Oh, we have super trucker Matthew Kelley here, expert truck driver right out of the womb, never made any gears grind in a semi in his entire life. Let me guess, you probably drive one of those automated pieces of shit that does all the shifting for you.....
Mitch S actually i own an 05 379exhd with a 13 speed, do I miss shifts, of course, do I sit there and grind gears until I find one, only when some 4-wheeler pissed me off and I can't remember what gear I was in lol but seriously, I bump the gears, I don't grind them, grinding gears is how you tear a truck up, transmissions aren't cheap so I'd like to keep mine together as long as possible.
if you float, tap the throttle wile lightly pushing the stick into neutral to drop it into neutral, then just push the stick into the lower gear till you feel the gears touch, rev and she slides right in. Easiest way to downshift if you dont want to look at the RPM's
If he's a new driver I will cut slack but I would not let him drive any rig of mine until he learned how to float and not grind so much hamburger. Truck sounds great though. !
All these damn fools act like they never do... That's a lie... I'm a diesel mechanic... And I see them slowing down to come into the shop or leaving the shop ... With thier own trucks.... Like damn buddy grind it. You can hear it a mile away... But they always get out like they are big Billy badass... And don't know the first thing about thier own truck... So I always ask... How long you been driving? Oh since I was 15 blah blah blah.... I just gve them the nod.... Don't get.me wrong there are damn good drivers but only once they get past the fact that size of their ego compensates for that Vienna they are giving.their wife or lot lizzard.
What are you doing with your left leg pumping it the only time you should use the clutch is to pull off and stop. Listing to your engine she'll let ya know when to feed her another gear.
Ok , I hear this a lot from guys who don't drive trucks but used too ! If you don't use your clutch then fine but I can promise you , you can do somebody else's clutch like that in a road test ! I tell the older guys who say things like that , not to , because it's why they never get another chance ! Show me a clean shifting video with a load on grades without use of clutch other than take off , and I want some stop lights in it too ! I know it can be done but I wanna see it ! Actually , imma go look now ! Lol
I didn't look really long but didn't find what I wanted on UA-cam because I know downshifting with heavy loads is going to be a bitch. You ain't going to downshift at a stop light and your jake ain't gonna help either because your left foot is going to jam on the clutch, once you waste a couple of seconds trying to get a gear without clutch. Then your right foots gonna jam on the brakes with your clutch down too ! I know you guys just eat up brakes in no time ! Learn to do it right and your in control all the time , no matter the situation !
paleface8 Erm, no. Comin' from a young guy, shifting without the clutch has nothing to do with age. Nobody who's actually a proficient driver shifts with the clutch. It's a waste of time, waste of clutch and a sure fire way to guarantee you a spot on some surgeon's operating table with a spent knee early on in your life. Doesn't matter what I'm driving, where I'm driving or what kind of load is on my truck, the clutch is only there to keep me from stalling while I'm stopped. If my wheels are turning, my left foot is on the floor board.
I hear what your saying but I also hear grinding gears in every truck stop from what your saying ! Plus heavy haulers would never down shift without clutch , you could rip teeth off !
+paleface8 your way off. Like n8bolton said a good driver can shift it right and smooth no matter the load. Up shifting or down shifting. Just have to know how to do it. Remember "slow and steady wins the the race" when it comes to shifting.
kenworths have the best interior out of all trucks idk what anyone says a kenworth w900l 600 cat 18 speed 411 rears and the vit interior is the bees knees and it will walk the dog and kick the cat lol
nice I actually drive a 15 speed Kenworth W900L now. Love the truck. The company just switched to Volvo though and got a bunch of those new 12 speed automated trucks which I fear i'll get one. I've hear they are nice trucks but combine a tired driver with quiet and comfort, and there could be problems, plus the fact that you do not need to focus on shifting.
A.) Kid is eager to learn how to drive, that is far from destroying a gear box, I am 100% positive that is not the first time this truck has seen a little bit of hardship. It's got an Eaton Fuller 15 speed, they're built for it. B.) Yes those transmissions are not synchronized like cars i. In order to match gears you have to manually match your engine speed to your road speed by releasing the clutch which creates a direct connection between the flywheel and the transmission input shaft which is connected to the twin countershafts. As the engine RPM increases, the input shaft speed increases, and vise versa. Once the gears on the transmission main shaft, which is connected directly to the wheels via the differential and drive shaft, reach the same speed as the countershafts, it will shift into gear.
"if you cant find 'em, grind 'em" nowhere have more true words been said my friend
You're a moron...
But its true
Matthew Kelley you ain't no driver unless you grind em at some point

Words cant explain how much I love this video
this sound is music to my ears
***** comme le web est petit =) Rien de plus beau qu'un magnifique son de kenworth
Clutch only on take offs...forget what they told you in truck driving school...lol
yeah if you dont own the bitch.
Who goes to truck driving school?
scpd613 😭
Takin off an backin up is what that far left pedal is for
i LOVE that kenworth it sounds so good!!!
The sound of a Jake Break in the morning 😍😍
I can listen to that beautiful song all day everyday
That truck sounds sweet
Chriss you and Justin have a lot of fun together and I enjoy it
I had a W-900 with. 500 HP CAT 3406, and Fuller 18 speed. Loved that truck. Would roll 75 mph up the hills with 80,000 lb.
That Jake brake sounds amazing
Somebody needs to learn how to shift without the clutch lol
Justin and Chris you can match the gears with the gas and not use the clutch. Give it gas to down shift and let the engine wind down on the up shift.
Clutch or no clutch is personal preference. I prefer no clutch but both are equally effect. This young lad just needs some practice
if you float, tap the throttle wile lightly pushing the stick into neutral to drop it into neutral, then just push the stick into the lower gear till you feel the gears touch, rev and she slides right in. Easiest way to downshift if you dont want to look at the RPM's
Sweet video man!! Keep them rolling!! Justin, work on your shifting man! Should make another video when Justin gets better.
He's really using that Jake break .
I love the gearing down what a sound
Can't blame him ... New driver .. Just takes sometime to figure it out ..
+Skavenger M. Of coarse he can be blamed.
You Guys r simply a "Class Act"!!lol Great Great Videos!!!..Keep Bring'em!!
Nasty jake brake! Music to my ears
That truck sounds so good
good job !! you will be a pro like the big mouths one day !! lol
que ronco nunca tinha ouvido um som de um caminhao americano top !!
the sound of a cat jaking is just the most wonderful thing...there aint nothing like driving a bulldozer :D
awesome vid love the Jake you can never over use the Jake ! ! !
Except in a residential area. Be A responsible trucker and don’t subject the residents to the load noise. Jake sounds good to us, not them.
JUSTIN!!!! 15 speed! 5 on the bottom and 5 on the top not 4! or to be exact 5 in LL 2 in Low and 5 in high!
my mind must have been on an 8LL
yeah the blue button would be for 8LL 13 speed direct or 15 speed. Grey button 18 speed and red button for 13 speed overdrive or underdrive.
damn that sounds Good! what motor do you have in it?
Rookie shifting.. nice w900 👍
That sound.......... Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Lol.
yeah gotta love a jake brake
deere kubota We all do. Haha.
Love2boat92 I had to towel off after this video
Charley is thinking: what the hell was I thinking letting these to Yahoo's take my truck?
Not bad for never driving the truck before! Ain't nothing like a Detroit!
Nice sound!!!
That sounds awesome
Love the video man !! Do more lol
I like the sound of that jake brake.
he did a good job nice video have a good day
Detroit has that small thump winding up and thumping with cackle on Jakes. Cummins has a rap to it
Grinding The Gears quite a bit
I wish my Paccar MX-13 sounded like that on the Jake Brakes lol!!!!!!
If he's a new driver I will cut slack but I would not let him drive any rig of mine until he learned how to float and not grind so much hamburger. Truck sounds great though. !
Brill motor shame we cant have more kw in the uk plus peterbuilts too
Nice sound
AWESOME.
He's just trying show off his grinding/forcing them gears skills! You sure can grind em!
I that the house your doing the demo on at 1:07?
Got to show him shifting through the gears my son want to see what I mean flips the switch for hi or low range.
Where is this at? looks familiar.
Grind grind grind grind
Have you tried a VOLVO truck?
Are those Carolina woods 🤔🤔🤔
Anyone who says they never grind gears is a liar. Everyone grinds em once in awhile
Ben Krauss
Yes sir exactly
It just happens once on a while
All these damn fools act like they never do... That's a lie... I'm a diesel mechanic... And I see them slowing down to come into the shop or leaving the shop ... With thier own trucks....

Josh Davies 12.7 Detroit 60 series
rookie,keep your ass in the seat,very nice truck,old school like me
@0:41 Give it more fuel before you downshift. Thats why your grinding. beautiful cab btw
+Ravaill23 part of the problem was he was shifting a 15 speed like a 9, I know this because this is my truck and it really is a smooth shifting truck.
+copperheadmarine You must've cringed more than me seeing as it's your truck
Can't fine em, you grind em!
Ignorance is bliss I guess
How much horse power does that have

kenworths have the best interior out of all trucks idk what anyone says a kenworth w900l 600 cat 18 speed 411 rears and the vit interior is the bees knees and it will walk the dog and kick the cat lol
you dont have to be lonely at volvosonly.com lol
Yea but no two alike trucks are the same. Chances are one of the two is the POS. That's how it always goes.
I remember driving a truck for the first time too Hahahaha. I've seen worse lol.
9 speed or 13 speed?
+Mitch S 15
nice I actually drive a 15 speed Kenworth W900L now. Love the truck. The company just switched to Volvo though and got a bunch of those new 12 speed automated trucks which I fear i'll get one.

+Mitch S id probably be begging to keep the 15 speed lol

Cummins ?
Serise 60 Detroit 12.7L

Horse Power ?
Jarek Piech 450
you should never be allowed to drive an right again. God that was painful
don't slame it into gear God Damm
Wow he can't even shift and keeps trying to use the clutch.
your friend is cool with destroying his gearbox?
lmfao
If I'm right its a non synchronized transmission so you will grind some
A.) Kid is eager to learn how to drive, that is far from destroying a gear box, I am 100% positive that is not the first time this truck has seen a little bit of hardship. It's got an Eaton Fuller 15 speed, they're built for it. B.) Yes those transmissions are not synchronized like cars i.

Sounds like a Cat c15
Ahh okay just it sounds very similar
to my granddads
Oh i didn't know that thanks for the information.
jarrod flowers this truck have a detroit series 60 12.7L
@ ça sonne le N14 en sacrement entk
Detroit? LOL only think that because it sounds esactly like our t800 with straights
LMFAO actually watching it I noticed you still have "Mufflers" Too XD When I said straights I ment we did the same thing :P
+Trav Lado yes
oh god the grinding is horrible on the gears. clutch right or that truck will be on the rack replacing the gears and its not cheap I tell you ..
Fuck the clutch, float that shit.
+Matthew Kelley lol he cant even use the clutch correctly lmao
+Matthew Kelley True that.
What all the grinding? You don’t use the clutch once you start moving.
that is better then sexy
i feel bad for that trani
U stupid
Sounds like all of you need to go haul milk and learn how to shift.Put about 40000 lb in a 8000 gal tanker.
