Yep, I Shift. I guess that's why they're not 800 horse. Paul was right (again) I was reading about them for almost an hour. Then there's the part about them running on vegetable oil.

I don’t think the guy knew what year it was that I bought it from, the cab and hood match with red and white paint scheme

Thats amazing. When I pulled MDrives out, i could pick them up and put them on a pallet for core returns.. how could a trans that light be strong enough to handle huge torque and truck trains as described? Must be a great engineering accomplishment... I havent a clue, just sayin..

66-67 lighter green 68-72 dark green… plastic tan dash started in 73 …. Someone might have changed the cab

I think they are just running the Ishift or Mdrive which ever you prefer to call it

Was told truck was a 76 but everyone I’ve seen has the brown dash and mine is green metal

Trump should know

Probably not much different than something with a KT in it years ago as far as weight goes. Do wonder what transmission would put up with it pulling a road train down under.

Probably need a weight permit just for the truck 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

How big would the transmission be, and the axles? I bet you would lose 3000 lb's of freight weight to be legal here in the U.S. just tossin my silly thoughts out there...

wow that was great,,bob

There is no trans pressure switch.. gear box pressure is vented, not monitored...

I'd drive it. Would be awesome to Have a truck with 700 plus Horseys!!!

Can you picture the flip flop wear'n VNL drivers (lol) with one of those ? 😂 drivers

That's the reverse light switch.

Ill look into neutraling valves and see if i can compare them. Unfortunately the trans is in my 89 already so not factory harnesses to diagnose with.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I should be heading to the shop tomorrow. I can test the switch and see what it is. Reverse switch is above the shifter. Not sure what the sensor with the orange zip tie is. Maybe trans pressure?

I was doing my truck trailer training when that show was a big hit. They even used to play the theme on radio stations.

I think I spelled kotter wrong

That was such an innocent show to watch.. The rebels that they were is childs play compared to what teens are doing today...

Much more, our parents knew all the neighborhoods parents we used to have really cool block parties back in the day

Hell, I forgot all about him. It’s one of those sweat hogs welcome back cotter

My age...

How old do we have to be to get this one?

Without doing some research I would suggest that Volvo is one of the bigger sellers in Australia But it really depends on what part of Australia, if you live in QLD Mack in rural linehaul type operations would out sell Volvo, get into the more southern areas of Australia and the fleets are more Volvo than Mack There is no Volvo conventional cab trucks anymore that I have seen for decades in Australia, anything with a bonnet (hood) is a Mack Still a long wait for Mack and Kenworth trucks in Australia as far as I know, six months or more, maybe up to 8 months I'm sure someone will have the figures of Australian truck sales Paul
