Too loud? Man you could sell tickets to hear that.

Gotta install the jake brake into it so when you gettin off the freeway flip the happy switch and watch heads turn

That's a bad ass truck even without a Detroit. That's a bad ass engine even without a '51 Chevy. But those two together are one of the most bad ass things I've ever seen!

You sure aren't going to slip out in the middle of the night and cheat on the ole lady, in that thing...

That is by far the most bad ass sounding truck I ever heard. Just like the Maximum Overdrive toy truck

That awkward moment you hear a yeti down the road... and realize it comes from a 3 banger Detroit. x'D

neighbor put one of those in a 50 something chevy pickup when I was a kid and you could hear him coming, no joke, 2 miles away at least.

loud pipes save lives... great sound !!!!

Its too loud but its awesome cause its a DETROIT!

Growing up in the early 60's I used to run down the alley to try and catch a glimpse of a 1950's GMC 650 single-axle dump truck as it approached a main thoroughfare. When all was clear, the driver would go thru the gears with what I believe was a 4-71 DD. It used to give me goosebumps.

no such thing as too loud when you have a Detroit

OMG that is BEAUTIFUL! I have a 3-53N and I have a 1958 Chevy Apache. I was thinking of putting the 3-53 in the truck but I wasn't sure if it would be cool enough. But after seeing this, I really want to do it. Thanks for posting this!

These engines bring a tear to my eye. Beautiful

Nothing better than the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit!!! Like if you agree!!!

as me a person that loves loud cars and diesels, this is music to my ears. so satisfying sounding

*That delay to change the gears makes the whole sound even better man..*

That looks like Quest Industrial in Monroe, Wi across the street.....sounds good man!

I love the sound of the old Detroits. My buddy got an old 671 its music to my ears

I think you built the coolest old truck money can buy .. Man that is just freckin sweet . nice job ..

this is one of the greatest things i have ever seen on you tube...love how torky it is in first gear

your making me watch this video over and over... like a ROCK

Fuck that. No mufflers! Sounds awesome!

Never gets old hearing it not to lound at all

Sounds excellent!! No muffler needed!!

That thing breaks the sound barrier

Sounds way better than any of the new diesel trucks offered for sale.

Sounds like beautiful music to my ears while driving a straight piped 16 cylinder detriot 2 stroke peter built 389

Will probably just do a glass pack for now, but new pistons and a turbo may be in it's future down the road!

Worked with a Fleet of Relief Ships out of Lake Charles,LA. Had an old Uniflite 26 Motor Cargo Boat with a 3-53. I would take Crew out for "Nature Tours" on The Calcasieu River. No Wildlife found...... Earplugs optional. Love the Ring of Detroit Diesels, I can tell one if it is on land or sea. Long Live Detroit Diesel !

it is really loud but but but.... it is a thing of beauty truck and all, i love the appearing and disappearing from and into the fog, every mysterious and epic

Beautiful sound. Makes me want another one.

Incredible truck. Sounds fantastic!

You sir have a Detroit Demon. That thang is wicked

I use to drive a semi truck and the jake brakes that were that loud ......that cured me for loud exhaust after driving that all day in the hills of Pennsylvania and West Virginia 😎

Awesome. I'd drive this thing in a heartbeat.

Just had a flashback to Ft Bragg, Nc in the 80's. The Gamma goats had 2 stroke gmc engines. You could hear them miles away.

DAMN IT!! That thing sounds amazing

That sounds so freaking cool just leave it alone.

No Detroit is ever too loud,,, Sounds Wonderful!!

An old Detroit can never be too loud, jus need earplugs and ear muffs

That thing sounds so good you wouldn't want a radio. I'd daily drive 'er grinnin' the whole way.

Nice!! love the raspy sound

I could listen to that all day!!

3 cylinders of fury!!!

Imagine someone asks you what engine is in your vehicle. Oh only a 3 cylinder diesel. Then start it and let it make the sound of 10 angry gods in an argument

Too loud? More like too awesome!

That's Damn Cool , cant beat that wonderful Detroit Sound !!!

Awesome sound - love it

a little more back pressure might tame the popping.......remember that most two-stroke bikes had an expansion chamber and a stinger to tune for power........you wouldn't want to try to get that fancy, but a little restriction probably wouldn't hurt the sound much.....love the truck!!!

Too loud? Seriously, that sounds awesome as Hell.

Perfect just the way it is pure bliss

Damn, wish I could drive that to highschool, wouldn't wait to scare the crap out the teachers if I was late for class LOL

never to loud sounds perfect

wish I could hear it from inside the truck. sounds awesome.

Loud pipes save lives👍🏽😄 I'm not a Detroit diesel fan, more of an International gal myself, but hey- whatever works for you, right?!👽

A great pickup with a great engine!! ❤

That sounds awesome!

ONE OF MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL BUD'S DAD WAS A DETROIT MECHANIC FOR A TRUCKIN COMPANY HE MANAGED TO AMASS ENOUGH PARTS TO BUILD HIMSELF A TRUCK A DAY CAB CRAKER BOX A LIL TINY FRIKIN CAB IT WAS WITH A STRAIGHT 671 AND A STRAIGHT PIPE OOOHHHH LORD WHAT A NOISE IT MADE IT WAS FRIKIN MADNESS WITH A 10 SPEED BOX WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH HERE IT COMES SCREAMIN UP THE ROAD ALL OVER SOUTH FLA.

That damn door makes me laugh. What a sweet old truck.

Nothing better than a Detroit!

It's chilling and monstrous and raw but I think with some refinery of the exhaust the scream would come through better over the ricer like reverberation.

never too loud. loud exhaust pipes saves lives. partially deaf people could hear this coming before they cross the road. make it louder.

Nice job making noise at jefferson this weekend! Recognized the truck right away!

All I can say is WOW! I love it.

The idle sound reminds me of my dad's 3 cylinder backhoe.

Very nice and mounted in a 55 body and frame, has a sound that says just get out of my way hehe

Old blue girl with pipes made for singing: TOO LOUD? Whatcha mean am I too loud? When we make that turn, get OUT. I'll get the door for you. Man, she sounds AMAZING!

I just love how the door swings open as he makes the corner LMAO!!. Reminds me when i used to go with my step dad. Blue Freightliner. I called it the blue turd. The door would always open up when we were heading down the highway. I would always have to slam the fuck out of it to stay closed. I would even have to roll the window down so i could slam it harder.

The only issue with this car is the drivers door will not stay shot lol this truck sounds amazing

That is exactly what my 52 looks like. I have a 235 straight six. mine's pretty original, but i have disk brakes and a vacuum assist dual rochester single barrels, and split manifold, glass packs.. thanks for posting. i don't do body work either. It's a work truck goddammit. the 353 detroit makes me jealous, but i'll stick with my 235, it's cool enough for this poor sinner.

Love the sound

Love tbe sound. What did the engine cime out of and what did you use fir a trans? Hydraulic clutch?

Think I remember seeing an oldish Harley ad - "Everyone in your street will know what you got home" Detroit - "Everyone in town, knows what time you got home ... Did you have to Jake outside my house?", "No - Jake'd outside everyones"

Sounds great to me lol.. I have to laugh my first car (er um truck) was a 51 and the door did the exact same thing, it was routine to reach over and pull the door closed on a right turn.. It sounds good though, got the detroit goodness to it... :)

It's not loud enough... but damn I love Detroit engines. As far as my childhood, 6v92 was the last good one but the Series 50, 50-EGR, 50G, and 60 are still my everlasting continuation compare to the DD13 - I have yet to hear.

its perfect!!!

I love this 353 detroit

I got one of those straight through racing mufflers for A 4" exhaust pipe. I am not sure it made the exhaust quieter but it is "legal" now. I have to wear earplugs when I drive mine, so loud on the freeway 🔥

Awesome sound

There's no such thing as "Too Loud" when old trucks are involved !!!

The answer is no! It is music to my ears! Don't hide Detroit pride, please.

Sounds better than four banger version. 👍

That thing is a monster!

Detroit Diesels. Breaking the sound barrier at 10 mph.

Had one in my Gamma Goat in the US Army. It was required for me and my co-driver to wear hearing protection muffs during operation.

That's a sweet truck

Love that 2 stroke diesel

Sounds badass

Be perfect to follow those cycles around with all day :P

Revisiting this video, I would have to say that this N/A 353 sounds better than my 453T. The turbo muffles the individual exhaust pulses. That blat, blat, blat of the unmuffled N/A exhaust pulses at 2,800 rpm is what makes a screamin' Jimmy a screamin' Jimmy! My dad was a mechanic at Cummins his entire career. And back in the 70's his favorite saying is that What Detroits are best at is turning diesel into noise and black smoke! 😂😂😂

*DETROITS ARE NEVER TOO LOUD* In fact, I think you should put jakes on that thing.

oh that sounds amazing

Sounds right to me! Just needs the jake put on it.✌️

Awesome opera!

I love diesals now I was one just like this

Sounds good

that's sick ,, I thought my crewcab cummins chevy was loud

perfect nice job

Awesomeness!

You could film a horror movie in that town with all that fog and the old truck
