Just so all the younger guys know….. the REAL twin stick 18 speed is a 6 and a 3. Which is 6 speed main trans and a 3 speed auxiliary. What you see in this video is actually just a normal 18 speed with the gray button removed and transferred to an air switch mounted in the floor connected to a stick. This set up can be used on any transmission that has an air switch either for high and low range or a splitter. The reel to stick 18 speed had one transmission mount it to the engine, which was the six speed, then had a short drive shaft and a second transmission, which is a three speed then a long drive shaft that went to the drive axles. If you look underneath this truck in the video, you will simply see one transmission with one stick. There is no linkage to a second transmission.
I was going to ask, "Why?", but then I realized, "Because he can." No practical reason for this other than to impress those that don't know. Would love to see this gentleman take on a real twin stick 5 & 4 and start out at the bottom of a hill with a full load and see how far up it you get.
Nice Rig Brotha I always wanted to drive 18 speed never driven one I only drive a 10 speed Peterbilt lol Pretty cool Love the Videos Watching from Amarillo tx
It's a stick with the range selector moved to the dash and the splitter mounted on the floor with a broomstick on it. The 5&4 I learned on was a real twin stick. This is a joke.
Exactly correct. The right stick is moved and no shift takes place until he backs off the throttle to get enough float so the trans splits the gear. It's a Fuller Roadranger 18 for sure.
I actually want to drive a 5x4 myself... never had the opportunity but when I do get one I'll try to be sure to post it... this was a friend of mine truck that I work for
Awesome video Driver!! Truck sounds Awesome glad to see there’s still some drivers out there !! And that’s it !! Love it thanks for sharing! Be cool on the stool ! WHOOP & RIDE !!! We’re out !
@@pleasetakeasip4556 I just recently got to ride on one that had a Spicer box, I believe 6+4, it was bonkers tho and got to drive it around for like 2 hours...didn't think shifting could get anymore complicated lol
To all the people hating on it for not being a true twin stick, most of us realise the old proper twin sticks like Spicer boxes and this are not the same thing. If this is your thing then enjoy the vid. If it’s not, move on. Far too much negativity in this industry now as everyone seems to expect everyone to do it their way or it’s wrong. This guy has made a fun mod to his modern box to enjoy his driving. No one said you have to agree with it or like it.
PACCAR reports over 80% of all new trucks ordered from them are Being ordered with automated transmissions. BECAUSE young new drivers dont know how to shift a heavy simi transmission properly and the big companies are tired of the extra expense of replacing clutches burnt up while these drivers learn. !
Yea, but how long have you been teaching? Exactly. IDK what the second stick ACTUALLY does. He NEVER explained it. IDK what high/low meant. NEVER explained. There's a reason for truck driving school. You CAN'T teach this 2 or 3 minutes.
Now your trucking. Too cool for old school. I first learned on a two stick, then I got a Road Ranger. Then I got a 9 speed. Then a got a freaking automatic. Then, I gave up and retired.
I like the concept. But you’re making work for yourself! It was designed for all the functions to happen on the gearshift for a reason. I’d like to see you with a 65t gross in the hills changing gears with that setup!
Thanks bro for the observations but it was NOT my truck and the load I had on was heavy but I am not so stupid to say how much... my only intention was to show someone else how to shift a setup like this if they so happen to run across one 👍
In all honesty M8! It wouldn’t take long to work it out if “A Driver” had to get in there and work it out. I was in fact having a light dig at how much of a wank it was to have a modern gearbox set up like that! And BTW you would have been lucky to be Grossing 30t. Just saying
That means the other sticks is the splitter? Is that just kind of an older version due to the 18 speed with just one stick (including splitter and range selector)?
Kids today have no idea. How trucking used to be. 1st truck was a 1951 dodge duce and a half. Ex navy. Then i moved up to a 1959 ih, not much diff, maybe a little more power around 200. Concrete mixer with a 5 over 3 and another 3 speed stick for the mixer. Niw that was a truck. Several more over the years but, non as much fun as the esrly ones.
Ya well I’m here to say the truck he’s driving is not a twin stick it’s a standard 18spd with a stupid stick as the splitter it’s a joke most of these so called truck drivers couldn’t run a set of box’s if there life depended on it
An 18 speed is a single transmission. All this is is moving the convenience of the air valves being in a common place on the shift nob to the dash and a second stick as a novelty. A true twin stick is truly two separate transmissions. As more and more trucks become automatic you'll eventually see people hook long sticks to automatics as a novelty 😂
U can shift 5 gears with first shift and flip high switch on the dash shift last 4 without going back to the lo hole and every gear can be split with right shift... lol
You (or someone) took the air switches off the main shift lever and mounted the range selector on the dash and the hi/lo switch on a second lever? That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why would you do that?
Love these splitter kits, I installed these in both my W900L and 379EH Peterbilt, I grew up on twins and tri stick and this is a neat nostalgic toy. Not to mention a mild anti theft device lol.
Funny how the flip flop generation wants to go back to the past, but couldn't deal with it in real life. I learned on a 5x4, no A/C, arm strong steering, shutter stats and a wig wag.
It's amazing to me that you mislead the general public. There is no such thing as a two stick modern 18 speed trans. This is just a kit installed to take the air controls off the main stick.
No offence mate but that is not a real twin stick setup as in a gearbox mated with an aux box from the old days. That’s just a gear leaver replacing a splitter knob. Nice but not the real thing pal from Australia.
The objective in this video was to show how to shift an 18 speed with twin or (2) sticks ik that it's not an actual 6x4 or 5x4 or even an old 2 stick mack...but it actually was an 18 speed 1stick converted to 2 levers
@@kenmorgan7947 a bit cleaver in the description mate making it sound like a real twin stick. I think that is what’s getting up people noses.

That is not a twin stick You’ve just shown how to drive an ordinary 18 speed that everyone can already drive but you’ve made the switch 4 feet long and mounted it to the floor It does not look “wild and crazy” You’re not doing anything different at all

This is a 18 speed with your air splitter on a stick instead of a button. That is not a auxiliary transmission.
That Floatin' Was Smooth!

They have never been a 2 stick 18 speed sorry to bust your bubble

Hi brotha trucker. Greetings from an opposite site of the Globe collegue. Wish you peace as well as to all people in tha World. Доброго пути, брат. ✌️
This is a skill all its own I tip my hat to you

Nice work! You make it look too easy 👍💯👍
Love that turbo whistle
Smooth, 👍
Smooth.
Real smooth!!
Bless to find out these videos,
What happened to the up shift before down shifting? Excellent setup you have there, thanks for sharing your time and video.
Great video !
This is cool as hell man 🔥🔥
What makes this ridiculous ignorant nonsense cool?? Please tell me, I’m dying to know why this is impressive to you.
Smooth smooth job, my brother. Floated through sll of them with nary a scrape. I didn't count them off but think you started in 2L or Granny .
You made that make some much sense! So it the samething just without the buttons
Yes
No thief would ever try to steal that truck 😅 Nice shifting Sir
Thanks 👍
The right shift lever acts the same as the gray splitter button on the normal 18spd shift lever

Exactly correct. The right stick is moved and no shift takes place until he backs off the throttle to get enough float so the trans splits the gear. It's a Fuller Roadranger 18 for sure.
That's just a air solenoid with a shift lever attached 😂, I wanna see him drive a 5×4 two stick
I actually want to drive a 5x4 myself... never had the opportunity but when I do get one I'll try to be sure to post it... this was a friend of mine truck that I work for
He would not know what a 5 and 4 was it it runs over him
Awesome job driver, skills pay the bills.
🤣🤣 yea doing twice the amount of work for the same pay
when you flip the high low switch are you going to where second would be or reverse?
It looks kewl each there own
I learned to drive on a Mack Quadraplex. We shifted very different from that
So basically the right shifter acts like a splitter on a super 10?
Damn you made that look easy
It was easy..🤦🏻♂️. You apparently have NO clue what a real two stick does. This is fake wanna b stupidity.
Great job! I think that your trucks transmission is as easy as shifting an Eaton Fuller 10-speed transmission.
That's some smooth shifting 👍

We’re out !
And here was me thinking a 10 speed was kinda hard...this is just something else haha, tons of skill here
I’d say 18 are easier than a 10 timing on the gears aren’t so far apart you literally just pull it straight into the next gear
