No wonder the I-shift is the most coveted transmission. That is amazing at how the trans works and how much the computer can help make you a better driver. This is a Great Series. Thanks Gregg and Jonathan

I used to drive to a White Freight Liner ,1974 , the last time I drove was in the1995+ . My own truck had a 13 Etonian , straight gears . I first started driving a 1965 + or - . Had 5 speed , 2 1-2 ton truck , it had a split rear end . I had a friends dad have and is son drive his truck. It was cab over , like mine , it had a small block 350 Cummings and it had been turned up . I was not a were of it ,it would get 4 miles a gallon , and that was with 80,000 .The Mack had 400 and away different shift , It had 4-4-3 .It had Mack trans , the 4-4 was MACK that was put to gather, if I was a air shift , and the other 3 where in rear end , not like a electric rear end , like in Dodge , it had shifter , you not only a 16 , you had a total of 48 gears . My truck had 4 : 11 gears , I don't remember the stock on the MACK . What is interesting the DETROIT we're in the beginning was all 2 stork Diesel , in the last , I think the made a 4 stroke in 6 and in 4 inline , not shore know now, that are great now, put out a bout 400 hp. They are great for pulling 5 wheelers in camping trailers, not Sure what Model they are in . In all 2 stroke had a supercharger, even 2 & 3 cylinders , glad they went in to 4 cycling .

Hey Gregg, great videos on Volvo trucks, the only thing you didn't cover that I am still questioning, is if these trucks are offered with 4 wheel drive?

Hello. There is a 4 wheel drive option from the factory, yet be aware it add quite a bit of height to the rig. You will need to stay with the shorter sleeper heights, and it is possible.

You don't need 4 wheel drive with a Volvo
