Lol that may not be the case anymore!

with labor it still is , cause your mechanic still needs to buy gas also so shop rate is up

I have no idea what mechanics charge to be honest with you. My dad is my mechanic, he’s been a heavy equipment mechanic at a gold mine for 40 years, and he has a shop with a 2 post lift and triplicates of every tool you could think of 4 blocks from my house. If he can’t fix it, it’s FUBAR. I’m no mechanic but I’ve helped him with something like 4 motor swaps and built a ‘96 Ford dually out of 4 different wrecked pickups and some random little repairs the last couple months. He’s always buying broken cars dirt cheap, fixing them, and reselling for a profit.

Your gas pickup truck has what’s called a synchronized transmission- that means you don’t have to double clutch… it will go into whatever gear you want it to -even if it’s not the appropriate gear. it’s just gonna mess you up and cause more wear and tear on the clutch by double clutching . Just Push in the clutch and select the appropriate gear that you need for the desired speed based on the terrain and incline that you’re going to be going up or going down.

Yep this is correct- A good rule of thumb on climbing a hill is that the appropriate gear is the gear that you can drive up the hill without being under powered or having to downshift before you reach the top of the hill. You don’t want to be shifting mid slope when under load . When it comes to driving down that same slope a good rule of thumb is to be one gear lower than the gear it would take to power up that same slope uphill. If you can drive up a steep slope in fourth gear under adequate power without having to down shift than 3rd gear would probably be right for driving down that same slope downhill. This is a lot more important when you’re driving a semi or a heavy truck that weighs 80,000 pounds but nonetheless the same principles apply. No sense riding your brakes the entire way down the hill because you’re in two high of gear…

Back before I became shiftless (gave up the clutch to make it easier to drink my coffee) I also used the gears more than the brake to slow down. I didn't have to replace brakes in the 150,000 miles that I drove my Ranger.


I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

WD91 That is normal for a manual /clutch to operate like that. You need to rev it up a little more to get it rolling then let the clutch out fully while increasing the gas at the same time!! It takes Practice. It is fun once you get the hang of it. If it smells like hot brakes you are slipping the clutch way to much. Have Fun!!

go to 2 grand right foot heel on the brake toe on the gas let out on the clutch as you let off the brake

if you have a working parking brake you would set the parking break , rev up to about 2grand as you start to let out on the clutch release the brake this is why many maunals have hand emedgency brakes or parking breaks

more rpm faster getting off the clutch (savell is saying dump the clutch , a fine line between a quick engadment and side stepping the pedal and letting it slap aka dumping the clutch

you are slipping the clutch to reduce engadment till your rpms are up

run the rpms up first

if you have a parking/ebrake your letting it go just as you start to pull against it and should have zero rearward movment

sometimes the answer is park different or don't stop if you don't have to

This guys videos may help , you have to feel your engadment point



he lifts his foot off the brake I just slide right that brake can come up on it's own

off road this changes slightly you don't want to spin the tires and this where the hand/parking brake or heal toe can work for you.
