Hell, I've worked on semi-trucks and I can't even figure out the pattern he's shifting!

Hey 42,

Left hand shifter is the transfer case. Conventional "H" pattern. Top left is "Lo Lo Split" (very seldom used). Bottom left is "Lo Split". Bottom Right is "Direct". Top Right is "Hi Split".

Right hand shifter is the Transmission, which is 5 speeds. "Lo" and Reverse are normally found at the far Left. (not always) "Three Gates", just like a 5 speed car.

For Lo, the right shifter will be all the way "back" and "closest" to the driver.

2nd can be at either the "top" or "bottom" of the remaining "H" pattern.

For sake of simple, make 2nd at the "top".

To drive: Put trans in Lo. Put transfer case in Lo Split.

Let the clutch out (the only time you use the clutch is to pull out). Shift transfer case to Direct. Shift to Hi Split. Shift Trans to 2nd & Case to Lo Split. Then Direct. Then Hi Split.

Shift to 3rd Lo Split, Direct, Hi Split..........

Down shift in reverse order. Mind your speed/gear selection....

I learned to drive one in the 70's working for Firestone (off road) Tires. Our Boom Truck had a Quad ra Plex....

That made my head hurt.
Here's what I heard:
To drive: Put trans in Lo.Put transfer case in Lo Split.Let the clutch out (the only time you use the clutch is to pull out).Shift transfer case to Direct.Shift to Hi Split.Shift Trans to 2nd & Case to Lo Split.Then Direct.Then Hi Split.Shift to 3rd Lo Split, Direct, Hi Split..........Down shift in reverse order.
I think I got it.
It's opposite of current ones where you go thru all the gears in the trans, then change range and start over.
On this one you cycle thru the 3 ranges in each gear as you shift thru the gears in the trans.

Hey 42,

You got it!

Even though it "has" 20 forward gears.....mostly use 15 when loaded and 12 when empty (pull out in 2nd, when empty).

There are 4 "ranges"....only 3 are used.

Now, "couple that" with a "Jimmy"! (Detroit) !!

Full Throttle all the time!

See if I can find a vid?
