    You guys have to return and give it some filters and fresh fuel. I'd love to see that old truck drive out of its grave and I'm sure everybody else would too. I was a little nervous when you fired it up because I thought if you didn't pull the valve cover and check the injector rack and it's stuck, it's not good! Luckily it wasn't so it didn't grenade the motor. I used to drive a 1978 White Road Boss with the same motor back in 1992 for a guy I worked for. Those motors were loud and gutless, and the White was hot as Hades in the summer with no A/C, but some folks loved them. Other drivers hated that truck because she was straight-piped. When I would pull into a rest stop at 3 am to rest my head on the steering wheel, it would definitely wake some folks. I remember when the truck caught fire and I didn't shed a tear. I got a new to me replacement truck, a 1983 Mack R model with an aftermarket stereo and air conditioning! I was moving up in the world!

    8 v71 with a 13-speed in a single axle, that thing should run pretty good, along with being really loud. You should always make sure the injector rack is free on these two strokes a lot of times they will stick wide open when you try to start them and then look out

      Mack 350 was a better engine - but that Detroit sure had personality - don’t think any diesel

Ran Kansas City to Las Angeles turns for C F which as you can imagine no comfort at all but this was all we could use due to state bridge laws.

    I use to hate jacking those Freightliner cabs all the way over because sometimes when you got to the tipping point of the cab they would just flop right over when the cab jack wasn't working right. The push button is to override the Murphy gauge until oil pressure builds to the set spec. Can't believe that truck would have been 2 yrs. old when I worked on them. Been a diesel engine mechanic for 47 yrs.

    I was a kid when these were on the road. Used to see these all the time back when White owned Freightliner, before White went bankrupt and Daimler bought Freightliner. The COEs could turn in any tight spot, but they were unbearable in the summer due to the heat coming into the cab from the engine. But in winter, they kept you nice and warm. I miss seeing those Trucks on the road.

      @@mrt601you are on the right track. FREIGHTLINER built their own trucks from the ground up, same with their boxes and trailers. They entered a marketing and sales agreement with white motor company, that is when the White FREIGHTLINER logos showed up. The partnership ended in the late 70’s or early 80’s, I don’t remember exactly when. My dad had one similar to this one, 4 head lights, Cummins engine. I used that front grill door many times to check and add oil. The cab tilt system is the big handles release the cab locks, the small tee cable pulls a safety catch for the first couple of inches of rise.

    Drove a 59, a 61, 66, 71,73,74, some 80, somethings. Where you checked the rad cap, that’s the duct for the “ frontal air “ intake system. The air
    cleaner on a Cummins would be a heavy steel box mounted on top of the engine. It was rare to not find broken mounting brackets that hadn’t
    vibrated apart and didn’t need welding. I think that’s a 73 inch cab. Up in Canada, Kwickasair trucking ran a fleet of these from Vancouver to
    Montreal running team. 57 hours one way, 2750 miles. Lots of wrecks. The 66 I drove was a slab cab. It was an 8V 71 with N55 injectors. So it
    was rated at 280 hp. I pulled a spread 4 axle trailer with 84,000 lbs on the deck of glass windows. You knew where all the hills where.

    Might be lucky it didn't pick up fuel. Those detroits are super famous for the rack sticking and running away when started after sitting for any length of time. Its easy enough to check, just pop the two nuts off the valve covers and see if you can manually move the rack and also check and make sure that the injectors are hung wide open.

Very involving content; a mix of memories, wisdom and experience along with saving truck history. Thanks for posting and I very much look forward to the next one. The 8/71 was a very popular long haul engine in Australia during the 70s and 80s, usually with a 13 speed behind it through to double drives. Good on the flat, not much chop in hilly country. But just soooo loud. From South Australia.

We had a twin-stick 5 & 4 w/ a Detroit in one of our older tractors, and one Astro with a 318. The 5&4 had no jake. The rest did.

    On those Detroits I like to pop the valve covers and make sure the racks are free because all you need is a couple stuck open injectors to have some real fun and trying to shut down a screaming Detroit that's wide open get's the blood flowing and makes you know your alive LOL!

    It was fun watching you walking by the dip stick 20 times . And on the fuel cap pull up the tab first then turn . There a valve under the cab on the fuel line going between both fuel tanks that’s the cross over line it probably close so he can run on one tank . Pour fuel in the fuel filter and reattach there air in the fuel line maybe . Retired truck .

    I had not heard anything about 57' trailers in TX, and usually pay attention to truck stuff. I remember a year or so ago that Wal-Mart was going to a 60' trailer with some weird cabover, but I never heard any more about that. When I first got into the trucking business in 1979, the 45' 13'6" was a new thing. Damn. I just made myself feel old. (But you mentioned in the '77 Mack video that was the year you started your senior year of HS. So we're the same age.😄)

      Back in 1991 I was with a company called Fleetline out of Lancaster Tx and we pulled 57 foot dry vans across Texas Oklahoma Arkansas Kansas New Mexico and to Florida. We had to sneak across Alabama because they weren't permitted. Arkansas wanted a 24 hour permit also. Lol so we'd go around those scales frequently. There were actually a few that were pulling 57s around. Usually hauling lightweight bulk freight such as Owens Corning insulation out of Waxahatchie, Tx. The tail swing was the worse part of pulling them if your tandems were set forward... But always make sure to slide them all the way back before loading or unloading so that the landing gear wouldn't come off the ground when the forklift entered the trailer. Every one that I pulled were made by Wabash trailer company. Since then they kind of faded away. I haven't seen one on an interstate in decades.

    I had a 1975 mine had a bigger sleeper The lock switch on the dash was usually a front brake limiting valve and the 2nd start button came on the detroits some would squirter a shot of either because they were harder to start on cold days the 335 cummins would have a compression release down on the shift island that was nice also there's a door on the passenger side grille to check and put oil in it,I'd be amazed if it started because Detroits won't self prime you have to get all the air out of the fuel lines and filter its a real pain if they suck air..
