Jake's New Semi with a 12v71 Detroit Diesel 

Same. Few trucks that nice left here in the east.

And you would not like to sit in it all day every day,the noise would drive you insane, i know, i have one!!!!!

Wish calif, could be that way !

Yes i got a silver 8v92 2 stroke and shes doing good with XD-100

@@grumpystruckshop3807 properly installed ear plugs is all you need.

I recently became obsessed with watching videos of these old trucks.

I was smiling ear to ear the whole ride!

congrats on your new 2 stroke truck

Oh? She's a 2 stroke? Interesting! That's where I get so confused! I really need to do some serious reading! The problem is that those big 2 strokers have overhead valves! Of course, I'm only familiar with 2 stroke petrol engines! Now, remember those teenie "glow" engines? Cox & Testors? They were essentially 2 strokes running on the diesel principal! Your fuel and oil was pre-mixed and sold as "glow fuel" you hooked a battery up to the glow plug and then disconnect once the engine was running! But those big 2 stroke monsters sure confuse me!! DUH!

@SpaceAce100 the dd 2 stroke engines have no intake valves, but they do have exhaust valves . Intake air comes into the cylinder near the bottom of the stroke the out the exhaust valves in the head.

I couldn’t agree more!

I’ve never been a trucker, but I grew up working on small blocks with my dad. Watching stuff like this warms my heart. I know a carburetor is outdated, but man there’s nothing like driving something with one the smell and everything.

Very unique, jake loves it!

What transmission was behind it?

Exactly! If you drove them like you had a brain in your head they were a long lasting motor.

But it's WAY more fun if you do

😂

There is no torque rise in a Detroit, like a Cat or Cummins, so rpm's are where the power is. Back in the Mid 70's the Ontario 500 Truck Stop in SoCal had lines of these all chromed out. Cummins Kt450's, and Cat 3208 v8's. Like a giant custom truck show every weekend.

I was always told to slam you hand in the door, drive it like your girlfriend, paycheck and wife are all a week late.

That's just if you had a 6-71. He has two.

I ran across a guy that ran a truck shop with a 9K GMC with a double turbo 12V in it. Had two 6V-71T exhaust manifolds and a turbo on each one. 733 horses to the ground and it was SWEET. The 9000 were some of the sweetest trucks made. Of course that was a long nose.

@@lewiemcneely9143... LEWIE!!!..... How are ya? Still have the same ph. no. ending in 9*9*?? Talk to me. J. It's Been a while!... to say the least!! Thankful that I just happened to look to see what the reply was to "Deborah chesser's" comment.

Thanks for watching and sticking around!

Gives out tinnitus something to keep it company!

We have quite a bit of new equipment, but use old stuff any chance we get

It’s a really straight truck. Some steering and brake adjustments and touching up the chrome will have this truck close to new!

Hitting the jake brakes was the best, the video doesn’t quite do it justice!

That’s a good one! Haha

Hey Brad! You know us Renners, we have a soft spot for Detroits.

We will give her some love this winter, until then, how about some straight pipes?

@@RennerStockFarms I'd leave the mufflers on it so you can stand to drive it. And use it. I had strait pipes on mine but that only lasted a year until it drives you nuts. It's cool for a truck show but that's about it.

I doubt it will be a permanent addition, but we just can’t help ourselves!

@@RennerStockFarms I used to wear plugs and muffs

Wouldn’t that be sweet?

Had us all smiling ear to ear!
