lol. Thanks.

[solytwd]

I love that song. Conner Oberst. First Day of my Life. It was on satellite radio.

[jonesd5o]

@solytwd do u rev the engine to make a down shift cause thats the only way i can figure to do it without the clutch im not a driver just a tech that drives when im done with a repair so the truck gets some what of a road test



[DIJV79]

Are you in a international ? Why use the the clutch oviously your floating gears, hahahah ! we all float gears.

[TheDavidpayne]

very very bad to float gears but it ok in trucks

[BigRiggerJ]

haha, i do this all the time, just give her a little gas to keep the rpms high and ease her in there

[elpechi1992canna]

muy bonita esta mula

[teamwounder]

your cb is crystal clear. all i hear from mine is CHHHHHHHH on all channels regardless of squelch setting.

[usarmyscoobie89]

get a better cb man lol not tryn 2 be mean or nething

[solytwd]

Ya it's not a CB. It's a VHF radio. CB's are shit in BC. You only get about about a truck's length of range. With a VHF you can get 40 miles.

[usarmyscoobie89]

o sry man i had no idea it does sound rele good tho

[ska8r411]

Can VHF's communicate with CB's? and vise versa

[solytwd]

No they can't. They operate on different frequencies.

[68GSI68]

You are High On the HighWay i can see a join =P

[solytwd]

No you can't.

[frieghtlinertrcker]

i dont think he knows what that really is lol

[ggaudin1]

How to downshift without clutch : if you are in 5th : release the accelerator, put the car in neutral, press the accelerator really quickly to raise the RPMs, put the car in 4th. Here you are. If it makes "crrrr" it might be because you havent raised the RPMs enough, or too much

[huggatree]

Theres not much appreciation for the Long haulers out there. So this beer is for you Soly!

Take'r easy, If she's good taker twice!

[solytwd]

Thanks for the beer.

[drumPRO]

what are you letting your rpm's drop to?

im just learning

i usually drive on fairly quiet streets so

i let em go to like 900

lol

[Kint0]

didn't think I'd ever hear bright eyes in a trucker video, keep it up!.

[tmon99]

what song is that?

[solytwd]

First Day of My Life, by Bright Eyes.

[crackparty]

I haven't had a computer for a few months, but cool to see you got a downshifting video up. Good stuff man thanks for making one.

[gergely007]

What was the mate's problem?

[solytwd]

He was just saying that when he got into his truck the windows were washed and it was cleaned on the inside and fueled up. Something that doesn't happen very often so he was surprised.

[dugwillis84]

bang those gears
