sweet rig!! i'd love to drive a cabover sometime. they must have some funny lookin shifter linkage! never see any cabovers on the road where i come from.
Maybe I'm an old fogey but I used to drive a 13 speed Freightliner over the road and it sounds like grinding the gears to me. If I had that kind of trouble I would double clutch, or if you know what you're doing, you can shift without the clutch once you're moving.
That's not really splitters gears. That's just switching from High range to low range. Splitting gears is what you would do on a 13 or 18 speed. You got one half of a gear and when you split you are using the other half.
@dana44s what he did was put the switch on to get to the top gears for the transmission, usually happens after hitting fifth gear, that's a 290 cummins diesel with a Fuller Roadranger Tramsmission.
One the West Coast back in the '70's, you'd always see these White COEs hauling trailers for Safeway and Foremost Dairies. All the way up and down U.S. 101. :) Beautiful job on that '73...
very cool. we have a 65 white freightliner with a 250 cummins. we just blew up the muffler today and putting straight pipes on earlier then what we expected.
good Ol cumins freightliner's.
always sound good.

its a 10 speed you don't split gears.
Hotrodx199 2 years ago
are you serious? do you know trucks at all? its 5 gears, split, 5 more.

Hotrodx199 2 years ago
right. its the same with a super-10 speed accept it goes from hi to low range by itself. all you gotta do is hit the blue button.
dant387 2 years ago
he went into high range

I agree, 10 speeds are a shitload of fun to drive, you can give it right to em and they take it, and the old COE Freightliners were the best!
