xdudebrahx Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 As the nights get colder, the 12 speed in my truck gets harder to shift for the first 15 minutes of driving. I recall a "warm up" procedure on the 6 speeds where you put the main in 3rd and the aux in neutral, can I do something similar with the 12 speed? I was thinking 3rd gear position with the splitter in neutral.

terry Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I used to do it all the time, makes it easier to shift at first. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54976-warming-up-a-12-speed-trans/#findComment-410817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your keeping busy were getting slow here on illinois Still doing 50 a week at night! I heard this job is supposed to be going to Christmas at least, and then we have another job running all winter with somewhere between 5-8 Triaxle's daily. Hopefully I can make a full 12 months on the lowboy. Got the rig looking really clean too. Just took this last night. 8 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54976-warming-up-a-12-speed-trans/#findComment-410854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the aluminum needs to be sanded and then polished out with a machine. I try to keep it all acid washed and clean at least. Plus, the fuel man spills fuel on the tanks daily 😕 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54976-warming-up-a-12-speed-trans/#findComment-410891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavCut Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I don’t remember hearing the fate of the Superliner that you used to drive with the frame issues. Seeing that your still in the R I’m guessing the Superdog is still sidelined. You keep the R looking great! One of the things I enjoy about living in the Philly area is all the old Macks that are on the road every day.

Every once in a while I throw a line out to my boss about having it rebuilt. On 12/8/2018 at 9:00 AM, mackey58 said: Are your marker lights on the roof and fenders led?
