Erwin Klawuttke not true. Everyone of my friends can drive stick and that's about 30 people. More people in my town know how to drive stick than people who dont.
As far as I know only 40 % of the U.S. people are able to drive manuals. I agree that´s a lot in a country where 93 % of the cars have an automatic transmission. I wonder how many japanese people are able to drive stick. In Japan 99.9 % of the cars have automatic. Here in Germany just 25 % have automatics. Many people here have problems to drive automatics
This is the sound I've been looking for for 50 years. When I was a kid in the early 60s I lived about a mile from a refinery that had a fleet of these. They drove by my house every day, all day, screaming like demons from hell. It's a sound I can still hear in my head. This video is the closest I've heard since.
When I was a kid there was a big trucking company 1 mile from the house. They weren't allowed to run on Sundays before 9pm. At 9, I would go in my sister's room to listen to those White Mustangs and B Model Macks start up and leave. IT was beautiful.....one of the reasons I drove for 45 years.......and yes, hard of hearing!lol!

It just sounds like its running fast because of the engine being a 2 stroke. It fires everytime the piston hits top dead center, unlike a 4 stroke. If you look closely at the gauge the most it hits is about 3k rpm.
Ok This is a Detroit 4/53 T meaning 53 cubic inches per cylinder and 4 of them. So that makes it only 3.48 litres in capacity. Look at 27 seconds in the video how it builds speed, impressive. Some people bag the Two stroke Detroits blah ,blah, but realize no four stroke engine of this capacity has its performance then and only maybe now with computers ,common rail injection, and multi-shot piezo electric injectors. Not bad for an engine designed in and around WW2. Its a two stroke so its supercharged and turbo charged hence the crazy sound. Its also a modular engine meaning the rods, pistons etc was common whether 3,4,6,8 cylinder etc. Completely bananas and I love it. Thank so much Glen Tuckey truckin. Loved them when I was a little boy, love em now.
The second I started watching my first thought was "my God, imagine if this was a Detroit diesel"... I felt all warm and fuzzy as I heard the acceleration ❤️ 🚚
The first time I watched this I was thinking, “man, I’m not sure a diesel is supposed to sound like that.” Then about 6 months later I started learning to drive in a W9 with an 8v71 and twin sticks, and realized that this is exactly how a diesel should sound.
Makes me tear up hearing and watching this. Grew up on the old Jimmies. Best thing to learn on at that time as a young whipper snapper. Full throttle always. All balls. Mad shifting on a 5x4. Real good stuff.
I worked in the Fire Department for 27 years and my Engine Company had a pumper with an 8V92 with 500hp. That thing hauled and was limited by only having a 3spd Allison. She pushed a lot of smoke but man it was fun to be a driver. 2 strokes rule.
No idea why this showed up on my feed, but love that old truck. When I started in the oil field in 1977 there was one old GMC (about 25 years newer than this one) that had the 4-53 Detroit engine. Always loved the sound of all of them. This brings back many memories.
Very impressive GM. Tachs fast, sounds absolutely sweet and gets up to speed fast. Even got the Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle cap in there. Absolutely love the gauge layout on top of the dash. All trucks should be set up and sound like that.
That's super cool .... I have a 5/4 in my pete , getting ready to go with a small cummins 350 and a 15 speed , and yes I plan on keep the auxiliary for fun and challenge ,
I'ts been a long time since I've heard a screaming gmc or ( jimmy), I enjoyed that very much it takes me back to the truck I first learned on in 1980.....
I love all the you tube twin stick cowboys. All the one I see on here have power steering. It was a lot tougher without power steering back in the day. Most old trucks never had it.
When I started driving I was given the choice of an International with a 549-v8 w/5×3 or International R-190 with a 450 in line 6 ,w/5×3 and powersteering. I took the power steering because it was easier to split shift with your arm through the steering wheel.
I would love to learn how to drive this. I want a truck like this to cruise around town and make a bunch of racket with the jakes while I hang a big middle finger out the window!!!
this really reminds me of the opening scenes from the 2nd Smokey and the Bandit movie, where he is racing his truck around that famous racetrack.......
Sounds awesome! Did I hear some double clutching? Nice. Seems like the hardest part about driving that thing is remember which damn gear you're in lol.
my old man taught me how to doubeclutch with twin stick fuller transmission long time ago.i ws 15 or so. it was an old truck from the 50s with a great Perkins diesel engine in the front . i loved to drive it. it is not that difficult, it is also about feeling. not just stamping down that pedal and jerk it into another gear.big fun to drive though. i still do it in my car, although completely unnecessary, but old habits die slowly i guess..
Stephenie Grenoble bit late but couldn’t get over your ignorant comment, they didn’t say anything about the setup as it’s quite obvious what it all does. When driving the hard part IS remembering what gear you’re in, especially if you haven’t driven it before and can’t telling by looking at or touching the left shifter..
Drove a 5 x 4 x 3 3 stick in the early 70's, hauled heavy equipment. Most of the time starting out the only way to upshift up was with the jake. I'll never forget
Someone mentioned today (as I recall) no modern two stroke diesel are made. Electromotive Division GM has been using a turbo supercharger since the 1960's the Turbo is spooled off the cam shaft like a supercharger. When the boost reaches a certain point where the boost matches the throttle/RPM, the clutch disengages and the turbo will free wheel providing both boost and scavenging. This eliminates turbo lag. Detroit Diesel came up with something similar called the by-pass blower. Fairbanks Morse opposed piston engines, are turbocharged and have no roots type blower. Huge Marine diesel most are two stroke are turbocharged. EMD has not made a two stroke in years because of EPA Tier 4 particulate emission standards. They use computers and EFI to control swirl and make a more efficient engine. But I love the sound of a Detroit. As far as I know Detroit Two strokes are produced for off road such as in construction equipment.
Now we know why our grandpa’s who drove rigs in their younger years were hard of hearing in their golden years
what!!!
Tell me about it
@@kevinroberts8441 HE SAID NO WONDER WHY YOUR HARD OF HEARING. THE TRUCK IS NOISY
I wonder what it sounds like outside the truck
Lmfao the Engine sounds like an Inline 6 Sports car
I have never heard a vehicle that's so slow, sound so fast. Loved it.
screamin jimmy for ya
+Zachary Adams 2 - stroke -diesel sounds like that in the old days. search for the KRUPP TITAN diesel s of Germany in the 1950´s: they sounded similar
Never heard my Jimmy then
+Zachary Adams This thing is probably movin pretty quick, its only in a pickup truck, and likely well over 400ft/lb of torque.
+Zachary Adams It sounds like it's doing about 300 mph, but it looks like it's got 300 gears:)
Two stick shifting in a country where most people cannot shift manually with one-stick-manuals
Erwin Klawuttke
Most truck driver's ain't never seen a 2stick let alone able to drive one.
Erwin Klawuttke not true. Everyone of my friends can drive stick and that's about 30 people. More people in my town know how to drive stick than people who dont.

THERE ARE ALSO 3 STICKS.
I know but there are rare

Thats beautiful man, can’t imagine how you must feel watching this. Hows life nowadays?

that thing sounds so angry, its beautiful
That's what happens in a WIFE when she get mad at ....🤪🤪
no clutches were used in the making of this video
Not even to down shift?
Only to start going and to double clutch shift.
you dont need to double clutch, just start and stop.
Mike Andrews I find it easier to shift without a clutch way smoother for me
LMFAO!!!
Never before has "slow" looked so fast...
...or so complicated...
except for before
It's a Detroit diesel. They are very high RPM engines
Wym he's haulin ass dude
Harriman Fox no it's low rpm it's just the way the design of the engine makes it sound like that
It just sounds like its running fast because of the engine being a 2 stroke. It fires everytime the piston hits top dead center, unlike a 4 stroke. If you look closely at the gauge the most it hits is about 3k rpm.

+Grant Ball roughly equivalent to a 6.9 litre being 2 stroke and all :) but yeah, mad power for their displacement. and i love them too :D
The only time a four banger will sound that good.
These trucks came with 6v92 detriots, way bigger than the 453s
amen !
My dad was a Chevrolet D60 Detroit in Brazil in 1977 his was brand new.
Same engine same song...
"Hey bro, pass the AUX cable"
"Dont play crap, okay?"
Whoops you have to put the CD in your computer...
Why did they even bother with the radio?
+GerOffYeWeeBastard it is for when you're sitting on the side of the road. broke down.
+GerOffYeWeeBastard Put the music on max volume ;)
= flooring it
Timing when learning how to shift.
Put on a song that starts slow and winds up fast. It's how I did it years ago.
Keep the mostly stock look. Or most ppl just don't want to fuck with it
Been watching this video for years now. Never get sick of the awesome sound those 2 strokes produce.
lol when you gotta pick up the wife and shes mad at you... bring this so you don't have to hear her XD
LOL Yes!
Best suggestion ever.
You are right. Piss her off more with the noise
holy moley says it all wooooooooooooo.
Or just leave her ass.
The second I started watching my first thought was "my God, imagine if this was a Detroit diesel"... I felt all warm and fuzzy as I heard the acceleration ❤️ 🚚
It is lol
i've probably watched this video at least 300 times in the last few years......it just never gets old.
That's trucking in the blood.
One big question goes unanswered, what is the make of the car ? A vital statistic !
Same here ay, I remember when the video had about 50k views (if that) when I first found it.
I never get tired of watching or listening to this video
+EMDSD14R Yeah who wouldn't like the purr.
truman tesch indeed every time I watch this video I want my own custom pick up with this same engine...I'll have it one day.
h82bu223 Indeed it sure is!
+EMDSD14R: Me, too.. I watch it again and again
bobl78 oh yeah you can't help but watch it again and again..its that awesomre!
I watch this from time to time still after 5 years and gives me chills every time. The sound of this truck is bone rattling.
The first time I watched this I was thinking, “man, I’m not sure a diesel is supposed to sound like that.” Then about 6 months later I started learning to drive in a W9 with an 8v71 and twin sticks, and realized that this is exactly how a diesel should sound.
this would be the best Euro Truck Simulator 2 sound mod ever.
+DeadNullermand 900 cv caterpillar engine this is
+tecnicsboys isn't this a 453t ?
+Nikola Begonja yes it is
omgomgomgomg DUUEEDEEE YESS
I love 2 stroke diesel engines
Very well done. Perfect gear shifting equalizing the engine"s rotation to the gear box for smooth gear shifting. Great pro!
Makes me tear up hearing and watching this. Grew up on the old Jimmies. Best thing to learn on at that time as a young whipper snapper. Full throttle always. All balls. Mad shifting on a 5x4. Real good stuff.
This has got to be one of the coolest videos everywhere. Been coming back to it for over a year now just to hear that Detroit scream
Fantastic engine sounds and wonderfully complex shifting pattern! This is why people still love to drive manual transmission vehicles.
This brings back memories of Dad's Brigadier log truck with the 8V92... Liked!!
I worked in the Fire Department for 27 years and my Engine Company had a pumper with an 8V92 with 500hp. That thing hauled and was limited by only having a 3spd Allison. She pushed a lot of smoke but man it was fun to be a driver. 2 strokes rule.
The sound of that engine makes me fall in love.
What an incredible sounding engine . I used to hear these in old CCC cement mixers and they sounded like music.......just like this.
No idea why this showed up on my feed, but love that old truck. When I started in the oil field in 1977 there was one old GMC (about 25 years newer than this one) that had the 4-53 Detroit engine. Always loved the sound of all of them. This brings back many memories.
I used to drive one of these on a farm. Definitely not as fancy as yours but it was always a joy to drive. The interior is like a time capsule
Dad used to drive a twin stick back in the day. I'll never understand how you guys can work those things! Good stuff!
Very impressive GM. Tachs fast, sounds absolutely sweet and gets up to speed fast.
Even got the Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle cap in there. Absolutely love the gauge layout on top of the dash. All trucks should be set up and sound like that.
I've never seen such a slow thing sound so fast. Gotta love those 2-stroke ol' diesel engines. Greetings from Brazil.
Hot damn I love it! 50s Chevrolet pickup, sparkling shifter, Johnn Cash shift knob, a Damn Detroit w/ jakes! A work of art my man!
Fast&Furious shifting in a nutshell
It sounds like he is going 200+ mph😂
3.14159265359 , it sounds like a Ferrari or Ford GT screaming down the track, but it’s only doing 30 mph! 😂
π
If ya cant find em, grind em! Love the video, could watch and listen to that truck all day...
Great video! Good engine noise, very precise gear change! Greetings from a spectator from Brazil! I wait for more!
Jesus, Love the sound of this thing. I need to see more. I need to hear more!
Sounds amazing and looks to be a very cool truck! Great video!
Screaming jimmy love the sound especially with the turbo backing it up
we want to see more driving videos!!!!!! I cant tell you how many times i have watched this!!!!! BADASS
Love the sound of that motor!
Maaaan that is the craziest sounding truck but it is awesome! Now that is disturbing the peace in the best way👍
Johnny Cash shifter knob. Nice.
love to hear that Detroit scream,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
For fuck sake people it's a 2 stroke Detroit engine. It's meant to sound like that! Love it!
Corey Balck 353????
Its the 453t i think
Yes it’s the 453
You don't hear many of these dt's any more. As soon as I clicked on old Detroit.. cool truck
No its not.
I remember coming home after a long day half DEAF!!!
Nice! Love the old Detroits it's music to my ears, driven lots of them over the years.
Very cool truck mate, Excellent build. Jake sounds killer.
One must shut the door on ones hand to get in the proper frame of mind to drive one of these.
Scott Jones 🤣
Yes Sir, my ol pal Tex said “ just slam your finger in the door a couple of times”. you’ll be mad enough to drive it right ......
sounds badass
Love it! Nice Truck! I have a 1972 GMC 2500 4x4 with the same set up, 4 speed with a splitter but the engine is 453N without Jakes for now.
That's super cool .... I have a 5/4 in my pete , getting ready to go with a small cummins 350 and a 15 speed , and yes I plan on keep the auxiliary for fun and challenge ,
Damn that's a nice sounding diesel!
Ahhh, now that’s the music to fall asleep with!
Awesome!! Finally somebody driving a twin stick not just puttin around. Great video man!
I'ts been a long time since I've heard a screaming gmc or ( jimmy), I enjoyed that very much it takes me back to the truck I first learned on in 1980.....
The instant I heard it rev before it shifted i knew it was a Detroit Diesel
gotta love the sound of that 2 stroke
Learned to drive in an International M series with a 6-71 and twin four speeds, love that truck.
love the sound of the screamin demon and nothing beats a twin stick!
Why they even put a radio in this rig is beyond me
Holy cow this thing sounds sooo gooooddd
I love all the you tube twin stick cowboys. All the one I see on here have power steering. It was a lot tougher without power steering back in the day. Most old trucks never had it.
When I started driving I was given the choice of an International with a 549-v8 w/5×3 or International R-190 with a 450 in line 6 ,w/5×3 and powersteering. I took the power steering because it was easier to split shift with your arm through the steering wheel.
2 stroke diesel.... dang! Badass awesome sound. I love it..
That's it, im buying an old rusty GMC truck!!!!
Its my dream!!!!!!!!1
ooooh boy those things are a pain. once you drive a modern truck youll never EVER want to drive this
Awesomeguy Dole Sarcasm is a silent weapon my friend...
....
Awesomeguy Dole Rekt
um not really
PBR cap on the dash is awesome.
Gotta love 2 stroke Detroit Engines, got a '86 Freightliner with a Silver 92 Detroit with a double 9 over transmission
Luv luv luv it! Good build dude!!!
I would love to learn how to drive this. I want a truck like this to cruise around town and make a bunch of racket with the jakes while I hang a big middle finger out the window!!!
Would love to drive one of these!
These were the best transmissions.. amazing power!!
I can't stop coming back to watch. Can't wait to build something Detroit powered
I love detroit diesel engines. It is more than engine of word, l think.
This have very power, and the sound as a synfoni...
No time to fool with a phone in that truck.
Amazing! From the sound to the "Johnny Cash doing the finger" on the stick shift! ;D
I love this video, don't know a lot about trucks but this is quite enjoyable
sounds amazing
sounds like a boosted civic with like 400+ horsepower.
i've never heard such a slow vehicle sound so fast!
GMC just oozes pure, raw POWER
I can watch this over and over again it's so Awsome and fun👍😎
this really reminds me of the opening scenes from the 2nd Smokey and the Bandit movie, where he is racing his truck around that famous racetrack.......
Sounds awesome! Did I hear some double clutching? Nice. Seems like the hardest part about driving that thing is remember which damn gear you're in lol.
actually, that is not a complicated setup. The red shifter is the splitter. The ball shifter is the gear selector.
my old man taught me how to doubeclutch with twin stick fuller transmission long time ago.i ws 15 or so. it was an old truck from the 50s with a great Perkins diesel engine in the front . i loved to drive it. it is not that difficult, it is also about feeling. not just stamping down that pedal and jerk it into another gear.big fun to drive though. i still do it in my car, although completely unnecessary, but old habits die slowly i guess..
actually the hardest part to me was always down shifting at first revving the engine to lose speed thru me for a loop for a week
Stephenie Grenoble bit late but couldn’t get over your ignorant comment, they didn’t say anything about the setup as it’s quite obvious what it all does. When driving the hard part IS remembering what gear you’re in, especially if you haven’t driven it before and can’t telling by looking at or touching the left shifter..
SAME...one of my fav videos on TH-cam
The harmony of the Detroit and turbo spool is beautiful.
Gotta love the sound of the old 2 stroke Detroit's
That is a mad truck
Turbo spooling mixed with the 2 stroke is just hours of music 🤘🏻
Drove a 5 x 4 x 3 3 stick in the early 70's, hauled heavy equipment. Most of the time starting out the only way to upshift up was with the jake. I'll never forget
I love the radio below the gauges, as if unless engine off you could hear anything less than a Howitzer going off.
That Detroit know it sounds good.
wow love this one dam nice
Gotta love a set of clubs.... that was .music to my ears.
Drove an old ford rig,hi rpm and that killer sound!
Sounds like a Trabant :D
Felipe Valenzuela yeah it’s the 2 stroke
this is the most beautiful sound i have ever heard ahahahah ohhh my
th-cam.com/video/PkCn4UDA_bM/w-d-xo.html
Wow sounds really nice the truck with the Detroit diesel...!
Back when men were men... GREAT video.
yES SIR
WOODEN SHIPS AND IRON MEN
WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND WOMEN WERE GLAD OF IT
sounds like a old 453-T....mean engine!
detroit.yup listen to that rpm
Is it a gasoline engine?
TJ McClary
2 Stroke Diesel
Ah
and in this case truboed.
The Scream'in Jimmy! Great Video!
