Brockway. One of the most elegant tractors ever built. Power by the legendary "Buzzin' Dozen" Detroit 12V71. This is the song I want played at my damn funeral.
I ran the mountains on both the east and west coast. You have to wind that Detroit up tight and keep it there. ....engine breaks are nice to coming down the other side.
When i was a kid, the sound of a detroit 2 stroke was common. Now, it stops me in my tracks when i hear one. I got to drive a 6v71 powered water truck at my college job. It was in a chevy c70.
I still remember the sound of the old Crackerbox Gimmy that went to the cattle feed yard twice a week. It had a 6-71N with 5&2 single axle tractor with 32 foot cattle trailer. :)
I hated riding in them as a kid. Too loud. But hearing them pull out of the driveway was nice. They just sound cool as they scream off into the distance.
Old trucker buddy of mine liked to tell about the time, back in the day, when he got sick of listening to another driver brag about his Detroit. “Not only does it pull like a mother, it don’t smoke and it don’t use a drop of oil.” the guy boasts. “Don’t smoke and don’t use oil?” asks my buddy Dave. “Nope.” “I’ll be back in a minute.” says Dave. “Where ya goin?” “To my toolbox to get a hammer and pry bar. Help you break that Detroit of yours out of its packing crate.”
I’m 16 and I’ve only heard one 2 stroke Detroit that I can remember in my life. It was a gmc brigadier and I heard it from a mile a way and recognized it.
I love it when the engine runs close to the governor. This rig purrs like a kitten and is just beautiful in its upkeep from what we can see. Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Hauled steel all over Wva, Ky and Va back in the 80’s in a GMC Brigadier. Had to keep that Detroit wound tight with the 13 speed. Loved that Jake sound. I was 21 and bulletproof back then.
Father and son on a boat nearby: " daddy what's that noise that's giving me a stiffy?" ..." don't worry m'boy it's a pair of straight pipes full of Detroit and Jacob's brake, perfectly normal reaction "
@Raymond Couchman very good point. I should have said scumbag republicans and democrats. 95% of them are rotten rat bastard politicians at all levels of government.
I remember when I was a kid riding in my dad's K123 with a 330hp 8v71 with dual exhaust and after a 2 day trip it would take 2 weeks to get the ringing out of your ears!!! You would get out of the truck and go home and you could still hear that motor screaming in your ears!! LOL!!!
Prices for 2 stroke Detroits are very low compared to the Series 60 and any Cat or Cummins 4 stroke. Not a lot of people can work on them anymore, unless they are in the marine or industrial industries where most users won't give them up
They're great, but big n heavy. This ones 1800+ lbs, gets 3.5 - 5 mpgs, has a high revving ,high peak rpm torque that falls off quickly at low rpm.perfect for marine applications, but it forces the truck driver to keep it in the upper rpms to get the power needed. No diesel engine ever sounded better than the big Detroit 2-strokes.
Had 4 of these babies on the boat I was on in the Navy. Spent many an hour listening to them. Had 2 2-71 generators. Scar😅no sound waking up to silence in the Bermuda Triangle!😂 Great sound!
Thanx for the video Willie. I was a resident of Rockland for many years and drove Route 6 a million times. I'm now in Florida, but you brought back many memories. 👍👍👍👍
Yes im here in Florida watching this but from Rockland also…. That road is referred as the goat trail ! Nothing like sweating while driving that road in a winter snow storm !
What a great video, such a beautiful looking and sounding truck! Never heard a 2 stroke Detroit in real life, but I keep coming back to these videos, just of the gorgeous sound!
The highway's all yours Jack... I'm not budging for at least an hour. Maybe the police will pull you in by then... maybe they won't... but at least you'll be far away from me.
I’ve hauled a lot of dump trailer thru there. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for screaming thru southeast NY and NYC In the middle of the night… ❤
I had a tri axle dump truck with a 6 71 and a 4x4 air shift transmission, you could hear the thing for miles. That truck damage my hearing for life. I still love to hear them pull.
I needed to haul a load on the way from the pit 60miles away from my doctor. I was first in line to get loaded and was pushing the clock to get to the doc on time. Coming in nearly out of breath, I sat down and they took my BP. She said "Well, you're BP is up quite a bit from last month". I said "I loaded 60 miles away at something past 7am and here I am almost on time at 8 am". I'm still wound up since it's a road that's squiggly turns and I'm running a 4,000 lb overload". She just shook her head. Hey, I don't get the choice. I was making money for the employer that kept me on the job. And to be technical, you need to come in and chill out for 20 minutes and then get your BP taken twice at least. I have no idea why a guy pushing a big load and trying to get the requisite 6 loads in a day would be out of breath at 69 years old. Doctors are not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer. She just shook her head. I just shook. Where I live, most curves can be seen around for a long way. So straightening out 45 mph curves with 65 mph runs can be a bit heart pounding. Having said that, I'd do it the rest of my life if the insurance companies weren't allowed to discriminate due to age. I won't say I'm fearless but I do what has to be done. When I get unloaded I'm up into the dozer/front end loader, grader to get it spread out ASAP. 600 miles+ in a day, every day. Tell me why my BP is a bit high.
BTW, it's bad enough the trucking companies have begun courting me again. I guess hauling to cities where my old felon ass would be in a bind with my H&K or in a bind with some idiot wanting to rob me is a no win situation. And they don't really pay what they want me to believe. I should be making $150,000 a year for what I do but $40,000 is more like it. The iligarch's can't stand for a working man to make a living. I've watched it go down since I sarted in 1970. And it's gone down for everyone. Sure, I'll work at the store doing the same thing I did when I was 12, sacking groceries. No, I don't think so.
Travelled that stretch of road many times years ago running stone out of Tilcon, Stony Point / Tomkin's Cove... @ 60 tons gross! White knuckle time, folks! "The Goat Trail", I believe we used to call it.
Beautiful sounds! I'm from nz down under, drove 6v71,s and 8v71,s! Miss my old gals so much! Thank you! Km bedford 6v71 and Leyland 8v71! Real trucks and real hp!
Years ago I was asked how do I get that Detroit to run so good, no other driver in the company could ! I said first thing is slam finger in door then you're mad and try to blow it up !
My uncle had an old Jimmy car hauler that he modified a little n we hauled 700 bales of straw with. They only instructions I got before driving it was to drive like I was mad at it.
Nice! We still use them motors in ferry's on Long Island to fire island etc. Nice truck. I have a photo of my great grand dad working in Brockway factory. שלום
Very similar to some of the passes we have in WNC . Beautiful sound to my ears . The only thing I don't miss about working on Detroits was the lugging a 6-71 head up the spiral staircase in a Hatteras motoryacht .
In New Zealand in the 70's a KW with a 12v71 held the pulling record on the local mountain ranges near our city. It produced 450 HP matched only by the big Cummins used in the Pacific loggers.
The only problem with these motors are when you get home and try and sleep you still hear in your ears that old Yamaha singing. My first truck I had 40 years ago had a 318 jimmy in her . My 379 Peterbilt I have now has a 700 hp C16 Cat in her 7 inch straight stacks and you can hear her to when you step on her tail LOL.
@@Pabloperes675 No joke. I like the 3 speed engine brakes but I love a Jake Brake. On/off, that's good enough. A Jake Brake will produce 135% of negative HP so it's the good engine that survive. I had a friend who'd come in in the wee hours with the Jake on. Even when he wasn't going much over 30 he'd have it on, announcing his arrival. I just laughed about it. Later in life I'd use the JB to annoy those who were my enemies, much like the 20 year thing I have going with a poison flyer with big power. After 20 years I finally turned him into the EPA. I hate the EPA but I hated his killing my fruit trees even more. I'm not a pussy, I can take a joke but when he comes over our house 50' off the ground with it nailed and the wife is sick, it ticks me off just a bit more than "a little". He's damned lucky to be alive. You can't grow a garden, you watch your fruit orchard die and your trees that slow down the poisoned dirt off the field he sprays, you sorta get an attitude.
Detroit Diesels are beautiful music to me. I was around buses a lot in the 1960s and '70s and they all had them, usually 6.71s and 6V53s. I can still hear those motors today. Lovely scenery but a lot of traffic for a rural two lane road. Beats the city life any day which I abandoned more than 30 years ago. No fun to negotiate that road when it's covered with snow and ice.
Ran that Road with countless loads of paper going to the sheetrock plant at Buchannon.... Big Green COE KW with a big red K on the door.............. Even got questioned by the MP's one day, why I was parked along "thier road", takin pictures of my truck... (Cause it was a pretty spot ??) All was iffy, till they noticed I was barefoot tooo......... Wooo Hooo, should have seen the look on thier faces......... Pricelesss !!!!
Wow, beautiful truck, beautiful scenery! My son is in the military his MOS is 88 Mike. He drives big trucks and when he gets out he wants to get a Peterbilt 389! I sent him this vid he's in Germany right now. Absolutely awesome thanks for sharing!
I learned how to bang the gears in a old cab over freightliner with a v12 Detroit what a awesome truck this video brought me back in time! Earplugs were a welcome edition to my kit bag straight pipes and highway overpasses
I loved working on those back in the day put larger injectors in them and bigger turbos and you really have the biggest dog on the road and love the sound of them
Holy shit. Camp Smith to the bridge what a ride , I grew up in Yorktown. And that was my old hand out 40 years ago. I remember every turn up the bear you drove that like a bat out of hell. I had to stop on the bridge and add a comment that was a wild ride. Omg. Ft Montgomery. Wow. You brought some great memories. Now I’ll finish the ride
Im from that area and thats not Bear Mtn. Thats the Goat Trail. Bear Mtn is on the Rockland side of the river. But i loved the video. Love those Detroits
Down here in WV, back in the day many Brockway coal buckets were 1693 Cats. The Detroit was more popular in the gravel trucks. In this neck of the woods anyway. Reason for that was there were several Cat service centers close by.
Nice those hi revs engine,i had one but the twin turbo 525hp the sound was softer,also had the 8V92,really liked those DD,both in a KW 900.Thanks for sharing.
My dad started driving mostly with gasser trucks, detroits are still his favorite. He still says to this day they were the best. Heard so many stories about the 318 with jakes. Ask him today detroit is his favorite
I thought till the end it was one of the really early ones with direct drive that you had to start and stop on a steep gradient !!! Rocky Mountain humming bird !!! Love it y'all .

The construction yard across the street has an Autocar wrecker with an 8V71. That thing screams up the road and sounds awesome
The same. I was 8 (1969) and it was a 225 Timberjack (3.53 I think) I still hear it like if it was yesterday , never forgot .

Thanks for proving there is more to New York driving then just "the city" Bear mtn is a great example. Salute
"That" Bear Mountain? Then this must be rt 22 or 55.

@@wayoutwille Ah, that road. Hadn't been up that far since July 1979, coming home from Piscataway, NJ.

@Raymond Couchman very good point. I should have said scumbag republicans and democrats. 95% of them are rotten rat bastard politicians at all levels of government.
Thanks for a wonderful video! From the days of iron men, wooden ships, gear jamming', Detroit 2-strokes, and 1800+ rpm cruising!
2-cycle Detroit's, impairing hearing for 60yrs.
Makin' it easier to deal with the bitchin' when you get in from that run.
What a way to lose it!

Holy shit. Camp Smith to the bridge what a ride , I grew up in Yorktown. And that was my old hand out 40 years ago. I remember every turn up the bear you drove that like a bat out of hell. I had to stop on the bridge and add a comment that was a wild ride. Omg. Ft Montgomery. Wow. You brought some great memories. Now I’ll finish the ride
Im from that area and thats not Bear Mtn. Thats the Goat Trail. Bear Mtn is on the Rockland side of the river. But i loved the video. Love those Detroits
Oh she loves it. Barkin' so nice.
For all the Detroit 2 Stroke lovers out there listen to music of our people with a little bit of Jake Brake thrown in for good measure
4 hr on dvd please just like this.
That's a nice brockway you have there and even better with a buzzin dozen Detroit v12 2 stroke
The best motor they ever made they put them in everything

The sooooouuund and that Picasso reflection on the hood art for the ears and eyes
Love that sound and love the color of that truck
Had to listen again best 7 minutes of my day.
Down here in WV, back in the day many Brockway coal buckets were 1693 Cats. The Detroit was more popular in the gravel trucks. In this neck of the woods anyway. Reason for that was there were several Cat service centers close by.
...drove 9w last time we were back there...beautiful drive...got some great stromboli somewhere on that road...can't remember exactly where though...
Think that is the same engine we had in our armoured Vehicles in Canada, the Cougar avgp ,Sings the exact same way Love it
Drive it like you're pissed off at it - the only way to run a Detroit.
Nice those hi revs engine,i had one but the twin turbo 525hp the sound was softer,also had the 8V92,really liked those DD,both in a KW 900.Thanks for sharing.
My dad started driving mostly with gasser trucks, detroits are still his favorite. He still says to this day they were the best. Heard so many stories about the 318 with jakes. Ask him today detroit is his favorite
I love the sound of the two blowers humming away. I daily drive a 4-53TIB and it sound very similar.:)
That's some serious muscle, and I like it.
I thought till the end it was one of the really early ones with direct drive that you had to start and stop on a steep gradient !!! Rocky Mountain humming bird !!! Love it y'all .
