Fun fact. Eaton invented the 2 speed rear end so you could hear the turbo spool twice as much. Come on back.

I like this video because you don’t do a lot of unnecessary talking and go straight to the point. Good job

Grind it till you find it! This isn't directed at Mike, but I get a kick out of southerners shifting like they're out for a Sunday drive, moving the stick for splits and going on vacation between the gears. Over here in the Canadian Rockies we can pull 140, 000 lbs through the mountains... Let me tell you, it's an entirely different experience. Box Canyon hits 10%, hitting a range change on that sucker is always fun. To y'all that don't do a lot of grades, you're not missing much, it's really not that fun.

Not a trucker here and live in the UK, but love watching and listening to big dad. I worked with an EX trucker from texas(hauled cattle all over) for 14 years, the roughest, toughest, grumpiest, kindest, funniest, most helpful man I've ever met or ever had the pleasure of working with.

We worked in probably one of the worst jobs imaginable together, and everyday on shift with that man was a pleasure.

When he died it was one of the saddest days ever, but his funeral was one of the best celebrations of life ever. When his wife pulled out letters that he'd written to his closest friends and included me I was utterly shocked, his letter simply Shaun, best man I've ever worked with, the only one I trusted with my life on the daily.

Get back to work, and pay them bills.

Big Al.

Mike sure made that look easy. When I was a kid, my Dad bought a used mini-wheeler dump with a twin-stick 5&4. Unloaded he didn’t split shifts, fully loaded / over, it was underpowered, so he hit most all of them. After three or four shift cycles, he’d already broken out in a sweat and I remember him looking a bit like he was playing whack-a-mole when trying to find those gears. 😂

My Cascadia has an 18-speed with 3.55 Rears, splitting the bottom side is completely useless, I only do it in stop and go traffic otherwise I just treat it like a 13 speed.

Nicest thing with that setup is I can go 75 miles an hour a hair over 1400 RPM

Smooth operator, my grandfather told me he drove a truck way back and it had 2 sticks, one was the range and the other has the gears. He said you needed 3 arms to shift and drive hahaha. I drive a gutless automatic for an LTL company.

Splitting every gear *starts in 3rd*. Most times you do not need 1st and second and they are labeled as lo on the shifter. But this is a great tutorial. I was wondering when you can move the splitters and seems like once you split with the air shifter if it's in gear it doesn't move out of gear if you are on the throttle. Good to know you do not NEED to be in neutral on an 18 speed to play with the splitters. You can set the shifter before you move it.
