Kenworth W900A Detroit diesel 12v71 jake brake

Trip to the Historic Grand Prix of Zandvoort. 17/18-6-2023.
Driving a Kenworth W900a Detroit diesel 12v71.
2 gear shifted. With a 40ft container.

[@davidmeckley3773]

My dad drove a 75w900 with a 445 silver 15speed with 4:11rears. He put almost a million miles on that truck. Hauling steel for about 5 years and another 6 pulling dumps. The guys around there used to call him back road Bob because in the outlaw days he didn't cross a scale in over a decade. RIP"Hotshot"!

I touched a 6-110 magneto 60000 volts and it sucked

[@445xone]

1974 was the first year for the 8V92.. Silver 8V92 was introduced in 1980-81. I ran an 83 K100 with a 445/13 for a few years..probably the smoothest running engine I've ever driven.

Been in Europe almost 20 years and I've never seen a longnose in Europe, let alone Detroit inside a beautiful Ken. Take good care of her and I'm sure all the Polish and Romanian drivers with their glittered out Scanias are just a little bit jealous when they catch you passing by.

How is this Europe? Don't they drive on the left side?

@@americansfirst1095 That would be the UK that drives on the left. On the continent they drive on the right. Best way to think about it is British colonies and territories + Japan, left, everywhere else, right.

This is in the Netherlands by the looks of it. Here the truck cannot be used for commercial purposes due to emission laws. You can only drive it private as a classic vehicle.

[@MAXED-TRUCKING]

Wth this is Europe?

[@Jordi-Jan]

@MAXED-TRUCKING the displays in the gas station are written in Dutch. The cars plates are european and white, so I guess Belgium (the Netherlands plates are yellow). But in minute 5:26 you can see the truck leaving Kapellebrug. Well: a quick search in googlemaps shows Kapellebrug is a small village in... THE NEDERLANDS? Opening the map a bit shows that the truck is driving southwards, you can see the red gas station on the left side on GoogleMaps, on the right side of the video. You can even see the roundabout in the map, and discover that leaving Kapellebrug is not only leaving the village but also De Nederlands, and entering Belgium. Later, in minute 5:45 you can see the indication of the allowed maximum speeds in Vlaanderen, the Flemish side of België. And in 7:30 a road sign indicating ways to Antwerp and Brugge, as famous belgian cities. It is possible to see many other clues, but finally, in minute 16:38 the truck takes the motorway exit that leads to Breda and Rotterdam, meaning back to The Netherlands. Last, but not least, Belgium is known in Europe for their American Trucks Clubs.

[@Jordi-Jan]

@wjye this one belongs probably to an American Truck Club, but I have seen a few Peterbilts and Kenworths working around Barcelona, and there's a known couple of french brothers that also work with an american truck each.

[@suprestoner]

The v12s have been known to push over a thousand horsepower, let that sink in. At 2 mi to the gallon

[@hoost3056]

​@suprestoner true. Even the NA models with bigger injectors were 500 plus horsepower. The problem, I found out later, with the two strokers is that they overscavenge the cylinders, hence the bad emissions and mpg. They were more performance biased. Just changing the port locations in the sleeves and retarding the exhaust cams ( there are patent papers on this ) improves efficiency quite a bit, and Speed of Air came up with a piston design that gives more complete combustion
