  • loud engines and pipes saves lifes !!! 

  • @JBOGermany ...doin my part ...for humanity...

  • Wow I love the "voice" of that truck. :D I like engines LOUD and LOW. So sue me. XD Actually, don't. I'm poor as all get out. lol

  • gotta love the rocky mountain hummingbird!

    or screaming jimmies as lots of people called them.

  • screw the radio thats the only music ill need while driving!

  • you know when you were a little kid and you heard the ice cream truck music coming from blocks away and your heart started racing, i think this is the adult version

  • I love the wail from those 2strokes. There somthing else!. The only other diesel engine that sounds good is the Scania V8 from Sweden (when they have straight through exhausts). The rest are muted.. Great vid sir..

  • that's a nice sounding truck.  I'd love to have a sound like that to drive around

  • Loud pipes save lives. I don't like these big rigs nowadays sneakin' up on me.

  • My dad was a trucker for 35 years, he once said "A 6-71 does a real good job of converting Diesel into noise"

  • My dad drove semis but wasn't a fan of Detroit engines; the only one he had anything positive to say was regarding the 6v92-they were reliable and a hard-working engine. The 71 series both the 6 and v8 he said were ok. The 8v92 he didn't care for at all. Maybe he knew someone that had one and it was a lemon but regardless the 8v92 was always one of my favorites

  • HELL YEAHHHHH KEEP 'EM SCREAMING PEOPLE. OLDER TRUCKS RULE!!!! SEND E.P.A AND ALL EMSSION CRAP STUFF TO HELL....

  • YEA NCB AND TIETY KNOWS HOW TO GO THROUGH THE GEARBOX , I BET IVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO 100 TIMES , LMAO DAMN THAT DETROIT SOUNDS GOOD.

  • where in canada did you shoot this? Ontario?

  • @15Multi ...#58 hwy...north of #3 hwy...south of Forkes Rd...Niagara Region

  • hey theres some great sounding 6 71 gm s down under to [aust] bet they dont get any better than that gotta luv that sound good one keep it coming

  • @TheFcmad Thumbs up for australia for running these beauties!

  • Don't get your hair all out of place. You're just 25 years behind everone else, that all. Do you buy your oil by the drum or the gal. I heard that you can get oil now, in 100 gal drums, maybe you can save some money that way. Have a nice day and remember, HOLD IT ON THE FLOOR.

  • You listen buddy, That 500 HP 8v-92 that you have, Can't even keep up with a NTC 350 cummins. And don't tell they will because I've had them both and I know what I'm talking about. Now If they were so good ( and I liked them ) they would still be on the road, don't you think.. Don't go in a truck stop with the older men and start braging on them, because the MEN that know trucking will think you are NUTS like I do buddy. Go shift your gears and hold it on the floor and hope you get there.

  • @1979peterbilt I ain't trying to say nothing, Im only 14, but a guy I know was a trucker for 30+ years and he said that the detroits where great sounding, but back in the day they leaked oil, where HARD on fuel, a little underpowered in the lower rpm range, and really didn't have a lot of torque. I know he drove a 318 and I think he drove a 6-71, amung others. He says the cummins had the ideal balance of power, fuel, and longevity but CAT lasted forever and had hella power and low end torque.

  • @2strokedetroit everybody has there opinions. But there all good when there new. I was driving one around a yard when I was 9'. I could shift a 6-71 with 2 quad boxes, no clutch,double clutch, hand thru' the wheel shifting both sticks, and or them combined by the time I was your age. My dad sold the truck wen he was over the road. The guy came to pick it up and couldnt even start it. I went outside and he laughed. But after i fired it up and pounded 8 gears in seconds, he stopped laughing quick.

  • @cobra96svt570 Like I said, I aint sayin theys bad, (better than all this new emission bullshit is) I was just sayin what I had heard. I was only driving skidsteers and trackoes at 9, you were a damn lucky kid! I've now driven A international 4700 with a 7.3 Powerstroke, A ford f700 with a 5.9 cummins,(wich KILLS the powerstroke in the low end, no doubt) and just about any peice of equipment you can name. Did you hear the bullshit about ford not offering a manual anymore?

  • @1979peterbilt Im with ya, I drove a 72' WHITE with a 6-71 an 2-quad boxes hauling loggs out of P.A an haulin lumber from mills to the lumber yards. That detroit will scream all day! you cant kill'em. Who cares if it leaks a lil' oil. They all leak when they get hours/miles on them. We borrowed a guys mack, and then a pete with a CAT. And neither of them could pull a wh*re off a piss pot. There all good engines, but if the sound of a detroit dont give you chills/goosebumps, its not for you,

  • Comment removed

  • You are 26 and you have never had one down, have you. The reason they slobber is because they are weak on comp. They helped the 92s and they were the best, but they weren't anything up against a Cummins of the same HP. In the old days you had Detroit, Cummins, and Mack. Cat came out in the late 70s I think and truckers were a little slow on buying them. Cat are a good engine, a little hard on fuel, but they run a long time. For my money, give me the Cummins, they'll put more money in the bank.

  • @kennethrobinson11231 With all due respect to my elders...I am not 26...I have had a 71 or two apart ...weak compresion may contribute to some seepage...BUT most "slobber" would be the result of the operator...and the designer...had a Cummins or two apart also...and a Cat...and a Mack...and all of them put money in my bank...Jim.

  • Greatest sound I have ever heard thankyou!. Me and my bro were just lobin this because pa used to screwm and old detroit two cycle V6 as well I think 13 speed not sure though.loud like this and I was young

  • Ah, the sweet sound of history

  • the haunting sound of this truck sends a chill up my spine but I love it!

  • old boy sound like he runing 100 mile an hour lol

  • I drive a 1980 white everyday with a 8v92 detroit in it , I wouldnt take love nor money for the ol girl ! She works 5 days a week 365 days a year

  • @1979peterbilt I can see why you're a truck driver.

  • Comment removed

  • @1979peterbilt You have got to be crazy to take out one of the bast engines in the world to put a oil leaking detroit.

  • Comment removed

  • @1979peterbilt I've had them all. Every Detroit I had would use and leak a GAL. of oil a day. Some CO. that had them, didn't even change the oil because they used so much. 100,000 miles and they had to be overhauled. I always liked the sound but they didn't have any torque like a cat or cummins I;m 64, have been with trucks all my life, and I KNOW WHAT ALL IF THEM WILL DO. Why do you think that they quit making them for trucks.

  • Comment removed

  • @1979peterbilt And I can take a 250 cummins and run over top of you too.

  • Comment removed

  • You can always tell an old trucker who used to drive Detroits. Any question you ask them they reply with "What? What? Speak louder please!"

  • Breaker 1-9 Breaker 1-9 this the rubber duck calling the Bandit come on . Headin`westbound on 1 iO no smokeys in sight , you keep the pedal to the medal thats a big 10-4 .

  • thanks tiety56...........I have to come back every once inawhile just to listen to this, these new breed drivers just don't get it, you don't teach that old school stuff. You didn't learn it, it was something you had to have a feel for. You put a new breed in that truck he wouldn't make it off the yard. I hope I get to shift one of these again before I die...........

  • That's a converter......converting diesel to noise! C'mon!!

  • Ahh, yes... This truck with the 6-71 engine definitely SCREEEEEEEEEEAMS so damn excellent! Detroit Diesel FTW!! Screw those cheap so-called "Hybrid trucks"...

  • HOLY FUCK THAT THING IS LOUD.

  • Sweet rig!!

  • 6-71 thats right, 6 mph up hill and 71 mph down hill. For all you young guys, there was a secret to driving a Detroit. Before getting in you put your fingers between the door and the sill and slammed the door on your fingers. now you are really pissed off, now you can really drive a detroit.

  • @fuelerxmdt ...that would be 2 3/8ths horsepower...

  • Damn yamaha. LMAO!! If you took time to wave at somebody you were luggin it. 6-71 runs backwards just as good as it does frontwards. Screws up the air cleaner and gives you a bunch of reverse gears you didn't know you had. LOL

  • detroit diesel are the best....

  • Detroit Diesel.....What more is there to say? :-)

  • I can't belive this. The engine sound is what got me and couple buddies while in the scouts. We would go by nearest highway while at camp to see and hear trucks going by. Then we'd go to the hobby store to get a AMT truck model. Thanks for this view. A big 10-4 on this one. The tractors of today look like oversized ford Taurus to me.

  • all i can say is holy crap what an engine i love that thing

  • old school power

  • a full 36 seconds before that monster came into picture, you can literally hear it from a mile away lol...

  • omg O.O what type of engine is that? how much rpm? sooo loud and damn nice sound

  • Comment removed

  • I love how he sounds like he's going just below the speed of sound, but I doubt it could do 65Mp/h(100km/h)

  • the guy that passed you probably had to check if he didnt just past the truck from maximum overdrive lmao

  • I Remember When J.F.R.D Had The Old American La France Fire Trucks With The Detroit Diesels In Them You Always Knew When They Were Around Unlike The Trucks They Drive Now . Wonder Just How Many Of These Old Brigadiers Are Still In Use ? Hope To See This Ole Girl Is Still Making Money 20 Yrs From Now

  • i love the sound

  • Geez, it's fuccccckin loud.

  • How old are ya??? hopefully your old enough it doesnt matter if you lose your hearing!!!

  • That rig sounds so cool I wanna drive it so bad. One hell of a nice truck for 1979.

  • drive it like ya stole it.....awesome video. gotta 6-71 in a C-90 we bought last fall. gotta love the sound!

  • Strong sounding iron lung!!!!

  • @mancub61081 detroit diesel actually

  • No Jakes huh? still sounds sweet though

  • Bad ass!!!

  • awesome, our old 1964 white freightliner had the same engine. nice truck nice sound.

  • How fast can this thing go? How high did you rev the motor?

  • ...62 mph...2100 rpm...

  • Ain't it funny how life goes? I cut my teeth on a 238 and a 318. I thought I;d never get away from those weak ass engines. Now, 30 yrs later, Damn, I would love to have one again. I still got an old Ford yard dog with a Super V 92 in it and I wouldn't take a million dollars for it.

  • The sweet sound of that Green Grenade brings a tear to my eye! I want my old "77 Cornbinder back.

  • sounds like its going 100mph

  • Or at least it thinks it is or it's trying

  • Boys thats why I became a truck driver. The first time I heard that sound as a kid I knew thats what I was going to do. Coolest sound ever. I miss those screaming detroits. If you've never driven a 671 with a 10, you've missed something fun.

  • @NCBHunter Same here,Somone in our town had a cabover gmc pulling a dozer...Could hear him 3 miles outa town!

  • @NCBHunter i wanna drive trucks soooo bad, and im gonna tell the trucking company to give me the oldest truck they got.

  • @AcaAllertor127 The old truck have loud engines and the new ones dont... IM WITH U!

  • @NCBHunter NCB, Could'nt have said it any better, hearin those old Detroit's is what got me mesmorized on Trucking. Sadly the EPA and the government has ruined it for ud diehard's and taken the fun otta truckin for the youngster's just now startin their drivin career's.

  • @NCBHunter Same here. My dad had a 71' WHITE constructor, w/ a 6-71 an 2 quad boxes. It was great, I would hang my head out the window and listen to the stack.

    If the sound of a detroit poundin gears dont give you goosebumps/chills, then it aint' for you.

    The first time I drove it, I was 11'. He'd let me drive it around the lumber yard and pound a cpl gears.One day I slamed on the air-brakes, it bucked and started blowin smoke out the intake He go's JUMP! kidinng, and he kill-coked it.lol

  • sounds awesome .

  • this sounds so much like the green goblin truck in maximum overdrive, i love it!!!!

  • That must be loud!

  • Good man Tiety, when that pick up passed you I would have done the same thing keep your foot right in it so that all he sees in his rear view mirror is nothing but the grill. Be cool on your stool !

  • After seventh gear that pickup didn't get too far. Great sound , you can hear it start from a mile away.

  • That punk in the Chevy P/U needs a sidewinder up his tailpipe for disrespecting that Detroit by passing him..

  • ...didn't mind him passin me...but when he got in front...he slowed down????

  • Yeah I noticed that...That's part II of what I meant by shoving a sidewinder up him for dissin' ya like that ! LOL

  • Probably saw the person filming this and thought of cops or something...

  • @tiety56 He just wanted to hear that beautiful Detroit better!

  • @tiety56 I was just watching the video thinking what an ass passing you then not got any faster

  • sounds great man we need to get one of those in the rescue truck

  • i love those screamin detroits!

  • Ahh, the sweet sounds of a Jimmy two-storke

  • That Detroit sounds gooooooood !

  • What part of Canada is that in? Truck sounds just amazing! Love it!

  • ...southern Ontario....25 miles SW of Niagara Falls...

  • how many miles? this dangerous?

  • i play this video so much, it drives my wife crazy.

  • Its hard not to listen to it sounds so sweet!!

  • Detroit --in -- HEAT --!

  • Awesome! One of the best Detroit Diesel vids on youtube, very clear crisp sound. The Detroit sounds divine.

    Screamin Detroit power!

  • i like the 5" straits with raincaps

  • He's not revving it that hard, and no you don't have to rev the ring out of it. Thats a misconception with GMs, many say "drive 'em like you hate 'em" which simply wastes fuel. My coaches have mechanical (not DDEC) 6v92TTA and the peak torque is around 1300rpm. In saying that, they will glaze the pistons if you dont use high idle, and carbon will burn onto them if they're not revved out every so often. My drivers are told to change gears normally at 1800rpm (but it varies due to the spicer box).

  • Do you have to use high idle all the time or just when warming up? I heard that you get the best fuel economy when cruising at the rpm where you get the most torque is that true with GMs as well?

  • Use the high idle when the vehicle is going to idle for a while, more than a few minutes. They do use slightly less fuel if you keep the revs down, but carbon deposits build up on the pistons so it's best to rev them out a bit. Plus they sound awesome with full jakes on in a built-up city!

  • @024reredrum Yes. 1,400rpm for 6-71N.

  • detrooooooooooooiit!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • do you have to run them Detroit's wide open to get power out of them becuase it dont seem like them old screamers have much power but they sure are awesome to listen to!!!

  • You have to beat them, because if you lug them like a four stroke diesel, you'll seize them up. The old school rule is slam your hand in the door and take it out on the motor!

  • Well its a two stroke motor so all the power is in the top end not like the 4 strokes where all the torque is between 1200 and 2000 depending on the engine

  • loud basterd ha ha i love it

  • My goodness I thought Armeggeddon was takking place (LOL)

  • This (and part 1) - fantastic audio - THANK YOU!

  • What a nice sounding truck. They don't make 'em like that any more. I drove a GMC Astro COE in school that had a 318 in it with dual exhaust.

  • Is there any better sound, then a screaming demon with dual smokers???

  • A european V8, maybe?

  • I remember in Europe in 20 years back have heard a lot of noise with nothing to see on the road and the light was illuminated :GMC Astro 95 car haulers importer american car, same sound same thrill . I told my wyfe between a night in bed with woman beautiful chest and buttocks and an hour at wheel of Brigadier, Brigadier I choose .

    TitiRomeo 51 years old 27 years trucks driver in Europa

  • Hello,I remember ,in Europe 20 years back have heard a lot of noise with nothing to see on the road and the light was illuminated :GMC Astro 95 car haulers hte importer amerian car,

    same sound same thrill.

    I told my wife , between night in bed with woman beautiful chest and buttocks and an hour at wheel of Brigadier , Brigadier I chosse.

  • do you have to run them Detroit's wide open to get power out of them becuase it dont seem like them old screamers have much power but they sure are awesome to listen to!!!

  • true, they are rather gutless as a tuned dodge pickup with the 5.9 in it can doubble the power of a 6-71 but nothing sounds like a detroit as my fav is the dirty dozen 12v71tt

  • Comment removed

  • No, for some reason everyone seems to rev the ring out of them. My coach has a 6v92 with a straight 6" dump (very unpopular with passengers up the back, great advertising though; everyone looks!) and I don't take it over 2000rpm. You don't have to. Our's peaked out with 1900Nm Torque at 1200 and 420HP at 1700rpm (yes, 6v92!!). Rev them out every so often to keep them clean, but don't bust its arse! It wasn't that they had to be driven hard, it just that they could take it so everyone did...

  • ...420 hp ...6V92...probably flies too, this particular truck has "advertised" 577 ft lbs torque (SAE Gross) @1200 RPM, 210 hp @2100....hardly a fair comparison...Jim.

  • 100% agree,

  • Man that thing is LOUD and she sure does scream!

  • Dammit! greatest vid. ever on youtube!

  • nothing like a screaming demon with dual smokers!!!!!!

  • Dual open smokers to boot!

  • At the farm I used to work for back in 2000-2001, there was an '84 GMC Brigadier with a 6v71 and dual straight stacks. We pulled a hopper bottom hauling corn with it. On a clear day if the wind was blowing right, you could hear that thing take off at the elevator 3 miles away. I miss that old beast...

  • I take it you're in Canada??? The reason I say this is because at the start of the video, I can see a speed limit sign with 80km/h on it!

  • omg, that thing sounds like sex...i want one lol

  • Ahh, that truly sounds as good as my air cooled Porsche 911 when it's wound up! Not like the junky sounding four stroke crap I drive for work!

  • Shifting up is easy, its downshifting that's a bitch.

  • i cant believe these are two stroke diesel's they sound amazing!

  • Bloody better than some 4 stroke engines, ie Cummins - but you do have to look after them a bit more! Running the correct lubricating oil is VERY important! They can gunk up with sludge, which is 90% carbon! They have to be de-coked regularly by hauling a heavy load for a few hours - this avoids the sludgig up of everything, which results in a very costly rebuild!

  • Hell Yea!!! This is a freaking killer video right here!!! Sounds unbelieveable!!! reminds me of the movie Maxiumum Overdrive!! #1 movie! More videos please!

  • What a lovely old sound...Brings back many memories ..

  • about ten yrs ago I got passed by a jimmy up in Maine... I heard him before he pulled out to pass... and as he went by, there... on the side of the hood... "buzzin' dozen" it was a 12v92, Nothing sounds like that.

  • dang! dont sell that truck! i would cherish it everyday! truck these days dont sound nowhere close as they did back then.

  • Appears to be out of the US...perhaps Canada based on the Kilometer per hour speed limit sign

  • What state is this!?

  • (province) Ontario, Canada

  • @tiety32 what part?

  • @tiety32, where in Canada. Because I have a friend in Lucan (Near London)

  • Love the sound of a Screamin' Jimmy. Nice Brig you've got there.

  • it really sounds like a jag mk2 on high revs,

    then you get a trailer with it.

  • Anybody catch the nugent road sign?You know ted nugent being from detroit? Iriony huh?

  • I still tour like a man possessed, because I am.

    - Ted Nugent "Ted, White,and Blue".....Jim.

  • it sounds of those race cars with those loud pipes in the distance

  • how dare you

  • lol...well it does

  • no way man....just go and look at a video of an acura integra exhaust...WAY DIFFERENT...these exhausts are ALOT deeper and alot more hollow sounding

  • Music to my ears.

  • Lovely Job! What a Scream!!

    Thanks for posting.

    5*!!

  • Now THAT'S what I call a SCREAMIN' DETROIT DIESEL!!

  • :54 is the best I've ever heard!!!!! I love that sound!!!!!

  • Long live, DETROIT POWER!!!!!

  • Has Anybody else noticed how this truck from A distance favors a moving van more than a big rig until it gets upon you? Neat how this truck fools you into thinking that its a Moving truck vs a big rig. Tiety You Gotta Keep That Beast Running Loud & Proud For As Long As Possible. Gotta Love The Pissed Off Grumbling Sound This Thing Makes As It Passes You. Only Thing Better Than Listening To & Watching This Video Would Be To See This Beast In Person.Excellent Job Gentlemen

  • 5***** il roll down my window to hear a dd sing

  • she sounds good nothing an old detroit !!!

  • Sounds like 140Mph, then she rolls into view.

    Jakes would be insane!!

  • Can't help but love that ole classic sound of an old Detroit! Awesome! Thanks for sharring this 5 star video with us!

  • love these classics especially an old diesel engine and 18 wheeler cutting the gears great vid i want to see more.

  • if you were following it, you'd want to keep overtaking just so you could hear it go past you again and again. but that would probably irritate the driver. :-/

  • 4 lane highways are nice when youre going up a hill next to one of these.

  • Folks weather yall realize it or not the 671(238) Along w/ a lot of other 2 stroke Detroit motors IS A DYING SOUND A sound i love ESP From a 238 Detroit as we had 2 GMC's a s/a 9500 tractor & a Tri axle Brigadier dump w/ a 238 this is a sound i miss hearing everyday (a part of the reason why im hard of hearing in my early 30's LOL )

  • Awesome! Wish I could hear that in person.

  • Nice vid man it brings me back. Ya gotta keep the classics alive! Fuck the government and there stupid emission laws!

  • That sounds mean! I love it!!

  • It sounds like he has a 10 speed roadranger transmission in it....In the coming toward shot, he gets it up to 9th, and in the going away shot, he gets it into 10th...My favorite part of the video is when he grabs 9th gear just before the pickup truck passes him....the sound right there sounds like raw power.

  • Theres nothing like the sound a 671. Its almost sexual...or is it just me?

  • Should have leaned on the air horn for one of the shots.

  • Beautifeul Detroit Note!
