greetings from Venezuela, I liked how you started this video mentioning the truck you are using, I would like you to make these openings of your trips more often in your next videos, and if possible in other trucks such as a DAF or MAN or any other you have not used previously
It is V6 engine, you were showing the transmission. Mp4 (from 2013) MB trucks have inline 6 engines only and those engines are euro6, older actroses have V motors
I can very good remember this sound when my dad had to unload some meat instead his colleague and he took me with him,that happened 2x an 2nd time we slept in that truck it was so awsome experience! man
I like this truck, but i also like the newer, does your company have actros mp4 (euro6)? But first of all i like the fm440 it sounds great, in low speed there's something like whining or wind sound, its engine sound is also great and also the engine brake. One day i want to drive FM/FH 440 with that sound
Sorry for double comment. Engine brake doesn't work under 900 rpm, the most power you can get from the engine when accelerating is between 1200-1800rpm. If you press gas pedal real hard it should have "kick down" function to down shift if needed and to hold rpms to the 1800 rpm and change gear (when using automatic mode) for only 1 gear going uphill. If you have engine brake on and using auto mode for shifting it will change gears up for only 1 gear. When going uphill don't let the rpms drop below 1400 rpm. Enigne brake has the same power from 2000 rpm to 900 rpm. I should come from Slovenia up to you to show you more Mercedes tricks to help you out with the driving and I would like to try driving a Volvo. I've been driving Mercedes trucks for 6 years now.
You can drive it in 800 rpms but not with 60t more like 30t, well 60t in traffic 800 rpm is not bad but when you need to accelerate quicker than down shift a gear. Mercedes is lazy it needs revs to pull. Not being a teacher or ashole just trying to help you out and telling you what have I discovered and what the others told me :)
