Scania 143 420 V8, long steep hill , great sound.

A long climb at 33 tons.

[@Wedget]

Unbelievable sounding old school v8 with torque to match, it was in its sweet spot at around 1300-1400 rpm

[@bmad1386]

That's a pretty low rev count for a V8 even for a diesel, Another crazy thing I've learned is that the Volvo's biggest inline 6 engines rev even lower (900-1000 rpm "sweet spot")

I miss travelling in one of these with my father. He drove these when they were new.

[@RICHARD.WRIGHT1]

Just sounds as if it's at IDLE speed. Fantastic Scanny!

[@mickgill2969]

Hey boys calm yourself down Top off the green all day .I'm driving 143m 450 on Dock trailers Immingham UK 9+ to the gallon 1 in 20 pass me usually tippers any way sweet lorry we just watched❤❤

[@siimmaasikmets3658]

Fantastic V8 sound!

[@tommymoto41]

Stefan, it's very happy in the green using the torque of the engine

[@richardlloyd6274]

She sounds so sweet. Lovely little turbo hum.

[@blakeyboy689]

V8s are happy enough around 1300 rmp. Pulls away just nicely.

[@mickz8369]

God does this bring back memories.....three years in a 143m on interstate .......loved that truck.

[@That_Bot_6252]

those gear shifts are better than sound therapy

[@richiep1713]

Heading up to Ebbw Vale 😊

[@babazungu3180]

I wish i can drive this scania 1 day v8❤❤❤

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

The sound is incredible. Love the Scania's. Would prefer you didn't hold a camera while driving though.

[@Namtov]

Is this truck running every day ? I mean as a normal worktruck ?. Used to drive a 143 streamline ( also with the retarder ) back in the late 90´ties

[@tommymoto41]

Yes, its fully rebuilt and I use it everyday doing container work. It's a little old fashioned compared to modern trucks, but I don't mind. Mine has a retarder too, 👌

[@MarkGelderland]

It's a struggle indeed

[@stefanpantelic8824]

Very low RPM in the hill for that engine 14 litre V8 should be in 1700-1800 RPM in the hill with load

[@joseteixeira5900]

Using 2/3 of the green band, is the sweet spot for the 14 liter. But it depends of the weight…

[@anderswahlgren9308]

when you pass 1500 a small dragon appears in the fuel tank and consumes all the fuel. As a used to be owner and operator of both Scania and Volvo +600hp trucks the closer you keep to 1000rpm the more money is left for you!

[@johncunningham4820]

100% wrong . It isn't a Two-stroke Detroit . 1200-1500 rpm is where Scania V-8's belong .

[@anderswahlgren9308]

1500 when you are driving on a bad gravel road with 60t and need to be able to quickly ad power or reduce power when loosing traction, yes. (Se my videos for examples) But on a dry highway for fuel economy you stay around or under the 1200 you have at cruise speed. (The one i had was geared for forest so it was a bit a high on cruise.. The Volvos did 1150 at cruise)

[@johncunningham4820]

@@anderswahlgren9308 . I presume you are talking to Stefan Pantelic again .

Yes but for 16 litre V8 Euro3,4,5,6
