  • Hmm, 220 natural. Loved to see them running up the Grapevine southbound at night, with the feather glowing off the top of the cab. Haven't seen that for about twenty years. Too bad you can't run the old trucks like that any more with the CARB restrictions. They were a hand full, but fun. Every truck was different, and had their own characteristic needs to run properly. No intercooler, aftercooler, poor radiators, Cadillac vents that wouldnt work right etc. fun fun fun... miss my 335.

  • This would my first choice of engine to put into my dream 1970 Pete 359, sounds awesome.

  • I found that suprisingly helpful in learning how to shift a 5 speed 3 auxilary transmission. Good video,definetly a favorite!

  • @pepp5150 you mean the movie "Duel" :)

    I thought the same thing!

  • could listen to that sound all day

  • Watching this video makes me feel like I'm driving the duel truck looking for a red Plymouth skamp.

  • no turbos. i love it all american power from the cummins.

  • Reminds me of Dual,,,,

  • wow... marvelous..

  • isnt a jake brake when you use the engine to slow down the truck / vehicle?

  • just had to say,if you have to ask what a jake brake is,you must be a retarder.

    Man,I crack myself up.By the way,I'd rather hear a jake,than screaming brakes.
