The all new Endurant automated transmissions and other Eaton Cummins transmissions were designed for superior reliability performance and efficiency.
This driver video will get you started on the road in your Peterbilt or Kenworth truck to operate your vehicle in manual mode.
First start the vehicle, apply the service, bring, release the parking brake, rotate the shift stock to select drive, manual mode should be used whenever the driver wants to make a shift instead of letting the transmission select them automatically.
For example, when moving around the yard over railroad tracks off road and on slick road surfaces to switch to manual mode, push in and release the end of the shift.
Once in manual mode, all shifts must be done using the shifts.
However, if conditions aren't right, your shift may be denied by the transmission and you'll hear a tone when you're ready to stop, apply the service break, come to a complete stop, select neutral on the shifter and pull the parking brake.
Please see our other get to know videos for instructions on additional modes and on operating vehicles from other manufacturers.
