Automatic Transmission Trucks

My Volvo has a 3 position stalk and an aggressive pull down that will trip it up to 2000 rpm. Sure you have the settings right?

 

1st it's not a automatic.... it's an autoSHIFT…..

""Are they planning on turning on the features of these transmissions"" ask your company because it up to them....

as to over rev the engine have you looked at the engine plate to see what the max rev is...

 

2500 RPMs!!

 

I agree with you...I don’t like how it revs with the jake on. I did ask a shop mgr about manual mode and he said they purposely disabled it. It’s gonna be interesting in the winter for sure!

 

Probably bc over speed can void a warranty

 

Let her come downgrade at 2500 jake. Burn em out. You are just a drivah. You follow me? The failures of the company bean counter and drones who fat finger and hamfist computer settings inside truck tractors don't know what they are doing.

So when the rods come through the block followed by the crankshaft etc before the bottom? Serves them right I say... Wally is rich enough to replace it.

If it upsets you too much, find a different job. It might be better. No good to be a mad angry trucker trapped in a HAL induced tractor from the future that wont let you drive it properly.

Ive had trucks in the past the old iron that would turn over at 3 grand on the beltway for DC and virginia. So its not a problem for the engine until it fails. Thats the company's oversight. I do care for the equiptment. But I have gotten hardened to the stupid mistakes by corporate that leads to failures, explosions or whatever. Its not my fault.

 

Our autos have all the features enabled. I guess it varies DC to DC. I actually enjoy driving it but its rare for me to be in one.
