That is ONE WELL TUNED/MAINTAINED JIMMY. NOT A HINT OF EXHAUST SMOKE even during gear change. MAGNIFICENT.

[johnsergei]

You've got the whole classic truck show on board.

Run it up to the governor - shift. There is no sound on earth like it. This is one of those sounds that I would love to have running for ten hours to sleep by. I lived on a truck route on an incline when I was young, and hearing the Detroit Diesels leaving the light two blocks away was always a thrill. Cummins? Yawn. Caterpillar? Fine. Although I did like the Thermodyne because it belched more black smoke than raw bunker fuel. But the sound of the 2-stroke was always identifiable - 6, 6v, 8, 12. Sigh. Thanks for this!

I love that sound. My father and his brothers drove back in the day. Most of the Tractors had Detroit's in them.
Can't get enough of that music.

[suparoo]

Man, those jimmy's sound nice, we use to have 953 KW rig trucks with 16 V's in them, they sounded awesome with 50 ton on the back and fun to drive

This Detroit Diesel might be the cleanest ive seen!!! A token of excellent maintenance!

[muffsmercury]

Wow and does it ever sing and roar at the same time!!! No diesel sounds sweeter than a Detroit. Not to mention he is hauling some awesome cargo !!! The old school kind.

[anthonyxuereb]

You don't get to hear that every day, it's music to my ears.
