’t have a split. My first time down the vine I was in a 10 speed without jakes. Less than halfway down my brakes were smokin’ and my partner said “well Mark, get your foot of that pedal and start shiftin’ quick we’re goin’ for a ride.” That was a ride! I remember it was just fun. I’ve driven a lot of trucks with different transmissions. It’s been a fun drive 😊.
Finally someone who know how to shift a 13 correctly. It drives me crazy when guy pull the shifter out of gear push the red switch or overdrive forward then put it back in gear it is not how u do it. Eaton will tell u that. Hell the sticker on the dash if it's still there will tell u this. I like how u started the video with OK u want to drive a big truck but u want an automatic that's cute. 😂😂😂. If it were not for the automatic u couldn't find any steering wheel holders at all. Hell my 24 year old nephew can't even drive a standard shift car for Fuck sake.
J Cortes if your driving a 13 you can skip gears if your light or empty I do. Once you past 8th gear you can't it just lugs to much. Hope that answers question. Thanks for watching
oldmanriding thank you sir. I started off on an automatic. It was nice in town, then it broke down and they gave me a 10speed. Took me a few days to get it down. But I fell in love with it.
Heck yeah! My Dad taught me to drive in a ‘72 K100 with a 318 Detroit and a Spicer air shift 4 x 4, I was 15. When I turned 18 the first truck I drove had a Fuller 13 speed. No power steering; no AC; and no darn Allison automatics!

Oh yeah, I can count them.... I drive an 18 speed.
Heavy haul or just prefer the 18?
18 is same as 13 you can just spilt it the low side which is never really necessary unless your starting off on a huge grade
But do you count them numerically or
L/H like it’s supposed to be

The driver who bases his "manhood" on shifting is, in reality, insecure.
Sorry but I totally disagree..I drove stick until the injury and automatics almost like driving the car.
The driver who bases his "manhood" on an automatic is the insecure 1..it is nothing to go from stick to auto, but I pity many a clutch when some "automatic" newbie gets behind even 10 speeds. And Allison, Borg, ZF and others have many a year research left until their "autos" can haul upwards of 120-160K lbs.
Wolf277 you obviously don't know anything about trucks. They have automatic trans for trucks that are rated much higher than your rear diff will handle. Allison's standard TC-10 automatic truck tranny is rated for 13,000 lb-ft of output torque and 110,000 gvw. And that's just their starting point. They will build their rugged series to whatever rating spec you need. And I've noticed that truckers who drive autos never base their manhood on their tranny. Gear grinder extremists are the ones with egos.
You are the 1 who started bat swinging with that "remark" in your last sentence. First, why don't we try and get some of your Allison figures straight since it's obvious you can't.
The TC-10 1850-110 is their top end unit, NOT their starting point, which can handle up to 600Hp input and 110.000 lbs GCW NOT GVW. GCW is gross combined weight, so NO it cannot handle heavy haul 150-160k loads. And no, they don't " have automatic trans that are rated" for lets say an Eaton D52-190P..heavy haul still needs stick!
It is nothing to go from a stick to an automatic..been there done that..13s and 18s to an auto..and it was a manual auto. Yes automatics have their place, such as buses, in-city and local delivery, fire engines but just like driving your everyday mode of transport, trying to drive a stick after doing an automatic, a long learning curve. And yes, I know QUITE a bit about trucks.
Wolf277 they have rugged duty transmissions that have an unlimited torque rating...do your research
My favorite is the 13 but I do like the 16 ( 4x4 spicer ) but have driven a few 9’s and 10’s ! Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down !
Back at ya, thanks for watching
@Hello Dave how are you doing
@@lydiacapps709 wonderful and you ?
@@davekimbler2308 good thanks I hope we can get to know each other if you don’t mind
The amount of skills....... I will never achieve. Great video
Can't figure out my gear haha. Cool sir
abrahm sta.maria thanks for watching.
@@oldmanriding jjj
Fast and furious gearbox😂
awesome. Have to watch again.
My dad had me driving a manual when I was 10. My first car was a 67 GTO. It was an automatic with a hurst dual gate shifter. Wasn’t a manual but it was fun. I’ve never driven a automatic truck. I guess I would. I’m a trucker. If it’s a truck I’ll drive it. I started on an old consolidated freight. So long ago I don’t remember it’s number of gears. Seems it was 7 it didn’t have a split. My first time down the vine I was in a 10 speed without jakes. Less than halfway down my brakes were smokin’ and my partner said “well Mark, get your foot of that pedal and start shiftin’ quick we’re goin’ for a ride.” That was a ride! I remember it was just fun. I’ve driven a lot of trucks with different transmissions. It’s been a fun drive 😊.
It's nice to know there's alot of us old guys still out here. Automatic trans are going to be the normal soon, thanks for watching.
Nice t680
Awww 13 speed, that's cute - real men drive a twin stick 6x4 ;)
J/K thanks for the video!
Pretty cool, I learned on a 10 spd. Got stuck with a 13 so this was super helpful. I had no idea what the splitter did…
Thanks for watching
That sounds pretty nice
Fast and Furious cars be like:
Finally someone who know how to shift a 13 correctly. It drives me crazy when guy pull the shifter out of gear push the red switch or overdrive forward then put it back in gear it is not how u do it. Eaton will tell u that. Hell the sticker on the dash if it's still there will tell u this. I like how u started the video with OK u want to drive a big truck but u want an automatic that's cute. 😂😂😂. If it were not for the automatic u couldn't find any steering wheel holders at all. Hell my 24 year old nephew can't even drive a standard shift car for Fuck sake.
Steve Pilkington thanks for the flowers. Been driving 40 yrs should know by now , right.
I have a dumb question...I've only driven a 10speed. Do you have to split 5,6,7? Or could I go 5L,6L,7L, 8L,8H?? Am I making sense?
J Cortes if your driving a 13 you can skip gears if your light or empty I do. Once you past 8th gear you can't it just lugs to much. Hope that answers question. Thanks for watching
oldmanriding thank you sir. I started off on an automatic. It was nice in town, then it broke down and they gave me a 10speed. Took me a few days to get it down. But I fell in love with it.
J Cortes the ten speed is pretty much the best transmission. That's basically the same as the 13 without the overdrive.
Just got put in one today was used to the 8 and 10 this is easy thanks!
Heck yeah! My Dad taught me to drive in a ‘72 K100 with a 318 Detroit and a Spicer air shift 4 x 4, I was 15. When I turned 18 the first truck I drove had a Fuller 13 speed. No power steering; no AC; and no darn Allison automatics!
Did u start in second? I watched several times and counted 12 each time. Which one am I missing? Is shifting the high low switch considered a gear?
Guitar Nut yes I did start in second gear. Thanks for watching
He was in first but there is a low gear to the far left and down
Yes he started in second gear
Guitar Nut actually I started in first, there is a lower gear but according to the pattern they call it first. So there's actually 13 gears
Guitar Nut ,its 13 speeds,not gears . Low is the first forward speed and you pretty much always start in 2nd.
Can you make a video of downshifting from 13 speed all the way to the first gear.
Watch it in reverse
