[g89956]

makes ur truck pidifill

[warmfurrs]

that is the coolest cabover I have ever seen. sounds awesome and looks great

[MRHardtrucker]

Thats bitchin

[maxracingteam23]

yeah whats up with the wheels not spinning?

[gorgage3]

wow nice overtaking with stopper on

[9EngineTower]

i got 2 fire trucks at my firehouse that sound just like that

[christiaanajcronje]

goeie werk kerel.... load sum more

[smellmyfartgas]

that was a smooth down-shift!

[Veikster177]

Jst to let u all no tat wasn't all the truck tat made Jake break. Did u see tat refer it was on so tat is wat made it louder then it sounded like

[robby844]

@Veikster177 what why are you talking about tattoo's?

[IceWolf1102]

anyone notice the wheels aren't spinning on the redArgosy? is that a glitch in the movie capture?

[p154831]

it looks like they arent spinning but that happens sometimes because of how fast they r going

[GuyLafleur2]

@IceWolf1102 Actually, that's not a glitch or anything. What you're seeing is exactly what is happening. The fps (frame per second) capture of the camera is perfectly timed with the rotation of the wheel. So every time the camera takes a frame, the holes are at the same place as they were on the previous frame. The wheel can spin at only a fraction of the fps of the camera, it doesn't really matter.

[Semitruckman101]

@IceWolf1102 Its just the cammera and the trucks are going just about the same speed at a vary high speed

[maverickmule]

@Semitruckman101 Gone down that mountain a lot meself and there ain't no way you can go down it fast unless, you're empty or you'd like the emergency guys to come unstrangle you from a toll booth,

[Semitruckman101]

@maverickmule then they were pry empty

[GTAVolvo]

@IceWolf1102 If you look good in the mirrors you can see the wheels spinning

[robby844]

@IceWolf1102 youre just high thats all

[missana888]

@IceWolf1102 really? pretty kool tho

[motormayhemthevideos]

@IceWolf1102 Frame rate of the video is at such a speed that the tire is always in the same place when the frames are taken so it looks like they are not moving.

[carcrusher1]

@IceWolf1102 Its an illusion, when the wheels spin a certain speed, it creates the illusion that they are not spinning. they also at a certain speed look like they are spinning backwards. Its weird but kinda neat.

[pdqasapdamnit]

@IceWolf1102 When the wheel speed matches the shutter speed of the camera the wheels will look frozen. As the wheel speed gets faster than the shutter speed the wheels will actually start to look like they are rotating backwards. Optical illusion case by shutter speed.

[gratscot]

@IceWolf1102 Video is captured at 32 fps. If the wheels are moving at just the right speed they are in the exact same spot on every picture making it look like the wheels arent moving. This happens alot, thats why the old horse dawn buggys look like the wheels are going backwards on film and things of that nature.

[2066241]

@IceWolf1102 There spinning but the cameras frame capturing is too slow

[DriveChain01]

Love that sound

[Truckaholic123]

where was this video made??

[maverickmule]

@Truckaholic123 South Africa, on the N1, close to a town called De Doorns

[JOTA430]

big red freightliner :P

[trickster256s]

not many are in maryland but a few are

[nordyk2]

What is a jake brake ??

[tobermyster]

the difference is on the compression stroke. Air is compressed to approximately 500PSI by the engine piston. The energy required to compress this air is produced by the vehicle's driving wheels. Near top dead center, the Jacobs Engine Brake opens the exhaust valves, venting the high pressure air and dissipating the stored energy through the exhaust system.

[tobermyster]

Power Stroke

On the downward stroke, essentially no energy is returned to the piston (and to the driving wheels). There is a loss of energy. This loss is how the retarding work is done.

[Mxdude737]

the thing that goes TTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR  RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR on the red truck =P

[100000014]

an engine compression brake that closes the valves in an engine in order to slow the vehicle (ie an engine retarder)

[heatherrose2006]

Jake brake refers to the brand name

"Jacob's Engine Retarder Brake"

After the compression stroke, as the fuel is ignited,

before the power stroke, the exhaust valves are

opened by a electric solenoid actuated oil pressure

powered piston. Instead of allowing the combustion

to push the piston downward, the energy is vented

out the exhaust. As there is no power stroke,

the compression stroke provides acts to slow the engine.

[454sskilla]

can someone tell me exactly wat a jake brake does?

[hayliscape]

yeah sure thing mate. many people get a exhaust n jake mixed up. a jake brake brings the compression out of the cylinders to create a vacume to slow a diesel down, a gas car does it with throttle let off. a exhaust brake cuts off flow and sucks in, commonly found on the 6.7l dodge cummins, hoped this helped, thanks.

[jizzmonger]

Wow! That truck almost looks like a fire engine!

Beautiful trucks in some beautiful country making some beautiful sounds!

[Mikelaren101]

nice, can you still get the Argosy in north america?

[bearhaulin120]

yes but i wont fit in

search truckpaper

[rockee06]

Used yes...

[travishartley]

ya man i have saw a few here in ontario canada

[hundanth]

Kitty Cat!

[8laneblacktop]

Wow, very cool!

That's a beautiful mountain pass. How steep and long is the grade?

Every jake I ever had was muffled.

One thing a mechanic used to tell me was that when drivers thought the jake was ineffective, he would punch a hole in the muffler with a screwdriver so it'd get a litttle louder and the driver happier.

[19mstag]

freightliner make it. they r owned by damlier chrystler and r made in canada somewhere

[riolindasucks]

The Argosy is made in Cleveland, Ohio. The Freightliner Plant in St. Thomas, Ontario makes the Sterling truck line, a subsidiary of Freightliner.

[sisutrucks]

argosy still being made?.

[riolindasucks]

I don't know. One website for Freightliner still has Argosy listed but the Daimler Trucks North America site does not.

[lordtaw]

In Australia and New Zealand they are still making the Argosy. Shame cabovers are dead here in the US.

[sisutrucks]

crap, they drive on the wrong side of the road down under. it would be a hell of a job to fix that. not imposible i think. want one of these, must figure out something.

[ScotchRB30DET]

Yep, the Argosy is still going strong here in NZ, much like the K104B and K108 Kenworths as well, as well as a tonne of R580 and R620 Scanias, seems cabovers are more popular than ever over here.

[Twinturbo120]

They have argosy's in america but there a little hard to find. Truckpaper has some of them on the ads sometimes.

[sturgeonbrush2012]

she is not from canada anyway funny shaped truck who makes that

[Jerald9000]

that doesnt sound like a cat it sounds like a series 60 detroit

[kwbadge]

how many inch is the twin straight pipes

[19mstag]

only one problem. the truck is canadian shit

[DAF460]

south africa

[peterbiltexd]

damn that driver of that red truck must be proud

[chisetrucker]

wow that truck is serious man im definatly comming back to africa
