    No, super trucker has a 13 speed and a stick for the range and a separate one for the splitter. Don't forget to put the main in neutral while splitting so you need to take both hands off the wheel! That, my friend, is how the super trucker does it!

    I stand corrected sir, I'm gonna have to agree with you!

    LOL, I noticed 4states sells a air valve kit to add a fake shifter. It moves the overdrive splitter and high low splitter to a shifter to give you TRIPLE sticks. Theres a youtube video that shows a guy doing it. Its ridiculous to say the least, but its hilarious at the same time.

    No, no no a super trucker just needs the drop visor, tall shifter, low rider seat to apply. Now all joking aside, a old buddy of my dads if i recall a 290 cummins, but this i do know a 5x4 with 3 speed eaton rears pulling a 4x9s or 5x9s doubles. He was a rolling warehouse for steel mills with a 290 if you get my drift!

    I bet if you called TD Ameritrade and heard his account balance, you might change your mind. He and my mom do well, both retired with pensions, and now back to O/O. Besides, my comment was directed to my friend Snowman W900, who knows I joke around most of the time, mmmkay?

    Eaton most likely spent millions over the years getting everything on one stick. I will keep it that way too.

    Don Baskin has a 1970 Peterbilt 351 with a 6x4. Tough selling point to any steering wheel holders who want to be O/O. And you never have to worry about it getting stolen, you would find it 10 feet from where you parked it.

    Yeah, I think we all share that same sentiment also. We are just joking around.....however, I still dont understand what rolling on 7 axles has to do with an 18 speed.

    We were waiting for someone to clear that up because it sounds as ridiculous as having more than 1 gear shift in the truck these days...well, to the steering wheel holders anyway. Just sayin

    That would be pretty sweet for to play around with.

    What engine has it got in it?

    Big Cam Cummins 400. Maybe Oldskooler will pick it up as a backup.
