[jagreen2009]

[69catpower]

goose bumps:-) everywhere. best music..

[soad998877]

i count 13 gears changes and going 60km/h an manual eaton fuller 13 speeds can do 100 km/h in 8 gears changes this transmission sucks

[MrCooper1982]

@countryrebel22 you're right autoshift don't switch gears but if you drive it manually you can skip gears! Autoshift have a full clutch as a manual! When pulling away with autoshift you must depress the clutch from there onwards it change automatically! Ask anyone with argosy autoshifts they have clutches!

[6V92TA]

@MrCooper1982 Those auto shifts, aka Shift-O-Matics, do not come with clutches you can operate yourself. The clutch is controlled by air pressure as with the gear shift solenoids. All you do with an autoshift is hit the gas. The transmission computer does the rest for you. You can set the gear shift to shift thru even number gears or odd number gears or all gears.

[anthonywasere]

i wish i had ya truck it sounds sweet!! put another video on here of ya engine mate please. thanx

[MrCooper1982]

The autoshift gearbox is a fuel saver! It only change at a certain RPM think 1500rpm. If change to manual you can skip gears as you like but you can't judge the weight as a autoshift! Here in S.A we don't drive 18wheelers, we drive 22 to 30wheelers called super and interlink trailers! Those things weigh another load of that of a 18wheeler loaded. I'm a owner driver and empty trailers I only climb sir lowrys pass in cape town @ 40-60km/h! Think the axle weight guys

[mozebasic]

@MrCooper1982 Sometimes it dosnt. Sometimes they go nuts and rev to 2000rpm, normally when its empty. But they do safe fuel.

[uk91266]

why does it not "jump" over some gears ??

[countryrebel22]

@uk91266 It doesnt. Auto Shifts dont skip gears

[mozebasic]

@countryrebel22 Autoshift do skip gears. Ive been driving them for a while, watch my vid "Aussie Trucker" .

[choppersgun]

to bad its an auto argosy, would go better in a 908 or short nose star

[SCANIAKUNG]

I love that sound. May I ask why you shift all these gears? You could skip one and half gear every time you shift. That way, you will reach the right speed faster.

[motor86obsessed]

So it shifts thru every single gear no matter what?? no way u can like program it or something? forget that, i like being in control of what gear im in, especially thru hills, or in stop and go traffic with stoplights i wanna be able to wind it out and get up to speed, seems like with the auto u could be at a red light and when it turns green u wont even get thru the intersection before it turns red again, cuz u sure aint going anywhere fast in this video, and yur empty!

[dreyert222500]

This vid is from South Africa ,in the western cape province

[Leuchturm]

the auto boxes on european trucks changing gears a lot better...

[wolfsravenfsx]

i am just wondering why are you driving on the left side of the road not the right?

[plowking883]

@wolfsravenfsx cause its in australia maybe? lol

[LordBrolly]

with one pipe that sumbitch sounds pretty good i got a c16 know about two months ago actually but i wined it at about 21 2200 rpm just to make it bark lol btw nice jakes

[sasho1313]

Сложно так разгонять такую махину со множеством передач

[Darkman2023]

While listening to this video, my house started shaking.

[LackoFarms]

awesome........thats freakin loud badass!!

[megapeterbilt1]

Automatic or not it still sounds sweet

[spitoinkr]

Yep, it is an Smart Shift from Freightliner and works on a normal 18speed Fuller gearbox. For those of you that don't know, there is a computer with an electric motor on top of the gearbox that do all the shifting work. On the shift paddle next to steering wheel you can select auto or manual. Here I drove in manual and did the shiftin' when I wanted it to shift. You can leave your foot on accelerator, the computer will regulate everything, but here I shifted with takin' my foot of when I shift.

[15Woodsmen]

il just learn to drive a manual. its been done fore years. stupid automatic. its a TRUCK.

[spitoinkr]

That's good. Back in the days when I started drivin' trucks there was only manual boxes and no autos.

[trokeroelinquieto]

@spitoinkr i cant stand auto on a truck they suck on hills thats here in the us with only a 20 ton payload it aint shit and they loose power

[tallone09]

@spitoinkr Thats way it suppose to be

[dieselman1988]

that is deff an automatic on work on semis and i am seeing more and more of automatic then the 10 13 18 speed

manual trans

[BigRiggerJ]

Yea, I personally don't prefer the auto's but they're alot easier for new drivers to use.

[BigRiggerJ]

hehe, I guess you never rode in a rig with an eaton-auto-shift before :) trust me it's an auto

[TheUnclechopp]

its an eaton auto shift no one shifts that many gears

[spitoinkr]

Thats correct.

[importsareforpussys]

@TheUnclechopp u do when u got pipes just to hear that lil bit of low rpm grunt ...definite boner lol

[09feb1992]

you sure it's not Semi-Auto, i swear the driver pulls the lever on the Right of the steering wheel to change Up a gear :)

[BigRiggerJ]

It is a semi-auto Eaton 16 speed transmission most likely

[MnTrucker1984]

Its an auto shift. Computer automatically lets off the throttle.

[spitoinkr]

Yeah, but here I let off the throttle when I shift, thats why it sounds more like a manual box. Your timing have to be perfect for there is 3/4 sec delay after you've pulled the shift lever before it starts to shift. If you let off the throttle to early, it won't sound nice.

[haustan123]

@spitoinkr cant it skip gears when its empty or light ?

[TARBABY71]

@haustan123 you can still shift manually,,, skip 3 or 4 if you want,,,

[TRUCKMAD001]

auto bot for drivers that can't drive rangers hahahaha! lol just kidding good sounds!!!! frieghtliner argosy

[nachos1990]

yah but the newer automatics let off the gas automatically. I saw it in a volvo and it shifted exactly like this truck

[nachos1990]

Automatic isn't it

[Hotrodx199]

Sounds better than the 3406E/C15.

[kah68]

Sounds great for the first few minutes but having to listen to that constant drone all day would drive me nuts.

[TheFireman203]

i could listen to that all day an nite

[6V92TA]

18 speed tranny? Think you can get a vid of her purring with a loud?

[ykatocple]

go last c-16 & jakes. love loud pipies & jake, is like kiwi styles lol now 8x4 & quads axle trailers freighties

[BigM161]

thats easily the loudest CAT motor I've ever heard!

[dannyW900]

gotta love the kitty kat engines. it's a shame that 2009 is the last year for CAT on highway engines.

[instepfarms]

truck sounds good but dude your on the wrong side of the road !!

[Jamirofan89]

no! this is called a Road train and filmed in Australia.correct?

[jensonious]

its too bad caterpillar is going to stop making engines for class 8 trucks.

[Heyde1979]

which trucks are they no longer going to be installed in

[jensonious]

caterpillar is phasing out on line haul (class 8) truck engines in the next few years. they are coming out with a line of vocational trucks (dump trucks, cement, etc). if i remember correctly they are teaming up with international or someone like that, and it will be an actual caterpillar truck brand. they arent making very much profit with line haul engines, and since the government is cracking down harder on emissions for line haul trucks real soon, caterpillar is basically saying screw it.

[Heyde1979]

I did not think caterpillar engines were that bad with emissions I always the Detroit engines were bad with emssions

[jensonious]

a few people from carter cat told me about that.  i think detroits are still bad, but they are improving. i kept getting told by cat owners and techs about the trouble of trying to keep cats in emissions standards.

[punckhole]

I love the CAT engines on trucks. POWER!!! and gear shifting like mad!!

[ykatocple]

aye m8, great sounding 600hp cat in freightliner . i like 18spd

[cssuki]

i hate the many changes on the trucks...i never could drive it for this reason...boooring driving

[TheAzianPersuazian]

You call it boring driving a TRUCK? You must be very, very ignorant for what you just stated. Trucking is one of the hardest job. It requires your full concentration, and yet you say its boring...

[sparwood8]

Take one for a trip up the Fraser Canyon in mid January. If you are bored; then you have no pulse

[madjimms]

It's not really boring, although it does require patience & finesse

[dieselheadiesel]

only problem with those C-16 that i see come in still is the crank brakeing but they are one hell of a nice heay pulling engine not a cummins or detriot can catch them

[Twinturbo120]

Nothings perfect =)

[Twinturbo120]

Sounds badass good job!

[BCBudster]

LOVE IT!!!!!

[Rasty17031979]

very very very good sound!!! :)

[jmagic32971]

i will miss caterpillar 6-16 .you can say what you want about them but to me they was some hell of a engines. i loved the way they sounded with straight stacks.and if i has to raise one from the dead c-16 will rise again and will run

[MAORIREPHRD]

this is auto "smart shift" or paddle shift nice trruck drove 1 in new zealand from palmy to auckland and drove a volvo fh12 "i-shift" best trucks those volvos

[jmagic32971]

naw all it has is a brake peddal and a fuel peddle .i drove a dump truck like that with the same setup and it was so nice and powerful with out the stickshift .its really beautiful if youre stuck in traffic no tired knee from holding the clutch or moving the stick .you drive it like a automatic car

[LordBrolly]

i prefer that stick wih a roadranger or any setup

[jmagic32971]

i see you can still get those engines ,remanufactured though ,ill be going to school to work on them so if you need some work on them let me know, ill be happy to keep it running for you ...

[LordBrolly]

got 2 luv straight pipes puts you in the elite class instead of novince exhaust !!

[OUTLAW911PS3]

this aint automatic..? 5/5

[jay0173]

its a semi-auto also known as the autoshift. on the steering column to the right is the shifter it has a switch on it that you can go to full auto or manual mode. in manual mode you pull up to go into a higher gear or push down to go to a lower gear

[bigpete405]

your videos are great. If you ever want to trade the cat or cummins for a mack 335hp let me know lol... I through in a straight pipe for free ;-)

[k3nw0rth904]

i reckon i would fall asleep listening to this its like a bedtime song to me

[DVBRSVT]

Gearbox ?

[jmagic32971]

ill bet is a allison trans cause they had to cut back the power on the 6-16 cause the torque was striping the gears out the trans so they run it at the most 550 hp .now these days they have another trans that would handle the 600 cat

[jay0173]

it looks like the EF auto shift we had these in our shitty century's

[jmagic32971]

i dont know but i went on allisons site and they have a 18 speed that can handle a 550 and a 600 cat now so it may be

[megadriver1]

The Cat Sound doesn´t change thrue the years, in a Cat D6 in a 950 or in a truck.

[XeeTaah]

HOw many gears does it have ?

[Hotrodx199]

18 speed autoshift

[jmagic32971]

you can have it up to 18 gears .if you run empty it skips through geats ..go to allison transmissions for more information gears

[ding232]

can sum1 pin point were that is in oz by yhe sign at the start i tryd but couldnt see it propaly. lush sound on the truck 2.

[spitoinkr]

It's South Africa mate, and not Oz.

[preaza05]

hes driving the truck within the powerband. and the gear ratios play a big part to

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

my dad semi revs out faster than that

[BigRiggerJ]

Hes driving an automatic.

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

you need to quit lugging it. blow the soot out of it

[MOOSEJOT]

dude its a diesel engine they dont rev high if you look at the tach he is revving to 1500 rpm witch is power zone for and engine that big

[fraser5001]

great sound ... for awhile.... then try long distance driving with it... yuck ..no thanks gives me a huge headache.... wish I had the auto trans though ...nice

[lizardtaimer]

you assies should look me up i can make those cats run better than anyone else in the world way more hp and better fuel economy

[NorthWestJeeper]

Love the jake brake!

[Modlendingen]

NICE SOUND!!!

[caterpillarboy600]

should put some 8's on that thing ! definetly sound more mellow and not ark as much ...she'll GROWL LOL. I love how those big 600's have a distinct sound to them , sound way better then the 475/550 but they are great to.

[caterpillarboy600]

**BARK**

[bozzen91]

omg, how many gears?

[riolindasucks]

An American truck that you can get anywhere but in America. I don't understand.

[jmagic32971]

if i had my c-16 id have mine set at 2200 full bore with the auto soo i can hear the turbo whine

[3rdAssistantEngineer]

music to my ears

[keystrucker]

good sounding rig.

[Sephiroth5300]

Only a 1500 rpm shift point? And I'm thinking you live in Australia?

[kenworth19840801]

It has beautiful sound!
