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

Sweet screaming sound. Amazing how all that engine doesn't even hit 475hp. But will run restlessly like that all day long. Always a reminder of the tugboat and barge dockbuilding rig I worked on 25 years ago, that sound would actually put me to sleep sitting in the pilothouse when moving it to another site

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
i started a Youtube channel. I'm so modern... not! Ain't much, but I have 3 shorties of a couple trucks at our ATHS chapter show in May. It would all be one video if I knew how to combine them.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos

diesels don't sound like that anymore. |

Junkman3, Diesel Dan Renovetz, built a '70 C3500 pickup decades ago with a 4-53 I believe. He has run that thing all over the country. Recently did a restore on the body.
Attachment 1881943 Attachment 1881944 Attachment 1881945 I'd like to buy or build a Detroit powered truck myself. I think I'll stay in the medium duty range. Here is a beautiful Advance Design as well. It sits on an Isuzu or other Nippon medium straight rail chassis. He drives it to Macungie from, I believe, Ohio. That's what I want! EDIT: I see NJ plates, so I guess it got sold. Pretty sure the firts time I saw it it came from a greater distance, which impressed me |
Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
Nice shots of Dan's truck.
But we need a Video with Sound, lol. |

I fixed it for you.
A 20V-149. I believe it is the biggest Detroit ever made. Thanks for posting it. |
Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
'72 IH Fleetstar with a 6V-53 Detroit.
This truck has an interesting 5-Speed & 2-Speed Rear with an Air Shift: |
Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
Winding out second gear, and splitting only 4th gear?, Is that normal operation of this transmission Bill?

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
Hard to dislike this, really cool old bus. According t o that guy in the comments, you really gotta walk a thin edge with the way you treat these engines.
