This guy is smooth as a baby's ass on those sticks. I started driving in the mid 70's in a 65 Pete with a 5x4. I was good once on them. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to get back in the saddle!

Looks like he has an old Spicer 10 speed with a 4 speed behind it.

@@seventhson279 speed overdrive with a 4 speed auxiliary

Must have been an adventure lol

How'd you do?

I second that. Three sticks on a Road Ranger and all the posturing makes me ill.

Me and dad have been driving somewhere around 80 yrs combined So mom finds that 3 stick air shift video. And sends it to me. I told her that was a fake. The one id love to see is that 56 LJ MACK lowboy truck that dude needs a 3 stick shifting video. 9x4 is cool. Theres a couple heavy haulers down the road that have planatary drive axles big cats18 speeds with 4 speed augs. They pull a 20 axle Diamond.

You dant driver's anyone

Hmm! Oh my yes thanks for the explanation. 👍

Timothy Mcilwain Listened for that🤣🤣

I drove a DM800 10 wheeler 711 non turbo, quad box with panties on, pretty panties at that. Ran on a lot of projects around Philly during my summers off from college in the 80's

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!.......so true

That's funny right there. Hey bud you seen 4th anywhere. I always liked driving 2 man till you find out the other guy ain't got no skill. Then it's like Hey bud why dont you take a nap

Jason Tengan I was guessing a 15 and a 5 aswell. He sure is !! I was guessing this was an old a model too

You sure tahrs a 15? Looks like a old 10 speed road ranger and either a 4 or 5 aux.

Not lost at all---many of us know how very well just need some new trucks to come with them---haha--how we wish.

kleetus92 fast and furious 1 comes to mind when they street race 4 of them haha

Famous nos boost part

kleetus92 Lol!!!!

hahahah

Dude was smooth as silk, compared to some of these hamfisted vids I see.

Aw heck, am I that old? Props to this guy, he made that rig sing nicely. I did that in my early 20's, it still looks cool letting go the wheel and both hands on the sticks.

I’m 14 and I’ve drove DM-686s and DM-800s with 4x4 and a 5x3. Al generations can do this it’s just newer trucks.

Me too 5&4 230Cummins Reo

Me too

I d still run one if given the chance. 45000 lb ISO tankers on a 20ft container chassis that still runs 10x20 tube tires on 5 spoke Dayton rims. Is that old school enough for ya?

Two sticks is for 200hp

seem like it lol

9 over, probably has 4.11 rears or in that neighborhood.

9 over 5th is against the dash. And a 9 progressive you pull the selector up in 4th instead of 5th

In a 9 speed or 10 speed when the shift pattern is reversed between 4th and 5th (and also the top two gears) then it is an overdrive. The actual arrangement of gears on the counter shaft does not change between direct transmissions and overdrive transmissions (for the direct gear). It is the gear opposite of direct that changes. So in a normal 9 speed 4th gear is an underdrive gear and 5th is direct. In an overdrive transmission 4th gear goes from an underdrive gear to an overdrive gear, so the shift progression changes because you would not want to go from 3rd gear straight to an overdrive gear and then back to a direct gear. Wow!! I think I just confused myself!! Lol

mike Lane its a 9 over with a 4 speed aux and V8 cat

mike Lane stupid

Watch his left leg, it does move.

Looks to be a 9 over, should be the same ratios for the older transmissions regardless of tq rating. I was going to put a 4 speed behind my 9 speed direct in a truck and even with the 3.90 rear ends it was going to be very long legged, so keep that in mind.

why did it the divorce the 2x4 ? LMAO

George Elliott Its a 9 speed main box. Has 5 low forward gears and 4 high. Lo is bottom left, 1 is middle up, 2 middle down, 3 bottom right, 4 up right. Pull range valve, 5 is up middle and carry on same as low range. 4 speed auxiliary box (the long stick with a bend) is the "overdrive" box. A 4 speed auxiliary box tends to have 2-3 overdrive gears and 1-2 underdrive gears. Once you get into high range, you can start splitting them into smaller ratios. Like a modern Eaton 13 speed.

Steve Ross n

Katie p

Yes, five low range with four high range plus four speed second stick..

Steve Carras so thats how u would shift this thing, i drove a tranny 4x4 manual and air.... wow these were the times....

Actually you wouldn't get 36 different ratios as many would overlap.

D J Tanner Don't need to really keep track. Just listen to the engine and go up or down a gear depending on what she needs.

It's all about feel. No trucker once they learn the vehicle uses all the ratios in the transmission, you skip around depending on the load and conditions. The twin sticks just give you more options and unless you heavy haul ( and I am talking super heavy stuff ) you don't need them. This truck is overkill with gears.....and that makes it cool.

He doesn't talk on the phone

I know I am replying to a 4 year old comment, but what the heck. He has a 9 speed main transmission and a 4 speed aux. Most twin sticks were 5 speed main and 4 speed aux. Main transmission the gears are numbered just like you expect 1 thru 5. The auxilliary transmission you name the gears. Deep under , under , direct , and over. So whatever gear your in with the main , plus what ever gear the aux is in. lowest possible gear is 1st deep under , highest gear is 5th over. Your only supposed to use deep under to get moving, once you start progressing thru the gears you do not return to deep under , you go back to under. Progression usually goes like this. 1st deep under , 1st under , 1st direct , 1st over , 2nd under , 2nd direct , 2nd over , 3rd under , 3rd direct , 3rd over , 4th direct , 4th over , 5th direct , 5th over. Notice once you get past 3rd gear you don't use under anymore. You can but I have always heard not too, overlapping ratios. going from 3rd over to 4th under would actually be a downshift in most cases, or just the same overall ratio. 6 x 4 setups have a slightly different progression that I am not familiar with. I never drove a 6x4 only 5x4. I would love to have this 9 x 4 setup!!

Probably would make better drivers. Trucks with automatic transmissions sound like there's something missing, and there is. It's not the same sound as a driver shifting.

9 over with a 4 speed aux...

9speed main, 4speed auxiliary

9 speed main, 4 speed auxiliary

Hahaha!

Nope, this is not one of those fake twin sticks. This is a real twin stick. It is a 9speed overdrive with a 4 speed overdrive behind it (divorced).

When cat sounds like International 1086 but it using Eaton Fuller 18 speed? or Cummins Big Cam 400?

George Foltz 9 0ver with a 4

Patriot Warrior yeah yeah, up hill in the snow both ways.

minischnauze13 not far from the truth in Buffalo.

Ding ding ding there it is. Just won five dollars betting on how long it would take some low brow losers to turn it political or religious.

doesn't have or need belts...to old
