    This was a teamster shop. We had cameras both ways, and they watched us all the time. I used to pick my nose all the time and reach for the camera with the booger. I'd sing to it all the time too lol.

    Apparently I’m the only one that saw the title of the video and understood what it meant.

    All the rest of you missed it and derailed the thread.

    That’s the problem today with a lot of things. Seeing one thing and turning it into another.

    I finally watched the video, and I have no idea what Mr. Cool is doing. I shifted a 13 speed a billion and 6 times, and that's not how I did it.( according to the dash decal, which was the recommended way):dontknow: Did someone say it, I don't think that was a 13 speed. And what's with the rag around the steering column, like a handkerchief around a dogs neck. That steering wheel and shift knob aren't going to get any shinier. He may be on drugs.

    It’s a 13 speed. He skipped high gear on the low side and then went to the low hole but on the high side.
    There is a gear there but it’s almost the same ratio as high on the low side. That’s why he skipped high on the low side.

    Ah, the "mystery gear". Only time I used the mystery gear was to stop the trans from spinning when the clutch brake was useless. And I never split 2nd high range ( 6th) so to me, it really was an 11 speed.
     
    rank and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Billy Big Rigger in the flesh.

    And why would you WANT to block out the sound of that thing? Your little girly ears too sensitive for the straight pipes?
