Shifting a 6-71 part 2

1979 GMC Brigadier 6-71

[@cigarillo22]

1940s technology that refuses to quit. A true American torque beast. My favorite truck tractor engine by far. Miss these iron beasts on the road. It was great as a child in the early 80s to hear each tractor fill US interstates with beautiful noise. Detroit Diesel 2 strokers will always be a part of American history as the work horse that built this nation.

[@mastor0863]

Exelent!!!!!!

[@edwinorantes9716]

best engine sound ever created by the United States thumbs up!!

Edwin Orantes best engine sound period lol

[@KenyonPayne]

it sounds like it's doing about 200mph, but it's doing about 50

[@tommyparlier4987]

If he's lucky and got a tail wind, might make 50 up that grade.

[@andrewking4885]

That's not a bad speed for a 671 there no power house but they do alright for only a 7 litre engine.

When I was a kid, the town I lived in had a fleet of 6v92 generals. I could hear those things all the way across town. Everytime one would go down the road I would run inside and hide. And when they were filling in the swamp behind the house using OUR driveway ... my god that was bad. Now I cant get enough of the sound.

[@techmaven5900]

We had a lot of GMC Brigadiers pulling car carrier trailers when I was young..those Detroit Diesels used to scare me!! Now I love em'!! Got my CDL in a Ford 9000 powered by a Silver 8V92.

[@speedysgamezone9258]

Now that's how you shift it baby! Love that classic Detroit growl. I grew up surrounded by this sound our buses and fire trucks handle had this engine, they were quite popular in the 80's. This sound brings back a lot of good memories! BTW great video😃👏👍!

[@theq4602]

In my opinion brigadiers are some of the best looking trucks ever.

[@TerryByrdJr]

David Vermillion damn right

[@JS-1983]

I agree, those just look so good with that big hood and small cab as well as older 9500s too.

[@Creeperboy099]

That giant grille and hood just makes it look brutally buff

[@kwb200]

I agree all the 60s and 70s chevy and GMC trucks all looked damn good from the brigadier to the GMC general to the c60s

[@TourDriverSean]

man that brings me back to my child hood

[@MachinistMike]

My dad was a trucker for 35 years, he once said "A 6-71 does a real good job of converting Diesel into noise"

[@desert122]

Hey Jim hopefully you're still running this ol girl. Love to see a new video of her screaming through the Canadian roads. Love the angry growling sound this truck makes. Thanks for posting these videos sir. Keep trucking & enjoy it. May God bless you & your equipment.

[@kennyfett970]

The sounds of that gave me the chills. THAT THING SOUNDS BAD ASS!!!! love when he shifts..

[@Joseph03743]

What a nice sounding truck. They don't make 'em like that any more. I drove a GMC Astro COE in school that had a 318 in it with dual exhaust.

[@w5pda]

If you listen carefully, you can hear her saying "C'mon, give me another gear." ;-)

[@otherdog59]

Dang it,I can't stop watching/listening to this,it's my new favorite video! Takes me back to my childhood,standing alongside the road listening to trucks go by.

[@09adge13]

love these classics especially an old diesel engine and 18 wheeler cutting the gears great vid i want to see more.

[@jwxfd]

Mechanical music at its finest

[@bigchevy80]

At the farm I used to work for back in 2000-2001, there was an '84 GMC Brigadier with a 6v71 and dual straight stacks. We pulled a hopper bottom hauling corn with it. On a clear day if the wind was blowing right, you could hear that thing take off at the elevator 3 miles away. I miss that old beast...

[@maynardreed4036]

Love the sound of those Jimmy's no matter how cylinders there is. The louder the better as long I'm only listening.

[@bigabe56]

Used 2 drive one like that only was a tandem Hats off To the good old Detroits.LOVE THEM

[@toocheaptosmoke]

"I could hear you comin' a mile away!"

[@bigtex144]

Man I can hear coming from 3 years away. Insane

[@georgewilson1184]

This is what trucking is all about long live Detroit’s and GMCs & Chevrolet’s

[@zip343]

I listened to one of these every work day for five years back in the late 70's, early 80's...9500 series gmc short nose twin screw....brings back memories...

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Awesome! One of the best Detroit Diesel vids on youtube, very clear crisp sound. The Detroit sounds divine. Screamin Detroit power!

[@REWYRED]

I keep picturing that movie " Maximum Overdrive!" that thing sounds angry!! I like it!

[@manitoba-op4jx]

some of the scenes in that movie are a chorus of different detroits.

[@tonyreaper9486]

never had a truck sound like that in england. its amazing.

[@FORDKIDD]

Hell Yea!!! This is a freaking killer video right here!!! Sounds unbelieveable!!! reminds me of the movie Maxiumum Overdrive!! #1 movie! More videos please!

[@charles8010]

Detroit Diesel = Best music ever!!!!!

[@MossRods]

screw the radio thats the only music ill need while driving!

[@rusttrail3]

That Detroit sounds gooooooood !

[@dairyman44404455]

drive it like ya stole it.....awesome video. gotta 6-71 in a C-90 we bought last fall. gotta love the sound!

[@JoeHupp]

Bloody better than some 4 stroke engines, ie Cummins - but you do have to look after them a bit more! Running the correct lubricating oil is VERY important! They can gunk up with sludge, which is 90% carbon! They have to be de-coked regularly by hauling a heavy load for a few hours - this avoids the sludgig up of everything, which results in a very costly rebuild!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I drove an IH Paystar 8 1/2 yd MTM mixer with a 6-71a and a 9-speed OD Roadranger a LOT and my ears still ring but I always grin when I hear any bus motor. Thanks!

[@SH00T_TH3PUMP]

Man, the older generation of truckers must have had so much fun driving these things!

Argument on what it is/was aside, dang, that sounds GOOD! 2 cycle Detroits are sweet sounding, disappearing, but sweet sounding.

Like Harleys had their sounds , so did Detroit's.

[@richardmaurer9002]

The difference being, the noise produced by a Detroit means cash in one’s pocket at the end of the day.

loud engines and pipes saves lifes !!!

Bad ass!!!

Ahh, the sweet sounds of a Jimmy two-storke

OMG i thought i went back in history of 1981-1985 here at home when we had a strip mine 2 miles out the road . LOL some of the coal buckets that hauled out of here . you could hear them from the mine clear out past the house

[@the_burchfield1655]

i wish they still made engines sound that fucking good

[@nachos1990]

Well its a two stroke motor so all the power is in the top end not like the 4 strokes where all the torque is between 1200 and 2000 depending on the engine

[@bj99ful]

the haunting sound of this truck sends a chill up my spine but I love it!

[@swt32567]

DETROIT POWER FOREVER!!!

[@AndreiTupolev]

EMD locos still do, albeit with wussy silencers and things now. And a lot of marine diesels are 2-strokes too.

[@garymahony2844]

Omg .. absolutely love it .. 💪❤️

[@kleetus92]

loud pipes save lives!

[@AndreiTupolev]

if you were following it, you'd want to keep overtaking just so you could hear it go past you again and again. but that would probably irritate the driver. :-/

[@TheDale1962]

Gotta love those things LOL

[@Jthumper]

true, they are rather gutless as a tuned dodge pickup with the 5.9 in it can doubble the power of a 6-71 but nothing sounds like a detroit as my fav is the dirty dozen 12v71tt

Why do we never see 5.9 Cummins in a class 8 truck
