What gear are you in? Driver: Yes

whoever invented this multi stick system, is a pure stroke of genius. NOT for his invention, but for having been able to get a manufacturer to actually put this into their trucks. Totally insane.

3 sticks - best security system 😬😬

Trucking company: Got any experience with a 3 stick Kenny? Dude: I worked in a railway Signal Box. Trucking company: You're hired.

the shifter has a truck

it's a 13 speed. the 'stick' on the right is replacing the range selector switch. The 'stick' on the left is replacing the splitter switch. you can see him shift all 13 speeds starting at 5:16 as follows: low, 1'st, 2'nd, 3'rd, 4'th, then selects high range (right stick), then 5'th direct, 5'th overdrive (left stick), 6'th direct, 6'th over (left stick), 7'th direct, 7'th over (left stick), 8'th direct, 8'th over (left stick). He kicks the shifter (middle stick) into neutral then back into gear when he splits 5'th to 8'th gears. I agree that it looks cool, but for me the novelty would wear of in about 15 minutes.

That turbo whistle is a sweet, sweet sound.

For those who don't get it: A) Go to 5:19, you will see the regular 1-2-3-4 pattern shifting, thats how the 1st stick operates all the time. This should be fairly straightforward. B) @ 5:30 the 3rd stick (the range selector) has to be used. This stick ONLY moves when shifting up from 4th to 5th (L) or down from 5th (L) to 4th. C) Gears 5 to 8 are SPLIT in Lo and Hi. Going from L to H or H to L on a same gear requires using the 2nd stick (the "splitter") in addition to the 1st one. D) @5:34 you can finaly see the splitter into action . The 1st stick has to go to neutral then back into gear when splitting. Thats 5 -lo to 5- hi. E) From then on you see the 1st stick going along the standard 1-2-3-4 pattern but repeating each position twice, thus spitting lo/hi for gears 5 to 8. That's about it.

0 to 60 in three days

Let's just add another stick for those wiper blades

I’m just impressed by how clean the inside looks.

The sound of that truck is like sweet music to my ears.

I bet no one will ever try to steal this because of how complicated the shifting will be

I bet this guy doesn't text while driving.

It's not as bad as it looks. The center stick with the silver shaft is the actual shifter stick, and moves in the usual pattern. The stick on the right with the skull is the low-high range switch, it goes to the right for the lower gears and left for the higher ones. The left stick is the splitter, it splits each gear into two. It goes back for the lower gear and forward for the higher one.

What a brilliant idea having to take both hands off the wheel, can see that catching on.😂

If you can drive a normal 13 or 18 speed truck, you can drive this. It's the same thing, but with the switches turned into sticks.

Not that my opinion matters but this video is cool. It raises plain old shifting in a big rig to another level. Yes. It isn't necessary. Neither are polished wheels, custom interior, or an eye-catching paint job. If trucking is in your blood, some guys find ways to dial it up a notch. That set-up is not something you see everyday in real life. I had no idea you could even do that till seeing this video. This video is a celebration of an appreciation for the mechanical wonders of big rig transmissions. Shifting gears is a smooth gentle process. Done well. It's a thing of beauty. The driver is in sync with the machine and vis versa. It's hard to see but I believe he's shifting without using the clutch. That's finesse. Lots of people drive truck. Some do it with style and finesse raising it to an art. Thanks for sharing this video.

I learned on twin sticks over 52 years ago . Of course all us old school boys know you can minimized all that shifting but it looks impressive anyway .

I can barely get left foot right foot walking and this guy...this guy is a wizard a real lord of the rings wizard...!

This is a a nice mechanical symphony... Perfectly articulate and dynamic. Keep coming back to watch it.

More impressed by the turbo than the stick

Hey I just came across your video absolutely brought back memories when I first started heavy hauling originally started with your standard 18 speed the company I work for and to make a long story short I had the opportunity to learn on the three stick and I took it I am from then on I got switched to a different truck and I drove that truck for a better part of 35 years with the same truck probably rebuilt twice I am currently retired from doing the heavy haul and a three stick I’m back to doing local stuff and your standard 18 speed just thought I’d comment on your video because it brought back memories keep those gearshifting thank you very much for the Memories

This guy probably has less break- downs in his truck because he knows how to shift and he respects his truck and takes care of his truck all the time. More power to you sir and may all of your travels always be safe ones with our Lord with you wherever you go.

Good luck with Los Angeles traffic

Imagine doing all that in rush hour traffic atlanta. That's a lot of work

I watched this video for some years now. I never get tired of watching this guy shift. Love this video...

My first log truck was a 5 and 4 these videos bring back a ton of memories!!!!!! Thank you 🙏 love it!!!!!

"Yeah bro, I can drive a manual! My first car was a ma.... Nah man, nevermind."

No wonder i always see big rigs drifting off the road and hitting the rumble strips. The driver is inside playing tidily winks with the gear shifters.. wtf lol .... LOVE THE TURBO WHISTLE!

OMG that sound of brake jake from 4:13 to 5:13, it's an eargasm. Love it.

That's the most advanced anti-theft system I've ever seen in my life

Complicated way of not having to use little buttons and paddles on a regular shift lever.

ALL SHOW! He has a 13 speed Road Ranger with a low/ high and /direct/ overdrive air valves. What he has done is removed the air buttons and substituted two sticks to shift the air valves. The center stick is the main transmission gear shift lever. The left stick is the direct and overdrive air valve button. The stick with the skull on top is the low/high range button. ALL SHOW. As Phoney as baloney is called beef!

A true master of the craft in this video thank you for sharing.

The combined sound of that big diesel along with the howling turbo is just freaking awesome!!!!!

Left stick = Splitter (direct/overdrive) Middle stick = Gearbox (Rev-Low : 1-2 : 3-4) Right stick = Range selector (H / L)

I was a driver for at least 20 years on twin 4 speeds, or 5's and 3's and 5's and 4's and others, how about a 4 speed main and 2 speed auxillary?, not any of those left are there.?? This young guy here is a darned good gear shifter, why knock him? He knows what he's doing, is good at it, and enjoys his skill. Good on you brother.

I wish I understood this shifter and transmission arrangement. Seems there’s like a gear for every occasion. 😍 The turbo sounds sweet.

Ok now I am officially confused. When I started out in trucking I got confused with switching from low to high Lmao ! Now you have really confused the hell out of me with a 3 shifter ? You do it with such ease too. Thanks for sharing the vid ! I like the skull on the shifter that was a classy touch .

Left Stick = OverDrive Selector Middle = Standard Gears Right = Range Selector Taking the truck out of gear whilst selecting overdrive sometimes is really not necessary

That turbo whistle tho.

I'd like to see you do this while eating a burger and drinking some coffee ;-)

A work of art right there.

i'm just here to listen to that turbo whistle ;)

I'd love to see the instructors face at the MVA when he steers with his knee and doesn't constantly have both hands on the wheel.

This guy is not a truck driver! He is a humanoid upgrade to a three stick manual transmission. Phenomenal!

dude didn’t even need to go to the gym when driving this in the city

If someone try to steal his truck..HE CANT ;)

Bout need a degree to drive this one

Those turbos are insane!!

I grew up drivin my dad's garbage trucks, where we had 60,000 on a turned up Hendrickson, with a 5 and a 4 and a manual. rear after that one, that I would shift 21 forward gears to reach a top speed of 45MPH. I shifted from home to home on residential routes where you stop and go all day long, all summer, winter, etc.I learned on these trucks when I was 16yrs old. I love truckin', But i REMEMBER a lot more shiftin' in my days. and I have a brother "COUNTRY BOY" out of LUCK WI, Who loves these old 3 STICKER TRUCKS TO THIS DAY! . and collects them Ol' B model and KW's on a farm he calls "Tired Iron Hill"...kinda has a nice rang to it! Later guys, jus puttin in my two cents...which is what it's worth..

is he driving in heaven?

Love the Split and revenge sticks

That turbo whine- sweet.

From CarThrottle: "Injun86: Yo dawg, I heard you like manual transmissions… --Lisa Grant: So I put a manual transmission in your manual transmission ----Lucas Fernandes: So you can change a gear while you change the gear" LMAO xD

That's my old truck. I sold it because it didnt have enough shifters..

great sound of that c-15 along with a driver that knows how to use it

This vid never gets old.

i could listen to that sound all day long💯💯

It's called walking the sticks. Back when truck driving meant something. That's the way it was back then. I am retired from it now 25 yrs. My dad worked on them so I have been around it my whole life. A truck driver is a one of a kind person, some of the most nicest people I have known. Put that hammer down and give it hell!

Perfect. Very enjoyable and exciting. A fatigue-free drive and need of skill

Dunno if I’d wanna sit and listen to that whistle all day-

Cure for texting while driving.

Every vehicle in the USA should have a transmission like this! I want to see somebody texting and shifting ! This set up would make our roads safer.

That engine and turbo sound so good

Iv seen this video so many times since its ben on here an its jus as good as it was 10+ years ago!!❤❤❤❤

The best symphony of all time consists of a turbo and jake brake!

Doing this for 11 hours a day? No thanks, lol... Pretty cool though.

A complicated but amazing piece of machinery.

That's how it's done son!

Awesome! Love the super smooth shifting and that turbo whistle!!! Best music in the world!

0 to 60 in 7 years

Just plain excellence.. That’s Dr. Smooth..

So glad they have those 2 sticks as 2 little knobs on my 13 spd... I can see how it works and could probably get used to driving this after a day, but what a headache.

13 speed with the air controls removed on transmission and replaced by mechanical control sticks, nice move looks awesome on video and is catchy for newbies

I like it. I drove Mack's with twin sticks and several others with a 5 and a 4. Nowadays though, too many other things going on in and around the truck that require my attention and input to keep it between the white lines, and off the top of 4 wheelers that think all trucks are big slow moving machines that can stop on a dime. Besides, there is no way I could drink my beer and text on the phone with an extra stick to worry about. J/K, LMAO !

Nice anti theft system! From what I gather watching this though, if I'm right, it's just a normal transmission (probably a 13) with a stick for the range selector and another stick for the splitter. Not as complicated as it looks, but if some random person hopped in they wouldn't have a clue what to do!

this man has got that seat on the floor I love it

Dude teach me!!!! Talk about skill much respect!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Great job shifting. handles it well. He knows exactly what he's dong.

In 80 when I started we had a couple truck with the spicer 6x4. 2 sticks. I didn’t take both hands off wheel. This dude does a lot and got longer than he ever should. Only one impressed with this little show is non drivers , young drivers. Of course the steering wheel holders. Which is over half the drivers anymore. I’ll let rest of my comments go lol.

Oh hell no. Hell to the N to the O. I just managed downshifting with an Eaton Fuller 18 speed. Not good at it yet, but I’ll be fine. THIS however is a mind twist. I salute everyone who does this like it’s nothing. Best anti-theft feature ever.

Wow! This is trucker art. I'm speechless right now

já vi esse vídeo varias vezes, Kenworth, piloto é o "cara", muita pratica na condução, o ronco do motor com assobio da turbina, o estralado de freio do motor, iluminação do painel a noite, a cabeça de caveira da alavanca e tome marcha... ha... é muito emoção, PARABÉNS!!! outubro/2019 - BRASIL!!!

Kinda glad they simplified this with the black and red switches on the stick.

If you know how to drive this, you for my respect. I do wanna learn to drive one in the future

You can tell this guy has mastered this!

I can tell you by the sound alone it's a 13 spd. Listen for the range switch(low/high side) hiss when he moves the left and top/upper right stick. The left would be the split and upper right is the range switch. Also pay attention to the fact when he is in the low side he never touches the left stick. It's 500 rpm between gears on the bottom side and 250 rpm across the top, cuts em in half and man will it pull then. Makes a weak truck tolerable and a big truck insane. Buuut I'm not taking away from it at all, hell of a cool layout even if it's now a bitch to get in the back. Can't take away from the man being smoother than a duck's back at the same time. Fine job hero!

Driven lots of twin sticks back in the day. Never done 3. Pretty slick.

Wow that's crazy shifting man

I feel like this isn't really going far enough. I mean, one stick is engaging five different gears. Why not have five separate sticks for that?

hmmm...how could I make shifting even more complicated than what it already is? OH WAIT! Lets turn two simple buttons/levers into two extra large levers that make me take my hands of the steering wheel! PERFECT! I don't usually hate on trucker mods, because if you like it, go for it, who am I to tell you otherwise. But this seems like a safety issue to me, hate it and I would make the guy take it out if I ever had to license this truck. Same with the seat height, don't you dare to ever be in an accident!

Shifting like a boss!

No need for a radio just listen to the truck shift gears love it.

Holy shit that turbo sounds amazing!

Lot of respect for the skill. Haven't seen that done in 20-years (the last Mack MaxiDyne I ever rode in). Now, youngun, about that sitting your seat on the floor to look cool...(I would feel like I was sitting on the frame...just couldn't do it).

What was the engineer thinking when he created this? Hell you need 5 arms and 3 legs to drive it and a copilot 😂🤣

It must be really fun getting around all those sticks into the sleeper

Fuck the 3 sticks, I just want to hear that turbo whistle
