    Agreed. That's why I clarified it. Of course then you just skip shift the bottom and run it like a 13 anyway. Nothing says you have to use all the gears all the time. Thats what makes the difference in a Trucker and a driver.

    I'd love to see one of these kids fresh outta school jump in the old 2stick Mack I first drove with no power steering. :biggrin_25525: Uhhh! wheres the Button? And Uhhh! why does it have 2 gear shifters? :biggrin_2555: Uhhhhh! Uhhhhh!:biggrin_2553: DO you have an automatic for me to drive?




    Is there a way to post a video? I have one of a guy driving a ???4x3??? around here somewhere.
