    A real driver uses three sticks when only one is needed?
    Hmmm....

    I agree. Probably a 4x4 or 5x4.
    The three stick setup is a fake setup for those that think they are "real" truckers.

    Maybe we who use three sticks are so gifted, we need three because one has gotten old.

    You'll think old after +40 yrs of shifting and your joints are worn out.

    If that was a 5x4x2 I would agree... However that is just a regular 13 or 18 speed with 2 sticks to operate what the air switches usually do. I have watched the video of that guy driving that truck and studied the shifting pattern to figure this out.

    It is an 18 speed. The point is that anything with a manual trans is better than none at all. I have three sticks in my show truck. I love it, and have had the truck for years.

    If your joints wear out from shifting a manual trans for any length of time. You had issues before you started driving. .

    Testoserone doesn't last forever bud. Your day will come.

    Testosterone has nothing to do with it. I am old, and have been doing this for years and years. Besides that with all the supposed miracle drugs out there to cure everything. I will live forever, and be as healthy as i was in my teens.
