Jake's New Semi with a 12v71 Detroit Diesel

Welcome back!
Could you imagine pulling into a show with an old Kenworth powered by a Detroit and towing behind you two John Deere repowers, also with Detroits? Well, that is exactly what Jake has in mind for his new truck! This 1973 Kenworth is decked out with all the options, including heated mirrors, dual pyrometers, and my favorite, Jake Brakes. Everyone on the farm is very excited about this truck, and we can't wait to straight pipe it!
Thanks for watching, and I'll see ya next time!

Detroit Diesel, converter of fuel into happiness. It sure put a smile on my face.

[@RennerStockFarms]

I was smiling ear to ear the whole ride!

[@jlo13800]

congrats on your new 2 stroke truck

[@kennywoolford5452]

@SpaceAce100 the dd 2 stroke engines have no intake valves, but they do have exhaust valves . Intake air comes into the cylinder near the bottom of the stroke the out the exhaust valves in the head.

[@808TheDuck]

Mine too!

[@deutschchad1399]

One of the best sounding engines ever made. I’d be lying if I said I’m not jealous.

[@calebweaver3628]

Same. Few trucks that nice left here in the east.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

And you would not like to sit in it all day every day,the noise would drive you insane, i know, i have one!!!!!

[@stacytoledo5905]

Wish calif, could be that way !

[@jlo13800]

Yes i got a silver 8v92 2 stroke and shes doing good with XD-100

[@rickyarger1169]

Love the sound and the washtub size steering wheel...

[@coloradooilfield5287]

Man where did you guys even find this gem. Ive been looking for a Kenny with a 12v71 jimmy for years and I just cant find one, let alone one thats work ready. Very nice truck glad to see another one still alive and working

[@MichaelTJD60]

Great sounding Detroit. That's somewhat uncommon to see an older KW, spec'd out with the 12V71 and Dayton wheels (and I'm assuming spring suspension), that isn't a log truck.

[@fredmcjones3076]

This not only sounds beautiful it sounds like it has been taken care of!

[@dannaumann9758]

Pushed an old Detroit myself! That old saying was a fact……..”up the hill slow and down the hill fast, if that ain’t a Detroit, I’ll kiss your ass”!

[@RennerStockFarms]

That’s a good one! Haha

[@dantesinfernopurgatory7826]

Love the sound of the Dirty Dozen

[@blaircrocker9845]

Drove an old Detroit powered dump truck. It was a torque monster. Going up hill overloaded ( of course) it would be screaming away shaking vibrating then you realize it hardly moving. You could walk faster lol. We had a problem of spinning the hubs on the Dayton's and shearing the valves. These were only old site trucks so we welded lug nuts to the wheels on both sides of the valves to trap the wheels against the hubs. Could have 1000x20 and 11r22.5 mixed on the hubs what ever had the most tread. Never get away with that crap now.

[@peteschiavoni]

That’s an awesome truck. Jake looked stoked driving it. Nothing like the sound of the “Buzzin Dozen”.

[@RennerStockFarms]

Very unique, jake loves it!

[@dontcare3430]

I was just trying out some new headphones, and it sounds like I'm riding along.

[@johnchristensen3030]

2 stroke detroit and dayton wheels, Works of art.

[@RennerStockFarms]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@c.d.porter9366]

First truck I drove was a power liner (freightliner) cabover with 12V71 dual turbos with 5x4 "sticks". Never enjoyed the job as much when they were gone.

[@kwilli8688]

That sir is the creme de la creme....a 12V is the ultimate sound of symphony

[@bricegardner7815]

I recently became obsessed with watching videos of these old trucks.

[@oldmanfromoc7684]

5 miles to the gallon of fuel. I drove lots of them in the 70's. I drove the 1st. Powerliner. 600 horse twin turbo V12 Never got passed!

[@JVPTH3MVP]

What transmission was behind it?

[@deborahchesser7375]

Those Dayton wheels get me every time, they look so perfect on the older trucks. A turbo sure would be neat to see on the buzzin duzzin, love your rig brother. 🇺🇸👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I ran across a guy that ran a truck shop with a 9K GMC with a double turbo 12V in it. Had two 6V-71T exhaust manifolds and a turbo on each one. 733 horses to the ground and it was SWEET. The 9000 were some of the sweetest trucks made. Of course that was a long nose.

[@Romans--bo7br]

@@lewiemcneely9143... LEWIE!!!..... How are ya? Still have the same ph. no. ending in 9*9*?? Talk to me. J. It's Been a while!... to say the least!! Thankful that I just happened to look to see what the reply was to "Deborah chesser's" comment.

[@farmercraig567]

The best way to drive a 2 stroke Detroit is ; First you walk up to the door, open door, put hand in door slam door shut to get good and pissed off then drive.

[@mintyman1968]

W900a! Sweet! Dirty dozen sticker better stay on there!

[@ALongLongWaytoGO]

I may have pee'd a little....ITS THE MOST AWESOME SOUNDING THING ON THE PLANET...God I love these old trucks...wish I had one.

[@robpeters5204]

That guy drove it like a champ! You don’t have to rev the everlasting piss out of them!

[@SK-tr9ii]

Exactly! If you drove them like you had a brain in your head they were a long lasting motor.

[@mattt198654321]

But it's WAY more fun if you do

[@davidmarquez1872]

😂

[@rondye9398]

There is no torque rise in a Detroit, like a Cat or Cummins, so rpm's are where the power is. Back in the Mid 70's the Ontario 500 Truck Stop in SoCal had lines of these all chromed out. Cummins Kt450's, and Cat 3208 v8's. Like a giant custom truck show every weekend.

[@nomerc3608]

They will never be allowed to build a free air breathing monster like that again! I Loved hearing that monster roaring!

[@bricegardner7815]

I’ve never been a trucker, but I grew up working on small blocks with my dad. Watching stuff like this warms my heart. I know a carburetor is outdated, but man there’s nothing like driving something with one the smell and everything.

[@johngreasamar7730]

What a great vidio of an awesome truck. Great buy Jake.

[@captainmorgan1107]

Nice, even with the "Chicago wobbler" wheels! KW with a Detroit 12v71 in it, subscribing is a no brainer!

[@RennerStockFarms]

Thanks for watching and sticking around!

[@chrisgreasamar1731]

Great video! There is an Oliver collector around me that has his Peterbilt painted to match his 4 digits. Meadow green main body and clover white roof and fenders. Its a great look pulling into the show. That would be a good look for you guys too... Paint it to match the Deere's you'll be hauling.

[@matthewlinke4537]

Love it I want one

[@thebigokie6.4_392]

Buzzin dozen!

[@weofnjieofing]

Nothing beats the sound of an angry 2 stroke Detroit V12! Great investment and worth every Penny Sir!

[@gumbymeyer946]

L🤣L A buzzin' dozen !!! Yep, fits right in with the "collection" your Grandpa started !! 👌 And who 'woulda thunk' Jake went for "Farmall Red"!!! 👍😊😂 Only drawback, it needed a 2 stick, Jake !! 😉

[@jeffsmith9328]

Good old Amodel with a buzz’n dozen

[@danw1955]

Man, that 12V sounds healthy! Just from the quick view of the sides, it doesn't look like it has any major leaks. A set of twin 'hair dryers' would be a plus for heavy hauling (like for the Case 150 if necessary). I really like the lines of the 70s KW's.😁👍

[@rev.randall2292]

Love it , solid truck with a Buzzin Dozen.

[@bobblenuts]

I used to drive a Detroit on my weekend job many many years ago...kinda fun but really glad it was not my everyday job...I still hear it in my sleep almost 50 years later! LOL Glad you have it, looking forward to seeing it when you finish working on it.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Gives out tinnitus something to keep it company!

[@holmes1956O]

Takes me back to when trucking was fun. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

When you need to move that grain fast

[@lonokolotowicz5597]

OH the memories these sounds bring back.. I had a 74 PETE with a 12v71, Twin turbos switzer 600 . I had straight pipes on mine.

[@brenterickson1695]

Always been a Mack guy but something about a old KW or Pete with a Detroit warms my heart....guess I long for the old days.....

[@adamash8150]

An old driving instructor once told me the best way to drive a Detroit is to first slam your hand in the door. Then you have the right attitude to drive one.

[@ryanmaurer7852]

I was always told to slam you hand in the door, drive it like your girlfriend, paycheck and wife are all a week late.

[@FerrickOxhide]

That's just if you had a 6-71. He has two.

[@Jleed989]

Great to see young people still farming

[@randykovalenko1236]

He hit the key, the starter hit the flywheel and the engine was running. Good engine.

[@vldazzman5625]

[@PapaJ5667]

Sweetest sounding diesel engine ever made !!

[@RustyCarnahan]

Furiously smooth. That's the sound a 12V71 makes.

[@ChevyConQueso]

Awesome buy Jake. Refreshing seeing y'alls old equipment with all the space shuttles on the roads now. Many a night people have thought some hotrod was ripping by in the distance, but it was probably just an old Detroit at 2600 rpm. Love the old 2 strokes- there's nothing cooler but a 6+4 or 5+4 paired with one.

[@RennerStockFarms]

We have quite a bit of new equipment, but use old stuff any chance we get

[@johnhyde111]

That will definitly be the pride of the fleet

[@DaleDirt]

Dude , I had to watch this a second time . AWESOME .... I bet she pulls like a Monster .

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I used to run a Euc TS-24 pan with the 12V in the front and a 6_71 in the back and an old R-35 rock truck with the 12V and they are STRONG engines. he exhaust system was gone on the 35 and you could hear it for a WHILE! Just hold it to the floor and let the Allison do the walking after you start moving the shifter. You got a FINE rig right there as long as that smooth driver stays in it. Thanks and GBWYall!

[@troyplocinski8401]

Jakes foot has the pedal in the floor. That screaming jimmy loves it! Awesome video.

[@johncunningham4820]

12V71 Non Turbo . Beautiful old Truck . And what a Symphony .

[@EricTheOld]

What a sweet old rig! It sure brings back memories

[@canvids1]

Yes the sound and power will blow your mind, grossing around 120,00 + lbs with a set of 2- 20 ft containers, on trailers, you will never forget the sound and power.

[@tombeyer375]

Gotta love the sound of that Detroit! Thay was when those motors could breathe, not like today's castrated stuff. Last, but certainly not least, driver knew how to shift really smoothly! Great memories of float shifting back in the day!

[@retiredwelder]

That just makes me smile!!!!!!!im still smiling 🙂 as always WORK SAFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸😎😎

That is the Golden anniversary Kenworth w900. I had one in the 90s but it had a 903 in it. Love the old KWs . Starting to rebuild a 70 W900 with the 12v71. Love the sound it's music to the ears 👂 😌.

Hey Brad! You know us Renners, we have a soft spot for Detroits.

[@K-Effect]

Those exhaust manifolds look perfect to add turbos on top of. But in all reality it’s perfect the way it is

[@gmanchurch]

Thanks so very much for sharing that with us! The first Diesel engine I worked on was a 8V-71 Detroit two-stroke. I have loved them every since that day! Very nice truck!

[@larrytomb3896]

Driving a Detroit is simple never take your foot off the floor shift up and down with the clutch as it takes too long for a Detroit to recover. Coming from a guy that drove Detroit's like this when they were NEW. PS if you start to fell sorry for the engine shut your fingers in the door

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Only way to drive them was pissed off had to SLAM hand in door to get mad enough to drive it 😝😜
