I’m not too much on some of the old IH trucks, but that is one sharp little single axle rig. 🥰 I like single axles. Sounds good. I remember seeing some of those out on the road back in the day.
My dad had one similar to this when I was a kid. Can’t remember the year, but it was a Red Fleetstar 2000 twin screw with a NA 230 Cummins. He said they were everywhere back in the day, but eventually their steel cabs rusted away.
Boy does she sound good buddy, only if she had a Jake on her! Nice video... Thanks take me back in time and i think about my loving dad who left this world. 👍👍
John Johnson It does have a jake. It says so in the description, and if you listen closely you can hear it. It’s just quiet because the exhaust is properly muffled.
They try to say they polluted to much. But that is a bunch of crap. New cars are made the same way. with all this electronic bullshit. They don't want them to be easy to service, and they are designed with parts that fail, ensuring you spend more money. God damn the 21st century.
Two stroke diesels could not pass modern day emission standards. If it weren’t for that I’m sure these engines would still be produced. Best sounding Diesel engine by far!
One fine way to turn diesel fuel into smoke and noise! The best part is when, after hearing all that sound and fury from the 2 stroke, we get a glance at the speedo and it's barely doing 40 mph!
I remember being about 5 years old and bailing off into an old international just like this at the fire department my dad used to volunteer for it had a 6v71 Detroit i wish i had that truck now...... havent seen it in 13 years ....
I read the comments from the folks get all nostalgic about the sound of a Detroit Diesel. Take it from an old truckie: those suckers were loud. It didn't matter what make of truck that you drove they were all the same. If you didn't wear earplugs, and I always did, you came home with a headache that took a handful of aspirin and a six pack to cure
Haul water with an s2500 with a silver 6v92ta. Thing is fun!! I described it as an 855 and a tall deck 427 had an illegitimate child. To your point day in and day out no but for 2-3 weeks in the summer hell ya!!!
My dad's oilfield would have been tons better off with DD in their binders! They had 2 gas burners with the 304 a tandem with a vapor locking 345!! Tons of torque no speed man!! Lol!!
These were decent trucks at the Mov. & Stor. Co. we had 1 Then we had a newer 1974 that I drove for awhile.. It was a 74 I drove it in 76 it had sat in the garage brand new for 2 years before they put it on the road. also had to brand new 74 Diamond Reos That didn't see the road until 76.. They were funny like that the owners.
After I listen to it again I could here it was just a 6-71. Sometimes hard to tell on videos. Either way its a detroit cant go wrong there. Im a Caterpillar and Detroit fan. Growing up with a trucker father and then I did some driving before I became disabled we both always had Cats
It sounds more like an Inline configuration, but it can't be anything else than a 6-71 ;) They normally push at 2000-2500 RPM, but being 2 strokes it sounds like it's revving as a demon ;)
FOX-POP-YT yeah one of the reason I love Detroit's many don't even know its a 2 stroke and think the engine is going to blow. 2000rpms sounds like 4000rpms.
2stroke detroits are made that way keep them wound up high and they will take care of you .just wind her up high and keep oil in her she will do the job. Best engine ever bilt.
ROTAXD A non-turbo 2-stroke Detroit is considered naturally aspirated. The roots blower that is required to make the engine run is just that: a blower. It’s not a supercharger in this application because it only raises the intake air pressure slightly above atmospheric pressure.
@@c4t-tp238 Power house engines👌😅😅😅, put down the meth pipe. For over the road rigs, the KTTA was the baddest kid on the block. The supposed badass buzzin dozen that guys like to proclaim as big power are even a joke compared to the 6nz or even a tuned 12.7 Detroit. You kids spend too much time in the drivers lounge listening to pure horseshit.
Total dork the detroit was and is bad ass 2 stroke and one of first non gas in USA they run hard can abuse em over Rev em and keep feeding her oil 1go 2work pissed and drive like u stole it
