Straight piped Series 60 Detroit singing in the rain

**THIS ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE A JAKE BRAKE, SORRY**
Hauling recycled ABC back to the yard, pulling a very old tandem end dump that doesn't like to stop very well LOL. The grinding you hear when splitting gears is from the splitter valve not moving like it should. I just repaired the high-low range valve, need to fix the splitter next. Hopefully just some worn out o-rings.

I love a pre-EGR 12.7. Definitely in the top five highway diesel truck engines ever made.

12.7 ans 855 cummins top 2

[@KaedeAnimation]

I’m surprise people still like the DD60 despite they are not being 2 stroke anymore like a 6V92

[@DetroitDiesel60]

You say top 5 I say top 1

[@DieselFuelOnly]

this truck was actually an 11.1L... not a powerhouse by any means but it sounded good!

[@christineluke6429]

I like the old standard steering wheels.

[@RyanWilson876]

That thing sounds HEALTHY !!

[@Darth-Nihilus1]

I’m happy to see that you turned off the Jake brake in the rain. They told us not to us it in the rain while we are driving the fire trucks because it can make it unsafe when stopping and it could cause the vehicle to wreck

[@thebandit979]

The truck he is driving does not have Jake brakes and I have heard from experience old school truck drivers that you can use Jake’s in the rain you just can’t use it on ice

Sounds like a beast! I’m building a Volvo 880 glider kit, has 2 straight pipes! When it’s done you should check out how it sounds !

[@thebandit979]

I know this an old comment but what motor did you put in it I did not even know Volvo offered Gliders

I would like to introduce myself to all you truckers and how I am. I worked at Detroit Diesel for 30.6 tears and I know both the 2cyl and the Series 60. I assembled and tested both of them. I was the only one that had a master mechanic's licence for Series 60.

I have a cat and 12.7 liter I can say cat has more power

[@JimmyCasket02]

It’s a larger engine I’d hope it has more I bet the Detroit gets better mileage though
