    Old 8000 series. Seems back that early it would've had two sticks. Later ones ( like an 8716 or 8512 ) had an air control that resembled one on a 12 speed and if I remember correctly were usually blue (?) I remember someone seemed to think they were a great transmission....if you were a guy who fixed transmissions for a living.

    So I did some googling myself. There was indeed a 12 speed Volvo with what appears to be two switches. Problem I had was the Facebook video I found ??? was a guy in Zimbabwe. I have no clue what he was saying, but .... 🤔 Zim Bob way Mowerman..... Bob 🤔 hmmm

    What a handsome truck. Not much brightwork on it and still looks fantastic.

    That's a nice truck. Looking at it's picture, does that have an aluminum frame ?

    Valve cover isn't too critical as far as torque. (doesn't it have those bolts with the springs) Just be sure nothing is pinched anywhere and careful with the vent tube. Be nice if the EGR plug doesn't give you issues. ( be careful with it, the heat makes it brittle ) Pretty much, if you took something off, put it back on. Don't be affraid to use your phone for pictures before taking stuff apart.

    Ya know ???? I got stuck in the truck with the 18 speed. IDK if those road speed signs still apply and then there's that gray button 🤔

    E9 or Sig6. A CH with 46s and a lined frame , it'd do it, just not very fast.

    How many utters get pulled to fill that ?
  16. Mark T
    That truck is over 20 years old. Looks like it's in fantastic shape. 🤔 might not be up to the task of pulling that trailer with the multitude of axles in the background if it was loaded.

    CL hood had a little more behind the latch and more in the front.
  18. Mark T
    That's a nice CH613. Hood's too short for a CL.

    Trucks like in that video ? New drivers call them "a shifter truck"

    Let's face it, ya can't teach guys like years ago. No more threatening them with having to fix it. No more smack'n them, or shaming them into learning (like telling coworkers they drive like a girl) Then there's the laundry list of reasons you don't dare let someone without a CDL on a road....mainly the fines and what your insurance company will do when they find out. I don't think I could teach anyone at this point. Hell, I don't even know where to get Crocks or flip flops.

    Can we expect a video ??

    The guy did a good job of trying to explain. Sad part is most new recruits still wouldn't be able to move the thing 50 feet.
  23. Mark T
    IDK about you, but I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and put some of that instruction to use.
  24. Mark T
    Only other one I know is still on there is that sunny.....and now leo the fourteenth
