Awesome engine, but the little cameraman stole the show!

Thanks for posting this. Beautiful music from my youth!

Thanks, you'll have a very reliable truck. I do have a slow-mo video but I don't think the Jake is engaged in that video. I'll try to make another one!

Just found your videos, they're great. My fire department is buying a 1991 E-One fire truck with a 6V92 in it, with the Jake Brake set up. Can you do a slow motion video of this Jake brake test, it would be cool to see the Jake holding open the exhaust valves.

My department had an '89 Pierce with the same motor. The interior looks almost the same too. I miss that rig dearly. There's nothing like those old rigs. The new rigs we have are great but there's a charm to driving one of these older rigs.

finally Real News, Thanks

Somebody needs to work on your video skills

Where is Little Squirts

She’s looking sharp!!! I hope there will be tons of super long exhaust driving videos coming, I thoroughly enjoyed the last one!!!

great sounding motor ;;;

I have both Mothers M&A polish, and the California Custom polish. Man O man does the California Custom’s make diamond plate polishing an easy task. I use an old piece of carpet to polish the diamond plate. It works well

Just use a orange airway buff with some brown cutting Rouge and follow with a yellow wheel with some green compound and buff it out like new.

The department my father worked for had a 1990 Pierce Lance, sounded just like this one!

Nice sound, nice truck! Curious how fuel effecient one of these old two strokes are. Did you calculate it? Would love to roll one down the road. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

I love it already, it will be even more great with Go Pro mounted at your head level.

New viewer here. I absolutely love the work that you do here on this channel as well as on Little Squirt. For me being a 22 year old, I've grown up listening to Detroit Diesel and seeing the work as well as the ride along of this particular 6v92 brings back memories of riding in our old ladder truck which had a 8v92 Detroit. Glad you were able to save this beautiful truck and I can't wait to see more!! Just a quick tip not sure that you're aware... when going uphill especially if the rig is loaded id recommend downshifting. Detroits don't like being lugged around. Also suggestion... put Old Glory on the rig. Nice video. Subscribeed!

Does it still have it's horn? I wanna hear it

My brother, this was an awesome video. I really enjoyed this whole thing from the start of all the way to the end. Can you please keep these kinds of videos coming because these are my all-time favorite kinds I would really appreciate that man and stay safe.

My man, you blew it out of the water on this one! What an amazing (almost) 2 hours of pure Detroit 6V92 music, absolutely love it! This is what I call pure ASMR right here, I could literally fall asleep to this amazing sound of that 6V92 Detroit! Please, please keep these super duper long drive videos coming, I want even more of this amazing 6V92 sound! And that exhaust sound and jake brake just add another layer to the music! Please keep the ASMR's coming, your rig is one of my all time favorites by far! I'll be listening to this again, mark my word!!

Dude, this is absolutely insanely awesome. Can you please see if you can do more like this one but with city driving and highway driving that would be really cool and include a start up on the next one.

What the heck?

Ah, that sweet Detroit music! Please, please do more, but super long!! I just can't get enough of that amazing Detroit sound!

Amazing sounding truck man do you think you could please do a long ASMR video of you driving it that would be absolutely amazing. I just subscribe to your channel as well. Stay safe man.

I never noticed the whining sound that the straight cut gears make when upshifting/downshifting. Reminds me a lot of the Blue Bird TC2000s I used to ride to school as a youngster.

Ya gotta love the sound of that Silver 92, and Jake Brake.

Nice video! I need to do some oil sampling on mine, keep forgetting. So one thing to mention, the way you pulled your oil sample may also be skewing the results a bit. Really they want the engine oil circulated before and want a sample from the middle of the oil pan essentially. Usually this is accomplished by grabbing the sample midway while draining the oil during an oil change or by inserting a long tube down the dipstick and pulling a sample. By pulling the sample off the bottom you may be getting a higher concentration of those metals and things may not be as bad as you think. Might be worth pulling another sample when you do your oil change. The V series engines though do seem to be hard on bearings. I have already done a bearing change on mine, as I believed it to have more than 250k miles on it.

Matthew I am going to need to check with Mom and make sure you are my son. You may be an office worker but you are one heck of a mechanic and a very creative videographer. I'm only disappointed you couldn't wait for me to help. In any case I am very proud of you for all the work you done on squirt. Love Dad

What a sound! You should seriously think about straight piping this thing and running it that way! Would be awesome hearing it straight piped out on the road!

Excellent, nice work. I am wondering how long it’s going to take someone to point out you should have used the box end of the wrench to loosen those valve bridge nuts! Haha! All kidding aside, looks like you did a good job and that engine sounds so good being right up front. I am used to buses with the engine 40ft back.

Nice sidewalls

You have to let the diesel engines run you’re gonna mess them up you can’t just cut it off

Nice looks like your well on your way. I know someone who wants to add jakes to a early DDEC like that, I was researching and found out that you needed that module. I think he said he already got the module. As I said, if you have any questions reach out. I will do what I can to answer if I know, some of this stuff I am still learning and trying to get info from the old mechanics that still know this stuff!

Not a clue...

Need to bring them back

We had several of these fantastic trucks at my department. I drove a lot. I was the driving instructor for the department. After driving this truck ALWAYS idle the engine 5-10 minutes to cool the turbocharger. Otherwise, the turbo will not last long.

nice Euro 1

Are you FD? How did you get this with it still fully outfitted? As far as I know most states restrict civilians from buying or titling a fire truck with lights and sirens still equipped - and that's owning it altogether whether it be inside a garage or sitting on blocks or anything, let alone driving it on a road. I am not sure if registering it as a historical vehicle gets around that?

That must have smell really good. I wish to stand there and just smell the smoke

how many gallons is your tank ?

I used to drive a Pearce of that model and year. Now I am retired. Miss that old truck. I would take that Pearce today over any of the newer trucks.

Oh yea....love those old trucks.

I'm sure all the ACTUAL firefighters out there are laughing at me struggling with a 1.5 inch attack hose, but DANG that thing had some kickback!

Link of the monitor please

Awesome!

Josh. Jinmnewz I love you too babys have a wonderful day and many more than you too love you too baby girl I love you .🌲,🖤 Joshua tree 😘 I love you too babys have fun and happy birthday to.

Little Squirt the Fire engine you will need a siren

Did that with my sutphen except I used a chain.

Looks like someone meets a new tow strap for father's day 🙂

In case you're wondering. Top speed = 65 MPH at ~2200 RPM. MPG = 6.3. And it's actually very stable at highway speed.

It’s so weird hearing one of these not at full throttle. 😂
