This is definitely a Detroit Diesel two stroke, but I don't know if it's a Detroit Diesel 8V92TA, 8V71T, or even a 6V92TA? This truck was built in 1984.
Such beautiful Detroit Diesel music !!! The 6.71 has always been my favorite. At one time our city bus fleet was all 6.71s or 6V92s. In the '80s i lived near an interstate freeway and could still hear a lot of this great music as trucks and buses would pass by.
The sound of a screaming Jimmy is now iconic. I learned to drive a "big truck" with one of these motors. The guy who taught me was a big Italian cat who threw me the keys and told me to back the tractor trailer until I got it. I was 17. There were no CDLs. If you had a license back then, it was a No. 1 chauffeur's license, which obviously no longer exists. Those were the heydays of trucking...😊
First moment i heared it i recouldnized a Detroit 6V92.... The 92 has this typical Detroit 92 Scream. Found in New Flyer D40 aswell as in the GMC RTS busses. (connected to a Allison gearbox)
Size of the truck being a Engine/Tanker 1984 would lean towards a 6V92. I have a 6V92 and you could hear it's different music at a certain rpm range. That truck had the same music. 671 or 6v71 with a turbo would be 275+ hp. 6V92TA would be 280 to 350+ depending on turbo and injectors. 6V92 was the direct replacement for the 8V71 and 8V71T because they made similar hp but the 92's were mostly Silver series which helped eliminate (not totally Stop) the "drooling".
That is a great fire truck! Grumman (Howe) with Waterous top Mount control midship pump and most likely 2500 gallon tank. Probably not the fastest! Whatever Jimmy it has it’s gotta be a stick transmission especially that low reverse. Cool.
@@jeanclaude7018 you could be right. I’ve spent my life in a rural area and didn’t have exposure to municipal buses, just vocational trucks. I’ve seen lots of 6/71 and 6V92 but only one 6V71 in a fire truck.
@@stevefrazier325 I never saw a 6V-71 in any truck until I bought that old Freightliner COE. Has a Spicer 8125u 12 speed too, which no one has heard of. It's the original stuff according to the door sticker. The whole package was very short so it could fit in the 10' wheelbase. Sounds almost identical to the straight 6.
That's powered with a Series 92 (V6) for sure, but whether it's TA or Ti is questionable without seeing it.... but my guess with that application would be Ti to save space under that short hood. Sure looks like Whitefish, MT area to me... is it?
Dodgeramfan05...... FYI, the series 71 AND 92 engines were Both available until the summer of 1995.... when they were replaced with the Series 60 & 50 4 cycles.

By 1985, the 6V92TA was the common Detroit 2-cycle engine in trucks this size. The 8V92TA was also available then, but more expensive.
The chassis is an LTS9000 because of it being tandem axles in the rear, and, up front is a set-back axle.
6V92TA for sure. Sounds just like a New Flyer D40.
You mean d40HF
But is still the same thing
No I mean D40 lol
Is weird that is called d40
But the articulated one is called d60HF
So it should be called d60 instead of hf
It is D60. From what I know, HF wasn't used on the build plates, but just a term used after the D40LF became more popular.
6V-92 no question. The year alone gives it away.

Also neoplan An440’s,new looks,Orion 5, and nova bus RTS probably gillig phantom
Has this engine too🎧
I love that sound !!! ( Dave from Toledo , Ohio . )
Love it when it goes from being throttled to idle.

music, sweet music
The engine sounds like a 6V92TA to me. Don't forget, there was also the inline 6-71TA.

Beautiful Ford Tanker! It sounds Great!
Great catch!
definitely sounds like a 92 series
Sounds awesome!!
That's a 6V92TA. Our New Flyer D40s in Ottawa sounded similar.
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
It's a 6V92TA!
Def 6v92, I've driven fords with this engine and it sounds exactly the same
More refined sounding than a 71 👍👍👍👍👍
The 6V92 was much more common than the 6V71, the 71 Series was most often 6/71 straight 6 in 6 cylinder format
Wasn't the 6V-71 very common in city buses, running through a v drive?
I have one in a very old Freightliner day cabover.

Sounds great to me, but all that noise makes it hard to sneak up on a fire. haha

By 1985, all 6V92s were turbocharged-aftercooled. Only the inline 6-71 was available with or without turbo.
TI (Turbo-Intercooled) was mainly a common site on marine applications, more likely to see after or non-after cooled turbo variants on road vehicles
awesome sound! But a GM powered Ford?! oh well whatever works! But theirs nothing like that sound!!
This sounds like a Detroit 6V92TA.
A lot of rural volunteer fire departments would love to put this truck to put in service if they had this truck
DEFINITELY a 6V92TA!
I say a 6V92 as well
6v92TA
That one is the long nose so its pretty possible it has the inline 6-71.
yup 6v92T
That's a 6v92. I know that valve train whine anywhere and that engine drone.
6V71N, This sounds like a GM New Look bus
ClassicTVMan1981X What kind of transmission was in this? It sounds just like a Gillig Phantom. :O
TheCRTman most likely Allison
Might be an Allison MT, but it almost sounded like a manual for a sec.
Probably an MT654CR - a five-speed (close-ratio) automatic.
6v71 for sure. 6v92TA sounds a bit quieter
A Ford with a GM engine lol!
6v92ta, definitely
If it was an 8V71 it would have backed up by itself with no throttle input.
6v92 for sure
6v92 for sure.. The 6v71 sounds way different
92 series.
6v92 a 6v71 probably wouldn’t be in a truck like that it’s a lot older engine
Dodgeramfan05...... FYI, the series 71 AND 92 engines were Both available until the summer of 1995.... when they were replaced with the Series 60 & 50 4 cycles.
6V71
I say 6V71 T. The 6V92 has more of a low rumble, or growl to it.
Smells like a 92 😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
def 6V92
6v92T
92.
6v92😊
I'd say an 8V-92TA, being a 2000 gallon or more tanker, she needs the extra ass. She sounds a bit more rumpety than a 6V as well...
SteamAndSmoke97 Lol
It’s 6V92TA powered because the 8V92TA has a more aggressive sound to them
That’s a 6V71T
92
awesome sound! But a GM powered Ford?! oh well whatever works! But theirs nothing like that sound!!!
6v92TA
6v92TA
