[MrPoet67]

Pure music. What box did they run?

[dudemeisterSC]

[Tidermans]

These detroits sound like they are revving over 9000 rpm

[JoesCoffee308]

Prety sick man :)

[MultiBluesky09]

Why is it that it seems like most of the videos of Green Leakers are from Australia? Are there a lot of them there? It looks like in most of vids the trucks are in great shape.

[acahurricane1275]

whats the use of a radio in detroit powered trucks....... you practically got one under the hood

[fullraph]

Damn! This thing sound better than a female orgasm! I could listen to this all day!

[scaleop4]

oH maN that soundS so GOoD..

[Fighterofwars]

All that noise and no load, at first I thought he was pulling something. I guess thats a DD 2S. Good at turing fuel into music.

[196237004]

thish should b the soundtrack for all videos on youtube

[thursty61]

[jmsmessner]

[furmaster212]

best part is hes only tacking to 2500RPM MAX! I showed this to a friend and he thought it was a four stroke revving to like 10,000RPM

[rollinwitbigc]

Stupid Question but, how many cylinders(im new to diesel)

[TheMoosjaw]

@rollinwitbigc Six... 6V53 = 6 cylinders in a V engine (instead of an inline design), 53 cubic inches per cylinder.

[1946Johnnyb]

Hello,over there,...Yes Jenson said that detroits made the sweetest sounds of all the truck engines,they made real music,i liked the 8-v 71s & 92s the best,..that appears to be a 5th overdrive trans.and a 2 speed rear ? that was a good set-up here in USA for flat country but not enough for country with hills....thank you for the video from down under..Johnny B.

[2fast65]

That old boy can shift sounds great keep rolling.

[bigtex144]

@DetroitDieselBob Haha it does sound fantastic!!! :D

[HurtsToPee2011]

wouldn't have to worry about any wildlife running in front of you

[22fret]

I must admit, the sound is good, but how on earth can the truckers bear this enormous noise level for hours and hours? That must be exhausting...

[HurtsToPee2011]

@22fret WHAAAAATTTTTT????? lol

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

that thing sounds pissed!

[bigtex144]

2:33 what kind of rpms you at?  2500-3k???

[vinnie01]

[bertrab87]

[supra90turbo]

@bertrab87 V6. Detroit lingo is all in the name of the engine 6(cylinder)V(configuration)53(­cubic inches/cylinder)

[automotiveDIY]

[Guitars0nMushrooms]

[farmboy26ful]

Love the good old american detroit

[fastst1]

Yeow, you're driving in the wrong lane! but driving well :)

[wheely132]

@fastst1 I think they live in Australia.

[fastst1]

@wheely132

:-) so you're saying they all drive like that? (esp with the steering on the wrong side)

another excuse to watch the video, mighty pretty looking truck and sounds bitchin.

[wheely132]

@fastst1 Yes. In Australia, you drive on the left side of the road.

[fastst1]

@wheely132

Just having fun wif ya, its hard to switch from right to left esp when you travel on motorcycle, hope to tour down under someday. 

[HardyzSwanton]

@fastst1 To you it's wrong but to us (I'm English) It's perfectly normal

[metamaggot]

sounds nice but does'nt seem very fast for all the racket it makes...and i bet noise fatigue is pretty bad!

[JohnDeere30201]

gotta love the sound of a detroit

[w5pda]

Great ghost of Rudolf Diesel, that's some serious music there :-)

[INTIMIDATOR3FAN]

UGGGH!  R.H. DRIVE!

[kennjohnsen]

Not one kangaroo.

[bisbutt]

nice truck mate love that sound

[greenjeens]

its so weird watching you drive on the left side of the road... I wanted to move to australia about a year ago, what do you call americans over there? dingos or something? I still want to move there looks like some nice country for sure.

[76popsbrockway]

ok never mind then its in australia

[76popsbrockway]

i'd move controla to the left side i dont like the looks of it

[K1ll3rM4st3r]

the engine speed makes me think the truck is going faster than it is.. thats how screamin that jimmy is.

[mageac]

@K1ll3rM4st3r engine speed is about the same as any other diesel, just sounds twice as fast as its actually going

[wfortier502]

i need the scream of a turbo for me to buy a diesel

[mageac]

@wfortier502 i rather non turbo sound wise, the turbo really muddles the exhaust notes....

but non turbo is pretty damn useless power wise

[eriksf250]

does she have mufflers?

[mrsafety100]

would like to have just as is... AWESOME!

[Knighty43]

i think it is a 65 model

[cber8860]

@Knighty43 austrials are like americans with an acsent lol

[philvredevelt]

I wood like to know what year the truck is please thank you

[evilmini0n]

wow shes a true screaming detroit 6V53, When ever i hear one of these beast's i get goose bumps lol, very sweet looking and sounding truck man!

[o56kid]

Do you have a load?

[dirtydirty505]

Wow that thing sounds GREAT!!!!!!

[jenson808]

DD 2 stroke series make the sweetest noise among all diesel engines in the world.

[philvredevelt]

what year is the truck. and is it a for ton or ten ton what thank you

[AcaAllertor127]

wow foreign trucks always sound better than american trucks

[danraich]

Love the sound of those detroit engines.

[volkscom]

If its all the same to you, i'll drive that tanka

[DasMidnightDrifter]

Haha, you know how to drive this thing. Detroits need REVS, baby, and you know how to feed 'em!

[bobba84]

cool

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Great vid and truck!! Really enjoy hearing the 2-stroke Detroit scream!! Thanks guys!

[fatboycrash]

How good is that!!!! Top work. Thanks for sharing.

[bud296]

nice truck, and sounds incredible :-)

[banshee8989]

God Damn I love the soound of thoese old detroit 2 strokes.

[GhostFearMe]

miss trucks sounding like this!

[gspohl]

detroits sound dam good

[BCBudster]

I woke up this morning in a bad mood...

But this truck just put the BIGGEST smile on my face!!!

thank you

[screaminjimmy6V53T]

I love the sound of that ole Jimmy.

In fact, the audio from your videos inspired me to buy the 6V over an inline.

I now have a 6V53T which I am just about done rebuilding. I am working on a compound turbo setup, hoping to make in the neighborhood of 350-400hp...

Thanks for the video

[bud296]

@screaminjimmy6V53T What are you installing your 6v53 into??

[NTC335]

萌え☆

[sjem618]

A 2 stroke diesel sounds SOOOO good!

It reaches the 'high RPM' sound that you just can't reach with a 4 stroke.

[jask12productions]

knighty mate you are an absolute legend

[eldorado62]

I agree with Chevy 82250. It's time those bloody EPA twerps & the like, got their darned noses out of our auto & truck industries. Everything the government touch they destroy. Trucks used to sound like trucks once. It's about time we stood united, you blokes, & tell the EPA to sod off. It's a nice thought though, ain't it?

[4thstooge]

Love that sound! I used to drive a 5000 gal. International fuel tanker w/ the same engine.

[epert1010]

Love the sound of a 2-stroke detroit.

[mccrackenphillip]

A TURBO?

[huppypuppy]

@mccrackenphillip

6V53N!

Joe

[chevy82250]

Love it! shame new trucks just dont have the bark anymore thanks to the EPA and all that crap. Long live 2 stroke diesels! :)

[FarmallDoctor]

AWESOME!!!

[Bus7777]

HELL YEAH!

[huppypuppy]

Where in western NSW is this, Knighty???

[Knighty43]

@huppypuppy coonabarabran

[huppypuppy]

@Knighty43,

Explains why I saw your truck at the Golden Oldies TC show in Dubbo in 2008! I have a photo of the back end, saddened that the photo of the front didn't turn out properly!

Joe

[Renwysocki]

@huppypuppy 

[cj382]

Put the steering wheel on the other side and bring that bad boy to America. One COOL truck.

[oreoshooter]

uhh it would take a whole lot off re wiring just to pay lots of money to get it on a cargo ship to america dropped off in NYC and then drive through traffic to lets say Missiouri would take alot of money and time

[outlaw3474]

ok a company i worked for had a GMC dump truck that had a 8.2 detroit non turbo and no blower it was gutless thats is what i meant and yes it was an 80's model it was an ex army corp of engineers truck

[outlaw3474]

let me make a correction 8.2 not 6.2 sorry for the mistake

[outlaw3474]

the 6.2 liter detroit that came in the chevy and gmc C60 and C70 yes i know the model numbers are a lil different in the GMC anyway the came with no turbo or blower the are gutless wonders

[mccrackenphillip]

@outlaw3474 WAS THAT IN THE 80'S SIERRA

[silverstate55]

Absolutely AWESOME!!  What a beautiful truck!

[ssimon64]

All detroits are supercharged. A 2 stroke diesel can't run without forced induction.

[railrunner2005]

Thats not true, there are alot of N/A 2 Stroke Locomotives out there.

[BlackwidowSD9]

Technically yes but they all have roots blowers which forces clean air and fuel in and exhaust out with pressure, not a turbo or supercharger it still compresses the air.

[3Mudbone1]

@BlackwidowSD9 The blower (supercharger) has nothing to do with fuel introduction. And the blower is indeed a supercharger.

[Hotrodx199]

You using one of those RTO-6613s or an RT-613?

[LocomotiveBreth]

Great engine in a great truck.

[SPUPRR]

This one turbocharged or natural?

[Knighty43]

natural,thanks for looking.

[hennessyviper]

didnt the detroits come turbocharged like the majority of diesel engines?

[farmerallis]

@hennessyviper

most Detroits were blown or supercharged

[Alrgc2Air]

@Knighty43 Gets up good for a non-turbo... :) I LOVE the sound of these old Detroits..

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Knighty43

I wonder if the 6V53T would sound just as wicked?

[Hotrodx199]

I believe most of them came naturally aspirated.

[huppypuppy]

@Hotrodx199,

You could get these engines in all cylinder counts in either N (naturally aspirated), T (turbocharged non-aftercooled), TA (turbocharged aftercooled), TT (twin-turbocharged) and TTA (twin-turbocharged and aftercooled)!

Joe

[HauffMachineProducts]

@SPUPRR it is supercharged. all the 2 strokes are

[wrench2317]

Awesome, Turn the volume all the way up

and enjoy the ride!!!!!!
