EXCEPT FOR THE COFFEE GRINDS HE'S A MAKIN

I agree 110%

I ran the mountains on both the east and west coast. You have to wind that Detroit up tight and keep it there. ....engine breaks are nice to coming down the other side.

She's not singing, she's a V12 so she's buzzing. Hence the name, buzzin dozen!

Even got the jake brakes on it.

Now ya cant hear lol

😂 That is very funny!!!!

I still remember the sound of the old Crackerbox Gimmy that went to the cattle feed yard twice a week. It had a 6-71N with 5&2 single axle tractor with 32 foot cattle trailer. :)

I hated riding in them as a kid. Too loud. But hearing them pull out of the driveway was nice. They just sound cool as they scream off into the distance.

I remember hearing them all night long as a kid in bed in the summer with a window open. Now you hear one its like what the hell!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The old Town School keep on going

The construction yard across the street has an Autocar wrecker with an 8V71. That thing screams up the road and sounds awesome

The same. I was 8 (1969) and it was a 225 Timberjack (3.53 I think) I still hear it like if it was yesterday , never forgot .

@@nonokastle8699 I have one of those on my woodlot. Sounds nice to me but I'm not sure the neighbors like it.

Makin' it easier to deal with the bitchin' when you get in from that run.

What a way to lose it!

I remember when I was a kid riding in my dad's K123 with a 330hp 8v71 with dual exhaust and after a 2 day trip it would take 2 weeks to get the ringing out of your ears!!! You would get out of the truck and go home and you could still hear that motor screaming in your ears!! LOL!!!

WHAT DID YOU SAY? DON'T MUMBLE, SPEAK UP!

The 600 horse twin turbo, Frightliner Powerliner were way quieter!

Prices for 2 stroke Detroits are very low compared to the Series 60 and any Cat or Cummins 4 stroke. Not a lot of people can work on them anymore, unless they are in the marine or industrial industries where most users won't give them up

They're great, but big n heavy. This ones 1800+ lbs, gets 3.5 - 5 mpgs, has a high revving ,high peak rpm torque that falls off quickly at low rpm.perfect for marine applications, but it forces the truck driver to keep it in the upper rpms to get the power needed. No diesel engine ever sounded better than the big Detroit 2-strokes.

i agree

"That" Bear Mountain? Then this must be rt 22 or 55.

basspig it is Route 6 an 202 near West Point

@@wayoutwille Ah, that road. Hadn't been up that far since July 1979, coming home from Piscataway, NJ.

New York is a beautiful state. Too bad it’s run by tyrannical liberals.

@Raymond Couchman very good point. I should have said scumbag republicans and democrats. 95% of them are rotten rat bastard politicians at all levels of government.

The highway's all yours Jack... I'm not budging for at least an hour. Maybe the police will pull you in by then... maybe they won't... but at least you'll be far away from me.

And then she overheats, and he beats the grade and YOU!

Oh man. I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows that movie!

Yes im here in Florida watching this but from Rockland also…. That road is referred as the goat trail ! Nothing like sweating while driving that road in a winter snow storm !

When you're trying to hear the radio, that's how. 🤣

​@@donellmuniz590 Nah.....if you drive a stroker, the radio is optional!

When you go uphill with 40,000 to 45,000 on the wagon

Maybe if you were deaf… even then you could still probably hear it!

A16 spd Spicer?

he up the speed I live right there and drive this video is false bull shit

@@ell04ver15 ok tell me how you fake that

I needed to haul a load on the way from the pit 60miles away from my doctor. I was first in line to get loaded and was pushing the clock to get to the doc on time. Coming in nearly out of breath, I sat down and they took my BP. She said "Well, you're BP is up quite a bit from last month". I said "I loaded 60 miles away at something past 7am and here I am almost on time at 8 am". I'm still wound up since it's a road that's squiggly turns and I'm running a 4,000 lb overload". She just shook her head. Hey, I don't get the choice. I was making money for the employer that kept me on the job. And to be technical, you need to come in and chill out for 20 minutes and then get your BP taken twice at least. I have no idea why a guy pushing a big load and trying to get the requisite 6 loads in a day would be out of breath at 69 years old. Doctors are not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer. She just shook her head. I just shook. Where I live, most curves can be seen around for a long way. So straightening out 45 mph curves with 65 mph runs can be a bit heart pounding. Having said that, I'd do it the rest of my life if the insurance companies weren't allowed to discriminate due to age. I won't say I'm fearless but I do what has to be done. When I get unloaded I'm up into the dozer/front end loader, grader to get it spread out ASAP. 600 miles+ in a day, every day. Tell me why my BP is a bit high.

BTW, it's bad enough the trucking companies have begun courting me again. I guess hauling to cities where my old felon ass would be in a bind with my H&K or in a bind with some idiot wanting to rob me is a no win situation. And they don't really pay what they want me to believe. I should be making $150,000 a year for what I do but $40,000 is more like it. The iligarch's can't stand for a working man to make a living. I've watched it go down since I sarted in 1970. And it's gone down for everyone. Sure, I'll work at the store doing the same thing I did when I was 12, sacking groceries. No, I don't think so.

@@oillease1881Your BP is high because of all the fun your having

People never understood that with the old Detroit 2 strokes you couldn’t shift them at 19-2100, tight against the governor was the only way.

Drive em angry!

My uncle had an old Jimmy car hauler that he modified a little n we hauled 700 bales of straw with. They only instructions I got before driving it was to drive like I was mad at it.

Run the Piss out of it

The Harley v-twin is another engine sound I love hearing as well as the Detroit. I have a Harley electra glide. I need a truck with a Detroit in it.

Jimmy, s for life! Still running down here in terex scrapers, learnt to drive in a 1942 chevy cargo! Yep blueflame mill!

Ex us military!

Mr Patato And on that road....around here...

Mr Patato hola

I have seen rebuilt Detroit's advertised for sale in about all truck and farm equipment magazines👍

Heard one the other day in front of my shop in Princeton, N.J. It was in a older MACK dump truck.

At least you have witnessed it in real life

love the video. sounds great.

Your welcome an glad you enjoyed the ride

My State baby 40 miles north of nyc

Once you get out of the 5 boroughs, NY gets beautiful.

@@TheRoadhammer379 That`s what I just said.

Whaddya mean? Shes just a big sports car! Hahaha

Tom E Not worth buying a sportscar that doesn't sound like that

You go where the load goes.

I dont want to see them break. Now i love to hear them brake.

@@Pabloperes675 No joke. I like the 3 speed engine brakes but I love a Jake Brake. On/off, that's good enough. A Jake Brake will produce 135% of negative HP so it's the good engine that survive. I had a friend who'd come in in the wee hours with the Jake on. Even when he wasn't going much over 30 he'd have it on, announcing his arrival. I just laughed about it. Later in life I'd use the JB to annoy those who were my enemies, much like the 20 year thing I have going with a poison flyer with big power. After 20 years I finally turned him into the EPA. I hate the EPA but I hated his killing my fruit trees even more. I'm not a pussy, I can take a joke but when he comes over our house 50' off the ground with it nailed and the wife is sick, it ticks me off just a bit more than "a little". He's damned lucky to be alive. You can't grow a garden, you watch your fruit orchard die and your trees that slow down the poisoned dirt off the field he sprays, you sorta get an attitude.

Jerry Miller Did somebody hijack your comment...wtf you babbling about????

@@joekrim6557 did someone hijack your brain? Read it again. Figure it out you donkey.

@@Pabloperes675 I think he meant the reply to you, not your comment.

MrAudienceMember thanks I didn’t add any music, I figured I would let the driver play a tune

wayout wille That engine is the music.
