It's all about timing,, don't be nervous. Your brain will get used to it, regarding grinding gears, it will happen no matter if you're a " green horn" or a veteran driver, no such animal as a "super trucker", good safety and plenty of patience is what one need for, please don't became those cowboys on the road.

He just explained it so much better than my truck driving school instructor. When downshifting we were taught to monitor our speed and downshift at certain speeds for each gear then rev to increase RPM to get it into gear. Just confused the hell out of me to watch speed, RPM, the road and gear I'm in along with reading traffic signs and looking down every side road.

In a 10 speed tranny you can tell which gear you should be in based on the speedometer. Can I use the speedometer to tell which gear i should be in when shifting an 8? The same way as a 10?

From 4th to 5th, you said you can flip your range selector up while still in 4th, however; from 5th to 4th you have to pop into neutral BEFORE flipping down your range selector?

@dreadsguns
Жыл бұрын
Lo lo is necessary when the load is heavy or your trying to get the truck out of a stuck situation like in mud. That's the only time I've used it. Other then that I just shift 1-8. The process is the same as normally shifting but instead you'll have it in lo lo.

I'd use lo lo if your load is heavy, it'll take unnecessary pressure off the transmission and engine. First gear can handle a lot of weight too. If your struggling taken off in first gear just use lo lo.

When rolling up to a red light what would be a safe gear to go to? Like if I’m coming up to a red light in 7th gear and all the sudden traffic starts moving what gear would I go to to not stall. In a 10 speed I always go to 6th gear
@dreadsguns
9 ай бұрын
Id say go down about two gears and see if it picks up pretty good. Another good thing to do is if you predict the lights about to turn green start slowing down a long ways back then you can stay in the gear you in when it do turn green. Hopefully that helps

By looking at the RPM's is how I time my shifts. Each gear will only let you go up to so many RPMs before its reving the engine. At that point in my mind if I let off the gas, take the clutch out of gear to either upshift or downshift it'll do so smoothly. After awhile you'll be able to hear it in the engine and know when to shift, instead of taking each gear into high RPMs before shifting if that makes any sense?
