Learned to drive in a truck just like this.... when ever I miss my dad, I just watch this video, takes me back to riding with him. I played this for my mom, she started crying.... “ I miss your dad! “
I used to ride in an L 9000 with this same engine back in the early 80s, I would help my uncle on his route of delivering alcohol and wine to liquor 🥃 store's in southern Minnesota, we would listen to country music 🎵.
@@steveconnell791 heck of a good time in my eyes brother, I grew up riding a MackDM800 coal bucket in SE Ky, beautiful truck, loud pipe music, and gorgeous scenery.
I worked for a leasing company that had 10 GMC Brigadiers single axles leased onto a metal can manufacturer. Same setup with 6-71 with 10 speeds. You would go thru 5 gears just driving it from the lot into the shop! Loved that sound.
Yea with the clutch anyone can drive. Thats a big enough truck you only use the clutch 1 time. To start. To stop you do a rollimg stop in 1st or you pop in neutral when you downshift all your gears
All of us drove them during this era know the HOSE clamp was FACTORY equipment Lol .! I rubbed my eye one night in 1980 & got a piece of metal in it from the hose clamp off the 10 sp. road ranger 671 Detroit Dr. Had to dig out. Lol.
I remember the ads back in the mid 1960's when Ford Motor Company was bragging about their better ideas. Detroit Diesel power in big Ford trucks was far and away the best one of all.
@@billrobertson1507 Sorry but GMC stood for General Motors Corporation. I'm from Australia who are trying to fool? The Gray Marine was the marinised version of the 6-71. If you've seen the movie Saving Private Ryan you know what I mean. My gut feeling tells me you served for your country which is a huge salute to you
Back when it was second nature knowing how to drive a truck with an awesome power-train such as the Detroit Diesel hooked to a Fuller Roadranger tranny......and of course the backbone of trucks in North America, the Ford Louisville line. Have the majority of any new truck driver today and tell them to sit in the drivers seat of this truck and say lets drive. Probably have no idea on how to operate it.
exactly right, in the early 90s when english drivers were being fired in favour of eastern europeans many companies had their truck fleets wrecked by them not understanding shift patterns, double clutching
I love the little wire catch that he uses to keep his splitter in high. You need to wear hearing protection when driving a 6-71 or a 4-53. Good engines though.
The wire isn't to keep the valve in high, it's to hold the spliter knob on the spliter arm that moves the valve in the housing to control going from.low to high and back.
What beautiful music !! Wish our LNs had these Detroits but most of them had 3208 Cats or 534 gas engines. I miss those days (1976-1990) Must be nice to come to work with a singing truck awaiting every day.
@bobbyhenderson8603 After gas hit over $1.30 a gallon in early 1980 (very high back then) they decided to slowly get rid of the 534s which averaged maybe 4 mpg in town and 5 on the interstate but by summer it dropped to about $1.05. The engines themselves were trouble free so they held onto some as late as 1984.
Your roads must be fairly level down there. I drove an Autocar dump with a 6/71 in it up here in NY and I had to shift it all day long! Never got to stay in high gear as long as you did.
Up here in nh we have never ending hills and mountains so even with a 13 speed your right arm gets tired and you don't need to worry about breaking any speed records.
Stock as a clock... Even down to the rust spot on the roof , never seen headliners except custom stuff in the show trucks. No a/c, manual steering, and a clutch you had to stand on, hence why they were used mostly on logging roads and take-off.
Yes, they were pretty much all mounted that way in the earlier years. Then Eaton came out with the black plastic shifter knob with the range selector switch built into it.
Awesome video., I think it was a GMC with a 6-71 Detroit 10 speed with a shifter like that , that I drove . It was a kick in the ass to drive and run through the gears. 👍👍
charles toth eventually you can't hear them anymore because they're so loud. I always used to see old truckers with hearing aids in the left ear. I was used to wonder why, that's when old school trucker told me it was the 275 Detroit ear.
When I learn to drive a stick shift, Imma have to start smoking or at the very least have a cig hanging from the corner of my mouth. My man here makes it look essential to shifting this well 😁
Love that sound man!!!! Back in the day drive a 1980 White Western Star with the same set uo, except i had the chrome Eaton fuller shifter knob, and three range tranny
Even has the Hendrickson hop. My '79 and '83 had it. My '92 was a lot truck that came with a 46,000 lb setup that didn't have the hop when you had a wagon, but bobtail anywhere and you needed a neck brace and visits to the chiropractor for weeks afterwards. After that one, it was all air ride.
+MrTo YouBoy Again, you sent me a message and established the fact that you are trolling for attention. You're the one hiding behind a keyboard, my name is posted. So.....is that all you've got?
This is probably the run-of-the-mill 6-71N with N65 injectors, right? Because, by the time the year this truck was made (1982), there was also a turbocharged 6-71T available up to 275 hp using the same N65 injectors.
back in the late 70's Eddie Hosteader from Paris area had GMC with Detroit with twin straights crazy thing was it was a tag axle lost contact with him after leaving He Spann
so this correct me if wrong is a ten speed. i had a Cummins with a 10eaton. my shift pattern even when full was always 2,4,6-10. is that just with my load usually at 50k (seed truck) or favorable to the engine? btw that sounds great. I miss that truck but I can't complain with its replacement of a pete with a c12 and 13 speed with split on high.
Those engines made a lot of noise and everything was cool until the headlights hit hill...then is was start rowing in the gearbox because they WOULD NOT PULL.
I dont get why a 10spd gets put behind a 6--71. The rpm drop between 5 and 6 is always big for a detroit. I ran a couple of 671's and their 13 speed was great. Ah well, great vidya anyway.
Great driver but I think he's using the clutch ,at least for some gears. I don't know why you would because that combination of engine and transmission is excellent for clutch less shifts. Why work so much harder than you have to?
My Pop was a Cummins/Mack guy. He tolerated the 8v71 but the 6 was just too gutless. Said it wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a sick chickens ass, on a downgrade
I'm just some guy who got bit by the 2 stroke bug from detroit but all screamin'demon s came stock with a blower Use to take ol detroit blowers off and put em on v8s to get mo power
my God forgive him, you only need the clutch when you start moving the truck on first gear, after that if you need the clutch you are not trucker, get another job, now I understand when my father used to say trucking is a family tradition.
After all these years I still come back to see the cool guy row gears and hear a 6v71 sing!
qwantoz hp e cilindradas?
@@aliriogomes5451 7 liters, 426ci, 238hp with N65 injectors
6-71 is an inline. I agree on the sound though. They’re insane! That’s how a diesel should sound.
Me too!
same
All that shifting to hit 5 mph, love the sounds of those Detroit’s
don't be nasty ;;;; 5.5 mph ;;;
@@simongilbert2704pff when this baby hits 6 mph you're gonna see some serious shit.

Your poor Mom heard that ol DD and it tore her up, that tears me up. Sorry about your Dad bro

Zippos came out in 1932... Detroit 6-71s came out in 1938... both still working on this video LOL
Justin Keckhaver yea! thats what you call "old school"!
Justin Keckhaver true American icons
witteman adrian Old but not obsolete
It's wild that these engines are what the Germans heard when Americans landed at Normandy. So much history behind the 71 series!
Really? In what vehicle?
Higgins boats used Marine spec 6-71s.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy ok thanks 👍

Finally someone with skills, a good truck, AND a good camera! :D
Coolest Guy ever. All he need is a bottle of Jack Daniels & 8 more gears !
dont drink n drive
Next to the 8V71DD, this is my second favorite diesel engine sound.
I freaking love it!!!!!
He handles that Detroit and cigarette like a boss!
I beg to differ. His cigarette went out in less than 40 seconds. That would've never happened with me. 😂😂
Love that sound - both the exhaust and that whining blower - music to my ears.

6-71! It is my favorite engine !
Zach The Ripper gotta get vid lol
MAX MORITZ , my favorite Detroit also.
Man does this ring back memories. I drove one inthe 70s haul trash fish from Gloucester Ma. to Maine. You weren't going to fall asleep in it.
I love the little wire catch that he uses to keep his splitter in high. You need to wear hearing protection when driving a 6-71 or a 4-53. Good engines though.
First driving job was in 1981,drove GMC with 6-71 13 speed. Wearing hearing aids now.
The wire isn't to keep the valve in high, it's to hold the spliter knob on the spliter arm that moves the valve in the housing to control going from.low to high and back.
Excellent gear changing... This is How its Done Properly.....
Old school there, no clutch, sounds GREAT!!
Ohhh nahh he was clutching watch his knee
A Ford with a GM engine. Love it!
Hudson hawk absolutely combination of my dreams 👍🇦🇺
Sell them just about any way you wanted too....

Started driving one of these when I was 11 years old. I still drive it around the yard from time to time.
Drove a GMC 9500 tandem axle with a 6-71 (238) and this tranny for 4 years hauling steel... Loved it.
Drove a 74 Hahn fire engine for years with that same configuration. My arm still hurts and I haven't driven that rig in 30 years!
Your roads must be fairly level down there. I drove an Autocar dump with a 6/71 in it up here in NY and I had to shift it all day long! Never got to stay in high gear as long as you did.
13speed is the perfect trans for a 671. Loved the viedo!
Up here in nh we have never ending hills and mountains so even with a 13 speed your right arm gets tired and you don't need to worry about breaking any speed records.
Over here in NY its the same way. 8-10 speeds for local jobs. Anything more and you're gonna have a sore right arm.
hose clamps fix everything. lol
That's not a fix, Factory stock.
All Road Ranger splitters were mounted with hose clamps from the factory

The exact same model truck I learned to drive on. This one is a lot quieter though.
Used to herd an 68 GMC tri-axle with a 6-71 ans a Spicer 4x4. You could sure stack some cogs in that baby!
I used to haul hay from field to farm with a 67 ford with the 6-71 and a 10. Very familiar sound
Great video boy, I drive the same gearbox in a FL 70, coffee and fertilizer, greetings for everybody from Tarrazu Costa Rica.
When drivers were drivers
Love that sound man!!!! Back in the day drive a 1980 White Western Star with the same set uo, except i had the chrome Eaton fuller shifter knob, and three range tranny

Yeah, not like these crap automatics that are out here today. Imho, Eaton Fullers are still the best. 👍
great sound thanks for the vid
I haven't driven a 200 RPM window in 30 years and I can still tell you what it is with my eyes closed. What's with the Virginia Slim boy. LOL
Ran out smokes borrowed one from his wife
Looks like a Marlboro menthol light 100
you livin the life bro
Even has the Hendrickson hop. My '79 and '83 had it. My '92 was a lot truck that came with a 46,000 lb setup that didn't have the hop when you had a wagon, but bobtail anywhere and you needed a neck brace and visits to the chiropractor for weeks afterwards. After that one, it was all air ride.
I don't care what they tell you in school. This guy is cool 😎
This dude made this video man!!
Now that’s how it’s done cigrits in the left and shifter on the right in a Detroit
You are the best i've ever seen brother...Respect

just listen to the rpm's per gear. almost identical. you sir have some skill.
Cranking butts and driving 2 strokes. GOBBLESS
Love that sound.👍
Sweet. that's the right way to run her, just like a piano tuner. got to have a muffler on her this way all the sound is captured exhaust, and engine
Drove a Pete with one of those noisy underpowered engine. Hated them
He cut them gears like butter.

Use to take ol detroit blowers off and put em on v8s to get mo power
Salve do Brasil! Acabei de comprar um Detroit 4-71
Never get tired of those screamin' Detroits.
the best shifting vid ever can some 1 do and explain twin stick shifting vid for me
can you make a video with a better view of your clutching
6v71s are a sweet sound but my all time is a 12v71 with a supercharger and twin turbos
They all have “super chargers”
yes you do need a clutch thats what its there for . all the gears are non synchro and straight cut
my God forgive him, you only need the clutch when you start moving the truck on first gear, after that if you need the clutch you are not trucker, get another job, now I understand when my father used to say trucking is a family tradition.
hahaha cool video ciggy and all 🤣👌👌👌👌👌👌
Awesome!
Great video,
good ol 238 all scream an no power..
Very Nice video, Detroit diesel....
it s great but i like more if you were floating the gears
You look exactly like my uncle cousin
One more gear!
If you can shift, smoke, eat a burrito and talk on the phone at the same time.....I'll be impressed!
DUH!
I knew he was going to do good because of his cigarette
Una nota de video, de sonido, de
