Sean you sure are accumulating haters ! I don't get it your videos aren't misleading, you're not rude or anything. Some peoples kids I guess just have nothing better to do.
@gregorybleach9 As soon as you use the red button to supply the trailer with air, when you use the foot value (brake) they apply as well. you can use the spike (trailer brake lever) for independant braking to say, slow down or, with experience and skill to control a skid or jacknife. But you really should use both foot valve and spike at the same time as you will compound the brakes on the trailer
@gregorybleach9 Another way to use it, is when you want to slide your tandems on the trailer. Thats the only time I've ever used it, and right after I hook up the trailer I test the brakes on the trailer by themselves to make sure all air pressure to the trailer brakes are working properly.
Looks like a decent tractor inside. My only beef with Peterbilt is that it is so bunchy and you seem so closed in inside. It feels like you can reach from your drivers seat right over to the passenger window. But all in all, pretty decent. I just enjoy driving so I reckon stick me in the thing. I have drove ALOT worse. TRUST me. LOL LOL
Sweet-mother-of-pearl man, are you flying a plane?!
I've never seen so many dials and gauges in my life on a dashboard-whoa! I never knew the inside of a tractor trailer cab looked like this, I thought it was...simpler than a car (sorry about that comparison--best I could think of at the moment).
Amazing, thanks for letting us (mere mortals) take a peek; that's complex.
@brossmart Red and blue are air, Red is supply to the tank on the trialer, blue is the service when you use the brakes for the trailer. Yellow or green or black is electric
Just one question. I aint a trucker so i just thought i would ask. Do people really drive Semis with an automatic transmission, and if so how well do they hold up.
@brossmart I mean, the driver has no control over the gearing. I've had situations going down an 11% grade where the computer desided what was best... Computers can not comprehend situations, it just has perameters that it's programed with.
@godsmack8807 I wish I had this equipment when I started driving..
No spring brakes on the trucks until 1974...so if you lost your brakes due to heat or air loss, you were the first one to the bottom of the hill......no funny.
I started with no a/c...SMALL SLEEPER.....no power ssteering and no jakes......
Drivers today really......"REALLY DO HAVE IT NICE........REALY NICE"....
the only truck I have exerience in the past 7 weeks is a volvo 10 speed with a 40 ft box trailer it has no j brake and no airhorn it's just a driving school's truck I have to retake the road test for my CDL. I got my hazmat too
@MrMikeshrout for one, TRUCKERS don't need a bunk. A SUPERTRUCKER does. A REAL trucker can drive a box truck... it's all about getting the job done and having fun doing it. So Sorry your life sucks. Second of all... never seen other videos from me ass cap?
@MrMikeshrout just so you know you can still sleep in a day cab....we used to have one and we just kept a mattress behind the seats and laid it across the seats. you don't need a bunk to be a real trucker
@MrMikeshrout haha says you sitting there at your home computer with a class c licensee. the biggest thing you ever drove was a honda so stfu and go watch ricer videos. sean nice truck and vid thanks.
@MrMikeshrout And the interenet is for stupid kids who have been on a trip with their daddy. How do I know? Because before I became a trucker, I did the same when I was a kid. So shut it.
awesome truck, but this just shows why i would never be a good truck driver. i would spend every moment in the cab pushing every button and switch within arms reach. it would be fun doing it, but im sure CALTRANS and CHP wouldent like the problems it would cause
@seansuth Nice video Seansuth! Quick Question? What are the differences between the 18 wheels you drive in North America to the European tractor trailor TIRs?
In european trucks (Germany) we haven't got this "displays" *dont know the right word*. only the things, which are on the left side, near the display (air, fuel, oil pressure, water temp etc., speed, torque).
and a "trailer brake" isn't allowed here in Germany. We have the normal brake (trailer and "cab"), retarder (a brake at driveshaft with magnetism, which is more powerful than motor brake) and the motor brake.
that look confusing for me i drive a 4speed regular truck an i dont think ill keep up with that lol i dream of being a trucker but i gotta think about it now lol that big different from a regular manual to a harder one on the 18 wheelers lol
the shifting part look confusing for me i have a regular truck that a 4speed an i dream of being a trucker i think i want to think about it now lol look pretty confusing for a bit =/
so whats the difference between jake brakes and normal brakes.....i obviously dont have a clue about this stuff...just stumbled across these videos and was curious
A jake is a type of engine brake that incorporates a extra lobe on the cam shaft, the valve operated by this extra lobe is electronically activated by a solenoid (switched on by the jake brake switch) to release compression on the piston at the opportune moment to maximize the pressure in the cylinder to slow the motor down. When this switch is on it will activate the brake whenever the accelerator pedal is released.
sorry I didn't see an answer to this, so I figured I would answer, sorry if it was answered already. Anyway, PTO stands for power take off. It is to power something else, like on a dump truck, the hydrolic pump for the dump body, but it can be used for other things. It uses the engine power for something other than to move the truck in a simple way to put it.
Most trucks have one lock, locking both drive axles. Some, like this one, has independant locks, one locking the front drive, and one locking the back
ooh okay, i wasn't quite sure what that was, thanks Sean...Seems like a pretty nice day cab btw...Peterbilts are nice trucks...what a time to do a tour in a traffic jam lol but still cool bro..take care
wow i can't get over how some truck drivers do it just so much to look at like 15+ gauges and the gears hi and low wtf man it makes the 6 speed in my firebird look like shit.
Thing is, when you leaned 6 speed and the guages in a car you didn't know them, now it's like second nature. Same with semis. At first it's wild, then it becomes natural
i got to see a day cab peter built in person if you look at my videos its on there, i had to laugh when you said secon-dary air. sorry small things amuse me. does that truck have the cat in it?
not really. It's like driving a 4 speed manual. But each gear is 2 gears in 1, and you have to row through them twice. Becomes just as natural as driving a car.
As dieselfumes34 said, comes Natural after a while, and you never really use all them Gears in one go, you"ll perhaps do Split-Shifts. The Scanias i drove were 3 over 3 with a split on each gear making 12 speed with 2 Crawlers gears. In Europe we"re moving towards Auto and Semi Auto Boxes, ideal for inner City Areas like London where a lot of concentration is required outside the Cab as 20 million people try to commit Suicide in front of you.
i drive a 08 volvo in ireland 10 months old constantly has an engine warning light flashing for "high nox" main dealer said ignore it ,I cannot keep the mirrors clean must be design flaw and blows bulbs like nobodies buisness, inside is one giant grey plastic puke but it pulls well and has a great engine break and cruise control. give me back my scania any day though
dont know if the asembly plant in poland has anythinbg to do wiv that i know when they closed it in irvine and moved it there they had big big problems
you mean a Volvo plant in Poland? Man, we have Volvo buses in Budapest made in Poland. I don't want to hurt anyone, but the way those are put together is, well, outrageous....if one catches fire, you die in the plastic smoke. ;-)
I like the look of the interior in that pete. Everything looks simple and high quality just how a truck should be.I live in the Uk and drive a volvo, its a piece of junk. The interior is just filled with acres of crappy plastic. The engines aren't up to much and it has a syncronized gearbox so you have to use the clutch for every shift. Give me a CAT and roadranger anyday.
My God Sean look at the argument you started!! LMAO! Hey man,bet that Eaton 18 comes in handy on those 93,680 lb days ehh?. Haul like a Mule and drive like a Monster! later man!! great vid! I never get to see the inside of a jetson's semi. ,, just my old FLD,, SWEET!!
do you have a Clutch ??if so, y dont you have to use it ?are all 18 speeds or 13's or whatever have the splitter and no use of a clutch ?thats crazzzyy, makes driveing alot easyier,dang, or is it becos you got a new truck with some kind of sequential 18 speed please explain for me :D my dads a truckie but he drives ridgid's not semi's,By the way,im from Australia so i don't understand you gearboxes etc,especially the use of NO clutch,freeked me out!Cheers
there is a clutch, and yeas an 18 speed uses the splitter button in all gears. That's the way it's been for a while I guess. I've driven four years and that's what it was then, before don't know that well.
If you watch me " Gearing an 18 wheeler" video, it may help you understand it alittle better
Sorry I am not the creator of the tape but I am also from Australia and maybe can just help out a bit. There is a clutch pedal and it can be theoretically used for all gearchanges (though the pedal is rather heavy and for how many gearchanges you could need it could become quite cumbersome). The gearboxes I guess are identical here with the 13 and 18 speeds and the shift pattern is not as hard at it looks. Mr. Suth's "Shifting a 18 speed" video provides a pretty good demonstration.
How can you say that? I live in England and drive a Volvo FM automatic 400. It's brand new and would piss all over that truck. The dash looks like something out of a world war two bomber!
Exactly, it's not plastic. It's got a classic look. I for one, don't like the "new" europian look. And I've driven Volvos. Peterbilts have more power, and alot mre comfortable.
Automatic? Thats lame, takes out the fun out of truck driving. My dad as a Volvo, and its comfortable as hell. A Volvo [conventional] with a Cat would be my dream truck, or a Peterbuilt.
Its a Peterbilt man are you kidding. They kind of have a reputation and its not made on B.S. I think any driver would prefer a kenworth or peterbuilt to any volvo if they had to personally own it.
why isn't the traffic moving?

- double-H (most in older trucks)
|
--> 1 to 4 --barrier- 5 to 8
to get from the slow group (1-4) into the fast group (5-8) you have to be in neutral and bash the shifter to the right and vice versa.
and a very similar kind of gear like in your video (in newer trucks, which havent got automatic)
we can split gears, too ;) (1 LOW .1 HIGH and so on)
this gears are only in heavy trucks

A jake is a type of engine brake that incorporates a extra lobe on the cam shaft, the valve operated by this extra lobe is electronically activated by a solenoid (switched on by the jake brake switch) to release compression on the piston at the opportune moment to maximize the pressure in the cylinder to slow the motor down. When this switch is on it will activate the brake whenever the accelerator pedal is released.

complicated shifter
nassestyle 3 years ago
not really. It's like driving a 4 speed manual. But each gear is 2 gears in 1, and you have to row through them twice. Becomes just as natural as driving a car.
dieselfumes34 2 years ago
As dieselfumes34 said, comes Natural after a while, and you never really use all them Gears in one go, you"ll perhaps do Split-Shifts. The Scanias i drove were 3 over 3 with a split on each gear making 12 speed with 2 Crawlers gears. In Europe we"re moving towards Auto and Semi Auto Boxes, ideal for inner City Areas like London where a lot of concentration is required outside the Cab as 20 million people try to commit Suicide in front of you.

you mean a Volvo plant in Poland? Man, we have Volvo buses in Budapest made in Poland. I don't want to hurt anyone, but the way those are put together is, well, outrageous....if one catches fire, you die in the plastic smoke. ;-)

I like the look of the interior in that pete. Everything looks simple and high quality just how a truck should be.I live in the Uk and drive a volvo, its a piece of junk. The interior is just filled with acres of crappy plastic. The engines aren't up to much and it has a syncronized gearbox so you have to use the clutch for every shift. Give me a CAT and roadranger anyday.

i don't get this slipitting stuff man
do you have a Clutch ??if so, y dont you have to use it ?are all 18 speeds or 13's or whatever have the splitter and no use of a clutch ?thats crazzzyy, makes driveing alot easyier,dang, or is it becos you got a new truck with some kind of sequential 18 speed please explain for me :D my dads a truckie but he drives ridgid's not semi's,By the way,im from Australia so i don't understand you gearboxes etc,especially the use of NO clutch,freeked me out!Cheers
steve1600datsun 3 years ago 2
there is a clutch, and yeas an 18 speed uses the splitter button in all gears. That's the way it's been for a while I guess. I've driven four years and that's what it was then, before don't know that well.
If you watch me " Gearing an 18 wheeler" video, it may help you understand it alittle better
seansuth 3 years ago
Sorry I am not the creator of the tape but I am also from Australia and maybe can just help out a bit. There is a clutch pedal and it can be theoretically used for all gearchanges (though the pedal is rather heavy and for how many gearchanges you could need it could become quite cumbersome). The gearboxes I guess are identical here with the 13 and 18 speeds and the shift pattern is not as hard at it looks. Mr. Suth's "Shifting a 18 speed" video provides a pretty good demonstration.

you would be suprised at how many buttins and guages there can be. It all depends on what your truck is set up for

How can you say that? I live in England and drive a Volvo FM automatic 400. It's brand new and would piss all over that truck. The dash looks like something out of a world war two bomber!
Kokoots 3 years ago
Exactly, it's not plastic. It's got a classic look. I for one, don't like the "new" europian look. And I've driven Volvos. Peterbilts have more power, and alot mre comfortable.

in america volvo is one of the cheaper trucks..when you have petes and kenworths why would you drive a volvo..plus european trucks are ugly

yea, that dash is what makes it bad ass!! American made trucks are the best, regarless of what you think. Made in USA, the best!!

Automatic? Thats lame, takes out the fun out of truck driving. My dad as a Volvo, and its comfortable as hell. A Volvo [conventional] with a Cat would be my dream truck, or a Peterbuilt.

Its a Peterbilt man are you kidding. They kind of have a reputation and its not made on B.S. I think any driver would prefer a kenworth or peterbuilt to any volvo if they had to personally own it.
