Straight piped GMC Brigadier Cold Start Exterior and a quick trip!

1985 GMC BRIGADIER with a Detroit Diesel Silver 6v92TA and straight pipes. Just out making sure the neighbors aren't napping.

The sound of these engines is music to my ears. It reminds me of garbage day as a kid since the trucks that the trash company used were 1970s GMC 9500s with 671 Detroits & a 1980s GMC Brigadier with a 6V92 Detroit Diesel. I have loved the uniqur sound of these engines since they growl with power & authority. If I had a tractor trailer or big diesel truck of some sort, it would definitely have a 6V92 Detroit Diesel. Nice truck, by the way!

[@dwightcorbett8889]

the neighbors probably love the sound; whether they admit or not. I know I sure do

[@KDill29]

"omg, Earl!? Earl! what's that noise?" "huh" it's that damn neighbor of ours.....lollllll love it

[@nmontgomery2015]

Good to see the old Brigadier again! Would you happen to know anywhere that sells the windshield rubber seals and/or the glass for one of these?

[@MotormasterK100]

Hi Nathan! Unfortunately, I do not know anyone that does the glass or seals. Luckily, mine were in pretty good shape. If I do come across anyone, I will let you know. Thanks!

[@piffsterr2]

Nathan Montgomery hey Nathan, I'm not 100% on this, but try LMC Truck. they might have what you're looking for

[@nmontgomery2015]

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

[@bnkwupt]

Got any recent videos of this beautiful Brigadier?

[@mbrymckinney1]

It's great to see that there are people out there that care enough too keep these good ole' trucks going. It would be great if you did a walk around video if you already haven't.

[@MotormasterK100]

There are a couple of videos out there that have more of the exterior. When I can, I will do a full walk around though. Thanks for the interest!

[@Rwalt61]

I wish you would have taken an engine shot or two. This brings back a lot of memories of when I went to tech school. We had a Detroit 6v92ta that we played with. Sweet sound.

[@MotormasterK100]

Thanks! I will try to remember to get a video of opening the hood up and showing that freshly painted Silver 92!

[@C5Z06CarGuy]

I want one of these trucks so bad.

[@sheppardpat47]

Ahhhhh i really love this 2-stroke sounds! I love your truck so much! And also your air horns is not original? Keep on truckin' ;)

[@MotormasterK100]

sheppardpat47 no, those are new replacement Hadley air horns. the truck came with a single twin bell bully horn. I've just always liked the sound of the hadleys.

[@sheppardpat47]

MotormasterK100 Ah yes :) Very nice

[@DLSWV]

[@TheMackie66]

[@1979peterbilt]

[@bartenderedge7450]

Now That is a Lovely Big Truck Wooooo YES it's True That Really True

[@lemoncoke6173]

I love this truck. I love the sound of a 6 cylinder Detroit. If you ever come down to Alabama you've got to give me a ride in that thing. 😍

[@buildmor]

How about a walk around and a couple of drive-bys?

[@224chingon]

Like music to my ears i love the sound of your detroit truck. I want one like that.

[@matthewanderson7766]

Ear porn just love the sound of a Detroit

[@buildmor]

👂🏻🎶👍😄

[@caterpillarslim1288]

Great sounding machine

[@MotormasterK100]

Thank you! I just took it out this week to do some work and passed by a construction site. All grins and waves as the 6" exhaust bellowed by!

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

6inch?

[@MotormasterK100]

WARD5KUSTOMZ yep. dual 6" straights

[@EmergencyGuy]

Not much of a cold start.

[@MotormasterK100]

Indeed. It was more of a "First start in 48 hours" kind of day. Had to build a little air before leaving.

[@EmergencyGuy]

Have you ever heard that my dad used to own 2 GMC Brigadier tractors? It’s true. And if you rev a cold engine, you’re risking shortening the engine’s lifespan. My dad’s GMC Brigadier tractors were a white GMC Brigadier with the very engine yours has, and a blue GMC Brigadier with a Cummins. My dad never straight piped either truck, but in later years with his 1990 Mack CH tractor and his 1997 Volvo tractor, he put straight pipes on them with a blower top.

[@BeamerTheFox]

YEA THATS WHAT IDE DO, START IT COLD AN SCREAM IT lol they love that, makes um last for 500k more xD

[@MotormasterK100]

Baylan Maverick Legacy yep! Detroits are happiest when they are up against the governor!

[@BeamerTheFox]

not when there fresh cold brother o.o even with light weight oil its never good to cold scream anything, ive worked on detroits my whole life an seen some nasty cylinder scoring from that. love the rig tho its killer gorgeous

[@AllianceB95]

Can you explain to me (since im used to them modern 'clean diesels' which break rather easy) How can a Detroit engine be this durable ? They are happy in the high revs... They work best in the high revs.... They basicly tend to last forever.... What makes them Detroits so extremely great and durable ? (i tried driving a Euro 6 Paccar MX 13 at nonstop high revs.... I blew the engine in a day.....) I mean hearing a 6V92 is much more Eargasmic than any sportscar... The Lamborghini Diablo tends to try to sound alike a little. Id be happy for an answer to a question that's burning my mind for a while now.

[@noreason2701]

DieselHeart BR218 it literally comes down to the metal parts of the engine being way thicker than they need to be

[@AllianceB95]

10-4 :) Many thanks. That does explain why them Detroits seem to last forever. Quite litteraly a nice 'extra mile' of General Motors.
