Detroit Diesel Grain Truck

[Pope54x]

Good sounding 238!

[MillardRalph]

Instant hard on. Thanks for the video.

[dominicthompson234]

damn it sounds like ur revvin the piss outta that thing

[1972JICase970]

We hadda 1964 WFTL with 671

[rocintrucker83021227]

Yea these moters were once very popular and still are. The only reson that there not in production anymore is the epa. The emissions are bad and most smoke like crazy. I suprised you never saw one in Canada. You will find them in anything from pre 90s semi trucks of all sizes to generators, pumps constructon equipment and on and on. Detriot still makes moters but they are all 4 stroke and epa compliant. They were made by g.m so alot of vids of GMC semi are on here so just type in 6-92 6-71 enjoy

[SeaDollarsBertram]

@rocintrucker83021227 about the smoke, I heard a while back that a brand new MAN or MTU will smoke more than an old 8V92, according to a friend at the yacht basin

[rocintrucker83021227]

@SeaDollarsBertram I can belive that all this crap on clean air diesels is a joke There is no such thing as a clean diesel They can make them cleaner but they are ruining them They have this new additive called urea that injected into a burn chamber with the exshust. Its bien used in europe for years and now the epa is forcing it down on us Just another thing to fail and add cost to trucking which hurts us the consumer who reliey on trucks everyday I see alot of clean air trucks that still smoke

[detroitdiesel653]

you shouldn't rev that truck so high in nutral for so long but other than that it sounds pretty good

[userunavailable3095]

Truck's still going, and Detroit is long gone.

[lawnfarmer]

Had a 6-71 once.Had over a million miles and all we ever did to it was put in new rod bearings.Bulletproof, just plain bulletproof.

[SeaDollarsBertram]

put a straight pipe and run that jimmy like yer supposed to!!!!

[8010cookie]

You do know you can permanently hurt your truck by reving it so bloody high that sound is like a fork to a plate for me...

[looselyride]

@8010cookie its a 2 stroke plug your ears ,or go play golf......

[rocintrucker83021227]

@8010cookie Are you from the UK? Detroits were built to run like that. Its a 2-stroke and they sound like there being killed but that is not much more than 2000rpm You got to run them high they dont have the lug power that a 4 stroke Cat or Cummins has. To the best of what I know Detroit was the only American engine builder that did a 2 stroke diesel They are a time tested succsess for durability and good fuel use They bien around since the 50s and many still run today Emissions was there death

[8010cookie]

@rocintrucker83021227 Thanks for the heads up. I did not know that before. I am from Canada. They are pretty where from the farm where i live.

[JtsGreene]

@8010cookie Actually it's a wonderful sound, detroits last longer when you run them hard. Much the opposite of many 4 cycle diesels

[syncade]

Sounds good! That is some flat land i must say

[magna59]

Its odd how these 2 stroke diesels ( are they direct injection ?) sound so hard driven for the revs, but i suppose its just that thing of 2 stroke over 4 stroke..........there a piece of Ytube of a V8 Perkins which just sounds great, but is supposed to be gutless...........so who knows !

[vaccumme]

Is the compressor bilt on to the Engine?

[Jesupboy577]

funny, u 3 probably dont know how to drive it. and why would he have to back out of a field when he is that far into a field? theres no point unless u just want to use more fuel.

[bansheekidd99]

this dude sucks at driving a truck

[funnyfarm123456]

dont you know your shopost to back up before go ahead on down the road...... all trucks have more torq in reverse

[LackoFarms]

nothing like the scream of an old detroit!

[ronscons]

I got a 1973 GM JH9500 w/8v71, 9513 over, 38's [4.44] on Reyco-- good solid truck but pretty light d/line- hauled lots dirt with it- noisy though and not easiest on fuel- engine was virtually unbreakable

[CJO740]

Good old screamin jimmy, post an in cab shot running through the gears. Great engine and truck.

[Cosmo0203]

You gotta love the sound of a ol detroit

[DieselMechanic09]

yeah you're right...the 6-71 was high revving, but lacked low-end torq

[midell2007]

the 671 was a pig..it made a lot of noise but couldnt pull out of its own smoke with a load on it.

[Davobeff]

yes they were very i efiecent.

[urbandestruction]

obviously you dont know how to drive it :P did you ever try driving it like you stole it? :)

[Rheems1]

I could listen to that all day long and never grow tired of the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit. This one sounds exactly like our tanker....well not exactly... most of the time in that pull out one of the drivers would have missed a gear or ground it (why they put a 10 speed Roadranger in a fire truck I will never know!). I love those old beastly Chevy C-90/GMC 9500 chassises too, I wish to God I could find one (with either the 6'71 or a 6'53).

[ronscons]

Rheems1-- mine is for sale

[besteci1]

someone help me to find specs about this trucks, please! i cannot find out even its model name...

[bigchevy80]

It says in the description. 1971 GMC 9500...

[besteci1]

fantastic noise!

[Deadairshow]

My grandpa has one of this grain trucks. Those 2 stroke diesel engines sound like beasts. The sound scared the pants off of me when I was a kid. I love driving it and I am always looking at the tach. A 400-500 rpm range is all that type of engine has from idle to max rpm. Looks great and Sounds Great.

[cadets318]

Sounds like a fuckin skidder with a big ole twitch of rock maple behind her, roll on my friends, roll on..

[454apache]

I'm going to put one of these in my 1946 chevy grain truck. I love the sound of these monsters running through the gears.

[waldir1971]

detroit engine is very  good.

[cangurosw]

LIGERO EL HIJO DE LA

[calmatosport]

why is it revving so high? and why in neutral?

[720diesel]

Max rpm is only 2400, it just sounds fast because it is a Detroit. The fast rev in neutral was to build air pressure because I was in a hurry.

[Mack10001988]

@720diesel

yeah because he was in a hurry dummy lol

[Bkrites]

yea a Detroit will sound like its runnin at about 9 grand when its only at 1600 rpm. love those old Screamin Deamons

[indyboom]

i bet the dumbass thinks itll get air quicker when anything over 1200 rpm is a waist

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

@calmatosport It sounds like it is revving so high, because this Detroit Diesel is a 2-stroke engine. The engine pistons combust air and fuel (has a powerstroke) eveytime the piston rises in the cylinder, where a 4 stroke engine combusts air and fuel ever other time the pistons rises. Look up 2-stroke cycle and 4 stroke cycle on YouTube for an animation.

[sledheadchris]

pretty cool but mine is better.

[ClassicTVMan81]

This truck is a model JI-9500; wherein "J" is tandem-axle config. and "I" is the 6-71 diesel.

[B422TMack]

oh the sound of a 238 (671) Screamin Jimmy i miss that sound everyday

My granddad bhogut a 74' 9500 GMC S/A Tractor w/ 671 (238) , 5&2 tranny 23k rear end & belly blower exhaust brand new i grew up w/ truck (i was born within a year of manufactering of jimmy) this was our lowboy tractor & also pulled wheat, soybeans , & corn to the elevator

this ole jimmy looks almost similar to one we had listing to your jimmy brings back some good memories for me thanks for the video

[B422TMack]

oh does your 671 "lope" on a cold morning till the motor warmed up ours did & if ya wasnt carefull oil would get on top of the pistons & "clatter" lol

[MossyOak83]

damn.... sounds hella good!!!

[XDbass753]

[hunter25744]

[hunter25744]

[detroitPOWER]

[720diesel]

No it has a muffler on it. Broke the flexpipe on the downpipe one day and it ran open. Sounded great but I had to fix it sadly.

[DodgeRamit02]
