    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    Well I did say all 809 series I started in second low and then went to second high but that was not the truth. The 816 wrecker was way too heavy so it was starting second low run through all the gears and high fourth and fifth high or she fall flat on her face. I don't use first low gear in a...

    Same here deuce or a 5-ton second low second high then run the other three out in high and no double clutching. Now the Fuller 10 speed I had in my GMC dump truck yes I could float the gears and take my time and match the RPM no problem. Now when I had 17 tons on and pulling a grade I would bump...
