Freightliner classic xl Detroit 60 series, 13 speed Eaton fuller ride along. Shifting, exhaust, jake

[@Scottie-cb7ep]

You make it look so easy, like driving the family mini van. If at all possible I always let the big trucks over, by flashing my lights to let them know it's ok to change lanes. I get the biggest thrill when they flash all their lights to say "Thank You". I giggle!! Love the big trucks...

[@otrookie]

With time anything can be made to look easy! Thank you for sharing the road with us Scottie!

[@whitetiger8652]

You are a true professional, hope you never change your attitude about driving safe.

[@otrookie]

Thank you very much!

[@freightdog611]

Nice tutorial for those of us who've only ever shifted a 10 speed. Loving all your content, Rasim! Keep putting them out and I'll keep watching!

[@kevinhenson5942]

That's one of the best camera angles I've seen. Nice video, man.

[@emailsemails1369]

It is the best I've ever seen to .

[@otrookie]

Glad you like it! Thanks Kevin

[@taz122008]

Welcome to Jersey, where no one wants to get stuck behind the truck!

[@arrowkart4j]

Welcome to New Jersey my friend. I know those roads very well. I live in Millburn Short hills off of route 78, you went blowing right past me.👍👍👍👍

[@jerrybreu5997]

Now that you have mastered shifting, Rent or build a nice little place for you to clean truck's, etc. you do a very great job @ that, cheers.

[@otrookie]

Wish I could find more trucks! I’d love to do that

[@MrBusdriver63]

Excellent Video Rasim, very well done, mate, excellent gear shifting technique.

[@otrookie]

[@otrookie]

No, thank you! For always commenting and supporting, you’re greatly appreciated! No worries I’ll get that heavy haul hill pull exhaust sometime!

[@tjhwltt3]

Never get the big city attitude. Just sit back and go for a ride. You can't race anyone but yourself. Professional is the word of everyday.

[@austin_94gt18]

Absolutely love these kinds of videos!!!

[@jamesgannaka.awesome9628]

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I wondered if your Classic was Detroit powered. I've only ever owned 1 60 series, a 12.7L in a 2001 Freightliner FLD12064ST. It had a Super 10 "top 2" trans and 3.73 rears. It wasn't a bad engine, but, it seemed like the peak torque and power hit about 500 rpm higher than my Cummins M11 Celect-Plus. The Cummins was only rated @ 370 hp while the Detroit was rated @ 500. Torque for both was 1750. The Cummins is in a 95 FLD120 that I still own. The trans and rears in both trucks were the same. The 95 would out pull the newer truck from a start and on hills with an identical load. The Detroit did get better fuel economy though. I traded the newer one in late 2005 for my 06 Classic XL. I went back to Cummins at the same time and haven't looked back. As I said before though, Detroits aren't bad, I just prefer Cummins power.

[@davewhite5258]

They should still be making the Classic and so many others instead of some of the crap they make nowadays, keep on keeping on bud, you got a good channel here

[@otrookie]

Yea I guess new age classic is a Coronado, probably my favorite truck out of the new rigs nowadays. Just something about it opposed to Pete or Kenworth’s

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

They should still be building a lot of things instead of the crap available today! Cascadias aren't bad, we own 2 of them. We also own a Coronado glider that was built from the drivetrain of a wrecked Classic XL. It was the fraternal twin to my Classic-one # different in the VIN and the paint job was opposite of mine. We also still own the first tractor that I ever bought-a 95 FLD12064ST. It's a backup unit. All are Cummins powered. The Cascadias have automatics, the Coronado has a 13 over and the 120 has a Super 10. All have 3.73 rears. I recently checked out an SD122. Nice truck, but, to me, it needs external breathers. I'll just keep my 06 Classic XL. My wife named her "The Mistress" years ago but they get along fine lol! She has a Cummins ISX 15, 13 over, 3.73 rears and ALL the bells and whistles!

[@alpzepta]

Cascadia? I would call it Crapcadia I would rather drive a Mercedes-Benz Actros than Germanised Freightliner Crapcadia

[@ChiBluez]

Holy Moly! Serious shifting. I got lost which gear your in with all the switch here, click there, slide that, pull, flick, tug, spit! Maybe call out the gears sometime. Thanks!

[@Bjd79]

Cool camera view.

[@zaidchalabi1599]

is the steering play being that much is normal in long nose trucks ? i feel like its a bit much

[@otrookie]

It’s not even bad I think it looks like it on video

[@zaidchalabi1599]

@@otrookie ah okay get it checked just to be 100% i have same truck and i feel its tighter i got 16” steering so maybe it moved differently thoguh

[@stephenrankin4953]

Pretty sure I just passed you on 70 by the scales before Indiana. White Peterbilt pulling an RGN there are three of us

[@otrookie]

Haha sure was! It’s awesome when people recognize me, thanks for saying hello! Stay safe out here

[@stephenrankin4953]

OTRookie thanks man! We’re on site to unload in West Virginia. Super glad I caught you in traffic for a sec to talk to you. Made my day!

[@otrookie]

Y’all are hauling some serious loads, as far for me I’m heading to New Jersey, only a few pallets of oil however. Yea for sure it’s awesome indeed, at first I was like what is this guy staring at haha Keep them wheels turning Stephen

[@peterlopez5435]

Looks like a very tight squeeze going into the toll booth.

[@ronp.731]

nice camera angle

[@grilledmortal4096]

Holy Smokies

[@seeid9435]

👍✌️

[@cbro777]

What a shame he didn't have a closer angle on the camera.

[@dillonfloro7407]

Looks like your knees were about to hit the steering wheel I have a big peterbilt I sit low where you can barely see my head I got an 18 speed I don't know what I'm saying I'm bored I like your videos how do you do the KZbin stuff always wanted to know how

[@davewhite5258]

Lets see your Pete sometime there fella

[@otrookie]

Would love a low rider seat for sure. And a nice legacy to throw in there, probably in the future!

[@dillonfloro7407]

I run New Mexico and Arizona

[@otrookie]

Dillon Floro what did you mean by how I do KZbin

[@dillonfloro7407]

How do you start it

[@truckingjamaicans5045]

More vids

[@chrisbennett1701]

Sometimes u just got to take it I don't like it but that's how it is sometimes

[@matthewritchie3595]

You got some really low rpms I don't shift that low. 1000rpm is basically lugging the engine. 1300-1600 is the range everyone should be shifting at

[@jacobboris9415]

Stop shifting fast killing the motor
