Honestly I’ve seen some of your videos before getting an m2 106 freightliner w. Cummins 6.7 ISB…I love the way it sounds, drives and almost everything lol. I didn’t realize others felt that way about it too. Didn’t even know you had a video for it. Great truck and love the angle view!
My grandpa let me drive his 5.9 third gen. And it sounded amazing. His Ram is 100% stock. Also my bus driver used to drive a C2 with the same engine. I love the sound.
crazyjdkid that’s what I meant engine break the HINOS have them they are nice and loud and you can manual have the engine break on or off but the p.o.s. International doesn’t have anything at all
All that is optional. Both this truck and the Internationals on my channel could come with an engine break but when they were ordered from the factory they did not ask for that option. But they can have them, just have to order it when building them.
I’ve been looking for a channel like this for a substantial amount of time , now I’ve found one ! One thing I like about your video is that you aren’t afraid of that pedal !
Well I have tons of different trucks on my channel with inside and outside views of the same driving style so enjoy! Safety is number 1 though! I have never had an accident or a traffic ticket. This truck was a bit different from the rest because its was order with a higher horsepower option. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I try to get the most out of the truck while I have it. My channel is full of videos just like this with other trucks, you should check them out!
Neither! That is called compressor surge, caused by having too much boost! The wastegate on the turbo should have prevented it from getting too much boost like that but it didn't.
Yeah you really have to know your surroundings and the fact that the box is wider than the truck. People that have never driven them don't ever think about things like tail swing, turn radius etc. I give whoever was driving that Penske credit for driving through ATL (and suffering through one of Penskes Internationals). But they should have took the time to really know the dimensions of the truck, they were really worried about that wall/bridge.
Same here. So much more power and mpg when compared to the MFDT. This truck is a high power output spec so its a little apples to oranges to the other trucks I have driven. I got 6.6mpg with the MFDT
crazyjdkid that’s good mileage for a truck that size! I’ve done a bit of searching and am now looking for a truck with a Cummins in it, do you think buying one with 200k miles is too many?
@@drewmurphy2796 The Cummins 6.7L has a B50 life of 350k. B50 life is the point before 50 percent of all engines in operation will require major repair(s), overhaul, or replacement. It kind of depends on the application the truck was used in. The truck/chassis life expectancy is probably in the 500-700k range. Milage on a truck this large is not like a small car or SUV, 100k is nothing. As you can see in this video this truck had 100k on it and still looks and operates as new.
Yes! This truck has an EGR as well as a Selective Catalyst Reduction System (SCR),a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) as well as a diesel oxidation catalyst . It burns very clean and produces no smell or smoke. And in some cases pollutes less than a sedan or pickup! Thanks for watching!
I know you like your new Freighliner coming from an IH but have you seen or know anybody that has an IH with a Cummins and know if they're as quiet? thx
Well when you compare it to the MaxxForce DT, the Cummins will be quieter no matter what truck its put in! Its a much more refined and smoother operating engine. The DT was from the '80s, when not much care was given to refine it. I have heard from the IC Bus people, which use the International Chassis, that the bus is much quieter inside and out. So I would imagine much is the same for the newer IH trucks. I will try to get a IH with a Cummins the next time the channel can afford it! Thanks!
Ive driven an 07 m2 106 with the mercedez diesel and now drive a 18 m2 106 with the cummins.. i have to say the mercedez engine was stronger and picked up quicker off the line and up hills when loaded
I noticed you said dual fuel tanks, our new truck is coming with these, are they linked together somehow? We fill up on one side due to the way we enter the parking area and was wondering if the tanks will equalize or if I have to fill them independently.
They equalize! There is a line that runs between the two tanks. I believe there is a shutoff valve as well, but I am not 100% on that. The pump will often pump then they can equalize if the tanks are really empty. But you shouldn't have any problems filling up on the one side. Once the nozzle auto shuts off, you still have tons of room left in the tanks. Thanks for watching!
Awesome, thanks for the answer. I plan on filling the right side up as that's where our tank is situated, and then if I want to add more the next day as the tanks equalize after a period of time (im sure it will take quite a while to do so) I can. Saves me from buying a longer hose!
I have driven lot of the rental trucks and I have to fill them up each one a far a my experience goes you cannot fill one side and it will fill both Tanks you have to fill each tank separately
But the tanks have a cross over line so the trucks fuel system is drawing fuel from both tanks at the same time so you have to fill both tanks if you don't then one tanks will run out and the system will start sucking air then the Truck can start choking out or shut Down
This truck sounds much better inside of it. You hear crazy loud turbo noises that the camera really doesn't pick up. I enjoy the sound of the DT, but inside the Internationals it is very hard to hold a conversation without having to yell at the other person so they can hear. As the DT probably has one of the loudest clanks to it!
I did a whole review on this truck here- ruclips.net/video/2nq5CUdM2Es/видео.html There are a ton of other ones on my channel as well. This truck is powered by a 240hp Cummins 6.7L ISB and is mated to an Allison 2500 Highway Series, the truck is a 2015 model. Thanks for watching!
I used a GoPro Hero 4 Black and a GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp. It was clamped to the lower mirror bracket. All my videos except the 2012 International where filmed using this combo. Thanks for watching!

Really like the exhaust brakes, especially the hot exhaust/regen light. Beast sounds
The exhaust brake noises are crazy on these when we come down steep dirt roads in the mountains of West Virginia
My grandpa let me drive his 5.9 third gen. And it sounded amazing. His Ram is 100% stock. Also my bus driver used to drive a C2 with the same engine. I love the sound.
The FS65 has the 5.9 Cummins. The C2 only has the 6.7
I love how that 6.7 sounds! the idle is so mean! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
11:50/2:14
Love that whine the ISB makes.
Yeah the turbo sounds really good on the ISB!
Makes me wish the 6.7 Cummins in the Ram trucks sounded like that, haha
That are practically identical. Although this one has a simpler turbo I believe!
crazyjdkid They did actually sound similar, just a bit of a different turbo sound.
@@zacharybishop6595 it a B6.7L now the ISB is discontinued
I love that cummins idle. It just has a brutish sound about it.
It does sound very stout, pulled like a freight train as well! Thanks for watching!
Can you do a startup
I love that Jake break I wish it was a bit louder like the HINOS
This truck doesn't have a jake brake or an engine brake! That's why it is so quiet!
crazyjdkid that’s what I meant engine break the HINOS have them they are nice and loud and you can manual have the engine break on or off but the p.o.s. International doesn’t have anything at all

It’s an exhaust break
@@ishdhillon4145 actually it is an exhaust brake...

Turbo diésel nice my dad has a company box truck hes working loading are box truck 26ft
This thing got power
Yes it does! This truck has 240hp engine option, which is much more powerful than the base 200hp.
I really like how you throw the hammer down in these things
Thanks! I try to get the most out of the truck while I have it. My channel is full of videos just like this with other trucks, you should check them out!
On the freightliner m2 106
Lol I just noticed the scenery this video was in Norcross GA not far from my home
Yep, that is exactly where this was filmed!
The title should be watch me drive to the gas station.
At 2:15 is that a jake brake or wastegate on the turbo?
Neither! That is called compressor surge, caused by having too much boost! The wastegate on the turbo should have prevented it from getting too much boost like that but it didn't.
That’s what I thought I thought I heard turbo flutter
good video. Some people don't realize you have to learn to watch your mirrors more on a big truck like that.
Yeah you really have to know your surroundings and the fact that the box is wider than the truck. People that have never driven them don't ever think about things like tail swing, turn radius etc. I give whoever was driving that Penske credit for driving through ATL (and suffering through one of Penskes Internationals). But they should have took the time to really know the dimensions of the truck, they were really worried about that wall/bridge.
Why?
Does this require a CDL to drive?
No.
Sweet. I may want a Freightliner box truck eventually, mainly the FL series.
Nice. I've been impressed with the 6.7 Cummins in the Freightliner's I've rented. I averaged 10mpg as well.
Same here. So much more power and mpg when compared to the MFDT. This truck is a high power output spec so its a little apples to oranges to the other trucks I have driven. I got 6.6mpg with the MFDT
@@crazyjdkid Maxxforce DT is kinda weak.
What kinda fuel mileage did the Cummins get)
About 9 mpg loaded and 11 mpg unloaded. Mix of city and highway.
crazyjdkid that’s good mileage for a truck that size! I’ve done a bit of searching and am now looking for a truck with a Cummins in it, do you think buying one with 200k miles is too many?

:-) keep up the good work...you're of the very few who document the differences
Ive driven an 07 m2 106 with the mercedez diesel and now drive a 18 m2 106 with the cummins.. i have to say the mercedez engine was stronger and picked up quicker off the line and up hills when loaded
Yeah, a lot of emissions diesels aren't as peppy as there non emissions counterparts. They most likely didn't have the same output power either.
@@crazyjdkid yup pre- DEF
I Really like the echaust brake feature on the 2018 tho
Think you can shoot a video of that M2 with the Mercedes?
How long did it take you to get used to driving this big of a truck?

No problem! Whatever you do, do not fill the Diesel tank with DEF. That is a $13,000 fix! The M2 is the best medium duty truck I have driven!

Sounds nice but I miss the classic Clatter of older Diesel engines especially DTs

What kind of engine is this?? What kind of transmission? And what year is it??

What equipment do you have to record with and what stand did you use to put the cam out side the window
I used a GoPro Hero 4 Black and a GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp. It was clamped to the lower mirror bracket. All my videos except the 2012 International where filmed using this combo. Thanks for watching!
