Sounds and looks like someone actually knows how to tune a Detroit. She was running clear so the person who tuned her did it correctly and not just as fast as possible.
HOT DAMN...a right out of the box factory hot rod. Great looking tractor...even better sounding. Nothing more beautiful sounding than a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel !!! That's not an opinion...that's a fact !!! Keep her screamin' !!!
8V92 Naturally Aspirated Detroit Diesel engine is my favorite engine to hear in a Semi truck I've wonder if Motor Coach Industries offer that engine in its buses too
I remember seeing an ad for the VanHool T815 when it was first introduced to the US Market. Had three motor offerings, the Cummins L10, Detroit 8V92N and an M.A.N. engine (don't know which one, but was told later it was a 10L unit)
The chrome wheels...oh yeah! 😎 Now that’s a getter done type of rig. It’s called..Riggitude! 🤩 The paint color is different, but still looks pretty good. Love the rolling action!🥰 Hey, I could see that parked in my driveway sometime. Cabovers rule! 😎
tom cline 🇺🇸 I have never seen a tractor fire truck like that...a regular cabover semi that is not permanently attached to a trailer. I love a sweet looking cabover though!
rule number one with a Detroit floor it! rule number with a Detroit drive it like you hate it! rule number 3 with a Detroit if you are not sure how to run a Detroit ,refer back to rules number one and two its that simple and a Detroit will love you for it and will last a life time NEVER LUG A DETROIT.
there used to be rules about tractor length but the government 'deregulated' them in the late 70s, early 80s. Freightliner had put all their engineering into maximally accommodating the niche in those regulations and were the most efficient COE truck. but when the regulation was lifted,. nobody had to buy shorter length COE any more and all of freightliners invstment in that design lost market share. the company went under and was bought by german Daimler benz. its ironic that deregulation caused america to lose ownership of one of its best companies
What I would like to see is a MACK f-700 with ether a MACK v- 12 or av-8 with a MACK quadraplex and MACK worm-drive rearends. Now, that's a truck. I'd love to have a ole' MACK like that with a v- 12 under the cab!!😎 ( Mack quadraplex transmissions were a twin stick 20 speeds gear boxes.) ( Mack worm-drive rearends were a type of a differental that had specific type of gear arrangement, that the driven gear was a worm type and the other gear was specifically cut to the worm gear.)
Charles Pyatt 5” pipes without mufflers on the naturally aspirated Detroits are all about the same. Turbo 92 series without no mufflers.... that sound can’t be beat. Loud but not too much. 👍
Love the video, but how can you stand to drive that thing with straight pipes? When I got my '70 Transtar cabover w/8v71n, I took off the 3.5 in exhaust and put on 5in w/ 5in straight thru resonators. Could only stand that for 2 weeks, then put mufflers on it.
And about the time he's gotten just a bit older and get's the muffler's installed it will still sound great ..If he can still hear anything is another question . because driving it around town once and parking it is a whole lot different then working it everyday all day long ..
I love Detroit Diesels myself but I don't like that real tinny straight pipe sound. For another site google this ''International 40708V92N with Allison'' in the Netherlands of all places.
@@guywonch6591 your lack of intelligence is obvious fuck tard I owned one in the early 70s over 42 years and at least 6 million miles over the road not on a video game you fuck tard as you your child language says

I Quan Dog Tea Toll’n Tell’n You, that you Would Not want to go across ANY Colorado Scales with this truck❕ Even though its a cool look'n "Oldie But Goodie"
Yeah you could. Plenty of us run straight pipes across CO, I hit Limon port of entry twice a month, it's CO REGULATIONS, no UNMUFFLED JAKE BRAKES, read the signs. Have common sense, don't come roaring in to a coop with pipes screaming and they don't mess with you.
