Truck was sitting since 1994 pulled the rack unstuck the injectors. Had one leaking fuel line to the right head pulled the thermostat house out got all the rust chunks out and cleaned the thermostats. The axles are wedge brakes they where all cut off to get it out the yard so I was able to get 5 out of 6 working. After that did a oil filter change and drove it home.
My Dad drove one of these for Texaco in Phoenix in the late 60s and 70s. He retired after 35 years of service. When he retired he was 100,000 miles away from a 2 million mile safety award. He passed away in 2017 at 82.
That is proof it's a small world, I drove for Shell Oil out of the Buckeye facility, turning into the tank farm would be Texaco on my left and I would see the 9500 long hood all decked out with all the shine a trucker could want, wasn't many of these Jimmy's around, we had linova cab long hood Macks then in 1976, they got all new Peterbilt 359 Tankers, they did keep the old 1971 needle nosed Kenworth and the cabover K-100 single axle with the stainless tandem pup trailers, so sorry your dad is gone, I know he was a good man, all of us at the enormous tank farm were hard working good family folks.
@@louannwatt4447 Not familiar with the names, we didn't get to interact much as there were several oil companies in the tank farm, we all used to stop in at a old diner to get coffee, I worked the 6:00PM to 4:00AM shift at shell, I remember seeing a 5'6" tall dark haired fellow and a blonde female driver filling at the racks, they were two facilities away from shell. We had 5 Peterbilt 359 double tankers a needle nosed Kenworth, a cabover Kenworth pulling a set of pups. Texaco had a couple long hood GMC 9500's and a few Peterbilt 359's at the time.
Met a guy that had one and shoehorned a V-12 double turbo in one. Ran a truck shop and he said thet was his toy. 2 sets of 6V-71 manifolds and a turbo hung on eash one. I SAW it and it was SWEET running, straight pipes from the turbos back. When he folded the hood up I about fell over. I'd run the 12-v's in R-35 rock trucks and TS-24 pans. There was one in SC that shoehorned one in a 'B' model Mack. Had a sand plant there. FAST truck!
daaaaaymn i love the sound of them ole Detroits listening to that sweet music made me fall asleeep i retired from trucking in 2019 28 yrs over the road and 40 as a mechanic and driver combined never get tired of that Detroit music
I worked for a guy who had one of these for a move truck hauling all his heavy equipment everywhere. It was one of the coolest trucks ever !! I can still here that 8 71 to this very day !!👍👍👍
I do love old Detroit's. In South Africa about the only things that ran them were Gallion graders, stationary generators, and I think the old garbage trucks, but I remember the noise the generators made at full load. Lovely!!
There were some trucks with em... Saw a bunch of old diamond reo trucks with 6-71s just outside of bloem. Though everything that wasn't sold has been scraped on that property about 6 months ago. I've only been around a 3-71 and 3-53T detroit in a old galion grader and a terex crane... I bet hearing the larger DDs is a real treat if those little 3 bangers already sound awesome.
For a truck that's been sitting all these years. It seems like it did a good job on your way home. I remember those old Detroits, a lot of noise, but fun to drive.
This sound brings back pleasant memories for me as I grew up next door to a GMC truck dealership and used to hear the sound of glorious 2 strokes almost every day.
Not your 1st rodeo............nor your 1st Detroit , but you took it to the top of the world on that mountain highway.....that turned into a goat path . Engine ran flawlessly at all RPM levels through the 20 MPH turns . Brought back lots of memories for me as I had a '73 MH 9500 that also sat unloved for 10 years or so. Ran mine about 7-8 years just as a show truck .
Nope first one haha, she had about 6 stuck injectors but my slide hammer vicegrips and some free all made short work of them. Thanks for the comment and view.
114BBC. My grandfather sold these new. Still have one. Hauls corn in the fall. Fresh overhaul and paint. A rare breed and makes beautiful music. Thx for posting. Good luck
Nothing like an old 2 stroke Detroit, I used to work for a shop and someone brought in a 1980 Gmc Astro cabover (not the van) with an 8 71 that he twincharged. Right off the blower either he or a previous owner installed a big single turbo and I for one was surprised how much of a difference that made in the truck's tone. Sounded like it was ready to blow up but it still sounded like an absolute monster if it continued to hold together
I bought a '74 White-Freightliner 8664 COE in '76 that had a 350 Detroit, which was a 318 with a turbo. Got between 4 and 5 mpg. Spring ride, like most of them were back then. Most truckers had bad backs because of the ride; it would loosen your fillings!
Nice result. Thank you. I was born in a NZ country town and back around 1970, the most powerful and impressive truck in town was a Bedford KM artic tractor with an 8V71 and Jake brake. Years back a logging contractor here in NZ ordered a Kenworth with a 12V71. The factory manager protested because he reckoned that it would be a dangerous hot rod (or words to that effect). The contractor sent back ‘just build it’. His delivery times to the port of Tauranga improved dramatically (an extra run per day, if I recall correctly) and the truck was nicknamed ‘Concorde’. It has been restored and is now basically a show truck. Story covered in NZ tv series Low Gear, accessible via their website.
Any time I here that Detroit sound I immediately wanna see what it’s pulling or pushing. Will never forget the Sutphen fire trucks from the 80s my dad drove. I used to love starting those and hearing that 8V-92
i used to to haul chicken feed w/238 10 spd truck . curvy/hilly back roads , overloaded , underpowered , no ac , gear jamming all day . was very glad when i slammed the door for the last time . many years later though i've got to admit , i'd like to make 'er scream and slam 'em one more time .
Bill Smith you must be in NC if you were hauling chicken feed on "hilly" back roads. Did the same in Delaware and Maryland but the tallest hill is about 4 feet above sea level. You hit the nail on the head.....something about those old Detroits sure seams fun to remember doing, but it wasnt so glorious after 9 hours of that straight pipe screaming through the pass side window because it was 130 degrees in the cab.
Cool save! These trucks are growing on me! Used to think they were not cool but now I am seeing the appeal as they are a bit rare! Glad yer saving and hope to see at an ATHS show soon! Looks like Cali and I am in Bay Area and love old trucks! Hope to meet ya someday n let that Gimmy eat!
My gramps had a 1967 kw lw 924 self loader short logger , with an 8v71 man it used to scream , he had put a 18 spd in that was a cool addition, super fun old truck to drive , and those old Detroits are a love to work on ❤
Before this it was called "Golden Boy" We sold one new at Mc-Mor-Han's in Shullsburg when I worked there. (68-69) Long nose and mono leaf front springs. No one wanted to drive it because of transmission noise telegraphed up the shift stick into the cab. Because of the long cab the transmission was directly under the cab. No remote linkage was used. The gear shift lever went straight down to the transmission. Wrapping rubber bungee cables around the stick helped. The one we had was equipped with a 13 speed. Nice ride with that long frame.
When I was a kid , I remember seeing trucks with a piece of heater hose over the sticks ( lots of them were 5x4 , or 5x3 ) , asked a old mechanic on my first job why , and he told me that was to keep noise from telegraphing . For 50 years now I've been doing that, even on my light trucks
I have a good friend who has a Franklin log skidder with a Detroit Diesel in it, I forget how many cylinders and the only muffler that it has was a thing that a prior owner has crudely built that was a single chamber big flat box on the roof on top of a hole cut in the roof that would radiate heat from the exhaust down onto the operator below and the rig had no windows anywhere and I don't think that it had doors either. I even got to drive the thing a bit. Detroit diesels have their own uniqueness but they've got some one of a kind advantages. I've run across some people on RUclips who take an old Detroit and sit it on the ground with no overrun any governor until it goes into into full runaway and big chunks of metal fly around and then they restart the Detroit and it still restarts and runs multiple times with huge holes in it and pieces gone that flew off into the distance and the poor Detroit loyally restarts multiple times more while they send it into runaway again over and over until all moving parts seize. And they act as if it's funny. when I ran across videos like that I was too naive to know what they were going to do. I consider that a "snuff film" of brilliant historic technology that helped win WWII and helped build the modern world. I delight to see videos of people caring for and using machinery powered by Detroit Diesel. From back when America still focused on hard work and building things.
Man what a truck you got there! And WOW! Just WOW!! That Detroit music is just awesome! Can't get enough of that amazing 2 stroke Detroit sound! GO DETROIT!!! Bring them back!! What transmission are you running, Fuller 10 speed? What are your plans for the truck? Are you planning to get any more trucks in the future, like a fire truck or two? If so, please do a video exactly like this on your next truck purchase! But, in the meantime, please do more ride along videos on this awesome GMC, that Detroit sound will never get old, I just absolutely love it!!
Love that old truck. My uncle had 2 ih transtars back in the day with 8v92s. Not the most efficient, but definitely the best. I own a 60 series detroit, still great engine pre egr.
Jason, my 2 cents as a 45 year owner/operator: NEVER let that 60 Series get away. The EPA is ruining the diesel engine with troublesome and life-shortening emissions. My newest truck is a '99 with a C-12 Cat 435. I refuse to play their game.
A couple of cans of ether and she's good to go. Everybody made fun of them but I loved them. I had a chance to work on a 24V - 71 in a brand-new yatch, what a beast it was.
I own one of these now, inherited it, grandpa used it as a vacuum truck for hauling salt water in the oil field. Hasn't ran in a few years bc he got water in the tanks but its due for some tlc and being brought back among the living
Most old Detroits have enough lope at idle that you can get it in gear at a stop. After that if you still need a clutch then get your ass out of the seat and let someone who knows how to drive take over.
@@jsd795 my clutchless memory does not involve a Detroit . But maybe interesting. When I was 16 my sister graduated from university and had to move from a house in one city to a different city for her first job . I took my fathers old IHC grain truck to move her . We loaded and when we went to leave the clutch pedal hit the floor ( turned out the fingers broke ) . The starter didn't have the torque to start in gear but if running and held against the low gear gate if I flipped the 2 speed it would slip in . My sister timed the lights so we didn't have to stop and once we got on the highway always took our pee breaks on a downhill slope . Got her into new city and parked , unloaded , and then after it was empty there was just a bit of a grade so I had a rolling start to get back to the farm . I guess I had a bit of practice, the pickup I got when I was 12 had a seized clutch and I drove it all summer till I had the money to repair
I'm incredibly jealous! I would love to own one of them 9500 trucks. I highly doubt I can get one though, they were never sold in Mexico. But watching this video made my day, I hope it serves you well till the end of times man. Cheers.
Then: Engineers built engines that will outlast the life of the driver and survive a nuclear blast. Now: Engineers build engines that break a day after the warranty expires.
Those hydraulic clutches are such a PITA in these GMC’s, if you have a part no. For a rebuild kit and could include it I’d be very appreciative, we’ve got a 72 7500 tandem with a 6v53 and 5x3 that’s parked because of a bypassing clutch master.
@@MrTruckerf they came out in 1974 my 1975 freightliner 2 axle cabover had one I put 750k miles on it hauling cattle then traded it in a 2 axle 1978 2 axle Pete with a KT 600 cumins I'm in my 60s and I know what I had reason I went to a cummins from the Detroit was the oil dripping I hated the mess
@@MrTruckerf you know what your right I looked at the old papers I still have it was a 8v71 I went with the 8v because the guys I subhauled had v12 and I didn't like them there shop was always working on them my dad hauled hay with th 318 I went to cummins in 78 because the oil leaks and the v12s kept leaving me behind I didn't buy the 8v92 until 85 but I loved the sound but didn't like is so I tried a cat wasn't impressed so went back tho the cummins I subbed for Walmart so got rid of my trucks and started driving for Walmart 22 years later broke my back got screwed by Walmart and was forced to retire and miss the good old days
Those sound great for a short period of time, not if you'd have to drive it for a living every day. I can barely make through a 9 hour day with a NEW truck. 😄
This video reminds me of the 1970's movie called Duel with Dennis Weaver where a tanker truck is basically following him & terrorizing him the whole movie.
Sounds little like an old Audi 80/4000 B2, 4 cylinder manual shifted, special after gear change.......and tapping on the pedal..... Middle pressure Engine Sound....
Sad Fact: As poor as the fuel efficiency of the 2 stroke Detroits proved to be, today's modern emissions-compliant diesels are now often proving themselves to be even worse while simultaneously proving to be some of the most costly per mile of any diesel to operate.😢

so dot , state police just turned a blind eye to this truck on road !?!?
no way this is 100 percent road legal!!
It's going to be the water truck for the ranch to help with the roads and we got hit by the fires 2 years ago so she's gonna be a squirter.
Good for you. That's awesome. Wedge brakes are terrible though.

I hate to say it the longer I watch you drive it the more I am intrigued by it.
Great truck great video. I’ll be sticking around for more!
Thanks I'll do some more vids on some of the repairs. Thanks for the comment
@@HI74IH Alright sweet
@@mintyman1968 I have plenty of other junk to tool on would you be interested in seeing just the diesel or other ol iron too?
@@HI74IH old iron too for sure
Gotta love the screaming demon,old trucks rule,that's why I have been driving trucks for 28 years.love em
Driving trucks for 45 years here and.....I don't love 'em like I used to.
Then: Engineers built engines that will outlast the life of the driver and survive a nuclear blast.
Now: Engineers build engines that break a day after the warranty expires.
Music to my ears. Ty for posting this.
Thank you for watching
Detroit what's not to love.
That old girl likes to growl! 💪
Those hydraulic clutches are such a PITA in these GMC’s, if you have a part no. For a rebuild kit and could include it I’d be very appreciative, we’ve got a 72 7500 tandem with a 6v53 and 5x3 that’s parked because of a bypassing clutch master.
That sound brings back some cool memories.
I am Gavin I like your truck🚛🚛🚛😮
when the truck driving it look like the movie duel
If they ever remake the movie "Duel" this would be the perfect truck!
I thought the exact same thing when he was in that terrain!
@Outdoor Power Equipment Enthusiast sadly they probably won't remake the movie Duel thanks to cellphones because the driver would just call for help.
Motor sounds great!❤
I ran this same engine in boats when I was in the Navy also 12V 71s
Thanks for your service! I hope you got combat medals fighting the oil leaks on those old Detroits.
in the mid 70's i started driving a 10 wheel tractor like this one, i always called it a 318, i thought that was the horse power
Other manufacturers used hp, but the 2 stoke Detroit seem to use size
Looks like the area where DUEL was filmed
That sound reminds me of the 8V92tt I had in 1975
Son, I am an old timer and I can promise you that there were no 8-92s in 1975. You are off a few years. The 435 Detroits came in the '80s.
@@MrTruckerf they came out in 1974 my 1975 freightliner 2 axle cabover had one I put 750k miles on it hauling cattle then traded it in a 2 axle 1978 2 axle Pete with a KT 600 cumins I'm in my 60s and I know what I had reason I went to a cummins from the Detroit was the oil dripping I hated the mess
@@MrTruckerf you know what your right I looked at the old papers I still have it was a 8v71 I went with the 8v because the guys I subhauled had v12 and I didn't like them there shop was always working on them my dad hauled hay with th 318 I went to cummins in 78 because the oil leaks and the v12s kept leaving me behind I didn't buy the 8v92 until 85 but I loved the sound but didn't like is so I tried a cat wasn't impressed so went back tho the cummins I subbed for Walmart so got rid of my trucks and started driving for Walmart 22 years later broke my back got screwed by Walmart and was forced to retire and miss the good old days
Красота! классика американского автопрома!
The Soviet Union had them to! They converted the 4-71 and 6-71 to metric system but other than that they were the same.
Funny, I was watching the movie Duel and this was suggested next. Fire trucks are supposed to have Detroits.
Man that's really cool. Thanks
Cool truck love it.
Looks like a scene from Duel
Those sound great for a short period of time, not if you'd have to drive it for a living every day. I can barely make through a 9 hour day with a NEW truck. 😄
Tell me about it! I listened to a 350 Detroit for 12 years. Only one thing going for it; it was lighter than a 350 Cummins.
Once you get it down like you want to you'll hear a click when you shift; hammer down and mash on it 👍
Actually I heard some clicks popping them pretty good Driver
Beautiful GMC truck.
Very good video brings back memories
Thanks for sharing , drove a Astro 95 with one of these engines, 2 of the worse combinations ever.
This video reminds me of the 1970's movie called Duel with Dennis Weaver where a tanker truck is basically following him & terrorizing him the whole movie.
I can't believe that truck has juice brakes
I never liked gmc but this I like it
One thing to remember,most of the people that drove a Detroit wear hearing aids today.
Sounds like a old greyhound bus
Sounds little like an old Audi 80/4000 B2, 4 cylinder manual shifted, special after gear change.......and tapping on the pedal..... Middle pressure Engine Sound....
What is that a 318 , good ol engine don’t let it get stuck , lolol nice thanks BigAl California
Very nice truck!
Sad Fact: As poor as the fuel efficiency of the 2 stroke Detroits proved to be, today's modern emissions-compliant diesels are now often proving themselves to be even worse while simultaneously proving to be some of the most costly per mile of any diesel to operate.😢
I agree the regeneration uses extra fuel plus the cost for def and all the issues from def/ dpf systems
Wow what a beaut.
Sounds like you're grinding up the blower!
If she had a new paint and some chrome wheel 's it's Saturday night live. Don't get me wrong she a dream now!
To drive it you had to slam your hand in the door to make it run
Your getting the shifting down pat anyway.
