- Ride along in 1965 Brockway 257 with a 6-71 Detroit Diesel as it rolls through the hills of the the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State. Part 1. Visit www.dailydieseldose.com for more!
I miss the sound of these engines, when I was a kid they were very common on everything from trucks to buses, these days you don't hear them too often.
Even the garbage trucks had screaming detroits in the 70’s, no mistaking one.
nothing sounds better than an old 2stroke Detroit diesel 💪❤
Yes, Not a trucker, but rode a lot of period buses
this is hands down the best sounding engine i have ever heard. love the DD 6-71s and this truck gives them the credit they deserve
search "shifting a 6-71" and watch tiety32's videos
These old detriots will never die. I have a 6-71 in my old Terex wheel loader I use on the farm. You're one heck of a driver too, keeping her revved up just like Detroits like to be. Lovely truck, thanks for sharing!
two-stroke Detroit Diesels are good for two things: making noise from fuel, and scaring the shit out of hybrids.
Make a hybrid poo his pants, haha. Detroit definitely the hotrod diesel of the day.
FYI... Just from family that drovve A DD 6-71s and 8v71, there is no engine that could out perform the meager specs of these working class engines. If you didn't mind going deaf along your journey... When I was a teenager my pop stopped home for his dinner break on his way to Minneapolis out off Chiago for Sears.... My brothers and I were out riding bikes and I knew I loved the sound of a 6-71 then... I was hooked
A turbo on these with N80 injectors and a diff ratio to suit and would go real good around the 75000 pound mark
Not sure what you mean... the larger cousins made by EMD were used in hybrids - namely diesel-electric locomotives. And in fact the 6-71 was used in a few very small diesel-electric switchers. Locomotives went to hybrid technology for the exact same reason cars did - fewer mechanical transmission components and better fuel economy. They just did it in the '30s whereas cars didn't do it en masse until the 2000s.
Oh man... I had almost forgotten just how good an NA Detroit Diesel sounds....... I love turbo whistle, but it kind of mutes the guttural growl these engines have NA. I got to hear a 6V53 in person on an ex-military generator that had enough power to light up both of my uncle's chicken houses, and all three houses on his property, with room to spare. The lights in the chicken houses were brighter than being on the grid....... He would do a monthly load test on generator. It was glorious.
Edit: I must add, when I say he powered both chicken houses and 3 actual houses, I mean this as in powering the most critical things. For the houses, back up power was its own thing and ran just important things like refrigerators and such, and the living rooms had power as well. For the chicken houses, it ran the egg cooling room, the watering system, and the lights. If eggs needed to be gathered without power, it was done the old fashioned way, get them by hand. The generator would also not power the cooling system for the actual chicken house unless it was absolutely needed on the hottest of days.
@John Dunlap if only you knew how a blower works (air scavenger) its just there to bkow out the exhaust so the engine doesnt choke i habe many Detroit's. Blower doesnt ad boost. So yea NA
John Dunlap it’s more like a fan it just blows I think I heard somewhere that it makes like 2 psi so not really worth mentioning but like the other guy said it’s just blowing the exhaust out of the cylinders
Beautiful scenery. Classic truck. Robust engine. Excellent sound. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing says enjoyin the countryside like a screaming Detroit Diesel.
Thank you so much for giving me a ride in the old Brock. Brings back memories of when I worked for Alex C. Smith Inc., in Akron, NY back in the late ‘60’s. It’s been a long time since I’ve looked out the windshield going down the road in a Brockway with a Detroit in it. When I started with Alex in the summer of ‘68, the first tractor that I ever drove was a 1957 Brockway with a 6 cylinder Continental gas engine with a 5-speed & 2-speed rear axle.
Thanks again...
This is better sounding in my opinion than any modern formula one engine will ever be.
+Cameron Jenkins Got that right!
Sounds just as good as the MBE900 OM906LA!
It sure is! In comparison the Fake1's dont have any sound. Detroit is THE ONE....
I often see a lot of hate thrown at the 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engines..... I have never understood why. They are not the most powerful engines on the planet, or the cleanest, but they work, and just keep going even when abused. And, when rebuilt and tuned well.... I know these engines are still not the most power or cleanest engines on the planet, but they can be a lot better than they were. Diesel engines just rock, and get too much hate these days by people who do not understand them.
I agree. However, remember this is a '65 Brockway. It's not new. This was a '94 F1 Ferrari. Not new, but incredible...ua-cam.com/video/M1InrgZiv30/v-deo.html
Great way to remember the way it was........
Thanks John. You been behind the wheel before me
i need a dailydose of listening to screaming jimmy's
Absolutely Beautiful Machine! I miss my 6/71 powered single axle Freightgriinder. Lots of great drives with her...
wipes a tear from the eye.. I miss that sound!!..
Great ride these trucks were the equipment hat built the greatest country on earth good old American iron.
What a beautiful sound
Looks like up by the finger lakes of New York. Thanks I enjoyed the ride. I've run one of those rigs years ago. Sweet
When I was a child, the first time I rode to Minneapolis out of Cicero il in my dad's ol #341 I was hooked.Sears catalog freight. A 6-71 backed w a 10 SPD Fuller Road ranger. 40' drop deck Great Dane. My pop got ridiculed in truck stops by owner/operators. He always said "I'll compare paystubs with you any day " he raised 8 hard working children off of his check. The first time when my pop pulled up to the curb w that 9500 GMC the sound and smell of that screaming 238 had me. Whoooo
Sound and smell are some of the strongest memories. Thanks for sharing.
My dad had a single axle just like that for mobil Oil back then. He would go from Norwalk Ct to Buzzards bay /Cape Cod Ma. It was an overnite trip for him as I-95 ended in New London Ct. On my last job Cape cod from Chesire Ct was a 3 hr trip. 2 stops & return in 8 hrs.
Wow what a old beauty. I'd pay to take that cool old classic for a drive. I'd be having a ball.
Damn! Nothing Better than a Screaming Detroit! 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
I grew up riding with my dad Diamond Reo long nose bench seat sitting oround shift racing trucks out of tollbooths I could speed shift that ole 238 10 speed great memories thank you!
Thanks for the great ride, wonderful sounding motor, great looking tractor.
Thanks for the ride! Nice truck.
That 6-71 is music to my ears.
I miss the growl of those old 2 stroke Detroits I used to drive in gmc general dump trucks ....they sounded great.
My father drove truck all his life and he had a GMC crackerbox with the 6-71 in it then he bought a '69 Kenworth K100 that had a 318 Detroit in it. Love those old Detroits.
working gauges? a damn well maintained old truck, the rust gives it character
Yes, the speedometer was a little off due to tire size difference from the factory setup.
Not rust patina.
Love the diamond paint work.nice
Nice running truck - great scenery too! Thanks for sharing.
This truck was built back when men actually HAD testicles !!!
He was! Nice setup, the attention to detail on his truck is pretty impressive.
back to basics. I remember driving one for an old timer owner operator
+Danny Soldano
how is this thing basic?
+Tap Dancing Crab Demon did you watch the video?
+Tap Dancing Crab Demon Compared to this Volvo 780 I am driving with all the creature comforts of a condo, the turning radius of a Pinto and A/C to boot ( did I mention it has an Ultra shift +? 😉) this Brockway is back to basics. And no doubt it will outlive all of us.
16 Cummins disliked this video !
Truck sounds great, thanks for sharing!
What a beast, love the view of the bonnet and that with the steel dash and instrument cluster it reminds me of the legendary Mack b61.
Love the old 6-71s. Back when drivin a semi was fun.
This truck is awesome.
Sure is!
Love it the hot rod sound of diesels!
I found it interesting that the speedo is in the middle of the dash & the tach was behind the wheel, as if they purposely set it up for drivers to float the gears.
Reminds me of when I was a kid there used to be a 67 White 7000 cabover that had the 671 in it and it had that "sound". Sadly when I got old enough to find what happened to the truck I found it in the owners yard, the cab is pretty well smashed, the frame is buried in nearly 4 feet of mud from flooding to the point where you can almost walk into the cab from level and it was left with all the windows down. I was able to retrieve the air horns off of it and when I am doing redoing my 74 Ford I will have the horns on it from that 67 White.
:'(
I drove a 67 White Cabover only it had a 250 Cummins, the 671 I also drove was in the IH 4070
And see the driver slammed his hand in the door and started driving angry
I thought you had to do it three times to make the Detroit perform?
I always loved building the 71
+Ben M Hughes A true classic.
That is so awesome!!!
Two sounds I love - Detroit diesels and Douglas DC-3 planes.
The old girl runs right along, sounds real good
She sure does. Trucking as it once was.
Womderful engine Sound👍!
Wow, truly beautiful. I think I`m going to look out for a vintage truck to fix up. I hope I don`t get divorced over it.
Thanks, Robert
+shnimmuc Well, I say it's worth the risk!
Tell your old lady you only live once. Don't let women fuck up your dreams
Yeah, need more.
Not gonna lie, but it sounds damn sexy when accelerating.
Beautiful !!
My pleasure!
pure bliss
RPM's the higher the better it runs
SWEEEEEEEEET SOUNDIN DETROIT
The absolute Best sound in the world !
These engines are unstoppable. I have experience with them in the marine environment. They leak oil like crazy, but who cares? It's a shame there's no easy way to clean up the emissions of a 2 stroke Detroit to keep the EPA happy. They were fantastic!
They could probably have added catalysts for NOx and Particulates and kept them going for awhile, but they are expensive and other engines initially did not need them…
Nice shifting
One of the coolest sounds ever
Being British,I first heard a Detroit powered truck on Ice Road Truckers on TV. In certain episodes there is a driver called the King of Obsolete who is featured.I enjoyed hearing the sound of his Detroit powered Ford truck driving up steep hills,it sounded very impressive.
The truck in this video sounds great too.
Ah yes. That was of one the few trucks the producers saw fit to leave alone in regards to engine sounds. Many of the other trucks engines were dubbed over for God only knows what reason. That being said, they still turned the volume done. Let that Detroit sing! No need to mess with perfection
I am surprised that Britain's own Foden two stroke didn't get your attention first. I've always been a fan of the Detroits, but when I heard the Foden I thought how it sounded like a much smoother, more refined Detroit 6-71.
jrf84 Loved it when he'd come to the rescue, and you got to hear that engine SCREAM!!! Music 💜
jrf84 I hope you have become a 2 stroke Detroit fan now, sounds like a diesel Ferrari
the king of obsolete have a youtube channel with many video
I thought I recognized that scenery. I'm in ithaca.
Not sure of the exact model but it does have an Eaton 5 speed mated to a 2 speed rear end.
What is the shift pattern for that truck?
Waking up the neighbors
it remember a 12V engine from 1977 lambo countach
I have to hand it to old truckers who ran 2 stroke Detroits and are now suffering hearing loss. Kind of glad majority of trucks are 4 stroke diesels. Was beside I think a Kenworth K100 COE with an 8v92 and the guy decided to run his jakes on the freeway...lost my hearing for few minutes...considering it was straight piped.
+Ratkill9000 Yes, it small doses the DD is wonderful but it wears out the ears fairly quick.
+Ratkill9000
2500 miles a week for 7 years
Nothing like a Detroit symphony
What a sound. DETROIT POWER
Did not see too many Brockway Trucks in Florida 🥵 or in Nebraska mostly Mack Trucks,White,KW, Pete's etc.
Love it ...We are restoring our old 1952 Greyhound with a 671 Detroit and adding a turbo if anyone wants to watch on our youtube channel...
Looks like fun.
@@Dailydieseldose315 It is fun but it would be more fun if we knew what we were doing....
@@doityourselfwithfixinitwit270 You'll be experts by the time you're done. 😂
@Reverend Krieger Durden Tyler sr Hopefully the end results will be great...right now I'm looking for a new fuel filter system then we want to get oil going to the turbo then get air from the turbo to the blower...then put our new rebuilt radiator on ...the list goes on ...wish us luck...Thanks for commenting...
I just got off of the phone with a friend of mine (Chuck H) that drove this tractor to the Hartford show. Chuck had the CF Doubles at the show.
thanks for your video nice sounding engine!
We had a construction company in my home town with macks with 8v71's in them
NICE, nothing sounds as good as an old 71 series Detroit, except maybe a runnaway 71 series.
WOW. Good noise :-)
My brother had a 1960's yacht with 2 6-71's. I still have the Navy overhaul training manual. It's a hard bound college book showing everything there is. lol
The 71 series meant that each cylinder was 71 cubic inches. There was the 53, 71, 92, *102?* i forgot, (too lazy to google it lol). The 8V-71 was a 318 HP and so was the 6V-92. Take 2 cylinders off the 8-71 and the 6-71 (40 HP per cyl) is how much HP? Maybe a 230? The loud raspy spot about 1600-1800 is that power band like a 2 stroke motor cycle. Plus there are 12 impulses where other motors have 6. In the power band these things could pull almost anything.
They also would cruise across the desert at 2300 rpm's. Man they were clean burning when you were highballing. It was the smoke at mid range acceleration that killed them with the EPA :(.
I'm a Cummins man per sei, But I loved the 2 stroke Jimmy's.
51(rare) 53 71 92 110 149
David Vermillion hey thanks for that. another little story is I was on Interstate 5 at the Buttonwillow rest area and I heard a diesel pulling but when I walked out I could not see it yet it was still there idling. all the sudden this chick comes out looking like a Montana plowboy I was walking towards a 1987 International Pickup the last year they made. so I kind of like quickly up behind her and said hey what's under the hood and she opened it for me. and there sat a 3-53!!! if I remember right it had a 5-speed Allison in it that would be comprable to what the FL70's had. being a 2 stroke 3 cylinder it sounded like an inline 6 diesel sitting there idling and had such a deep throat sound it was amazing. if I can ever find me a 3-53 it's going straight into my 64 Chevy pickup lol
Wow just wow. 3-53 can really scream! I would have loved to see that. Hope to one day cram a 6v53 in an F350 one day. It don't make the HP a modern pickup does but it can make the torque!
cell pat no 69s, the engines we're -53, -71,-92, -110 and -149
omg that is sweet!
Yes it is 2spd rear. 5.60 in low and 4.11 in high. with a T-905C fuller main box. I am going to change main to a T0-905C. I can run@ 65mph now @2250, But want to gear higher. this should take me around 72-74. Also you can hear the synco is going out between 4th and 5th. The reason for the grinding between 4th and 5th. Thanks for all the comments
What is the shift pattern for that truck?
I've changed the Transmission. It still has a 2spd rear but now has a 4x4 (16) spd spicer
looks like Aurelius through the Village of Cayuga then south from Union Springs
Bingo.
Love to have one,
hi everyone, i still run a 6v-71 in my 1967 GM bus , i wish i could get some 4 valve heads with Jake brakes for it and 5 inch exhaust
in a f350 the clooest ull get is a 6v53 shoe horned in and ull have too beef up the front end...the 6v53 weighs 1500 not inculding the turbo...it might be more then that but its been done before just look it up on youtube....still have the same great nose just smaller and its governerd for 2800
It sounds like a dadgum sports car
there is the ruggest truck built hey wheres all the plastic at not in that truck love it
FEARSOME..!
1:10 forgive me (ferraristas) but for a moment I really tought this is a very old Ferrari.
Love it!
did you know that the Detroit diesel carry that much power
Sounds awesoe
I'm from that area!!!!
Nice part of the world!
@@Dailydieseldose315 love to get a ride in that beauty.
Motor berra bonito demais.
Diesel Ferrari
i want one like this :p
woooo yeah screaming jimmy
Awesome, I love 1:00 to like !:40.
I've been watching your videos for a while - didn't know you were somewhat local!
Anyone know of a working Brockway like this around the Glens Falls NY area? I see it occasionally would like to know more. Thanks
There are a few avid Brockway collectors out that way. Got any more details on the look of the truck?
Thanks for the reply. I'm surprised to hear there is more than 1 still working around here. I don't have any distinct details on the truck to identify. I've seen it on Quaker road a few times and it's always "omg there's a Brockway" I'll have to overcome my shock next time I see it and make note of details.
Wonder which truck is louder the '65 brockway or the ''79 gmc brigadier with the same 6-71 Detroit engine?
drive them long enough they get real quiet. you get deaf so you cant hear period. they had a 3 cyclinder diesel put in a farm tracter after running it all day you listened to the echo and ears ring for the whole night
I wonder if a 6v71 would fit in an AEC Routemaster?
That would make one hell of an RM.
Michael Hayward
It certainly would mate. Plenty of eye and ear candy to boot as well ;).
QUE CHINGON SONIDO DEL MOTOR TODO UN CAMION DE CARRERAS.
Hey that dash fan is not original equipment..lol I drove C.D.L. for fourty years And Brockways and Diamond Reos were the trucks I learned on.Our company Brocks had Cummins powerplants in them...
