@@hunterbiles5549The only trucks that have a manual are the Toyota Tacoma, and Jeep Gladiator. Both midsize trucks. There are no more full sized manuals being made (I think RAM was the last to offer one in 2018)
@@jam2theongie836 Diesels don't really have any effective engine braking, unless the vehicle is equipped with a jake brake or an exhaust brake. I still wouldn't coast in one because coasting wastes fuel
This video brings back a lot of memories. My brother still has his 1996 extended cab 4wd, manual transmission. It only has 125,000 miles and it'll always be his baby.
@@professionalredneck7920his is a dulley also were ur ain't I like the single wheels trucks better cause u can get 4x4 with them all the dually in these years were 2x4
I miss those old 7.3s my dad had one I always wanted it but one winter night he had it plugged in and it caught fire, it had over 400 thousand on it and pulled anything, it was a 97 250
I've got one of these with the crew cab 460 gas. It sucks fuel but it's one hell of a strong, tuff truck. Not a daily driver with the price of fuel. Maybe 10 miles to the gallon.
A little note: when you stop an heavy truck like this, you need to use a engine breaking, putting the previous gear and release the clutch without use the throttle, the engine slowly breaking the truck without pedal brake. 👍🏻
my EBPV has a switch to manually activate it, i sometimes use it as an exhaust brake. i like to save my clutch and just use the pedal to brake though normally
brakes are cheap and clutches and transmission work isn't. also downshifting in load and lead to wearing the teeth the synchro ride on at an angle and it will pop out of gear the more they wear. diesel's dont engine brake the trans is what is slowing you down and that can be harsh on gearing especially while towing. brakes are cheap, and zf6's aren't easy to find. also evpensinve to buy new ones, ask me how I know.
I think my overdrive is out or it's the way the gearing set up in the actual rear end I have a sterling rear end they don't know what gear is in it is a dually 1997 F350 powerstroke I change the transmission once and I'm running close to 3,000 RPMs at 70 miles an hour which I thought was kind of odd
@@conejoperez3213 tienes que ir bajando los cambios con anticipacion de llegar a un alto sueltas el embrague suave para que no se sobrerevolucione y asi no gastas tanto freno
@@patoesfendi hice cambios descendentes para ir frenando y se me revolucionó mucho la camioneta No sabía que tenía que sacar el embrague lentamente para evitar que se revolucione mucho
@@conejoperez3213 Si, por ejemplo si vaz a llegar a una señal de alto y por decir traes el carro en 3era o 4ta tienes que ir frenando y vaz bajando de a cambio por vez pero soltando el embrague despacio si no se sobrerevoluciona y pega un brinco el motor
@@conejoperez3213 si bajas los cambios soltando el embrague despacio no tendría por que revolucionarse, eso si no uses el acelerador para nada solo freno y cambios desendentes
Chassis cabs, standard pickups (atleast diesels) were 2wd. Was a rusted out 7.3L (forget whether IDI or PS) F350 chassis cab on local CL a while back.
@@bielmelichartes2167 A ver para empezar poner neutro a 50mph definitivamente está mal, empezando por ahí. Y segundo, a menos que estés manejando un auto o camioneta de mediados de los 70 (o anterior) manual, todos los autos tienen sincronizados, por mucha velocidad que agarres si engranas la marcha que sea va a entrar porque PARA ESO son los sincronizadores, Y SÍ, ESTAN DISEÑADOS para engranar las marchas a cualquier velocidad mientras sea en la misma trayectoria es decir, mientras no intentes poner marcha atrás en movimiento no va a pasar nada. En ese caso de la marcha atras ya depende del auto, algunos no tienen sincronizada esa marcha puesto que todo el mundo engrana esa marcha estando parados. Muy distinto es poner 2da por ejemplo o una marcha que no es la que tiene que ir a una velocidad exagerada, lógicamente se va a romper todo. Si tanto problema hubiera con poner 2da a 35mph entonces literalmente todas las cajas manuales estarían destruidas pero no, para eso son los sincros.
As common as it is, starting out in 2nd in these trucks is harder on that gear. First is not a “granny” gear, and is actually the correct way to drive a ZF5.
The manual gearbox is a real work camp especially in such beasts. The unfortunate driver has made a billion movements with his foot and hand when he could have avoided them with an automatic transmission which, especially in America, is also abundant in trucks
Una pregunta y una discupa a la vez tengo una 97 Ford f350 5.8 XLT una troca de Gas se le puede poner freno de motor o no o tiene que ser de Diesel engine Gracias por su information
