    My first fire engine ever to learn on was a 90 pierce dash. Same motor you could be on scene in our other engine. Saying where's our 2nd in, then hear it screaming down the street lol like it's coming boys. Man best sounding diesel ever!! That sound brought back alot of good memories

    Really cool truck. It is something with starting up an old truck that has been left to rotting away and let it drive again. Almost that you could see that the truck couldn’t believe it was true. 😅 Nice work.

    The beautiful music of the Screamin’ Detroit, which I call the ol’ stroker, is music that takes me straight back to my boyhood days in the late ‘90s when my dad owned a white in color GMC Brigadier with a V6 Detroit. The last Screamin’ Detroit powered truck my dad owned was probably from the ‘80s, and that was an International Harvester TranStar cabover that Mike Young, my dad’s driver at the time, rolled over onto the guard rail. The rig was subsequently sold and given a new lease on life as a wrecker.

      I get that the new one isnt good, but let him learn ... Nobody is a master at something without doing it and Ryan filmed for years and i guess his first videos wasnt greatly filmed either so u should give the new one a break and atleast let him learn before u bash him..

    I love detroits but theres nothing special about an 8v92TA. Now, if you would have said 12v71, thats the rare, special motor to look for. 475-550hp back in the day. Keep an eye out for one of those because whatever truck its in, will be "special" somehow on the build sheet. Only the biggest of the big dogs got the motor back in the day
