Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Not that I can remember Tim. Cannonball was an interesting show. I remember them on when I was a kid. Haven't seen one in many years though.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Hope you don't mind that I modified it for you:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Thanks. I barely remember the show. Can you imagine if they put the same show out today?

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

We had our local show last weekend (Mason-Dixon ATHS). There were three Detroit powered trucks there. I messed up on videoing one (camera off) and accidentally deleted this yellow GMC pulling out:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

They all sound great. I like how the Detroit drowns out the 2 B-Models, although the B-Models are pretty cool themselves.

Looks like a great time. Seems like a pretty nice place.

This was the first time the show was here. This is just outside Frederick, MD along US340 at Gladhill Tractor Mart, the John Deere dealership in the county. They've already been having the antique tractor/steam engine show/pull. combining them will do a lot to bring interest in our area. before, you either already knew about the show because you're already into the trucks or you happened to drive past the International dealer in the industrial area in town.
That other truck I fouled up recording was quieter (I didn't say quiet). Sounded real nice and tight

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Poor quality.... :)
It's kinda rough to hold an iPhone, drive an old truck and try to remember how to shift all 13 gears without messing up, all at the same time!!!

If you havent figured it out, that is my truck. Still have it, someday gonna do something with it!!!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

No offense there Mike.

If I wasn't impressed with it, I wouldn't had posted it.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I was just giving ya a little static,no biggie !!!:lol: Glad you liked it!

Other projects have been taking priority as we speak unfortunately. Right now all my time is going to my '69 GMC Crew cab project. That one is going to be powered with a 4-53T Detroit and a Fuller 10 speed! I may have to invest in some earplugs along the way!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Also notice the complete lack of black smoke from the Detroit's in the old Dodges pulling the logs! Who says Detroit's were bad for the enviroment!!!

Mike

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I hear you. I think the deal was, one day they decided to outlaw all 2-strokes from on road use. What next, chainsaws?

Those Dodges were humpin' it, weren't they. No wimpy flat and level track here. A true test to who's the top dog...dge :lol:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Looked like fresh logs in the winner Dodge and seasoned wood in the loser rig;)

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Notice though that the Dodges were powered by GM engines!!! Gettin work done with GM power!!!

Mike

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I think California is headed that way.. if not already..

I think there is an air quality sensor and alarm that is activated every time a 2 stroke is brought over the state line.. or chugs into port.... :lol:

Ever wonder why...less 2 stroke dirt bikes.. less string trimmers.. leaf blowers.. Detroits..
You can thanks CARB..

I even remember reading an article about required "clean cam and injector" requirements on all marine Detroits.. within California use..

I just picked up a brochure for my 77 Chevrolet HV70 truck... and even though the 6V53 is listed as the first engine choice.. it also states.. "Not for sale in California"...

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here an interesting 9500. It is listed as a '66, but if that year is correct, it looks like they changed the tilt front clip on it. Good sounding 6-71 with a 10-Speed RR:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's a GMC 970 with a 6-71 on the back roads and streets of Germany. Not sure what Transmission he has, but it is definitely 2 sticks:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's a nice '73 9500:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Brockway with an 8V-71.

Notice that he doesn't rush his shifts and it goes nice and smooth with no grinds.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Thanks again Bill, love them Huskies, especially with Detroit's in em. There's another fellow further up north in NY with a Brockway running along 90, good video also.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Sweet sounding 8V-71 in another Brockway.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Nice. A hiway sound that takes you back to the 2-lane days.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's a cool 4-53 ride in a '41 Dodge COE.

Has a 10-Speed Road Ranger to boot:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That's a sweet ole Dodge. And rare!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

'66 MH 9500, 8V-71, 13-Speed:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Would a 73 1/2 ton jimmy/blazer with a 4-53 be of interest here? I met a guy who has one he's trying to get running. Bought it for $1500 and the only thing the seller told him was it had a fuel problem. He's not a diesel guy but man, I'd love to own it. It has a ranger split shift in front of a sm465.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

We welcome all good 'ol Detroits here.

Here's a 20V-149 Detroit. Try to fit this in your pick-up, lol:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Don't be silly. That is for shoe horning into a heavy truck. Maybe mid-engine, ey?

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
