twin stick trans

heck, it's a lotta work just watching them purple legs try to move around.

 

Goodness what the hell is that? Nobody gonna steal that truck.

 

this tranny is just a 13 speed with individual sticks for each function,has nothing to do with a real twin stick operation

 

LOL. Looks like an 18 with that conversion kit. Just replace the splitters with sticks. Not a true twin stick.

 

I don't know, but is his truck and his sticks to do as he wishes

 

On the other video the truck had an old 4x4. I hauled coal with a 318 detroit and a 5x4 back in the '70's. If you watch Mr.David shift the auxilary stick,his last shift is towards the dash. That tells me that it's an overdrive trans. A lot of your old trannys that were overdrive, had the last 2 gears turned around like that. You really had to concentrate or you would forget what gear you were in. LOL ! My old 318 had twin straight stacks and man would she talk to you !

 

A few weeks ago, I had to pull a big load through the UP of Michigan (I hate Michigan). A monster snow hit while I was rolling towards the mackinaw. This doorslammer gets on the bigroad. The trailer had FIVE axles. Wow...even the grocery haulers are hardcore.

I like to see stuff like that. The guys wheeling around in their old iron or the rugged SOBs on the northern two lanes and Canada. A few years ago, I tried to watch that show,"Outback Truckers." That was too hardcore for me. The guy loads his shovel, his rifle and the dog into the truck. Takes off pulling a land train. I was thinking, "Wow, this might be a pretty cool show." The guy did more digging than he did driving. I don't think they make a deodorant that could hold up to that job. And he didn't have AC! Talk about breeding flies.

 

The nice thing about a set of boxes is that there was a gear for every occasion .
Pulling the mountains or out in west Texas on 10 with both sticks against the dash flying low !!

I still miss the 6x4 and 3:55 rears man them was the good old days for sure !!!

Now traffic in L.A. was a pain in the butt when you would hit 4th and 4th and then traffic would stop and you start all over again just to have it happen a few hundred more time before you got away from the city !!!
