White 9000 dump truck loaded ride from pit to home. 6-71 Detroit screaming

Taking a load of 3/4” reject home for a little project. 8 tons so I was right at 33k gross. 6-71 Detroit and a 10 speed with a worn out hi/low synchro. #antique #detroitdiesel

That engine sound brings back memories. Beautiful scenery too.

I live in Westbrook and recognized where you were immediately - great sounding truck! You put on quite a sound show for the inmates in Windham climbing up the hill, LOL. In a past life I drove coaches with Detroits, love that scream. It's quieter when its 30+ feet behind you though.

@@kevinrhodes335 hahaha very nice. That for sure is a good hill to climb. Hard to get a run for it with the rough bridge abutment right there and idiots coming down the hill taking the whole lane. The old girl made it happen though. Thanks for the comment! I remember taking school trips on the old Maine Line busses with 8v-71’s out back doing work. The bus ride was always my favorite part of the field trip.
