  1. I've always said if you don't know the answer, somebody on the net does.
  2. HK, looks like you hit the nail on the head. I checked it out today and the shift pattern is the way you described. He's going by the HWY dept. Monday to take care of them and all parts for the air lines should be here also. I should have the tank strap repaired by then. After that I'll just haul when they call. When I get the hang of it, I'll help him study to get his CDL. I've tried to attach a pic, but it may be too dark. Thanks for the replies, Jeff
  3. I'm going back today, he needs an air line repaired and a tank strap needs welding. It was dark when I checked it out, but it fired up and ran great at 35 degrees. One shifter was straight and one had a knob on it. I'll find some of the ID stickers on it and get more info. Jeff
  4. Hey guys, I have a friend that bought a 1987 Mack twin stick roll-off dumpster truck and has asked that I do the driving for him. I'm am an industrial electrician turned teacher. I have my CDL and all of my experience is in an International 9 speed. I've seen several videos on you tube, but none actually explain what's happening as they go through the shift pattern. How many actual gears are there, are you splitting each as you go up, or do you go up so many and then split them? I know there's no substitution for time behind the wheel and that's coming up, but I also know I need to understand the process. Thanks in advance for your help. Jeff
