At least they are using a real Detroit diesel engine.
:-)

God wish the truck I drive had a 2 cycle diesel engine to hear it scream
instead of the boring 4 stroke sound! :-(

And screan they do. I sat on a supercharged GM detroit diesel chamberlin
super 90 tractor from 10 years old to 17 with no hearing protection
what-so-ever or cabin...sometimes 12 hour shifts as the family farm took its
dying breaths. I can still hear a gunshot within 8 feet if its on my right
side & do notice 747's lower than 1000 feet.

You sure it wasn't the AC/DC cassettes ? :)

lol ! couldnt hear them above the donk. Seriously it was a 3 cyl & it
literally screamed its lungs out. I doubt a louder engine was ever used in a
tractor.

Music to my ears like a Chev V8 at 10,000 rpm.

Sure it was supercharged?
AFAIK all the detroits used the roots blower for exhaust scavenging.

[Ext User(boris)]

bloody oath it was...371 sitting on it. Look at the shot on this site where
the donk is painted grey.

Maybe that is a roots blower ??? I assumed a 371 was a 'normal' blower.
