1987 GMC General Detroit Diesel 8v92 vs NOCO GBX155 jump pack, cold start!

[@brucehodges7889]

Wow, I thought the Starcar was a cool old truck but this one is ultra cool. Those 475’s were big hammers back in the day. Can’t wait to see more of both trucks…

[@jeremybishop9848]

thanks Bruce!

After caterpillars. Nothing is better than 60 Series and Silver 8V92TAs. Best of Luck with your Star Car project. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸

That's a tidy old girl. Not often you can say you have a truck that's going up in value. Nice👍

I drove a GMC general tri-axle with a coal body on it. Had a 318 Detroit in it 13 speed, same exact interior. The guys in the quarry used to call me the bus driver. LOL

that 8v92 sounds sweet, i could listen to that all day!

You and me both!

I love those old Generals, and it looks really good. Generals and the old White Road Bosses are two of my favorites. One day . . .

Rite Mint! ! I used to drive a Jimmy-G w/a 475 back in the early 90's, dump truck tri-axle with a 13spd. It still is one of my fave day cabs to sit in.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Just KZbin surfing and the old general caught my eye. I ran the short hood version with a 8V71 and was a torture. The dog house inside the cab gave limited room for my feet especially the accelerator pedal. The truck as worn out when I got it so I had to make the best of it. Later in. IH trans star I ran The 8V92 and it was a fantastic motor. Not only the bigger cylinders but the addition of a turbo made the motor a monster. I also ran a 6V92 in a brigadier dump with an Allison that was a rocket! Plus my first truck with float steers. I have clicked the subscriber button so I’m here for future projects. Thanks

[@arnenelson4495]

Brings back memories. In '79 we had a new fleet of Transtar 4300's with 8V92's and 10 speeds. Good runners.

[@379insk]

Love the look of the old Generals! Those lithium boost boxes work fine until they are exposed to temperatures like we are experiencing in Saskatchewan now. Lithium cant handle cold!

In 2000 I drove a '86 Freightliner with a 8v-92 tt, I drove it just over a million miles, in 2007 it was taken out of regular service and restored and only runs a few times a year, i left in 2015 and it was there then.

[@rexgratteaux8655]

I Love your old General , I remember them back in the day , they hauled ass , 8V92Ta was a superior Detroit compared to the late 8V71 Detroit

[@dwightcorbett8889]

In great condition for it's age. It's almost identical to a plastic model I built, except I added a third rear lift axle.

[@danielrenovetz5721]

usually fires on the first hit if i dont leave it sit too long, but drips oil from the airbox tubes quite a bit.

You said it might be tired, but once it got going, no smoke, and purring, sounds good. I just purchased a 1982 MCI MC9 Custom Coach bus conversion. She has a rebuilt 8V92 in it, drove great all the way from Ohio to Texas. I've got a lot to learn, but I'm lovin it.

in the later years, yes they are fiberglass. the early ones are steel and very prone to rust.
