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

Fun fact number 2. Eaton actually made a 3 speed rear end also consisting of a bogie with 2 speed diffs. Shift 1 to high then the second to high giving you 3 speeds in the rear.

There are 8 gears with a high and low function for each, plus a low and high version of the low gear, making a total of 18 speeds, not counting the 4 reverse gears.

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 stated.....To 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.

Where did you work with Shaun at? The UK?

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.

140k at 10% is wild. Ill go up it, idk about down it... haha.

I couldn't be that smooth in an automatic 🤣. Nice job sir

Dude that turbo sound is crazy

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. 😂

She sounds so good 🇺🇸💪. We respect the way you handle your rigg

Truck sounding good!!! Smooth shifting!

Damn big dad your awesome i was trained on that same tranny way back in 94 when I started driving!!! Keep the videos rolling and that damn road hot!!!! Fym!!! Stay safe out there BIG DAD!!!

Best video by far none of them show you how to do it they just tell you

I love the way you split geer please make another video again.

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.

Best example video ive seen short simple ans too the point

Smooth like butter c’mon

Nice and smooth shifting

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

Good video, I like the super 10 myself. It must be a nice feeling getting to haul a load so heavy you have to use Lo-Lo.

EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS DUDE ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS THE MOVIE "THE DEVIL'S REJECTS" AND THE CHICKEN SCENE.

I bet big dad feel like a boss when he’s shifting gears 😂

"It's the best way. Cuz I do it this way"😂

That how they were designed to be shifted for sure keeps the engine in the powerband

I’ll be honest. I chubbed up a little bit over that turbo.

High range LO? Same ratio as 4th. Heard some people use it on 13's, but apparently you can grenade the transmission? I dunno. My old logging mentor used it, I've used it in the past but don't anymore.

The lo range hi is a secret gear for when your going into turns but don't want to lose to much speed and still need pulling power! 😊

Can you do a video coming all the way down from the top gear

I have a 1966 H1000 Ford Cabover with 250 Cummins 5 speed transmission and a Eaton 3 speed on front differential

💥💪💯

That’s how you do it ..awl that other shit they be doing is for show well done big daddy 😊

I have an 18 spd and I don't know if I've ever split them all. Especially on the low side.

I drive a manual mustang and with this video seems really easy . Basically each gear is 2? You just split when the rpm’s ask then then on to the next….. we’re you clutching ? Or floating

so when you start off in 1st that technically 3rd gear since you don’t use the low. right or wrong??

Nice job there , big dad . I would like to see you have a go with the Eaton twin split

I wish I could get ahold of 1 bro

Wish I had a 18 speed in mine. Sometimes I gotta run 4 up to damn near 2k before goin in to 5 c'mon!

Technically you started in 3rd, U shifted through 16 gears. great video btw

6nZ madness

When you split the gear do you push the clutch in?

Listen to that cat motor fire right up

Do another downshifting all the gears with the jake on

Is that a cat 3406? Sounds amazing

Mike could you split gears while downshifting???

Do you have one with down shifting?

Let me see if i follow. You start in LOW. Shift 1, tyen split, 2 then split, 3 then split etc. When you're done with LOW, youbgo into HIGH, and rinse and repeat? I want to get into it, i drive manuals, but i think its going to ve tricky especially to downshift, and unsplit, go from high to low ... Can you do a vid on downshifting. If you did one ill go look for it. Thanks!!

@donmunro144

Just play the video backwards. Downshifting is the same as upshifting only going the other way.

The sound of those waste gates , reminds me of your mom taking a breath after each…..lol Have a great fuckin day Mr Sharp

sounds that might put a grown man to sleep in under 60 seconds

Do you have clutch pedal?

You don’t use the mystery hole!?

Listen to that Turbo and waste gate. When you hit 10th gear tractor is dialed in.

Why do some people jump into neutral and then back into gear when splitting? Does it have any actual benefit or are they just doing it because they think it looks cool?

@MunicipalityCity

5 ай бұрын

Because the clutch is only used to go into 1st or reverse, you want to hang in neutral till your rpms are just right so you don't have any grinding. I don't drive trucks, but that's what common sense tells me.

I'm up here in Canada hauling 63500 kg. And we don't split gears like that unless you're going up a steep hill

Never seen someone split em all

Lmao. Looked for a video of how to… Man! thanks for the instruction. My common sense was not wrong! Did it somehow the right way… 1L all the way to 4L then jump to 5L to 8L and ended up to 8H. I find it quicker to avoid shifting a lot with the previous “explanation”. 😅 Does that happen a lot in trucking lifestyle? If it does, it’s for me. I freaking love driving! Looking forward to get a CDL after I learn how to drive on American Truck Simulator. 😂 Keep on trucking! 🫡

The last time I saw anyone work numbers 1 thru 18 so fast it was your mom.

actualy you shifted 16 gears , 18 gear includes the bull low

13speed better land sped to gear ratios

I’m I the only one counting 12 gears?

13 speed and 18 speed. Almost the same thing.
