Let me clarify something wrong that I said in this video: I said 10,000 RPM’s and 15,000 RPMS. What I meant was 1,000 and 1,500. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused!
Very helpful. I’m in the process of trying to get my restriction lifted and this helps me a lot. I’m trying to switch gears way too fast. This helped a lot
Give the guy a break perhaps it was his first upload on shifting gears. MORE IMPORTANTLY focus on the technique and description as to HOW he is demonstrating the maneuver now thats ALOT better than most on UA-cam. Good job
Agreed. Unless you are riding a crotch rocket, you aren't going to see those kinds of RPM's, but anyone who knows anything about engines already knows that. This is a good video.
Videos never show enough. If there is a slight change in grade, it affects the RPm's or if you have to slow down abruptly. I can go on and on. This is why I preach use the speedometer as a guide, not the RPMs
@@hatersgotohell627 it’s easier for semi truck drivers because driving semi’s with a clutch is already very close to floating, you’re just removing the clutch element whereas in cars most people aren’t used to raising the rpm’s up before the shift.
Are you aware that your truck has a redline of 2500rpm… you keep saying bring the engine to 5,000-10,000-15,000 rpm lol. Your engine will explode at 3,000rpm…..😂
This doesn’t work for all trucks That’s what I’ve learned some trucks work smoother at 1400 rpm. And not 15 Some trucks higher gears need 15-17 rpm And lower gears 11-13 rpm Depends on truck and how quick and smooth you are with the shifter
I agree. My western star is a 10 speed and 3rd to 4th I shift at 900rpms. The 4th to 5th I shift at 1000. Then into 6th I shift at 1100. Then all my high range gears I shift 1500-1900 depending on the road

Instruction unclear blew engine
I really appreciate your wonderful videos teaching we the new drivers how to float … thanks a lot

Excellent Video !!! Good way of explaining first and then practically showing ,how it works is Amazing.
The Semi I am in is about 20rpm to shift into neutral. I am really new at this like 1 week getting better but still grinding gears alittle bit

RPMS when learning your truck then speedometer once you know when to shift is for sure the best way to go. Gotta agree with you there.
Upshift
1300rpm clutch neutral clutch low gear
1500rpm clutch neutral clutch hi gear
Downshift
1000rpm maintain clutch neutral 1300rpm clutch Downshift
That's a good video
Great video..Thanks!!💯
Cool vid! Thanks!
You are the best bro ❤ thx 👍
Very Best video
@ what rpm to down shift 4th and 5th?
Can you shift in a car without clutch and if not why not and yet on here you can
You can, it is only a matter of matching the speed of the next gear to your engine rpm’s
@@freery-fi so is that what is done here too. I keep hearing ppl talk about floating gears in commercial trucks but not cars that's why

@@freery-fi hmm interesting I'm still confused tho why it's easier lol
@@hatersgotohell627 do you have a manual car?
what do you get when doing this? Whats the point of not using the clutch?
More efficient shifting, less wear and tear on the clutch.
And go easy on ur legs as some clutches are harder.
You keep saying 5 thousand rpm rule it’s 5 hundred not thousand
You keep saying the wrong rpm. Wayyyyy off rip to a newbie that doesn't check the comments.
the tach says x 100 NOT x 1000, good gosh...
You forgot T bar flip up to 6th

Its 100 intervals. And you shift it at 300 intervals not 5. Give 3 to downshift, take away 3 to upshift🤦♂️
