[@boydhudson1565]

Best description I’ve heard so far. I’m going from auto to standard. Struggling with down shifting. Thank you

[@Kilowatt_379]

Hopefully you picked it up

[@mikerice1848]

Your blessing to the 18 speed instructional videos my dude. I haven't even got in a 18 speed yet and you make this clear enough to understand the process mentally. Blessings and big ups to your success in trucking.

[@kasnaiboa]

Men you make the most clear explaning videos i had see, keep making them Thank you Bro

[@Kilowatt_379]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@itsoffsafety925]

What separates average from great drivers is attention to details. Awesome detailed video. Explanation is on point. Experienced drivers who share knowledge and wisdom is priceless! Great video and stay safe out there driver !!

[@kendaking1402]

You do the best instructional videos on upshifting and down shifting. You show the H/L range and actually using the splitter. Most talk about actions, but don’t actually explain and show action like you do. Thank a million & happy trails 🤠

[@Kilowatt_379]

I appreciate your comment 🙏🏾 means a lot

[@cbradiomizfit7562]

Brother the best two videos on upshifting and downshifting an 18 are on your channel. Well done

[@Kilowatt_379]

I appreciate you brother 🤙🏾

[@howardnicholas1722]

I'm a first timer to his channel and yes both videos are well explained and camera well positioned..

I couldn't agree more. I now know how to upshift and downshift an 18 speed ;-D

[@AS-zj2zn]

I can’t stop watching his video I’m watching it almost every day once or twice. Can you believe that

[@typhoon420]

Watched a lot of videos to learn that how to do up n down shifting but all ended up with confusion, this is best description for anyone thanks mate

[@meaganfilteau9751]

Thank you for helping me with down shifting and splitting gears!! This video is exactly what I needed. 😁

[@Kilowatt_379]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@eyonnealchristmas3974]

You are awesome. Thanks for filming this video. It really helped me understand how to downshift and skip gears in an 18 speed transmission. Have a fantastic day 🙂.

[@saturnoL]

Thank you so much! This is the one and only video out there of how to split downshifting!! Awesome thanks a lot

[@normankrauss9167]

Thanks for taking the time to break things down to where I (an automatic user) can understand way better how to shift a 18-speed.

[@mikegalloway413]

OUTSTANDING video my friend. I had my cdl back in 2010. I'm going to get it back and go otr. Just trying to brush up on things THANK YOU so much great video!

[@Revan_the3rd]

Honestly your video is the one helping me the most right now. A lot of other videos they are not driving or talking about the rpm’s let alone the reving. Shift pattern is simple.

[@PaulAmico-fd8xl]

Sir, That was an excellent lesson on 18 speed downshifting. Very thorough and understandable.

[@javierbarrazacruz18]

Thank you. Just started learning how to drive a 18 speed, this was really helpful!

[@theopenroad3650]

Very helpful videos man for shifting. I never learned how to drive a manual so this will greatly help me i just have to practice now lol

[@blanchardmakiese2636]

Thanks for the clear explanation you gave to me. Downshifting was kind of tricky but now I am goog to go. Again, thanks bro!

[@Kilowatt_379]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@christophermichael5849]

Fantastic video! As a newbee it takes time to sync your throttle foot with the up/down shifting. Day 5 with the 18 speed Pete day cab side dump trailer is tomorrow. Feel more confident now. Thank you for your help!

[@BlakFootSamurai]

Also true. Can be more tricky with engine brake on

[@daverobichaud117]

Your explanation of the process of downshifting with the spliter is very comprehensible . I am a truck driver and that's how it's done! You may want to point out the different types of spliters, not just the 18 speed (grey splitter )but also 13 speed with( red splitter)and 13 speed (deep reduction blue splitter)

[@isaaccilo8748]

I haven't yet watched the full video but I've heard how well he's explaining everything. Thank you, the most helpful video I've found after hundreds of clicks on KZbin

[@richardkautz2947]

I don't drive a truck but I'm a gear head and I dig your videos on driving these trucks ! 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@user-ch2ud4ok6b]

Great explanation on shifting an 18 speed. Made it so simple I even got it. Thanks my friend. Stay safe out there.

Again sir, you have explained this very well. Can't wait to learn how to drive an 18 speed. I currently drive a 13 speed. Thank you

[@rons215mg9]

Keep going on what you do mate ! I like the explain. Waiting for more vids , best regards mate

[@BlakFootSamurai]

I learned how to drive an 18 speed in a heavy wrecker. Best explanation by far. Better than the people who taught and not teach. As another comment stated- knowing how much of your foot to lift off of the throttle. As I found out tricky to do it when you have the engine brake on also. Coordination, practice, time and knowing your truck (sweet spot for RPM's).

[@brianedwards7133]

I just got a job driving a heavy wrecker and I’m also going to be driving a 18 speed for the first time. Watching all that I can prior

[@diesel81937]

Great videos man again once again thank you I just have a question I’m a driver who refers to my RPMs on speed a lot I’m switching to a 13 speed can you make a video or something just to let me know what speeds I should be in for each gear upshifting and downshifting that would help me out tremendously I think I got it from your videos I think I learned a lot about shifting but just in case if I lose the gear I just want to know what speed I should be at and what gear that would help me out a lot man thank you

[@elyeyi369]

Great and precise instructions bro 🙏🏽 when youre splitting downshift, do you wait until youre at the bottom of the gear to rev it up? For example if im in 16th gear and want to split down, do i wait for the rpm to be in the 11 to 12 range before i throttle up?

[@geoffreytan6393]

My dude, thank you so much, peace!

Big help my brother keep up the good teaching . What should I do I have a 2022 Pete 389 18 speed but iam having hard time controlling the shifting

[@whitedawwn]

Thanks very good video was wandering whenever you do the reving for the downshift is it giving it gas or just reving it until you put it in the next gear ?

[@elporkyltx489]

Awesome content!

[@Kilowatt_379]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@joepiscoglio1238]

Hi great video. My question what is the front splitter switch for and when do you use the front splitter or is that a high and low range for shifting?

[@tporter7597]

Much appreciated... Very helpful.... Would have been the icing on the cake if you would mention rpm in relation to your shifting...thanks all the same

Good video,l have a question at what RPM do you down shift and upshift god bless you my friend.

[@user-VYKING-MUSIC.FBWC.]

Bro you are rite🔥🔥🔥🔥 they is to know the gear for the speed you are going.

[@user-zk9mu8wf5c]

Thanks player I never could get this

[@Geekue2Smuv]

My friend and I just graduated class and we’d like to see a demonstration of where the RPMs should be when downshifting. For example we were taught in a 10 speed felt like we were ready for the world until faced with the dilemma of job day and being turned down because we had to relearn what we were taught with 18 speed so can we get a demonstration of where your RPMs should be when downshifting please brotha thanks so much God Bless

[@braulioramirez8141]

[@RussP357]

great video i was wondering if you were splitting gears on down shift video took care of that question been driving 9 speed for 25 years going on drive test soon for new job 18 speed this help aton thanks

Found it. Ty sir

[@RUSHTHEMKARMA]

this vedio is the best

[@javisferron2147]

In your demonstration when you was dry shifting down,I noticed the high range shifter was down when you was in the last gear but you was driving you never once touched the high range until you got to the 5th gear
