Keep light pressure on the stick shift before you shift, so when you let off on the accelerator the stick will slide out of gear and into the next gear quicker and better timed with the engine RPM Nice Truck, its really gonna make your job easyer

@cornishlad975 жыл бұрын
Tokatt The US trucks do not have sincro-meshed transmissions like a normal manual car that you or I drive every day. The sincro-mesh allows you to move the shifter from any gear to any gear without having to worrying about matching engine and transmission speeds (this is to put it simply!). With a non synchro-meshed transmission the driver has to do the work that the synchromesh does in a normal car of matching shaft speeds. So basically without a synchromesh you have to match the engine and gearbox speeds regardless of whether the clutch is in or not so you may as well just not use it. Rev to the top of one gear, lift of the throttle and move the shifter to neutral then push the shifter into the next gear when the revs fall to the correct point. Tricky to get the hang of I know! The manuals are mostly made by Eaton fuller and mostly come in 9,13 and 18 speed variants. But they each shift in a standard 5 speed gear box patterns just stacked on top of each other with different gear ranges. So in a 9 speed you start in low range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then shift to high range and back to 2, 3, 4, 5 and there’s your 9 gears. For the 13 and 18 speeds this pattern is the same but the 13 speed the high range 4 gears are each split in half and an 18 speed both high and low range gears are split. It’s a big job and a learning curve to drive these trucks! Hope this helps!

@bradchandler69673 жыл бұрын
I just stumbled across this video, and it's the first one of yours I've watched. I'm a 72 yr. old guy, been around trucks and equipment my whole life, owned and operated triaxles, dump trailers, lowbeds, road tractors, and owned several backhoes, excavators, and dozers, and done all my own maintenance. So that being said, I wanted to offer you some corrective information. You referred to that Jake brake as an exhaust brake, but that's not what it is. It's an engine brake, which uses the engine's compression to slow the truck down, as opposed to an exhaust brake that blocks off the exhaust. The brake you have, and is a Jake brake, opens the exhaust valve just before it gets to the top of the compression stroke, thus relieving the compression just before it reaches the point at which it detonates. So what it's doing is slowing the engine down by using the compression just before it fires and makes power. That sound you hear in the exhaust is that compression being released. The older Cummins like yours have 3 seperate cylinder heads, that why that 2,4,6 switch. The Jake brake was invented by the Jacobs Manufacturing Co., the same one that makes the Jacobs chucks on drills. That was I think back in the 50's or thereabouts. They offered it to Clessy Cummins, one of the Cummins engine family, and he rejected the idea, so Jacobs started making them, and the rest is history. One more unrelated thing you didn't mention about that 8LL transmission, is that on that truck, I believe there should be an air switch on the dash somewhere labeled "deep reduction". That gives you all your gears in a very low ratio which is great for crawling around off road in a dump truck. Ok, that's all I wanted to say. Trying to be helpful, not arrogant !! Someone else may have already told you these things, but I didn't read all the comments.

Some old skool drivers swear by not using the clutch. If you know how to do it, it CAN be smoother than using the clutch, as speed can be lost in clutching, but it can wear out the transmission faster if you don’t do it right. The clutch is there for a reason, and not only for starting. Starting from a stop is the only time you put the clutch all the way to the floor.

@jimnickles23476 жыл бұрын
Oh Shit! Hey, I just saw a Potential Killer, Andrew! Your truck does not have an Exhaust Brake, it has a Genuine By-God Three-Stage Jacobs Engine Brake. This the Very BEST you can get. The Killer is, your Clutch switch is not adjusted correctly, that is why the Jake kills the engine when you're in Neutral. It is up at the top of the clutch pedal, under the dash, and it has a little bendy antenna-spring-looking-thing that contacts the clutch pedal. It is adjusted too tight. Your engine SHOULD Idle with the Jake Turned On. I will explain how this can Kill you, Learned it The HARD Way. I was coming off a hill with 47 tons of coal, and coming down a steep to a 90-degree Left. Halfway through the curve, the transmission Jumped Out of Fourth gear, and the Jake Killed the engine. INSTANT Runaway. To make it Worse, Paystars have FULL Power Steering, and when the engine dropped dead the power steering died too. Without the engine running Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't steer that thing. The ONLY way you can cut the wheel without the engine running is to put your left leg up on the A-pillar to give yourself something to Push Against, and if you notice, there ain't enough ROOM to get your leg up. Long story short, I somehow managed to Kick In my Driver Magic and Get Out of THAT One by the Skin of my Teeth and the Grace of God. I will say, it took me half an hour to get my anus to Let Go of the Seat Cushion so I could get out and pee, and I farted foam for a Week. PLEASE Go Out Right NOW and adjust that switch Correctly, just back it off just enough that the engine will idle by itself with the Jake Brake ON. So I can SLEEP. This same Truck I was driving had run away with a previous driver, and he didn't know what happened, he just Bailed out, and let it Go. It ran off into the cliff and ground the whole driver's door and fender off. Saw the Tarper, and you REALLY need to move your Selector switch for the Hi-Range Up on the front or right side of the stick where your fingers can reach it easily, shifting will be MUCH Better.

That doesn't sound right , if you adjust the clutch bypass to where it idles in neutral with the clutch released then the Jake brake would not engage in gear either.. because the clutch is released and your adjustment kills the Jake brake. For what you are describing to work right, you'd need a couple of other sets of switches on the shiftier to disable the Jake with the gear lever in neutral. In total the system would have 5 switches to disable the exhaust brake, one for the clutch pressed, one for the throttle pressed; then one for the clutch released which would run thru two switches on the shift lever for the gear lever tipped forward and tipped back. You'd need the tree extra switches to allow the first clutch switch to disable the exhaust brake when the truck is in gear and the clutch is pressed.

If something like that we’re to happen common sense would be to slam it back in to gear and let it restart itself Or a high enough gear to help stop itself with the brakes. You would still have air in the system. Still have brakes Just saying. Also to 47 tons as a load I call bs especially in a 10 wheeler.

Hey Andrew, I'm sure you've caught on to shifting this beast just fine by now and there's probably a ton of great advice in the comments. I couldn't help but drop one more here that has stuck with me from my crop hauling days: don't use the whole palm of your hand to push the shifter forward into gear. Instead rest your palm on the top of the shifter or use your fingers to push it forward. What can happen is that it can slip out of gear just as you apply power and violently force itself backward. I was lucky enough to just snap the top off the shifter when it happened to me, instead of breaking my wrist!

Wow. Another outstanding video. Do you do all the editing yourself? I love how when you are fixing something you talk about it, let us see you screwing or unscrewing the at the start of the process, but then speed up the video. Just enough time showing what the heck is going on and needs to be done without killing us with unbolting or bolting something for 40 minutes. Also, you shine with narrating what your are about to do or when you describe your own learning curve. You sir are a "master manipulator" (in a totally good and positive respect I might add). You have an amazing ability to keep the audience's attention while getting the job done at the same time. That take major skills to do that. I saw that the video was an hour long. I said to myself, there is no way I'm hanging around for a whole hour to watch this. One hour later, I'm typing this comment. Keep the videos coming young man!

I was 17 when I first learned to drive a ten speed. I upshifted at 19 hundred and downshifted at 21/22 hundred. Later when I worked for a sound company I drove a Peterbuilt 17 speed road ranger at 21. I started running a backhoe at 14. Later in life I rented a track hoe and tracked loader to relandscape my yard. The contractor across the street doing a foundation pad came over one afternoon and said it looked like I knew what I was doing. I’ve always loved gizmos from planes to zero turn lawnmowers. Take care!

Congratulations on the new truck, it's a work horse by design and looks like it was well maintained. Great job with the video and the explanation of your progression to a bigger truck. As always a little drone footage and close up repair work throw in, very well done. I wish you many thousands of trouble free miles knowing you will maintain it and as a bonus it enhances your business image with a good looking 10 wheeler. 2 thumbs up Andrew, enjoy all your videos, and was really looking forward to this one after the teaser shot of it a while ago !!

The comments on double clutching. I drove way over 3 million miles maybe 4. Floating gears and it wasn't hard to learn. It saves your leg from cramping up and I could concentrate on my surroundings.

I drove a 5 speed truck for FedEx. Spicer 5 speed and at first, I was dumbfounded as to why I wouldn't go from 1st to second after clutch in and attempting to shift. Learned how to double clutch and that worked great. Once I got to know the machine, even without a tach, floating came pretty easy after that. Just takes a little practice

It’s been a year, you probably already know. You have double clutch. There’s so much weight on that transmission you have to disengage the clutch to release the gear and then re-engage the clutch, allowing it to match the speed of the engine so it matches the next gear. The speed of the truck will prevent you from getting in to gears to high or too low. It takes some time to get a feel for it.

Now I understand that was far more satisfying than a computer screen...

Looks like a nice truck! It might help to move your range selector up higher on the shifter. The way you shift without the clutch is called floating gears. You can also double clutch. Push in the clutch once, pull the shifter into neutral, push the clutch in again and put it into gear. Takes some practice!
