Обожаю стон трансмиссии Eaton, особенно в конце видео. В детстве много ездил с отцом на его Peterbilt 387. В спальном отсеке этот стон слышно больше, чем звук мотора. Просыпаться под эту музыку было одним из лучших моментов.

в америке ставят прямотоки чтобы грузовик звучал как можно громче, в россии делают наоборот , ставят свои глушители чтобы потом не трещала голова

@@deflorio5215 новые американцы с завода тоже со всей экологией и глушаками, но многие частники удаляют или продают новые траки и покупают старые. Лично меня никогда этот шум не беспокоил, даже наоборот нравится пение двигателя.

[@autovag2007]

@@deflorio5215не знаю, у меня ничего не трещит. Сейчас я с отцом работаю, и я бы ни за что не променял америку на европейца, хоть и работал на них. Звук хоть и громкий, но прям мёд для ушей. А вообще самая громкая машина, из тех, на которых мне довелось работать-актрос мерседес мп3. В экипаже спишь на ходу, лежишь в спалке будто в обнимку с мотором и спм по себе звук у него мерзкий, тракторный 🤮. Толком и не уснешь в нем. Хуже, чем с гудящим рефом в жару спать.

You got a weak cylinder partner. I can hear the flatspot all through the rpm range and in the jakes.

[@n8bolton]

Makes sense. Wasn't sure what was causing that thump. Overhead has been run, jakes are in adjustment. It has been needing rebuilt for at least as long as I've been behind the wheel (January). Doesn't run anywhere close to the 500 it is supposed to be.

[@n8bolton]

@@maestrovso Generally, there are 3 positions. This Kenworth has an on/off toggle and a 3-position selector for the number of cylinders activated. My FLD has a switch to activate 2 cylinders and another to activate the other 4. One switch is for low, the other is medium and both together are high.
