Boy I remember those days. Im retired 45yrs trucking from early 70s. Brings back loud memories. 😊

[@joshuablakeney2983]

"Loud Memories" I love that. I started driving in 2011 and luckily my time hasn't been all plastic and fiberglass. I got to run some real rigs in the oilfield. My assigned truck was a 379 with a king of the hill cat and the back up was an old 70s Mack dump truck with a Spicer 4x4.

[@jeffaboularage1450]

I was a boy growing up around a Detroit shop in the 80s. I remember the Tigator rigs coming in to get opened up more.. Is it really true they were hitting 600 to the ground on those 71s?

It's honestly quite impressive how much power those old 2 stroke Detroits had , especially relative to the Displacement.

[@HuxleysShaggyDog]

How much?

[@aaaabababa]

@@HuxleysShaggyDog well, yes, quite a lot for their time, a Cummins with 14L of displacement made about 400hp, meanwhile a Detroit diesel 8v71 with only 9.3L of displacement made nearly the same power while missing nearly 5 Liters of displacement compared to the cummins.

[@maplemanz]

But it came at cost ,little lugging ability =low torque rise and much shorter lifespan compared with 4 cycle competition .

[@bmad1386]

@@maplemanz yeah that's the main issue with 2 strokes, gear ratios can help, but it's still inefficient at making torque on the down low

[@rcadventures8390]

@@maplemanztf you mean little torque there literally known for converting diesel into noise and torque there torque monsters there issue was being way to over engineered they were way ahead of there time they owned 77.1% of the diesel market at one point but they were to damn heavy I have a 4-53t in a 84 f150 the engine weighs like 1400 as a 3.5L 4 banger 406ft pounds of torque 175 horse well I garret swapped mine so probably more power now but you get the point

Now I know what engine I heard. Saw a vintage Semi go by and sounded exactly like this. Let me tell you, the video does no justice. Its sounds Multi-Dimensional in real life. Like I couldn't tell if it was a Helicopter above or something in the ground below me. I didn't know if it was in front or back or left or right. Its ridiculous. Btw in case you were wondering he was on the other side of the street passing by in the opposite direction while I was stopped.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

@GT Classic Plastic yep. They are badass man. I gotta find one soon I got all CAT powered trucks at the moment. I purchased a cheap international paystar single axle dump truck not long ago with a 290 Cummins. I may see if I can Detroit swap that truck. Something to think about. The engine in it is nice. The trucks old and abused and rusty. That’s all. It’s got differential locks and AWD switches! Sweet old truck I love that truck. Gonna see about putting a plow on it too. It did have a plow before. I just got the truck.
