- 92 peterbilt 379 with factory 6x4. I figured everyone shows how they toss them clubs so I would to. If you would like to see some more trucking content or things related to being an o/o suck as maintenance or rebuilds let me know. #6x4 #spicer #peterbilt #379
That is a good video on the right way to shift twin boxes. I wish more drivers would take pride in the way they drive. I would also like to see some more trucking content. Also, I am an owner operator of over forty years so I have seen a lot of supposedly truck drivers that were not. Good video.
That long gone with this new breed of drivers smfh
Exactly
@@Dachamp2001I’m young but I grew up around trucking my whole life my dad told me to do it the old school way lol and in my opinion it’s the only way to do it
That click is one of the most satisfying sound I've ever heard.
I have to agree
@@dustinmitchell5354 I miss shifting a 6x4.
As smooth as Mr. Clean shifting his broom around
I Agree! And that Interior 👏🏻
I haven’t shifted a 6+4, but I have driven an old Mack dump truck with an old V-8 two stroke Detroit diesel and a 5+4. Man I miss those days. By the way, that click sound IS awesome. Great shifting!
Good shifting - very smooth. That's how it should be done... not just banging the gears hard and shoving it in. It's all about timing, and matching road speed to the revs. Well-done! A full load just slows every movement down a little bit.
That and the spicer 6-4 5-4 didn't stand for shove it in make it work they got the nick name wrist breakers for a reason
That's how it's done...smooth! That drivetrain will last forever. Real professional at the wheel!
All fun and ganes with the Spicer until those linkages line up and lock together. Then you gotta pull it over and crawl under it with a crow bar and force those linkages loose so you can move again lol
Good job, truck driver.
I've never got the opportunity to drive a 2 stick. Never even seen one in person. It's one of the last challenges in the trucking world I haven't done.
I drive one-stick-manuals for more than 30 years. I am sure I will never drive a 2-stick-manual
I ran a 62 thermodyne Mack, 230hp and a 5&4. You shifted if you saw a hill on the horizon! Lol.
Nice and easy, need to get tires balanced, forty plus years here. I know that cab shake. Well done on the gears! 👍
Wow, just wow! Awesome shifting, if I could ever be half as smooth as that I would be very happy. Great stuff!
A smooth shift, click and done. Nice job!
She's pretty smooth at shifting them gears
I'll let that she part slide this time
And notice how he doesnt use both hands on shifters?? Proof once again that you don’t “have to” do it that way and it’s just dangerous
When you know your boxes they click🔥
I freakin love this video. Just 😊a beautiful thing man. Safe travels my brother...that’s ah 379 Pete ain’t it? Nice ride.
Absolutely brilliant video man perfect audio and everything can you please do more like this one only a lot longer because I love the sound of it sounds great thanks man you stay safe
You are smooooothh !!, that trucwill last you a long time. Good luck🍀🍀🇺🇸
This guy is a great 2 stick artist
Great example of the right way to shift , matching your engine speed with road speed and
not just banging gears.
Thank you.
Great job, that truck sounds SO GOOD
The last challenge for me in the trucking industry. Problem is I can’t find anyone that has one . Buddy of mine told me it’s a pain in the you know what but he told me once I got the hang of it I wouldn’t want anything but a set of clubs.
I want to learn one of these. No one will steal my truck LOL
1984 Chevy C30 yep don’t have to worry about it getting stolen. I asked an owner friend of mine to teach me the 6x4, he said get in it and drive and that’s how i learned
I know right and that's back when trucking was trucking now days them trucks are pussafied with auto transmissions.
Yeah unfortunately 😕
@@stevegale6000 here in the U.K we're 99% auto boxes,a stick shift has become a rare sight,as an older driver my left knee appreciates not having a clutch pedal to press,especially in traffic 🤣🤣,the flip side is anyone can drive them,which his handy for the firms here that use foreign drivers,as we're righthand drive,and the ones that have come here from Europe,are used to lefthand drive the same as your trucks,so it's one less thing to think about,i'd be bloody useless trying to change gear with my right hand 🤣🤣
Well done my man,...Professional and just smooth as hell.Now that’s using the force right there cause ah lot of em’ can’t do it.
Please don't use the word " hell", if u spent 20 seconds there, u wouldn't ever say that word again ! Thanks, just to let u know I'm no better !!
Nice,smooth changes...
The steering wheel is really cool!
I love these twin sticks. I have a 93 fld freightshaker with a b model and factory sticks. Also a 359 with a 3408 and a set of sticks too haha
Not trying to be the person to correct everybody but if it's a 93 Freightliner it's a c model cat not a b . They made both b and c peec's and they made both b and c mechanicals. Just guessing does your engine prefix start with 3zj and the pump 7e5888 the 7e5888 is a c model pump 7w3906 was the b. They look the same but a lot different internals
@@dustinmitchell5354 build sheet states a b model cat was ordered with the spicer boxes and aluminum rails. I can check numbers when I get back home tho.
@@Jschwanger89 I know they probably call it a b peterbilt did mine as well but B's ended in 91 they most commonly start with prefix 7fb or 4mg
@@dustinmitchell5354 from the build sheet its a 3zj. So must be a c model. Ill have to check it out when I get to the truck in person.
@@Jschwanger89 3zj is definitely a sea model it's got the bigger rod journals and the dual scroll fuel fuel pump
Very smooth shifting there!
That’s smooth shifting 👍
Not bad mate . I prefer the 18 speed eaton fuller . Ive always found spicer boxes a little over complex for local work , but come into their own on interstate .
Why is that?
@@beunbad because , their complex shift pattern is labourious to use in an around town situation . But . With the advantage of skipping more gears , than u usually could with an eaton on a highway situation . With the right EXPERIENCED OPERATOR , they are a pleasure to operate
One of last twin sticks I reckon if that’s factory twin stick transmission! Few years later no more twin sticks in trucks from factory. I got twin sticks in my old A model Kenworth ‘79 3408 CAT…
I want to find a ‘78 or a ‘77 W924 Kenworth heavy duty with a 3412 V12 CAT or a KTA 600 Cummins plus twin sticks in that bad boy.
I’d put floaters on that big boy rub heavy haulin… old school. I’d love a big ass load of logs with truck like that
Very Smooth shifting. Hope to stick one of those in a 78Kwopper. There is not even one "2 stick" video on youtube of someone with a load, climbing a hill and having to row gears, downshifting. Everyone is empty or bobtail.
I'm loaded in this video and I don't have any cling a hill having to down shift
This is neat. I didn't know these existed until last night. Looks easier to me than the switches.
They really really are not that bad at all just look more complicated than anything but it's only truck I've ever drove
@@dustinmitchell5354 Like I said. Looks easier to me than the splitter and switch. I like it.
@@dustinmitchell5354 I’m a truck driver myself and the only transmissions I’ve ever driven was the ten and thirteen speed transmission I’ve never driven the twin stick transmission but I’ve seen them before
Smoother shifting I’ve ever seen
Thank you
West Texas ten speed! Ya don’t need it but it sure is fun once you learn to dance with it. Large car pumped up cat and 3:55 on tall rubber good for an honest 90
OUTSTANDING. Well Done. ! 🇺🇸🏆👍
Gona stuff a true twin stick in my buddies 389 not one the goofy toy kits you get at the chrome shop. This should still be a factory option 🤘🏻
If anything, twins sticks are nicer to shift than anything else. If the deutz tractor counts (6x3)
Never drove anything else I love them for sure.
Very smooth!!!
Traumhaft.Da stehen mir alle Haare zu Berge.Wenn man da einen neuen Trucker draufsetzt,wird er verzweifeln.
No thank you
I’ll take my S-10
My dad drove these
I started driving in 97
I now have a 2021 Automatic Volvo D13 and I don’t even wanna ever go back to a S-10
But much respect to those who still drive these dinosaurs for some reason
oh twin sticks the only way. I think most today only know how to put the lever in D for drive.
Looks like it would be a challenge for sure
Has anybody heard from Dustin ? I am the guy that sold him this 91 379. He has not posted any videos in a long time. Hoping he is ok. Thanks
Rip dustin
That's awesome,more videos please 👍
Damn that sounds good 😊👍
HUH ? LOL 🥴 I had the opportunity one time to operate a truck like that my brain would not wake up to do it
It's more intimidating than hard
Never seen a video with smoother shifts
Zero to 60 in 1.5....... Minutes...
Wow now that's the fun of driving, I don't know who came up with this auto shit
Well done.
Auxiliary and main 🙋
I'm surprised they were still making trucks with factory twin sticks by the '90s.
That's the way .
BADASS! SMOOTH OPERATOR! HAH
No clutch, very impressive
This guys good!
What's this drivers radio handle "old skinny jeans"
Sweet!
No, wonder they came up with the Super-10! It's my favorite! "
Keep coming back to this for the pleasure of watching it. Some guys it’s porn. Me, it’s trucks…
Rip dustin
Dustin have not seen any new videos. Hope the old girl is ok.
Awesome interior view ever kick off the boots and drive?
Not unless I was going to be stepping into the back I typically just stayed right there though and kept my boots on but I wouldn't come through the truck with my boots on at all
I've got a trainee I'm trying to break of arm wrestling the stick. Any advice. Oh. He likes to start in 3rd gear loaded. Small cummins and a 10 speed Roadranger.
No sir not really I've never drove anything else so I don't know how a 10 speed is it took a few but I just had to figure it out on my own and I was fast from good but eventually got smoother.
Yeah. Tell him to stop the 3rd gear nonsense. It is too hard on the clutch and driveline. Especially for trainer. Have him start in 1st like it or not. Maybe 2nd if empty. You can feel it isnt right so why do it. As far as arm wrestling the gearshift, you need to teach by example. If you shift nice and smooth, he should too. Here, I'll do it first and show you that you dont need force to get a gear in. Click/click. One, two. Now you do it. Grab the stick out of his hands if you have to. I used to teach shifting at a truck driving school.
Kick him out of the truck.
Anduve en un GMC brigadier con dos palancas al piso con tolva
I use too marry them sticks too the dashboard in my 1980 359 3408 DITA CAT. Set it up on the $$$ Go port to port in Wyoming. See what my best time was😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome man
Show man
...nice...
What is the plunger on the main? Do you have an 8 or 9 with auxiliary behind it
I dont see a plunger anywhere ?
4 state trucks sells this auxiliary shifter where it feels you have a 2 stick transmission
I've seen it. It's not the real thing though.
@@dustinmitchell5354 exactly! I love a 6x4 Spicer.
@@jimmycannon8057 imo it's the only thing to have and only thing I've ever drove. Bought this truck and got my license 10 days later
@@dustinmitchell5354 that's awesome. I sure miss driving an old 6x4. I ran an old Pete 3408v8 with a 6x4 and 3:70 rears. Don't ever sell that old girl. If you did I promise you will regret it.
dustin mitchell agreed 😎
what is the switch for
I guess at 1:36 the gear is in 4-3
Correct
wow,
I'm confused I'm a truck driver myself I've driven 18 speeds this is confusing for me
It's 2 transmissions 6 speed main and 4 speed aux so you have 24 forward gears and 4 reverses. Say you start in 2 and 1 you shift the aux on out to 4 then shift the main to 3 and bring your aux back to 2.
The axially box helps the main box. like a 10 speed bike.
Hey! you left out all the grinding noise.
Peterbilt 379??
Rapaz o painel desse carro parece de aviao kkkk
Até parasse um avião 😲
What's the engine driving the 6x4?
425c cat
you might need to show down shifting
So was that a girl or a boy driving I couldn't tell look like girl legs a guy hands
Sounds like ur doin about 150 mph
Haha the truck wouldn't go that fast then it would barely do a hundred but I sent built the engine since then.
and he is sitting on the floor..
All these “real” drivers talk about no one has pride you’re not a real
Trucker if you do this or drive this steering wheel holder blah blah blah. The only thing that matters is make the right decisions on the road and getting home safe. Get off your high horses.
Esta.parado no se esta moviendo pura farsa asi no maneja
Mjukt
😂😂😂 So ein Scheiss 😂😂😂 wo zu hat er den kompakten bequemen Schalter zerlegt in zwei 😂😂😂 wie in 80 Jahren Schalter .... totaler Quatsch.
What's the top speed for a truck with this setup?
Very smooth shifting sir ... you could teach classes 👍
Thank you sir. Love your channel
Your not so bad yourself
This is my brother from another and this truck is sweet!!! I had been driving a little while before he got this truck and of course being family we’ve took turns driving the other ones trucks but let me just tell ya a week or so after he got this big large and in charge unit home he tells me come see what I think about and I’m here to tell you right now and it may just be me and I’m over thinking the shifts or over complicating the shifts but I tell ya right now true twin sticks are a whole other ball game and I have drove nearly every single stick transmission there is from a 8ll to a ten speed to a super ten speed to a thirteen speed to a 15 over and yes it’s just considered over there’s no such thing as a 15 double over and then lastly a 18 speed but true twins are a lost art form and they take incredible skill to shift as smooth as he does and I’m lucky he’s just as good at changing um from the passenger seat or boy oh boy let me tell ya I’d a stayed under that truck getting the transmissions uncrossed lol but good video bubba keep tossin them sticks and chewing them tooth picks lol
Dad had a 79 KW 3408 cat with a 6x4 Spicer it was a sweet ride.
Shifting a twin stick is definitely an art form
Sweeeeet engine sound man!! Love the turbo whistle! Cool!
yay a real twin ...theirs like a billion fake twin videos up on youtube now lol... high low range selectors turned into secondary sticks is so lame
Start in a lower gear, that's why all those gears are there!
If they still used these transmissions maybe the drivers wouldnt have time to be riding down the road texting
The twin sticks should be used on natural gas trucks
Good job using clutch at 1:20 to make it all happen smoothly.
I am assuming this is a big Cat, but the RPM says Cummins...?
Don't y'all know how to just go click click and use two hands on both sticks at once ? No grinding, just very quick and smooth ? An do you know some grears are the exacty same used for climbing hills 100 rpm apart .... to gain a gear on the main ? Or to be able to drop a gear on a steep hill ....
Ah yes, the Spicer wrist breaker. Gotta take it easy, otherwise that thing will kick back hard.
Building up a 379 in about a year from now, still torn on 6X4 or RTO9513.:). After watching this I’m thinking 6X4.:). Very nice.
You won't be disappointed with a set of boxes. It's the only thing there is to me
@@dustinmitchell5354 Love your dedication
Great truck!
Smooth hand and easy foot click click c’mon
