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 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 ![]()

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.... ![]() 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
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
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.
