That 238 Detroit is singing a few years back I almost bought a 1967 White 9000 had a 250 natural breathing Cummins with a 10 spd road ranger love these old trucks
Eddieweigel9490……. That old 10 speed had a mechanical splitter in it. A steel rod that ran from the shifter down through the tranny to change the high/low shifting range. My first job out of the Army was in a 9000 White, super 250, mechanical 10 speed in 79.
@@BillHunclebuncle this one isn’t quite that old but I know exactly what you’re talking about. We looked at a ‘65 I think White 9000 with that style 10 speed in it. This one is “modern” with the air valve up on the stick.
@@Autocar87 … so short, but so close in time from days gone by……there is a significance that separates us from the modern drivers, and I’d guess that we’ve driven some of that same old road, that today’s driver has never experienced? Ahhhhh the good ole days……..
Love the sound of those 2 cycle detroit diesels. Years ago there was an oil company in my area that had a fleet of brockways and that had 8V71s in them with twin stacks. Loved the sound of them.
Back in the 70’s when I was a kid my neighbor had a Peterbilt with a 12V92. Awesome sound. The fire trucks had detroits too as well as the buses. We lived on the main drag through town so all day long we heard nothing but screaming detroits !!!
@@kelvintorrence5994 awesome! It’s a sound hardly heard now a days. Even people who have no clue about anything stop and stare when I’m grabbing gears going by.
I live in Westbrook and recognized where you were immediately - great sounding truck! You put on quite a sound show for the inmates in Windham climbing up the hill, LOL. In a past life I drove coaches with Detroits, love that scream. It's quieter when its 30+ feet behind you though.
@@Kevin_Rhodes hahaha very nice. That for sure is a good hill to climb. Hard to get a run for it with the rough bridge abutment right there and idiots coming down the hill taking the whole lane. The old girl made it happen though. Thanks for the comment! I remember taking school trips on the old Maine Line busses with 8v-71’s out back doing work. The bus ride was always my favorite part of the field trip.
I love this sound. BIG thanks for sharing this. I recommend listening to the Class 55 Deltic locomotive on full power. The Napier engines sound similar to this truck. I think you might like it.
@@nickkercheval2704 the old girl does well for itself being a single axle dump truck. It’s also so low geared that it’s not too bad shifting wise the short runs I take it on. Gotta plan the turns with Armstrong steering though! Thanks for the comment!
Just can't beat them old Detroit engines one of the most reliable diesel engines ever built and I'd rather have a two stroke Detroit than any other engine made
@@dennyalfro9832 for sure. Not going to be much clutching, I only use it to start and stop. I’ve been doing some work to the truck but have more dirt to haul and will make some more videos. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@@eddieweigel9490 yes it is. I’ve still got to give it a full tune up but runs good enough for now. Thanks for watching and the comment!

That engine sound brings back memories. Beautiful scenery too.

Are you sure it wasn't a 12V71?
I grew up with that sound and it made me a driver , and now a owner operator 2 this day love it

I had a ‘70 9000 with a 238 and a 10 speed with deep reduction and a jake. . Also air assist steering. Exactly like yours inside. LOTS of shifting!

@@anthonyyoung7344 very true! Thanks for the comment.
Smooth shifting
@@michaelbriggs1894 thank you. Grew up riding in a truck with my dad and have been driving them since.
Thanks for the ride 👍
that old dirty Detroit is a talking loudly and proud
@@kelvintorrence5994 yup, the old girl does well for herself. Hopefully it’ll get a full tune up this winter.
Its a great truck!
@@Millo0812 thank you. A work in progress for sure but slowly I’ll get it in nice working shape.
How much RPM 2 stroke diesels get at max?
@@higordaniel7793 the 71 and 92 series detroits are governed at 2100 stock. They’ll turn more if you want as well
@@Autocar87 I tought that they revved more! Thanks for the info!
Two stroke engines fire once for every rotation, so if it’s turning 2100 it’ll sound like a 4 stroke turning 4200.
Screaming
@@markwright455 no other way!
Speed limit 45? A road like this in Texas would be posted at 70 mph.
@@johnhudelson2652 everything is bigger in Texas right? Good thing it isn’t 70 on that road, the old girl won’t go that fast! Haha
Bro could you make another driving vid but with a better view of you clutching and shifting gears?🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Boringgggg
@@AlexGarcia-ew2fv thanks for the comment. Like and subscribe 👍
What does that say about how boring YOUR life is to have watched it and spent even more time expressing your boredom, just to say it’s boring?
@@BillHunclebuncle let the haters hate. They’re just bored in their mom’s basement and nothing better to do.
@@Autocar87 …. Give the dude/dudette/animule some credibility….. He/she/it, might not be able to be old enough to drink coffee yet?
