This video is for new drivers on the new Maxx Force training video. The engine is manufactured by International Truck & Engine and is in the new 2009 model trucks.
Navistar`s ProStar in my opinion having 2 yrs of operating experience with them has left me wondering.Why did the engineering stop so short with these trucks.It is a constant electronic malfunction battle.With seemingly meaningless engine warning messages.This is according to International Tech.In my opinion fleet owners dont get rid of your 9400 series so soon till this manufacture gets with it.In my professional opinion they have left out the most important consideration and thats value.
So with a limiter set at 1500 and best engine breaking at around 2000..........how in the hell are you supposed to get back under a slide. The jakes on this are not effective for low traction scenarios. Scary.
i got out of a detroit 60 and every shift was at 17-18 and smooth. i try shifting this engine the same and it never goes in smooth. i feel like a noob now. and bobtailing these things is one hell of a rodeo ride.
so if we are to downshift at 1100 rpm. what do we raise rpms to to drop to the next gear? my truck revs up to 2000 rpm thru all gears. its so hard for me not to raise the rpms up to 18-2000 before shifting. but in doing so i have a hard time getting a clean shift. im pulling 80000 every load all the time. i noticed shifting at the lower rpm it goes in smoother but its so hard not to rev up.
wow 5 min. at 1000 rpm... a detroit dd15 you dont even need to think about ideling... just start it and go

@pwarren1010 I agree with you. The Prostars are beautiful looking trucks, but they do have many electrical/software quirks to work out.
