Wow that thing is really clean. Nice pics!

Truck is very hott! Maybe one day I'll get my lazy a$$ to my dads and shoot some of his trucks! He has a '88 Freightliner w/ studio sleeper! Very nice.

What do you need/want to know? It works just like any other manual tranny.

So the action is the same, but I've seen 18 speed transmissions and such. Is there another set of sort of...low-range gears that count as another set of ratios?

On my 10/12 speed trucks that I drive, when I hit the 5/6 gear, I flip a switch and it sends into the second set of gears. First becomes 6/7, second becomes 7/8 and so on. Later, QD.

Ah, gotcha. I guess older trucks had an additional gear-knob rather than a switch...I'm going by something I saw in that CMT show. It's like..."Pimp My Ride" for trucks. Thanks!
