Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Don't we all love seeing these? Here's a place to see them run. I'll start off with this one showing many different trucks at an ATHS show,including good ole late Fred Craig's Cannonball (rest his soul):

I remember this guy last year at Macungie:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Jeez! This guy is lucky getting away with driving his Diamond-T on the wrong side...SHEW!!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's a great twin stick video:

One of my favorite Interior Shots.

Trans is a 10-Speed Road Ranger.


Bill

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Another good Interior Shot.

This is a Ford with a 6-71 and a 10-Speed RR.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Good ones. Thanks for showing them. Hey,I was thinking,did I already do a thread like this? Maybe it was before this section was made? I dunno. I was looking for pictures and found a video that I wanted to post. Doesn't hurt to do a good thing twice anyway

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Tim, I believe we just added videos to other threads, but didn't really have a video only thread.

I agree, nothing wrong with seeing them again, especially all grouped together.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I agree. That 12V-71 was always one of my favorites as well. I first heard it on an Audio only site many years ago.

BTW, I'm wondering why our YouTube Videos aren't posting up like they used to?

Here's a sweet long-nose rig:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

One more. Saw this when I found the other. This could be my new favorite:

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I read somewhere that the long nosed Freightshaker is the owner/founder of Werner Trucking's personal truck.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Pretty sure that's a Kenworth w900a.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

I stand corrected...I saw the colors and Detroit Diesel. I was thinking of their FL Classic with 16V-92 DD.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Here's that long hood Freightliner built for the owner of C.L. Werner (approx. 5:59)

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Bill, on your post #15, it was a security thing. If you post
a youtube that starts with https://... (note the "s" after http?)
it will post that way.
Take the "s" out and you get the preview screen.

Don't know why it works that way but I do know it does because
that's how I repaired post #15

There. You were confused now we are both confused. :)

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Thanks Ellen. Strangley I never had that happen before. Thanks for the explanation and the fix of the post as well.

Bill

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

16V-149 anyone?


Bill

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Detroit diesels are first in my bucket list.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That 6V-53 sounds exactly like and sure does remind me of my old '67 GMC 7500.

Here it is revised:


Bill

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Thanks for getting that video formatted correctly Bill. Love that truck.

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

What's not to love?

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

'70 9500 with a 6-71.

Poor quality video, but pretty cool sound:


Bill

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

Love the straight 6 Detroit. Could use a course on videography or is a very short feller

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

8v71 in a 150 ton crane

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

That cannonball in video #3 looks really weird to shift. Is that just an eaton with the shift tower way behind the driver?

That 6-71 video is awsome. That guy has thing pinned!

Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos
 

It's just a regular 10-Speed Road Ranger, it's really just the way he is shifting it. In my opinion, he is shifting it "old school". The younger generation would shift them faster, both on the Double-Clutch and the Shifter speed. If you use the Clutch at all. As mentioned before in different threads, I would always use the Clutch. I would Double-Clutch every gear up and down shifting. It allowed me to shift faster and smoother.

Can't get it to show on this one for some reason.

Y'all going to have to just click onto it again for it to work, lol.
