Very ecstatic to see this pop up in my feed! I'm a huge fan of Detroits, they are actually made a few miles down the street from me, and are still an option in Freightliners and other units today. Also very cool to see the old EZ Pack, I've never actually come across one in my years of filming.
Holy freaking Detroit! Man oh man! Words can't describe how unbelievable this monster is! When I saw that this beast had a Detroit diesel in it I was like "You've got to be kidding me! No freaking way!" Sounds like this one has the 6-71 inline 6 cylinder engine. What year is this beast? Is this beast still around? If so, please film it again, but be sure to get plenty more takeoff shots with several gear shifts. I really want to see more of this beautiful Detroit powered Volvo/WhiteGMC!
Wow! Very interested in that Roto Pack too... But as I'm sure most people who watch my videos knows, I am a BIG two stroke Detroit fanatic. I can't get enough of that melodious tune it makes especially when it's taking off from a stop and ramping up through the RPMs to get up to the speed of traffic.
Great hearing that old 2 stroke detroit. Shame they are a dying breed that gave way to the 4 stroke electronic engines we have now. Detroit does still make engines but unless it's in a freightshaker you're not going to get one
Awesome video! So glad you were able to find such a classic like this one. Are you sure this wasnt a White/WhiteGmc? Anyhow it sounded amazing and really cool how they used the winch on the larger dumpsters. What other classic rigs does this company run?
SoCalGarbageTrucks thanks! I actually don't know as the name plate was up lol. I saw that diagonal bar across the grille and thought Volvo. Who knows. Thanks for the comment! Oh and also the run original Labrie exerts, roto packs, and Leach rls.
+Northwest Garbage Trucks not all WhiteGmcs have the badge above the grille, especially on these WX-42s since the slot above the grille is narrower than WX64s. Also, Whitegmc grills have the thin diagonal bar across, while nearly all Volvos have a thicker bar with the Volvo badge in the center. My guess this was a WhiteGmc especially with the blue emblems below the door instead of the Volvo or Xpeditor emblem
Wow, this is awesome! Great catch, glad you documented this truck before these went extinct!
Refuse Trucks of the East Coast I'm glad to. It was fun to film

MrBillT haha yeah I love the sound as well. I've never heard one in person until now, but it sounds fantastic. Thanks for the comment!!!
You've never heard one in person before? That's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that. Well at least you finally got to hear one before they were all gone.
MrBillT im in love with the old detroits aswell. all i can say from driving one regularly is its prety dand deafening in the cab 😂
Nice work isaac! This truck is so cool, to bad they are replacing it ://
Simco Barker TrashTrucks they are replacing this???? think theyd sell it
gotta love a screamin demon!
Correct me if I'm wrong but it could be equipped with the 6L71TA or 6V71N Detroit Diesel engine with the HT740 Allison Transmission

6L71TA and 6V71N are 7.0 liter engines only different inline six and V6 engines including the 9.0 liter 6V92TA Detroit Diesel is a V6 engine

SoCalGarbageTrucks interesting. Well you might be right!
SoCalGarbageTrucks its a White. I have picture of this truck from years ago on my Flickr
SoCalGarbageTrucks haha I guess it is a White. Thanks!!! I'll change that rn!
Back when garbage trucks were loud noisy smelly bad ass machines
That belted black smoke and literally took out the trash
this truck use a city bus engine, i think a 6v92
6V-92 seems legit. It has a similar takeoff sound as the MCI buses of my childhood.
MCI Classics?
