The 60 inch spread is Ontario spec's, if you want to have enough axle capacity in BC go with 69,000lb tri drive, in Alberta they run Sisu axles in tri drive.

[@iBackshift]

Oh really love it having a stick shift still. Nowadays its rare to see a walk though show and see a clutch pedal. The 4spd Aux shifter looks like a good ol' spicer 16 speed knob. That truck is MINT! ! !

[@SteveCarbone]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bobbyhorn7059]

Had to watch this again, imagine 2spd rears under it it would have gears for days.

[@SteveCarbone]

yep

[@tituspullo1957]

Next one he builds will have three sticks.Main transmission with two auxiliaries.I saw the same B model Mack at a couple of truck shows here in Pa.If I remember right the owner said it had a 5 x 4 x 4 from the factory.The main trans and the first auxiliary were bolted together then a driveshaft to the second auxiliary which was mounted at least 3ft. behind the cab.If that doesn't make a truck driver out of you nothing will.

[@MrRMT1986]

A 72-speed transmission!?!?

[@AttainingExcellence1]

Yes I like to know more about it, I been in the truck business for long time and hear about no 72 speed 🤔

[@OscarMikeF150]

18 speed with a 4 speed alternate. The 4 speed is like have 4 different differentials you can runout 18 speeds in. Great for long hill climbs with super heavy loads where you get the odd reduction in grades and can pick up a couple of gears that you wouldn’t be able to do with a str8 18 speed.

[@hotrodrigs1]

Yes,that transmission is the Best. Last We had was a 13speed with a 4speed air auxiliary. Badass

[@shortthrow50]

TOTOYO 3.0 listening isn’t your strong suit is it? He clearly said it’s a 18 speed with 4 speed auxiliary

[@SteveCarbone]

18 in aux 1, 18 in aux 2, 18 in aux 3, and 18 in aux 4.

[@c165vin]

I love the spread and the long 5th wheel slide. I also agree with the heavy axle with the pumps. This is a real nice heavy duty haul tractor. The pusher axle is perfect with the super single. A truck after my own heart ,18sp with a 4sp auxiliary, no 2sp rear? Does the front tires extend out past the front fenders? I'm a big fan of your special order trucks.

[@oldpete3153]

Will soon wish there were rubber splash & spray extentions on the front fenders.

Why would you put the controls for the lift axle outside the cab especially if he going into cold weather up north

That's actually law in some states. Maryland being one that is strict about it. They do not allow interior lift axle controls. Stupid I know.

Straight stacks would have really added to the look

Do you guys spec heavier than this in the states? From what ive seen 46,000lb rears are big over there. Standard spec in Aus for a "heavy haul" roadtrain/float truck would be 52,000lb rear and if we want heavy duty we go 6 rod springs over bags. Rated GCM of a truck like that would be 310,000lb in your money.

[@SteveCarbone]

I have done some 52 rears but our road and bridge laws are so different from yours is why you dont see many

@@SteveCarbone Yeah some of your guys stuff seems so odd to us, plus your lowboys. I mean we go for ramps and hydraulic widening trailers, seems so much simpler than dropping goose-necks all day.

[@XXX-qk2cq]

Doesn’t apply here but why do some of your custom builds have dummy stacks with working under truck exhaust? Is it an emissions thing or something? How could an owner drive around with a super custom with extended stacks that don’t work????????? Just binge watching now, been subbed awhile.......

[@abramspearman9046]

When they have it like that it is because they opted for the after treatment to be horizontal instead of being in a box. It is generally to have a lower profile step box compared to if they had it in a box.

[@SteveCarbone]

#1 reason is to have the look of the battery box under the passenger door. #2 Fake stacks that dont get hot are super easy to clean and a light inside is kinda cool

[@37903abc]

What makes a heavy haul truck Heavy haul on the door? Extra tire axl.? Just wondering.

[@midwestbd7144]

The tires, axles, frame, pusher, engine, transmission, 4 speed rear ends, literally everything.

[@SteveCarbone]

Good question!

[@Stephen-carr]

Basic heavy haul spec is 46k lbs axles. From there it's options to add to it like double frame or a tag axle. All but 1 of my trucks are heavy haul spec. And we made it heavy haul to keep them the same. But running tru axle dumps we have to have it to haul the weight.

Peterbilt Steve what I was trying to say is your terminology is geared for truckers, do you not want us regular folks to watch your channel?

[@Saladon89]

should i get this heavy haul option if im doing regular flatbed with the occasional wide/heavy load?

[@miker7798]

So all the comments on 72 gears being "too much" or picturing running from 1 to 72.... I never drove a set up like that but I see it as multiple ranges for a wide variety of conditions. Deep down torque for an oil field combined with 75 MPH cruze on the interstate to get it there. The old 15 Road rangers had deep reduction. You could use all 5 deep reduction gears delivering on a construction site. Or if pulling away with a heavy load rin 1, 2, 3 in deep reduction. Then shift up into low but then you would go back to 2 low... and even then you needed to blip the throtte a bit to match revs because it was only a 1/2 gear up....
