we call it a screaming jimmy, in the old terex dozers and scrapers we put them under a load there would scream in the hills people could hear us 5 miles away
@@owell179 Yessir! I used to work in logging, and the skidders would have Detroits in them, and you could definitely hear where ever they were at now! It's just like you said, you could hear them for miles. I love Detroits, they're a very tough diesel engine. They can take way more abuse than most others, and the more you make em scream with a good load, it's like the more they like it! They're made to scream, not just lug around.
I know that road . It’s the start of Cape Cod, right along the canal. There’s the canal on the right. I spent a lot of time fishing there. Good memories.
Completely just freaked me out, been watching diesel vids amongst many others on TH-cam for years I just happened to come across this on accident.... as you were driving and came to the rotary (well old rotary) I was like whoa! Head of Bay Rd... Haha I liked off Lake drive for 12 years....... Throwback
A few hemmts I've driven had a few Detroit diesels in them. I'm not much of a diesel guy but damn do they sound amazing. I'd love to do a swap like this. Good job.
ClassicTVMan1981X I thought they only used the fuel pinchers? There was a company called Fabco that made trucks for field harvesting that used this engine and the ford 390 or 391too
That's a great convertion. I'm gonna do a cummins on my 84 chevy. But for now I've got a 6.2 diesel im gonna try to mate a farmall 1206 turbo on it with dual straight pipes
I have a 83 short bed reg cab Silverado in one of my barns that's 80% and I would like to put a Detroit 2stroke in it with twin stick tranny just for the hell of it. I have s-10s big block and small block strokers and ls turbo motors. Which are fun. But never had a screaming jimmy powered truck other than my dad's old semi.
Damn that's a wicked beast! Do you still have that truck? Would love to see it in person. I'd definitely like to figure out how to put a Detroit in an old Square Body.
That thing is Fuckin Bad-Ass, there ain't no body nowadays that will appreciate them ol' Jimmy's, there to busy whining about not knowing what bathroom to use! 😆👌
@@joparsons20 53 series will take 3k, more if you put stiffer valve springs in. I’ve got a 6v53 from a fire truck that’s governed at 3300rpm no load max. It’s nasty sounding up there...
I'm looking to Detroit swap a square body truck but does anyone have any idea what trans I can use? Needs to bolt up to a 6v53 and have a transfer case, also needs to be manual.
Had one in a 82 straight axle 1-ton square body best I got was 17 bought it from a friend whose cousin did the swap best he got was 19 with the 353 gear ratio what kind of fuel mileage are you getting and this truck only had a straight four-speed transmission

The old screaming jet
I thought that profile picture was hank jr for a second hahahaha
The idle sounds so awesome!!
Got one of these non-turbo 453’s in a railroad brush cutter track machine. Wakes everybody up when we’re behind houses on the tracks!
Love how clean that gauge cluster is installed
Who needs a stereo..lol
Damn i just said that before i saw your post!!!!
You won't be able to hear it anyway! 🤣
That turbo is the cherry on top
Alan Cutting, no kidding! This thing is awesome!
Its the Blower
mr G No, it absolutely isn’t.
@@Icutmetal yep I can hear it
It's both. The blower scavs the turbo boosts
This thing sounds excellent! What a magnificent machine.

Truck sounds proper.
Appreciate it!

Love the sound of those old detroits
I would drive it everyday just for the awesome sound!
Thank you!
Grew up out that way. Haven't been there in about 6 years. Rt6 from Bourne.
great idea keeping and using the transmission
I hauled coal in a Ford v8 Detroit back in the 80,s...my hearing is just now coming back...but the grin in my face is permanent! Lol..
This makes my 4bt Cummins k5 blazer sound like a weedeater lol
Charlie that’s a truck to be jealous of though. Probably gets better mpg than the new trucks and will definitely outlive them.
Best sounding engines ever IMO
As a kid there was a sawmill down the road from us with the wind in the right direction we could've hear those jimmies screaming allday sometimes
That turbo! Love it!
Screaming its head off. I like that sound.
Only 2500 rpm !
@@gruntabro1 Which sounds like 5000 for a 4-stroke!
Damn that's a cool sounding diesel
I use to have one of these in my railroad pettibone speedswing
That thing is sweet. Sounds beautiful.
Thank you!
I love that sound.... what GM needs to do is put in a stereo with this sound....
I love this sound!🥲🥲🥲
That is awesome having that engine in a pick up truck😀
i recognize that area...i'm in new bedford...nice sounding truck
Here I am in a rabbit hole of 453 videos, I did not expect to see the cape cod canal lol
That is a beast!! Love it!
That's a nice interior in that square body.
Thanks! It's getting to the point where it need a little rehab
Love that two stroke Detroit song.
Very cool sound, that is a sound I'll never hear in south africa unfortunately
Damn! Love that Music! 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻
Got the ol double D sounding crisp ol son. Dodge Detroit!!!!!
Awesome Detroit
That downshift is fucking BEAUTIFUL
This engine configuration (5047-5340?) actually was used in some 1978-80 Chevrolet C65 (C70 in 1979) and GMC C6500 (C7000 in 1979) medium duty trucks.

sounds like it can pull anything.
Was this filmed in Buzzards Bay MA?
Best "Detroit in a pickup" video on TH-cam. Tuned well, idles properly, and the driver can drive. Would like to see under the hood.
That truck sounds awesome. What type of transmission are you running?
Looks like maybe a nv4500 or something like that I know you can’t put a 18 speed in 😂
Wonderful
What kinda sound deadner did you use, I can here the radio at idle?
Cooooolll😍😍😍😍😍
god damn i want one
have you thought about putting this build on a dvd? I've go a 85 C30 2 wheel drive I'd love to do this to
My mind is boggled looking at the tach because it sounds like 9k RPMs lol
What trans is that? Sounds like its not synchronized? I like!
Looking into doing this to my 73 chevy k10... What's needed???
What transmission, clutch, bell assy did you you use with the engine?

Is this off 6e on the cape in Mass? Nice truck👍
If I got this figured correct, you're turning about 2000 rpm's at 50 mph ? Truck sounds awesome !
Right about 50 mph at 2000rpm in 4th gear. Drops to 1700rpm in 5th at 50mph. 2000rpm in 5th is pushing 55-58 mph
