[bj99ful]

It's almost a haunting sound but very distinctive

[greenjeens]

[stevesai]

[laramie4x4]

[cte120]

How many gears it got?

[pwarren1010]

13spd

[ClassicTVMan81]

Fuller Roadranger RTO-9513, it's presumed.

[pwarren1010]

I know its a 13spd by the incab video he made.Titled screaming old detroit inside shot.

[FlamingTightyWhiteis]

wait,i figured it out lol

[FlamingTightyWhiteis]

wtf is a moffett?

[mrspivvy]

moffett mounty- a forklift truck that can be mounted on the back of the trailer

[pwarren1010]

That off road tired light duty fork lift on the back of his truck.

[6V92TA]

that ole 671's workin! Its gotta be supercharged too!

[standardloginname]

671 can't be run without supercharger aka blower. there is no such thing as a naturally aspirated 2 stroke detroiter.

There is no intake or exhaust stroke, but the exhaust valves open a few degrees before the piston clears the intake port, and air is forced through the entire cylinder. This is what gives detroiters that 'sighing' sound.

You could add a turbo on top of the blower, some of the 6-53's were sold that way.

[FuzzedRMI]

A mechanically-scavenged (i.e., employs a blower) two-stroke Diesel engine is considered to be "naturally aspirated", vs. the same model which is turbocharged (i.e., 6-71 vs 6-71T). There are MILLIONS of naturally aspirated 2-stroke Detroit Diesels in the world (I own 2 of them). Also, the intake & exhaust strokes are shared with the power & compression events; the "sighing" sound you refer to is the sound of the roots blower.

[pwarren1010]

Check again.There is a 6V71n The n mean naturally aspirated

[MattytheDem]

@standardloginname they all had that option not just the 6-53, some came with aftercoolers too

[cangurosw]

QUE CHULADA  DE CAMION

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

That is a sharp truck! Sounds good on the computer, probably way better in real life.

[Slackerjr92]

Icky, how do you get the moffett off the truck?

[DodgeRamit02]

ive domne it once before u ened too roll the forks back when its unchained lift up teh forks a lil bit then lean foward and lift the forks again its kidna hard to explain

[fanoseagrave]

It's a Detroit 6-71N; 426 cubic inches, 240 HP.

[detroitphil]

didn't even notice the sound,too busy looking at how sharp that old binder is..lol.great job ont it.would definately like to see more

[Auscrawlrule]

Sounds tuff

[ClassicTVFan82]

If the engine in this truck was a Detroit 6V-92TA 335 hp, would the truck sound any badder than it is already because of the truck's exhaust system?

[woodman1241]

wow i like that sound!

[Rboye]

People who grew up around the old Detroits probably think the same thing about alot of the newer engines with the way they sound.

[Rboye]

This is a nice change from those other trucks that all look the same.

[Boeing227]

I don't suck at life because I said a truck's sound isn't the greatest. Guys I wasn't trying to be mean or anything I was just saying, that trucks sounds unusaul. Get over it please.

[cumminsfan]

Its a detroit all right, but you are right the sound is a little unusual. Not bad, just... different.

[lawsy29]

yep 6-71 1978 binder

[lawsy29]

sorry 76

[RyanNilcea05]

Nice GMC! Is that an 8500? It sounds like a 6-71, am I right?

[ClassicTVFan82]

The truck is an IH Fleetstar 2070A from 1976. But yes, the engine is a 6-71, newly governed to 2,600 rpm.

[seagravefan]

Sounds great to me. Please get some more of this truck. :>)

[Boeing227]

Get a new exhaust for that thing it sounds horrible.

[Auscrawlrule]

It sounds better than a fucken boeing. And it's more reliable.

[silerjd]

that is the best way 2 put

[bigchevy80]

Sounds like a Detroit to me... I would rather see him put dual straight pipes on it than getting a quiet exhaust.

[DodgeRamit02]

very good did u not read the the title for the video? lol might wanna do that first
