We have 10, 13 and 18 speeds. You'll most likely get road tested on an 18 speed. Just remember that it's on a 9 speed gear pattern. In other words drive like a 10 speed but skip 6th gear then split high range whether 13 or 18. As long as you don't make the U to grab 6th you'll be fine. Then to split come completely off then back on the fuel. Also shift around 1,500 rpm. Typically you'll shift at a lower rpm like 1,400 on your 10 speed but rev higher on the 18.

What about downshifting, do I have to go from low range 9 to high range 8 or can I skip high range 8 and go straight to low range 8? -
The trucking gods must be looking down on me because I got a 379 ten speed.

Actually on my pre trip i opened the hood and the engine is a Cat, so there is a 389 Cat 10 speed. My trainer was telling how slow it is right now so hopefully that changes soon lmao.
