We had a Ford L9000 with a 318 Detroit, dual stacks,, The guy that drove it would put a piece of chewed gum in his left ear so he wouldn't go deaf. LOL
James Beshears I'm not sure if you're a smart aleck or trying to be funny. In case you don't know, I'll educate you. There's no such thing as a Ford with a GM engine. Ford's have Ford engines and if it's a desiel, it's either a Cat, Cummings or Detroit desiel. So, really what you're saying is stupid so take this advice and think about what you're going to say when you comment. A word to the wise should be sufficient.
I love how all the old truck drivers are going off about keeping it between 1750 and 2150 rpm, rev matching downshifts, mastering clutchless use of a 10 speed Road Ranger etc. Meanwhile my mom's old motorhome rocked a 6V92 TA with a dumb-as-bricks mechanical 4-speed automatic. It managed fine.
Nothing quite like a GM when you hear the crack you know it is tuned right. Drove a louisville with straight out pipes with a 692. Thats why i am partially deaf.
Have you all seen the video of the dog, and the ice cream truck? It is funny as ****. The dog gets so excited, and says ice cream. That was this guy, but with a Detroit coming up the road.
