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.
We love these in the Netherlands, most if not all US trucks are for show only, as the mileage of US trucks are really low and we can't make any profit. My father drive a FTF 8V92 TA for Mammoet late '70s.
My Pops was a lifelong trucker up here in Canada. I remember him calling the 12v71 Jimmys "Honda's" because of how high they revved. Well tonite I finally understood exactly what he meant!! Just WOW !!!🤪🤪
My hat is off to the young persons who helped this old twin stick dude from before World War two spend time remembering. Not a scratched gear, simply wonderful work. Thank you.
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.
@@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.
Gives this old fart goose bumps. Lots of miles on a 12V, nothing any better. Gotta Love it, thank you. Pull 156000 on Michigan Trains all day long with ease. Damn, SOOOO COOLLLLL 😃
I love seeing these old American trucks being driven around Europe! Greetings from California, where we can't even run these engines anymore without immediately getting multiple fines for noise and emissions violations. Glad you guys in Europe and Australia are keeping these pieces of history alive, the 71 series is probably one of the most important engines ever made in its overall impact
@@bigbubba2680 yea the detroits were ahead of their time, and in general america was quicker and bigger to the truck scene, but during the late 70s through the 90s the euro stuff is pretty neat
@@Meatsquatch69420 the Euro and Aussie rigs have their own style but an old Kenworth like that one is a special rig. V12, canary yellow, flat top, etc.
Man this is cool. I love the traditional Dutch truck styling and wish we had them here in the US, especially those Scanias. But there's just something that makes the littly kid in me so happy to see a Kenworth with a Detroit rolling down the road there.
Its a surreal thing for me to see cause i KNOW we love the scania v8 in the states but i never think about there bein DDs rollin thru anywhere across to the east. Someone needs to spot me a cabover out there 😅
Being a 3rd generation trucker its sad to see the old ways disappearing. Another 50 years and the sweet sound of diesel engines and jake brakes will be a thing of the past. Politicians and the majority of people hate us truckers along with diesel engines and big trucks but they forget everything they buy literally everything from the gas in their cars to the groceries in their refrigerator was brought by a truck and a truck driver.
Well said. I have CDL-A myself, but I don't drive truck anymore. Used to drive dump truck and quad lead for my uncle once in awhile. Good old days for sure. The Lord is coming back soon, so be ready.
awesome the old 71 from way back european roads looks like a minefield to drive on however interesting countryside if you got time to see nice to see an old banger still having a go one never forgets a Detroit
It sounds great but I wouldn’t like to think I was listening to it all day, saying that I past my HGV class 1 here in the UK in 1985 and one of the first trucks I drove was a Bedford TM with a Detroit engine in it and yeah it screamed.
@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.
@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.
Sounds good pulls good but looks like the overhead needs running on the right side. You got a lot more smoke out the right side until it warmed up, usually caused by an injector timed a little off.
@@struedel25 Yes I sometimes forget exact terms on the old gals. I just remember dreading those dang flat blade machine screws to set the injectors to the rack. I never understood why they didn't update the screws after all those years.
Living in the U.S. we hear a lot of loud trucks like the 1 in the video but seeing this truck on a quiet highway in Europe must be a rare sight for some.
Luv this video!! That engine sounds like a favorite song. Add the jake and a great camera view. Nice work!! Those wind generators look like a total waste of money sitting idle.
@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
That's a real dick swinging truck you have there. Loved hearing you run through the gears as you entered the highway. I haven't heard Detroits on the road since the 80's. Thank you for posting this video.
I only got to drive a cab over Freight liner v12 with 13 speed fuller trans about 3 times hauling a trailer train 2o footers grossing 123,000 and it just played with it. But the sound wow.
We have in Verona a 1980 Bedford Tm truck series with a Detroit diesel engine 6v 71 with a 10 speed Eaton. Along the years we own all the trucks model because of our job ,but the sound of that engine is absolutely unique and incoparable to the nowdays truck that sounds like an Electric car.. what a sadness. Now and then we start it up and Remember the great days of the past..with lot of pollution but with old glory trucks on the road😂
I'm more impressed he has one of these in the Netherlands... I will be honest though, one thing I appreciated when I was in europe is that the modern trucks make almost zero noise. It's like having a modern 6-cylinder mercedes diesel drive by, in a GLS class vehicle. I cannot imagine how annoying it would be to live along the road and have such a noise going by all the time.

whats the purpose of the scales anyway and why would u wanna avoid them
Wow, I would have not believed it if I hadn't seen it. A W900 in Europe!!! With a 12v!!! I figured this would almost be impossible.
Why not...if they made a movie about an American Werewolf In London then why can't there be this...lol...blew me away too

If trucking is still good over there then maybe I should import a old truck over there and start fresh!

Hell Yea Brother . High revving, straight piping. jake braking American muscle. Pissing off the general public everywhere .
👍
I don’t think this is in the states though
They don't rev any higher than other engines, they are 2 strokes and just sound like it
Sim, pra balançar as estruturas dos tímpanos dos tímidos e emasculados europeus!! Muito bom!!
A Cleeter Peter beater has entered the chat. It’s Erving to about 2000RPM. So take a L. !!
Best sounding 12 piece orchestra ever!
Gorgeous rig, and my hats off to ya’ll across the pond, those are some tight roads!
Scania rules 🙏🙏!
Keep in mind how old this truck is. There wasn't a European truck that had this kind of horsepower when this tractor was new.

I'm more partial to the 8v92 sound, but I'd put the 12v71 as my second favorite for sure!
id say the cat c15 sounds way better
Apparently you've never heard a 1693
How a rig like that ended up over there must be an interesting tale.
Kenworths are sold in europe, it was probably just made there
An interesting story should have been how I saw a Peterbilt 379 in Slovenia. 😉

Great video, and view angle!🥂
awesome the old 71 from way back european roads looks like a minefield to drive on however interesting countryside if you got time to see nice to see an old banger still having a go one never forgets a Detroit
Thank you for spreading the screams of the Detroit across Europe.
Amazing and beautiful Jake break sound.
Sounds great, interior shot with shifting and all would be cool to watch
I’m going to try next time.
It sounds great but I wouldn’t like to think I was listening to it all day, saying that I past my HGV class 1 here in the UK in 1985 and one of the first trucks I drove was a Bedford TM with a Detroit engine in it and yeah it screamed.
Awesome combination of engine and piping. It's what dreams are made of. Nice!
Será ruido molesto para cualquiera....pero para mi es una sinfonía de pistones...qué belleza de camion!!!!
It's marvelous. I love this song!!
what a noise that thing makes. love it. nice rig
Reminds me of my 71 series days with some International 4270's. 351 ponies and a 13 speed Roadranger.
ride on ride on music to my ears love those pipes and Jake's keep on trucking brothsr😊
Beautiful rig and incredible sound. Was that imported from the states? I didn't think those rigs were sold in Europe.
You would be correct on that.

At first glance i thought: hmm, did'nt they had more space in the US of A? When I saw the first Peugeot, I knew what was diffrent :). Nice rig!

steals the show :D
I had this turned up so loud !!!!!!......better than V8 with glasspacks
Some smooth gear floatin' right there!! Neighborhood's are gonna have to get some sleep later though!!
Like number 999..almost there 😊
Great in sounds
I love those Detroit 2 strokes
are you.... are you driving a Detroit v12 in europe??....... im so confused yet impressed.....
The Signs at the shoulders are looking like in the netherlands.
Let them Volvo’s and Scana’s know…big Jimmie’s in town
Wouldn’t mind seeing more of this one👍
Love the way he rolled straight throught the Stop sign at 1:20
heerlijk de sound van de Detroit diesel ❤
Me encanta el sonido que emite ese detroit v12 es puro poder💪💪
Sounds like the denning coach thats why we always wanted to sit at the back
That ole' son of a buck was walkin' the dog and soundin' bad ass
I bet the people in that town love those jakes
Symphony, literally ❤
That’s some crazy highway traffic control markings and small lanes! The Jimmy gets their attention, that’s for sure!
