42 years ago, I drove for a company that had 430 Detroit’s in 4300 Transtars with 10 speed Roadrangers, 4.11 rears; a little bit of heaven rolling down the interstate. Thanks for the memories. You know how to drive a Detroit instead of abusing it!
nice pic of when the camera is on the pavement and you're coming into the corner, turning up towards the camera. You'd never think that was a 75 Kwopper. Right mint truck.
Mid 5's with what I do. But to be fair, I never done a full tank of fuel while loaded. As for the top speed? On the flat @1900rpm's about 75-80. But I do keep it around the speed limit because it will drink fuel if I push it. I had seen a v71 get 3.7mpg back in the late 80's. I hope to never beat that. LOL
I asked the same question and he responded with 5.6 mpg for the year. For what he has pulling a reefer that is not bad at all. A modern W900 with a Cummins X15 does about the same.

Makes me want to jump into a time machine and go back 50 years. Thanks for that sonic treat!
This is THE engine that always does it for me. Hey, I sleep with this playing❤
MISS THAT SWEET SOUND

Thanks!
I always thought the 8V92 was the best sounding Detroit. Ran one in a 4300 Corn Binder with a 13speed pulling log trailers.
28:20 loaded. Sounds awesome!
Nothing sounds like a Detroit that engine sound makes me smile ! Its a 2 stroke correct ?
yup, you are correct! It's a 2 stroke
Yes
Incredible sound.
Seamless & smooth
your best video, i watched too many times
I trade you a 2024 Volvo for your truck 😂🤣😅🤣😂😂😅🤣😂😂😂LOVE THE SOUND OF THE SCREAMIN 😈 😈 😈 💪💪💪
Sorry, I'll have to pass on a new truck. I wouldn't know how to work on it! 🤣
😅😂🤣
Sounds just like my father’s ‘70 Mack RS700L but he had a 8v71 with a 13 speed roadranger. Could always hear him coming from a half mile away.
Yeah man, they really do sound cool coming in from a ways out... That would have been cool to see the old bull dog!
notification.....ON!
Are you going to run that truck in the Winter salt?
I'll run it in the salt if needed, but I'm not out looking for any work right now. lol
Top speed loaded? Mpg?

15 speed ?
Yes, it's got a 15 speed in it.
