the 18 speed gear is fantastic to take all the power of the engine,and to mantain the truck in the correct speed to avoid the engine fall in rpm.

Very smooth shifting there, every shift was calm, collected, and thought out. Well planned.

If that was a Detroit V-71 she’d be redlined and we’d all be deaf

Got a panic attack just watching this..

Custom ordered truck for sure. For the terrain anyways. Nice job man looking forward to more videos

Freakin smooth bro. What a skill 👍

Very smooth, made it look easy. I'd have put you in one of my trucks for sure. Most USA drivers have no idea how different the truck reacts at high GCW... it's like losing 40% of your horsepower. The driver has to be smooth, gentle, and absolutely on top of the game, and you are!

I’m new to driving. Stalled a 60 ton grove crane on a little hill. Couldn’t imagine trying this. Need to learn somehow tho

thanks 4 the ride from liberty ky

During my apprenticeship I drove a Volvo FH16.580 with 12-speed transmission for 3 years. With 26 tons of steel plates, 7% Hill on the A7 in Germany. The other drivers were scrambling with effort, my Volvo was pulling and pulling as if it was unloaded on the flat. Unbelievable, cheers to Swedish engineering!

Is all going to depend how the truck is spec. And this Volvo isn’t 100% Swedish because it has a Cummins ISX paired to a 18-speed fuller, both engine and transmission are American.

Back in the early 80s I drove a Mack DM 600 14 wheel log truck. It had a 170 hp. 711 with a 2 stick quaddraplex . Sawmill was on top of a mountain . I regularly weighed 100k. One side had a 10% grade and the other side a 12%. At the bottom you better slide the auxiliary into low low or you would turn the driveshaft into a corkscrew. The 12 % side got a lot of drive shafts from cowboys trying to stay ahead of the hill while shifting.

oww no wonder why that's such a smooth ride, because he's in a Cadillac😂😂

This dude is really good

Good driving,Driver

Gotta say...average day where I come from, 10 % hills are the norm on highway with 12 to 15% getting loaded off highway.

I noticed he went into low range and then split a gear. You don't see that very often. I love 18 speeds !

@greg657

6 жыл бұрын

Doug Stern he did that because he waited too long, too low in the rpm. Transmission takes to long to shift between ranges. I agree with you 100%. Grab a whole gear instead of splitting and work your way back up. Alot easier on drive line.

Damn that engine pulled...i hope it is

Wow those gear ratios are super close together. The engine was never that far from its 550 hp rating during that entire long hill climb. And I got the feeling the engine could've chugged along like that for hours without a sweat if the terrain called for it. And that was in 4th gear. Imagine how steep you could go in 1st gear with that same load. 20% would probably be the limit for a 40000 lb tandem axle. On a clear, dry road that is.

I drove 80k all over US, Canadian rockies up to Alaska and back one summer, add just 20-40k to the eighty, it makes a huge difference.

Am I missing something? After the bridge you’re in 18. Then you split it to 18 low. Then you go to 17th but looks like you go back in 17 high then continue to downshift in the high range?

Depends on what engine. Never wanna go below peak torque, Volvo is 1000rpm, cat and Cummins is 1200, series 60 Detroit is 1200, new Detroit's is 900, paccar is 1000, old macks is 1300, new mack/ Volvo is 1000, most of the owners manuals as far as cat and Cummins and pretty much same with all other manufacturers is never to pull down below peak torque at full throttle for more than 30 seconds otherwise you start melting the seals and warping the turbo, you can wash the cylinder liners and the vibration can cause damage to the bearings and cause cracks in the crankshaft, I drive an old c15 6nz peak torque is 1250 but I keep it over 1300 when pulling 100k plus pounds, I live in Washington 90% of my driving is mountain driving

And the fact that they make these roads so tiny the truck barely sits on it and the mirrors often hang over the line one time crossing a narrow bridge even though I was going slow another truck was going really fast and slammed his mirror into mine it didn't do anything but scuff my mirror up but I saw his shattered it was kind of funny but that is just another example of why drivers should speak up about making laws to make the roads wider for semi trucks for safety for everyone

Very smooth slow changes ,less shock through the gears and clutch, wagon,s underpowered , driver having to work her hard, five fifty ponies not enough at seventy five tons. ISX is nice a engine, but no substitute for a big V-12 KittyCat meowing out nine hundred ponies. Clessie Cummins QRSK19 is a far better engine,a big bruiser can handle close on two hundred tons, eight hundred ponies no problem.

A 100hp diesel or gas has more average power and torque than a 100hp electric motor. Also, they don't need a gearbox to work, but they have huge potential efficiency gains with them. That might be useful given the fact that nobody can seem to make a battery worth shit even for a car, much less a semi.
