Old Detroit diesels were two strokes, so they fired twice as often as a four stroke with the same number of cylinders. They were the most efficient method for turning diesel fuel into noise.

[@josecarrilloii4036]

You better start *buying jerry cans,* 'cause those engines *chew through fuel* like crazy compared to a *FOUR-stroke straight-6.*

That is what I am thinking a screaming jimmy.

[@josecarrilloii4036]

I'm going to guess that it's the *Detroit Diesel 16V-71,* aka the *"Screaming Jimmy"* you're talking about, right? The truck that Jeff was driving from the Burt Reynolds movie *"Smokey and the Bandit" (1977)* had the *V12* variant of the Detroit Diesel *71 Series,* specifically the *12V-71.*

Those old Detroits were screamers! Especially the 2-strokes. My personal favorite was the 12v71 also nicknamed the "Buzzin'' Dozen"

[@Chris_Troxler]

That's kinda what it's sounds like.

[@TheChadSmithPodcast]

My Dad and I were driving down a back road one day and came across a 1960 GMC city bus RV conversation. They had swapped the gas pusher engine out for a 6V53 Detroit Diesel and an Allison manual transmission and 2 speed rear end. It has 2 stainless steel pipes that came strait up in the back. We got it for a steal and went camping in it quite a bit. It screeeamed!! I loved hearing the Detroit Diesel in this video! Oldie but a goodie

As a truck driver this recreation of the mighty DD is freaking spot on. The idle the highway screaming low speeds all again spot on. Nice shifting too man...

I'd stick to the blue *1989 Peterbilt 379 sleeper cab truck* with the red flames from the Micheal Bay movie *"Transformers" (2007;* animated version from 1986 doesn't count), which, to anyone who's even seen it, is in fact *Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen)* in vehicular form.

[@Disneyland_guy]

@Justin Clayton what tree mod is Jeff using?

[@C-M-E]

"Keep 'er wound up to around 90! I'm 10-10 on the side." Still one of my favorite car movies; one of a select few that I've bought on just about every format due to wearing them out (!), and another one of those that they flat out could not make today due to the ever so lovely p.c. overlords. Some of the Detroit Diesels have that trademark sound as they're two strokes. Sound great to these ears, but I'm bias I suppose. Add: When you get a few free moments, look up Screaming Jimmy Detroit Diesel from Deboss Garage. It's hilarious towards the end and probably a retro 90s music moment.

[@astrum_nauta]

Youve got To admit, we'd all watch the piss out of a remake with a Camaro and a newer truck. Even through the second and third don't even compare to the original

[@C-M-E]

@@astrum_nauta You know, I started to get hopeful when those Camaro Trans Am conversion cars started gaining a lot of traction, but nothing ever really came of it. Bit of a shame that the cameo potential is gone too. But much agreed, out of all the crap they've rebooted from the 80s with little luck, that could be a good one with 25% effort.

[@josecarrilloii4036]

@@brucewayne9300 Personally, I think a *FOUR-stroke diesel* engine (i.e., a custom-built *Caterpillar 8CT-15 twin-turbocharged V8 diesel engine* with a computer chip) ...would sound better than the two-stroke Detroits.

[@mongo5888]

Dont worry about that ol Jimmy Jeff, they all sound that way. They sound like they are turning a million RPM because they are a 2 stroke, thus they are firing on every stroke up unlike a conventional 4 stroke diesel. They have a great, unique sound, make good power, are fairly lightweight compared to other designs of the time, and are pretty reliable and easy to work on. Always my favorite to drive lol. They dont like being lugged down though so keep her wound tight so you can keep it in its narrow power band, and make sure to take extra oil with you. If a Driptroit isnt leaking at least a lil bit of oil, then it doesnt have any lol. Great video!

[@Robiko9]

[@timfreeman3178]

Never heard a Detroit diesel wind that hard in the final gear,so I would say it's a low gear ratio issue in that truck causing the ole' two stroke to be wound to the gills. Cool vid and thanks for sharing a legend truck Jeff!!

Jeff the reason that Detroit is so much louder is because it’s an old Detroit 2 stroke diesel. That’s how they used to roll back in the day, but god damn they were loud motors!

The engine used in the movie truck was actually a cummins...as for the engine here sounding like its working hard in low gears thats actually due to Detroits of that era were 2 stroke motors so after a certain rpm the engine rev was just wide open because both intake and exhaust valves where open at the same time

[@tommygriffin8301]

About the Detroit Diesel engine that's in your '74 Kenworth (8V-71, 12V-71, etc.), it's a 2-stroke engine, which makes it sound like it's about to grenade itself. And it does have a killer sounding Jake brake.

[@josecarrilloii4036]

**FOUR-stroke*

[@gabenieto3113]

if ya didn't know detroit's were 2 strokes so they sounded like they were running twice the rpm. And they were the first diesel engine to have common rail fuel injection the only down side was they would run away very easily after sitting for a couple years ! hope this info helps. btw love all the vids you make!

[@josecarrilloii4036]

This is the exact reason why we have *FOUR-stroke TURBO-diesel straight-6's* in semi-trucks today (although I'd much rather them be a *V8* since the 1980's).

[@suspicioususer]

They should add the actual Atlanta to Texaracana and back again run

[@claysibert]

The old two stroke Detroits are loud. You’d rev them to about 2k before a gear change was made and bog them down when down shifting. It’s a classic engine.

The traffic jam at the beginning would have been the perfect scenario for the shotty in the cab!!! I bet traffic would have let you in then!

[@kevinparshall6397]

Hey Jeff, Good run would be Sealand port of Seattle Wa to Port Angeles Wa..

[@saddletramp1979]

For those that don't understand that's a 2 stroke most engines are 4 stroke, in a 4 stroke it fires every other time the piston is at top dead center, in a 2 stroke it fires every time the piston is at top dead center. So the 2 stroke fires the same number of times at 1000 rpms as a 4 stroke counter part at 2000 rpms. more or less.

[@mechntechbeau]

I love those old Screaming Jimmys. Detroit 2 strokes sound like that because every time the Pistons come up it fires the injectors so you get 2× the explosions per cylinder when compared to "normal" (4 stroke) engines

[@HJZ75driver]
