Even coming over from regular flatbed the 3/8 chains vs the 5/16 chains you might be accustomed to....as well as them 3/8 binders are quite the beast as opposed to 5/16 binders. I only got a taste of that for like 2 weeks.

So i drove a ten speed and a 9 i see that the pattern is the same as a 9 speed just splitting the lows and highs my question is do you have to keep using the gear splitter goin down or can you just put it down and shift down that way

Disagree 100%. You’re so focused on a transmission. The difference between 80k and 117k is minimal. 117k isn’t even heavy haul. Guys that have never actually been a heavy hauler may consider it heavy haul. Guys that weigh more than 117k empty laugh at it. 117k can be pulled with a 9 speed if you have a good hand. Width, length and height are very important for you to get comfortable with before you start heavy hauling.

Well done sir. I learned a lot. I'm not a driver but I'm here because I want to learn 18-speed shifting in American Truck Sim. So, if your hauling heavy cargo, you want to split all 9 gears? And if you're empty, you can just do 1-8 without splitting? Is that right?

Hey this is great! Fascinating. I knew about the range selector but had no idea about the hi/low splitter. But I’ve never even been in a truck so I’m just curious. Maybe a stupid question, but since it wasn’t covered in your otherwise thorough video: those trucks have a clutch like a manual transmission car, correct? I’m assuming you’re pressing the clutch to shift between each gear, just not the hi/low split? Thanks!

Man only negative thing here is how early you are pre selecting... once you flip the range or gear splitter you engage it... you can actually feel it grinding... its terrible for the components. dont get me wrong..
