How to shift an 18 speed | 625 hp Peterbilt 379 | Cat 6nz

[@Bushbro9]

Top notch editing again Marv 🫡🫡 it must be hard syncing both cameras to the audio, and you absolutely aced it🫡

[@presy_jay]

Mannnnn.... let me tell you! If my viewers only knew how difficult it is to edit a video using multiple cameras, I wouldn't even have to ask them to like, comment, or share these videos. It's a very tedious process. Just this 33 minute long video took me about 7 hrs to edit. That's the main reason why I started keeping my videos under 45 minutes. Between youtube's algorithm stifling (and not pushing my longer content), and my viewers not really understanding how important the engagement is, I decided to stop doing those hour long videos. But anyway... Thanks for recognizing the efforts I put into these videos. Greatly appreciated 🫡

[@Bushbro9]

I appreciate all the hard work you put into these vids. I love hearing that 6NZ roar😎 thanks for the pin by the way🫡

[@presy_jay]

@@CowgirlintheSand2 If youtube's algorithm was a little kinder to my longer content, you've discovered my channel a few months ago. Appreciate the sub 🫡

[@Lightbrite0114]

Used to run to Chicago to the rail yards with my pops back in the late 90s in his W900. Never drove myself but that passenger seat never got old. These videos take me back those 25 years. Love the content sir, keep it up.

[@thorsflipflop]

not gonna lie I have watched this video a bunch of times. plan on getting into trucking in 7 years after I hit my 20 in the Navy. ANYWAY i watch a whole bunch of trucking content and it usually results in the algorithm making me back to you. That being said idk anything about the way KZbin works, but I do know I have had to resubscribe to you more than once, and re turn on the notification bell a few times. Love the videos!

[@presy_jay]

@thorsflipflop Watch the video titled MY VIDEOS ARE BEING TARGETED BY KZbin. I uploaded it about 2 months ago. Your comment will all make sense then. It's unfair and criminal what they've done to my channel.

[@1tuffzx10]

Not 2 brag about myself by no means but I've driven a 9 speed, super 10, straight 10, 13 speed, 15 speed, 18 speed, 20 speed & 24 speed. 33 years of driving. I started young & hung around a lot of trucking as a kid. What he does comes from experience & a lot of this newer generation of drivers are not gonna understand a lot of what he does because of these automatic transmissions in trucks of today. Keep dropping knowledge bruh 💯 💯✊🏾✊🏾

[@TruckingWithSteve]

Went through swift academy and I’ve been trying to get my automatic restriction off, any advice on how to Without paying so much? I have a year of experience in and I hate driving auto you don’t really connect with the truck.

Respect big bro 🫡🫡

@presy_jay respect 2 you 4 keeping the art alive. I spoke with a newbie recently & he said he didn't wanna drive a manual transmission, i called him a steering wheel holder & he got mad mad, lol 😂😂😂😂, this ain't 4 everybody & you gotta love this. This has never been just a job 2 me

Hey Marv! Appreciate all the additional work you put in these Videos with multiple camera-angles. I promise you men your real final 18-speed-tutorial will be used in driving school for the rookie truckers. Thank you, Sir, for another great educational video!

[@presy_jay]

@beelzebub3632 If I told you, it would be irrelevant. My truck is different from the truck you're driving. Can't go based on my truck. The engine and power plays a role.

[@martin1234512345]

Make a game out of it. Pick certain gears where you trigger the jake while leaving the others clean. For instance, jaking all even gears while leaving the odds clean. This is a great way to "sync" your foot with your hand.

[@presy_jay]

Pretty easy.

[@ScottNelson01]

That section of I-40 is like I-65S approaching Chattanooga, optical illusion alley. It looks like you are going down hill when you are going up....and vise versa.

[@jrvapor]

I drove for 20 years and the only time I used my jake brake was in the mountains, because its noisy and most of the time unnecessary. It comes in handy in an emergency braking situation but if you're driving in the snow or slippery conditions you don't want to use it anyway, so its just a tool to assist with braking, but all that back pressure aint good for the motor any honest mechanic will tell you that, but ya know what they say, to each their own. However brakes are cheaper to fix and replace than motors.

[@presy_jay]

@jrvapor To each their own indeed... I'll leave that one right there. You probably replaced your brakes every 6 months, too.

[@ryanlorenz561]

Any tricks to getting it out of gear when floating downshifts? Bumping the throttle with light pressure on the shifter isn’t kicking it out if gear for me.

How do you do that with the Jake break on , is it all in how much you let off the gas ?

On and off switch

[@presy_jay]

I will when I do the full tutorial.

[@GeeMan912]

Great Video/tutorial, but, steep incline heavy load, I'm turning jakes off. You once said you never turn yours off.

[@presy_jay]

Why turn it off? No need to. If the jake brake bothers you on a steep incline, you're doing something wrong. I'll cover that in another video.

[@geno166]

I’m doing cdl right now

[@camcole8614]

Think I can shift with my Jacks on i just hate how much diesel it drink staying on the petal

[@DevonHouston-z6q]

18..13..9..are the same 18..can split on hi and low range. 13 can split on high range.9 speed does not split But can buy adapter for 9 to make 13..and maybe 18 but could be wrong on 18.

[@lanceseals6419]

So if you’re in 8th gear low. Would you go into 7th high or would it be 7th low? Just trying to gear my downshifts together. I’m a very new driver as of July 22!

[@presy_jay]

If you go from 8th low to 7 low. That means you skipped a gear. Skipping gears is completely fine if you know what you're doing. Timing has to be precise. Road speed gotta match the rpm.

[@johnbarr4472]

I like your video. But you are talking about shifting without the clutch and using the jakes. I used to double clutch and could keep the jakes on. Yes, people gonna hate me saying that i double clutched, but, my transmission lasted a LONG TIME. Besides, i don't worry about opinions. There over 8 billion of them; only 1 that matters is mine.

Id rather have an auto that can switch to manual in the mountains. Aint got time to be shifting driving 8plus hours a day.

[@Bushbro9]

Nah man manuals are way better, and way nicer to drive than autos

[@keithmorgan4883]

@@Bushbro9 how??? Other than the mountain grades the auto transmission is pretty efficient. I think truck drivers just wanna stand out and feel superior cuz they're doing something else other than just holding the wheel. The auto transmission can be manipulated to do what you want.

[@Bushbro9]

​@@keithmorgan4883"I think truck drivers just wanna stand out and feel superior cuz they're doing something else other than just holding the wheel" Bro, that is not what it is. Us manual drivers love the extra control having a gear stick and clutch gives us. It's so much more satisfying nailing silky shifts. I have no problem with people driving autos if they want to, but when auto drivers try to force everyone else to drive autos like them just cuz they can't drive a manual, it really hacks me off
