Keep light pressure on the stick shift before you shift, so when you let off on the accelerator the stick will slide out of gear and into the next gear quicker and better timed with the engine RPM Nice Truck, its really gonna make your job easyer

@cornishlad97

5 жыл бұрын

Tokatt The US trucks do not have sincro-meshed transmissions like a normal manual car that you or I drive every day. The sincro-mesh allows you to move the shifter from any gear to any gear without having to worrying about matching engine and transmission speeds (this is to put it simply!). With a non synchro-meshed transmission the driver has to do the work that the synchromesh does in a normal car of matching shaft speeds. So basically without a synchromesh you have to match the engine and gearbox speeds regardless of whether the clutch is in or not so you may as well just not use it. Rev to the top of one gear, lift of the throttle and move the shifter to neutral then push the shifter into the next gear when the revs fall to the correct point. Tricky to get the hang of I know! The manuals are mostly made by Eaton fuller and mostly come in 9,13 and 18 speed variants. But they each shift in a standard 5 speed gear box patterns just stacked on top of each other with different gear ranges. So in a 9 speed you start in low range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then shift to high range and back to 2, 3, 4, 5 and there’s your 9 gears. For the 13 and 18 speeds this pattern is the same but the 13 speed the high range 4 gears are each split in half and an 18 speed both high and low range gears are split. It’s a big job and a learning curve to drive these trucks! Hope this helps!

I just stumbled across this video, and it's the first one of yours I've watched. I'm a 72 yr. old guy, been around trucks and equipment my whole life, owned and operated triaxles, dump trailers, lowbeds, road tractors, and owned several backhoes, excavators, and dozers, and done all my own maintenance. So that being said, I wanted to offer you some corrective information. You referred to that Jake brake as an exhaust brake, but that's not what it is. It's an engine brake, which uses the engine's compression to slow the truck down, as opposed to an exhaust brake that blocks off the exhaust. The brake you have, and is a Jake brake, opens the exhaust valve just before it gets to the top of the compression stroke, thus relieving the compression just before it reaches the point at which it detonates. So what it's doing is slowing the engine down by using the compression just before it fires and makes power. That sound you hear in the exhaust is that compression being released. The older Cummins like yours have 3 seperate cylinder heads, that why that 2,4,6 switch. The Jake brake was invented by the Jacobs Manufacturing Co., the same one that makes the Jacobs chucks on drills. That was I think back in the 50's or thereabouts. They offered it to Clessy Cummins, one of the Cummins engine family, and he rejected the idea, so Jacobs started making them, and the rest is history. One more unrelated thing you didn't mention about that 8LL transmission, is that on that truck, I believe there should be an air switch on the dash somewhere labeled "deep reduction". That gives you all your gears in a very low ratio which is great for crawling around off road in a dump truck. Ok, that's all I wanted to say. Trying to be helpful, not arrogant !! Someone else may have already told you these things, but I didn't read all the comments.

Let your rpm drop 500 when up shifting Raise them 500 when down shifting Double it if your skipping gears Also make sure your clutch is all the way down when putting it in gear at a stop Hopefully that will help u out good luck

Andrew, when I sit and watch any of your videos I am glued to the screen, how on earth for someone to have all that knowledge at such a young age is just mindboggling plus being fearless to tackle anything you are aces in my book bud.

Thanks Andrew for the time you spend to put the videos together, I know it can be a pain, and for me, it just makes everything take twice as long. I watch your videos from beginning to end. I've watched movies in theaters that I didn't enjoy nearly as much as I enjoy your videos! Keep it up! !

Oh Shit! Hey, I just saw a Potential Killer, Andrew! Your truck does not have an Exhaust Brake, it has a Genuine By-God Three-Stage Jacobs Engine Brake. This the Very BEST you can get. The Killer is, your Clutch switch is not adjusted correctly, that is why the Jake kills the engine when you're in Neutral. It is up at the top of the clutch pedal, under the dash, and it has a little bendy antenna-spring-looking-thing that contacts the clutch pedal. It is adjusted too tight. Your engine SHOULD Idle with the Jake Turned On. I will explain how this can Kill you, Learned it The HARD Way. I was coming off a hill with 47 tons of coal, and coming down a steep to a 90-degree Left. Halfway through the curve, the transmission Jumped Out of Fourth gear, and the Jake Killed the engine. INSTANT Runaway. To make it Worse, Paystars have FULL Power Steering, and when the engine dropped dead the power steering died too. Without the engine running Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't steer that thing. The ONLY way you can cut the wheel without the engine running is to put your left leg up on the A-pillar to give yourself something to Push Against, and if you notice, there ain't enough ROOM to get your leg up. Long story short, I somehow managed to Kick In my Driver Magic and Get Out of THAT One by the Skin of my Teeth and the Grace of God. I will say, it took me half an hour to get my anus to Let Go of the Seat Cushion so I could get out and pee, and I farted foam for a Week. PLEASE Go Out Right NOW and adjust that switch Correctly, just back it off just enough that the engine will idle by itself with the Jake Brake ON. So I can SLEEP. This same Truck I was driving had run away with a previous driver, and he didn't know what happened, he just Bailed out, and let it Go. It ran off into the cliff and ground the whole driver's door and fender off. Saw the Tarper, and you REALLY need to move your Selector switch for the Hi-Range Up on the front or right side of the stick where your fingers can reach it easily, shifting will be MUCH Better.

That doesn't sound right , if you adjust the clutch bypass to where it idles in neutral with the clutch released then the Jake brake would not engage in gear either.. because the clutch is released and your adjustment kills the Jake brake. For what you are describing to work right, you'd need a couple of other sets of switches on the shiftier to disable the Jake with the gear lever in neutral. In total the system would have 5 switches to disable the exhaust brake, one for the clutch pressed, one for the throttle pressed; then one for the clutch released which would run thru two switches on the shift lever for the gear lever tipped forward and tipped back. You'd need the tree extra switches to allow the first clutch switch to disable the exhaust brake when the truck is in gear and the clutch is pressed.

If something like that we’re to happen common sense would be to slam it back in to gear and let it restart itself Or a high enough gear to help stop itself with the brakes. You would still have air in the system. Still have brakes Just saying. Also to 47 tons as a load I call bs especially in a 10 wheeler. I’d have to check weights but I’m pretty certain the truck and load together wouldn’t even be that . 38 tons in an 18 wheeler is an overload

Andrew, take it up to 17-18 hundred RPM then pull it out and drop it in at 14 hundred RPM. That high/low switch should be up where you don't have to reach for it and lose momentum.

Mr Andrew Camarata the one thing I have picked up from watching a large portion of your videos, is that you have a GREAT WORK ETHIC!.......................You get out there and bust your butt for what you have. You don't set on your butt expecting other people to support you!..............BRAVO!

Andrew- Your camera positioning for the Alt rebuild was awesome. I have the skinned fingers feeling...thanks for the huge effort!

I'm just going for a drive... ... in what? Cruisin' down the road in my dump truck! 🤘

I could watch these videos forever. I too started a business in my 20's. I was 27. Your attitude and work ethic will allow you to do anything you want. I was wired the exact same way. If you want it, Camarata Property Maintenance will have hundreds of those trucks. I did it for 13 years before selling my business. It was both financially relieving that the risk was gone and I could give my kids the life I wanted for them, and very difficult given the business was like my first child. My kids got to be the age where running 100mph all day just didn't let me do what I wanted to with them so the decision was made for me but it was tough. You will do whatever you want with your attitude, keep it up.

Congrats on your new rig ! Impressive. Love those front fenders. 👌

Andrew never start a big truck in gear. Always neutral i drove and was a heavy equipment operator engineer for 34 years. I drove tri axles and tractor trailer to haul the equipment to and from the jobs. Never overload your truck. That's how accidents happen. Ive been driving since I was 16 till now @ 54 i never had a ticket or accident. My Dad was a Greyhound bus driver. Best teacher in the world.

Hey Andrew, I'm sure you've caught on to shifting this beast just fine by now and there's probably a ton of great advice in the comments. I couldn't help but drop one more here that has stuck with me from my crop hauling days: don't use the whole palm of your hand to push the shifter forward into gear. Instead rest your palm on the top of the shifter or use your fingers to push it forward. What can happen is that it can slip out of gear just as you apply power and violently force itself backward. I was lucky enough to just snap the top off the shifter when it happened to me, instead of breaking my wrist!

Andrew...your a blast to watch...better than netflix...lol as the gentleman said you are an inspiration for young boys and girls that with the hunger and desire to learn and become someone all you need to do is ask questions and most important just go do it! You learn that way. Your ability with patience and know with how is amazing. Keep it up...lots a viewers enjoying this stuff.

When my dad worked for the town, before this truck was built, he swore by International. He did say it shifted a lot differently than the Macs they had. Some of my dad's favorite stories were around his International truck.

Pre select your range selector ( going from 4th to 5th) it makes for a smoother shift same way going down (from 5th to 4th)

Congratulations on the new truck. Learning to double clutch helps great content. Keep learning putting in the work pays off!

You're videos are really inspiring. Keep it up! Love the editing and range of views.

Andrew, I used to repair electrical systems on semi's and I found the easiest way to adjust the belt on the alternator is with a large channel lock put one side on the ear for the bolt and the other on the end of the adjuster bracket. same for the A/C compressor the walls on the alternator and the A/C unit are so thin you can put a hole in it with a pry bar if you don't put it in the right place.

One word for Andrew "Perseverance" - Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Determination!

Nice truck, Andrew! Congratulations!

Drove a 4×4 Paystar 6 wheeler dedicated plow truck for Colorado Dept. Of Transportation on Hwy 6 & 24 near Vail back in the 90s. They can be stubborn. Thing was a beast. We called it Tiny. Take care of her and she will take care of you.

Love your vids. I know it takes so much more time to make them than to just do the work itself. Great work!

He needs the OEM shift lever in that truck. Move up the splitter and learn to shift it before the transmission.

Seems to have figured it out. Nothing wrong with floating the gears. Definitely lots of room for improvement in the shifter I agree.

You should really double clutch when learning tho. It's bad to grind gears obviously. Floating takes finesse

The comments on double clutching. I drove way over 3 million miles maybe 4. Floating gears and it wasn't hard to learn. It saves your leg from cramping up and I could concentrate on my surroundings. IDK about others, I'm in my late 60's, lived in Colorado. I drove 1/3 of my miles, actually more, driving the Rockies and to the West coast. I drove in Canada. I'm rambling on so that's it. Bless all of you

Nice truck! Should be a great addition for your business. Your videos and drone shots are very good!

G'day Andrew Back in the day when I was running an old Volvo N12 tipper, I changed the tailgate to a two way hinge setup which allowed me to swing the entire gate back against the side of the tipper body. This avoided large items such as tree stumps and boulders hanging up jamming or damaging the tailgate. Hope this helps 🙂

Nice Paystar! It's in amazing shape for a thirty year old dump truck.

Super informative video, like the newer truck! Looks like the learning curve didn’t last to long. 👍🏻

Good for you my dude thats such a nice truck!! I love watching your videos please keep theming coming you provide good, interesting content!! When you showed your newer truck 9:45 you should've had all 3 dump trucks lined up. That new one is so badass tho!!!

That truck lesson gear is the best I have ever seen. I love your videos

Andrew you’ve got a good mind on your shoulders. Most people who have their own business do not put their money back into the business in 10 years you will be bigger and making more money.Keep it up and good luck love your videos.

Love the sound of that great turbo engine in the Paystar 5000, it's infatuating ;-)

wow , nice set of wheels..should do the job..

You got the power now no doubt..and I have ALOT of intertainmentt. Can't wait .thanks Andrew..I'm not kidding youtbe is my world..it's all Real .& your the Star ..be watching you..I'm 65 and can't do this no more..

I've never seen a shift pattern like that, but it really makes sense for a dual range transmission like that. Very cool

Keep an eye on the bed floor. You might want to weld some plate on the floor.

Absolutely beautiful Paystar, as for those transmissions they're the easiest RoadRanger to shift ever made. Hope you got the hang of it!

I been watching this guy for like 4 hours now. Great videos. I'm hooked, keep up the good work

Backed this video up four times just to listen to the upshifts with that Cummins. Love the way big trucks sound.

Good looking truck. Moving up to the big rigs.

When you are working on the alternator always disconnect the battery

Always better to disconnect the Negative battery terminal than to do what he did, leaving the circuit complete (power live) when removing that positive lead from the alternator. A seasoned mechanic knows better than to work on a live circuit.

Andy, your segment here pertaining to, “tail-gating-gravel”, Was absolutely outstanding my friend.

The 8LL is by far one of the best dump truck transmissions ever made as far as I'm concerned! That deep reduction comes in handy at times.

Congratulations on the new truck, it's a work horse by design and looks like it was well maintained. Great job with the video and the explanation of your progression to a bigger truck. As always a little drone footage and close up repair work throw in, very well done. I wish you many thousands of trouble free miles knowing you will maintain it and as a bonus it enhances your business image with a good looking 10 wheeler. 2 thumbs up Andrew, enjoy all your videos, and was really looking forward to this one after the teaser shot of it a while ago !!

I really like your new truck! good job.

Andrew you did a good find and purchase of that truck , it’s in beautiful shape 👍🏻.

Your videos are in my opinion the most informative and most entertaining that I've seen so far.

I miss wing windows as well. Super functional to have.

Andy: pull harder Other guy: I'm pulling hard

Nice rig grew up with my friend owning one 87 to just don't see many of them anymore great truck though beast!! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Why is this all so fascinating? I'm already on my second video of the day! Meanwhile, there's plenty of work for me outside, but noooo, gotta watch Andrew!

Looks like a nice truck! It might help to move your range selector up higher on the shifter. The way you shift without the clutch is called floating gears. You can also double clutch. Push in the clutch once, pull the shifter into neutral, push the clutch in again and put it into gear. Takes some practice!
