Thanks for taking us along for a ride.

NICE TRUCK!! I drove a W9 for about 8 yrs and loved every minute of it !! Good job buddy! Nice to see the younger generation enjoying trucking!

love that sound going through the gears! Sounds strong!

You go follow in what you like to do. Keep up the great work that day . From California Dawn❤

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! Count me in as one of your new subscribers. Can't wait to watch more. Thank you for your efforts buddy!

Yes!!! in the old truck is the soul !!!!!!! sound just wonderful !!!

You realy aught to listen about the back I'm 58 and had to retire after 40 yrs with back problems I can barely walk now the nerves to my legs are pinched,so take care of your back

Man, are you driving like this all the time? Doesn't your back hurt?

Good job there bud, enjoyed watching you...drove lots of miles in a w900..

the interior is quite spacious and sophisticated

What’s up string bean? You and me got one thing in common and that’s that we both drive w900s and for that alone, i respect you.. Yours looks a little too new for my liking i learned to drive and still drive to this day the same 2008 w900 and i hate when i have to drive something different for the day, it really is an all around amazing truck that once you have the feel for, rides better than a cadillac in my opinion!

THIS ENGINE SOUND IS SICK, MAN! PURE DOPE!

Got some skills there Rubber Duck..Shifted well and floated them smoothly..Well done..

I see it's a fairly new truck. It has the new Kenworth interior, same as in the new T800. Do you drive a glider kit? Or is this just a new factory W900?

@Albertalorian

7 жыл бұрын

Cars and Light Truck transmissions are very different from the transmissions in big trucks. The biggest difference is, truck transmissions don't have synchronizer rings, and they use a different type of gear teeth. This allows you to "float" the drivetrain and slip the transmission in and out of gear without the clutch. However, you can do a lot of damage to the transmission/driveline if you do it wrong. Basically, when it's time to shift, you lift off the fuel pedal, and as the weight of the truck/trailer moving forward, unloads the driveline as the engine rpms fall (going from accelerating to decelerating) you have a small window of time, where you can shift gears without the clutch (because there is no acceleration or deceleration load on the driverline, its "floating") You need to be extremely smooth, and quick, as its very easy to get caught outside of this "float" window, in which case you need to either add RPM to match the speed of the driveline, or use the clutch. The best advice I can give, is practice with a light load or empty trailer, never force the transmission into gear, cover the clutch pedal even when floating, until you really get used to it. Smoothness is the key, the speed will come with practice. Hope that helps!

Maybe if you had placed the camera between the seats, and behind you (like a view out the front--showing a nice long hood ... and a road...and traffic...), it would have brought us more into the mindset for the vid...
