    Top is power divider, bottom is a neutral switch. Dad had one in his Mack years ago and I'm pretty sure he used it when he was connected to a conveyer that was milling the road that pulled/pushed the truck

    I wouldn't need to use it unless using a attachment. Thanks.

    The top button is for when you can’t get a four wheel burn out, so you press that button and it will lock the axles, then roll through the bleach water and gas it hard. That will heat up and clean the tires for maximum traction.
    The second button is for the nitrous gas control. You should only use that when you’re getting ready to launch, maybe a shot for a burn out. Thats not something you want to have turned on when just rolling around. You gotta have lots of throttle when you use that. Could blow a motor like that.

    Thank you ever one. I think I get it now. I running dump truck for a paving company. So far I have 12 days experience and comply miss the Eaton manual transmission mission. This mack is driving me wack.
    The hands down best windshield wiper speed controll knob ever thou. Including any 4 wheel I've ever driven. This one turns to adjust speed. Vs having pre selected speeds.
