Sick vid, but you have mixed up the splitter with the high range and low range.

Finaly, a driver that knows what he's doing.

Thanks for presenting a "gearbox's view" of the RTLO-xx913 in action; things would probably be no more complicated for an Eaton-Fuller FRO-15210B/Spicer APO1750-4C tandem (with A-3546 Range selector below the APO's four-position selector knob on the FRO's shift lever).

nice vid, good shifting.

but probably abit confusing to new drivers out there watching and listening to the gear changes and the comentry, what i mean is that the range changer changes you from low to high range and the splitter gives you the direct or overdrive gears. so when giving the running comentary when splitting the gears it would have been better to say 5th direct/5th over, 6th direct/6th over and so on. just my opinion cos people will watch this for tuition.

i remember riding w/ my dad in '72 for pepsi. he had 3 sticks to deal with then, gears, range and the split, looked really complicated to me, not to him. ive driven dump trucks and mixers with eatons with and without splitters and must say splitters really make life easier. easier to find gears, less or no grinding, less stress on tranny. wish i was better at it. when i am done with firefighting i plan to go back to truck driving school then hit the road . city driving too hard on the knees.

Thats a good camera Angle. Nice Shifting!

[mikermhh]

not sure whos right but I,ve always called the first 4 gears low range then into high range and each high range gear had a low and high split.

[xXTylerMcGXx]

yup your right.

Once I get outta low range I call splitting the gears in high range low and high too.

Just shouldn't add the range in there , bad habit I guess. lol

[GOLTURBO555]

Eaton 18spd ve low and high in each gear... this is one 13 speed ...

[bob22338]

but u should drive 18spds and 13spds the same

[maverickman05]

i drive my 18 the same as the 13

[cipmars]

@maverickman05 It would've been strange if you did it the other way around! :))
