At my fire department we have 92 silvers in our pumpers, one is a 6v92ta 400 horse and the other is an 8v92ta 500. Our ladder truck we just retired last year after 43 years of service had a NTF 365 855 small cam with a t906b 5 speed, I miss that truck. I love the 71 series with a turbocharger on them. The 12v71tt is a great motor
Great sound from the 12 cylinder engine , the gearbox is so smoothe and no whines , great truck , more videos please thank you so much ,,greetings from Ireland
I see one of these still working in Queensbury/Glens Falls NY once in a while. Lots of old Detroits still in use around here. A lot of small dairy farms silage trucks run 6V71's. It was my first and I'm certainly not going to change now
Sweetest Road going 71 engine for sure, just before the 2 strokes were killed off in the early 90's GM built some 24V71T engines for industrial drives ;-) I used to work for the Australian GM agent in field service and test. It looked like the designers had walked down the aisles of the parts warehouse and just grabbed the biggest of everything including what looked like turboes from a 16V92 T engine. Start up to flight revs took about 3 revolutions of the engine, insane acceleration and zero vibration, just a sound like a swarm of angry bees. Ray
it was and ut was very durable. I have seen one filled up with supertech TCW3 2 stroke oil, it burns it anyways and is still running, i would go with castor 927 maxima but its pricey so stick with shell rotella cf2 low ash 2 cycle diesel oil.
@@jlo13800 927? Pricey? You think. My friend runs that in his quad. It costs a lot and it stinks. I never ride behind him.Its nasty and when mixed with race fuel it gets real nasty. I myself run Maxima Super M. It smells gr8 smokes way less and dosent foul a plug every day LoL.
I cut my teeth in 71 working on a gas powered brockway, and a DD 6v71 GMC dump. Wow to see a great truck married to a great engine. The 12v71 had some great pickup and sound.
Nice rig. If memory serves me correctly, this beast was among the many trucks used in "maximum overdrive". Course, most memorable was the western star "green goblin" (8v71 I think)
That’s some beautiful country up there 👆🏻 in The Hudson Valley Region of NY State along Rt. 22. That reminds me of all the trips I took going up there in the 1990’s and 2000’s.
Growing up in Hudson Florida, just north of New Port Richey, I remember seeing, and being fascinated with the few Brockways, and Autocars running around the area. Most of them were heavy haulers used for moving houses and such. There were also several of them running around hauling rock. Right up the road from where we lived the local garbage service, Hatcher's disposal (I think) had several old Brockway garbage trucks that they kept in pretty nice shape. I remember there being a few old Macks around with all wheel drive, and construction fenders, I always thought of them as quite the beasts !
I used to pickup waste restaurant grease down off rt22 at the Dover Plains McDonald's,oh my,that was in the 70's.Actually we went to every McDonald's from there to the Canadian border.That Brockway brings back some old memories,and thanks for that.
It's beautiful there in the summer and fall.I miss it up there,and Plattsburgh where I lived. I've been here in Florida for 25 yrs,and retired 2 yrs ago.
Clifton Jamison it ain't too bad even now, even though fall is over I think I'm starting to enjoy that season a little more around here. Wow Plattsburgh ? That's up there. My grandpa lived up in massena, that was quite a hike from down here.....glad ya liked the area here, I think it's like a hidden little gem that isn't very well known about, surprising because of it being so close to the city. Draw a square on a map from hunter mountain, to port jervis, to Greenwich ct and on up to northwest ct, and you will find me somewhere in that area workin, fixin on generators.
I always said............... If the wheels wobbled, the tire man needed to be beat with the tire iron.......... Learned the right way when I was 12 yrs old..........
Anyone ever heard of a 1973 Mack R700 long nose with a V8 Detroit Diesel & a 10 speed Fuller Roadranger ? It pulled an oil delivery trailer for the first 10 years then I converted it into a dump truck that continues to work 5 days a week in my excavation business ---- so many drivers in the know continue to give me air horn blasts for good luck --- truck has new paint job , body recently painted but that is it ! Everything else including the interior is 100 percent original ! I actually learned to shift gears with this beast back as a teenager...........
I know that yard. I haul out of Wingdale with those guys sometimes. My dad used to drive one of Rinaldi's old V-12 Brockways. Used to wear an old fighter pilot helmet with the ear muffs!
When I was a kid. I could fall asleep to that and the smell of spent gear oil and hot old bias ply tires brings back memories. My dad use to drive a detroit I can hear him coming home or leaving he use to haul brand new toyotas from the pier to dealerships all over.
LOVELY OLD TRUCK and nice driving too fair play to you she seems to have loads of guts and plenty of torque she is just raring to go thanks for the video of a buzzin 12 cylinder Detroit Diesel greetings from Ireland
Music to my ears. drove many a mile with 6 and 8V71s. Problem is, they were 40' behind me...charter buses. And, to me anyway, the 92s have a completely different sound that doesn't soothe my diesel lust near as much.
The first ever Detroit diesel ever built was in 1937 or 38 but venice diesel was designed to run off peanut oil then went to low grade oil,navy was impressed with the engine, started powering it's small boats and landing craft with them they where 61 cubic inches per cycle, navy called them gray marine, they still in service today ,2-71 to the 645 24 cyc.........
That NYS TMT plate from the 1960's beneath the regular NYS Tractor plate of the 1970's is a nice touch. I've been trying to find out all I can about them all my life.
Still using them motors on ferries here on Long Island...worked on a lot of boats with two stroker blue smokers...Charles Kettering designed them....also Zephyr first diesel electric train.
Is that an old doubles Thruway truck? Brockway Dad had kept a propane torch with him to heat his feet in Upstate winters. Even though cab similar to a White 9000, the 9000 heaters would roast you out of cab in winter. Hauled salt to treatment plant in Fultonville out of NJ from 1975 to 77 with NA250 or Formula 290. Drove 12V71 in a 71 KW COE from 77 to 81. What's cool about the 12V is exhaust just changes tune on a pull and nothing rusts behind motor. LOL
My grandfather was one of the largest sugar cane farmer in Puerto Rico. Back in the day when PR produced sugar. Anyways, he purchased 2 Brockway’s. One with a 12 cylinder and one with an 8 cylinder. This was to replace the old ox train that took one full day to deliver the sugar cane to the buyer. With these trucks, he could do the round trip in 30 minutes. I still remember riding beside him, listening to that 2 stroke 12 cylinder scream away. It was heaven on earth.
Very cool. I know there are a few Brockways in Puerto Rico. Have you heard about the Borinquen Special? Supposedly a special package offered by Brockway dealer for the entire island.
DailyDieselDose they were specifically built for a trucking company in Puerto Rico. They had reinforced frames and suspensions. Cummings 250 and other goods. Painted orange and white. My grandfather bought his in the states. NY state specifically. He bought them used with less than 500,000 miles on them. His where green and white. Don’t know who they came from. He reinforced the frames and upgraded some of the shocks. But needed the big Detroit engines to climb the hills and mountain roads. Eventually, before the demise of the sugar industry in PR. He had 5 trucks. The other 3 were Mack’s equipped with cat 3406 engines. My favorite will always be the Detroit. You could hear them miles away. BTW, wast it Mack or Brockway who build these beauties? My grandfather now 101 years of old said that Brockway was owned by Mack.
Yes Canadian National Railway we had 5 of them in freight liners 13 speed trans tons of power and best music coming out of twin stacks oh yah they were the days hauling 20 ft trains with 90,000 now you are talking great sound.
The 8V71 was the first diesel engine I ever tore down and reassembled, shops said they were high maintenance engines, but you can't beat the sound of a screaming Jimmy. In a time where the biggest cummins or cat truck engines were 400hp, the 12V71 could pump out over 500hp. The biggest problem for the 2 stroke Detroit's is no Jake Brake, now they have disc brakes for class 8 trucks, I wonder if those would make up for the lack of an engine brake, its an interesting thought, for a real screaming jimmy fan.
Compression ratio also weighs in on engine braking. I know my old Vw idi engine with 23:1 slows down way better when I only lift, than my 17.5ish :1 tdi diesel.
You had to make sure the Jakes were adjusted properly, and one specialist told me about a customer of his who would shim the valvesprings so that the Jakes would hit harder ( increased valvespring pressure )
We had two with the “buzzin dozen” but sold them to Dutchess Quarry (Arborio) pretty quickly. Too many headaches with drivers fighting for those power units and doing 1-2 dump runs then sitting at the site the rest of the day.
When i grow up a constrution co . named james romanella had r- model mack trucks with 8v71's pulling trailers of rock and gravel up and down street when i was a kid they twin stacks and small muflers load

nothing better than the sound of a buzzin'dozen
Never heard that one......nice
I will never tire of the sound of a happy, healthy Detroit. Good stuff
it sounds mad though
kyubey, the cute little devil they're just loud engines
I see one of these still working in Queensbury/Glens Falls NY once in a while. Lots of old Detroits still in use around here. A lot of small dairy farms silage trucks run 6V71's. It was my first and I'm certainly not going to change now
Might b 1 of Thompsons...The family has ran Brockways as long as I can remember
love the sound of a 12v71 engine pure music
+Charles Crisp So true! Nothing else like it on the road nowadays.
I WILL own a 12v71 powered road tractor someday. Be even better if it's wrapped in a Brockway, or an Autocar.
Same here!
I like the idea but in a K100 cabover
Keep that dream alive and it will materialize very soon!!👍💪
With more stuff like this on the road there would be no worries of people texting and driving
I would crash from gawking over these trucks.
Put a two sticker in it and they will never even wave at anyone
Lol all facts
GOT A LONG HOOD LIKE A MACK SUPERLINER THATS WHERE MACK STOLE IT FROM !
Brockway used R model and F model Mack cabs in the ‘70s. But this cab with a one piece windshield must be a Brockway design.
Two of my most favorite engine sounds in the world. The Detroit Diesel and the Harley-Davidson v-twin .
Me too, 2 cycle detroit and 1966 to 1980s shovelhead
The sweetest sound,Detroit 12V71 ,smoothest of all the 71 series.

Detroits are not happy if they are not working.. A sweet sound that never gets old👍👍

+IDreamOfDragons O You never get tired of listening to a two-stroke diesel engine screaming down the road!!
+Gillian Thomas never ever get tired of it.

What Power!!!! Love the Way the Engine Sounds at high RPM
Indeed, but I think it is 2 stronke diesel engine isn't it? I have never seen 2 stroke diesel here in Poland except in locomotives.
Laboratorium SQ9JJX yes it is 2 stroke, old trucks used to have
@@SQ9JJX yeah I'm European too and didn't know 2 stroke diesels were used on trucks, I thought they were only in trains and big ships

What a nice machine! I remember everybody back in the day would call the Detroit
the " Screamin Demon" Greetings from Ody Slim
I love the sound of a detroit hunting rpm's while idling
love them old screamers
Gotta love them old Cortland Vibrators !!
Dad drove one in the early 70’s a 68 COE with a 318 & a 15spd double OD.
From the cortland area. Much love for these trucks. You should check out the Brockway truck show on main Street in cortland every summer.
Nothing like the sound of the Michigan Road Oiler's Buzzing Dozen.
I used to pickup waste restaurant grease down off rt22 at the Dover Plains McDonald's,oh my,that was in the 70's.Actually we went to every McDonald's from there to the Canadian border.That Brockway brings back some old memories,and thanks for that.

so you haven't seen Plattsburgh in 25 years or do you still come back up here to visit?
I remember seeing trucks going down the road with these spoke rims in the 80s and 90s and the rims would wobble like they were about to come off.
I always said...............
If the wheels wobbled, the tire man needed to be beat with the tire iron..........
Learned the right way when I was 12 yrs old..........

Got to love the v12 71 i have one in my 70foot shrimp boat
I love the description, it's so perfect
Love the look of that truck and the sound is awesome.
an east coast county road and a brockway just seem to fit together so well
Oh how I love that 12V71 Detroit sound!! Music to my ears!!
I know that yard. I haul out of Wingdale with those guys sometimes. My dad used to drive one of Rinaldi's old V-12 Brockways. Used to wear an old fighter pilot helmet with the ear muffs!
At first I thought that yard was off Annsville circle on Rt9. I knew a few guys from there with Detroit powered Brockways.
Mr. SPIELBERG,
I`ll give you the title to your sequel for Duel 2...Duel 2: Resurrection.
When I was a kid. I could fall asleep to that and the smell of spent gear oil and hot old bias ply tires brings back memories. My dad use to drive a detroit I can hear him coming home or leaving he use to haul brand new toyotas from the pier to dealerships all over.
Haha i work right across the street from this! Nice truck. My old crane had a 12v71 in it.
I absolutely love this old girl. Plus the Detroit V12 is pure gold!
LOVE the sound of this truck Brockway!😊😊
Watching & hearing this video makes me go back to 1980 when my Dad owned exactly the same truck pulling a dump trailer up in the Bronx.......
with a new paint job and some tuning; it will be a real gem of a truck; nice
+Dwight Corbett Based on some of the other trucks seen around this garage in the past that could be a real possibility.
Sounds like a 1960’s La Mans race car. ❤️ it.
Detroit sound, fantastic!
LOVELY OLD TRUCK and nice driving too fair play to you she seems to have loads of guts and plenty of torque she is just raring to go thanks for the video of a buzzin 12 cylinder Detroit Diesel greetings from Ireland

This truck would have been a candidate!
The one in duel was a pete with a 400 cummins
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!
the duel truck had a modified 1674 caterpillar.

Man those things sound cool
Great sound. Nothing else like it around..
goodness, what beautiful sound!!!!

STARTED USING THE EARLY
EMD 567 ENGINES!
I’m an engineer and miss the old 567 EMD. Those things would really sing with a nice heavy train behind them.
Damn sounds good I love them old trucks
Man that truck is beastly !!!
I love rusty old machines they got a “intimidating but wise” look to them
These old trucks have so much character!

I love those old Brockway's
And I keep coming back to listen to a Detroit do some screamin
Man,what a monster truck!
Good looking classic truck 😎
THAT'S WASSAIC! O shit! I need to come back up there to see this old Brockway!
Love that swamp cooler, life of luxury right there lol
Chrome don't get you home
True, but it often gets you to a ladies house.
Jack Lope chrome and lights don't make you money
Jack Lope and it's nice to look at while waiting on the roadside for that tow truck 😂😂
Jack Lope chrome is ugly asf, and girls don't like it😂

Awesome sound. Fabulous.
I like the sound of the old Detroit iron starting up... :)
Memories!
My grandfather was one of the largest sugar cane farmer in Puerto Rico. Back in the day when PR produced sugar. Anyways, he purchased 2 Brockway’s. One with a 12 cylinder and one with an 8 cylinder. This was to replace the old ox train that took one full day to deliver the sugar cane to the buyer. With these trucks, he could do the round trip
in 30 minutes. I still remember riding beside him, listening to that 2 stroke 12 cylinder scream away. It was heaven on earth.
Very cool. I know there are a few Brockways in Puerto Rico. Have you heard about the Borinquen Special? Supposedly a special package offered by Brockway dealer for the entire island.
DailyDieselDose they were specifically built for a trucking company in Puerto Rico. They had reinforced frames and suspensions. Cummings 250 and other goods. Painted orange and white. My grandfather bought his in the states. NY state specifically. He bought them used with less than 500,000 miles on them. His where green and white. Don’t know who they came from.

Perfect video love the music
I'm lovin' that buzzin' dozen!
This whole video is a dream. Partly scary partly beauty
Yes Canadian National Railway we had 5 of them in freight liners 13 speed trans tons of power and best
music coming out of twin stacks oh yah they were the days hauling 20 ft trains with 90,000 now you are talking great sound.
The sound of power.
The 8V71 was the first diesel engine I ever tore down and reassembled, shops said they were high maintenance engines, but you can't beat the sound of a screaming Jimmy. In a time where the biggest cummins or cat truck engines were 400hp, the 12V71 could pump out over 500hp. The biggest problem for the 2 stroke Detroit's is no Jake Brake, now they have disc brakes for class 8 trucks, I wonder if those would make up for the lack of an engine brake, its an interesting thought, for a real screaming jimmy fan.
Detroit's have Jake's all the down to the 4 cylinder versions. And possibly the three cylinder ones I'm not absolutely sure on that one though
Carson Hammond I agree, but they didn't work very good, at least not compared to the 4 stroke engines.
Compression ratio also weighs in on engine braking.
I know my old Vw idi engine with 23:1 slows down way better when I only lift, than my 17.5ish :1 tdi diesel.
You had to make sure the Jakes were adjusted properly, and one specialist told me about a customer of his who would shim the valvesprings so that the Jakes would hit harder ( increased valvespring pressure )
Awesome sound

Good old 2-cycle Detroit diesel engines damn gnarly nothing like them ever
What a sweet old girl! Driver is excellent with her.
miss those and the cabovers! 😢
had 2 marine 12v71s in the ship i worked in, and they sound similar. i miss the engine room
I'll look out for ya next time I'm out and about in Wassaic.
I worked at a mill where we had a 16V71 (2 x 8v71, Roots blowers) generator. Even with ear protection you couldn't get near it when we tested it.
Ultimate diesel to noise machine.
Music to my ears.
When i grow up a constrution co . named james romanella had r- model mack trucks with 8v71's pulling trailers of rock and gravel up and down street when i was a kid they twin stacks and small muflers load
Perfect tractor for Duel 2 (remake).
Drove one like that only 350 Cummings loved it.
Wish i had trucks like this in fiji.omg very powerful and loud
I love Detroit Diesels
