Woa, that was scary. I thought they were going to get a good video of the bottom side towards the end there. That guy should definatly be more careful next time. Ben

No, no, no, no! That's terrible! A quiet Detroit is like a dry river. Ben

Here's my second favorite: And the best part: Ben

Yea, happy birthday! My birthday was yesterday and it was great. I hope yours was great too. Ben

Yea, I really liked that truck too. It would have been my favorite, but it had mufflers on it, and was so quiet that I could hardly even hear it running. But you could hear that pete even if you covered your ears. Ben

At least there's one other smart one out there. Ben

No, I (sadly) saw all the cummins and caterpillar powered trucks too. Ben

Seriously though, what is up with this whole "Tetrapoid Gears" thing? There's a casting on the side of our Duplex that says that. I've always wondered what it means. Ben

General Lee? What General Lee? Ohhh, there's a car there. Hmm. Ben

Yep, were pretty nice, as long as you don't say you like peterbilts then we'll have to start yelling at you. But it's a pleasure to meet you and I'm glad to see you getting involved. Ben P.S. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about Detroit Diesels, I'm the one with the obsession of all things Two-Stroke.

It was pretty simple. The next time I'm at the shop, I try to make a video showing the procedure. Ben

I absolutely love that movie. You're correct, the Green Goblin has an 8V92 in it. The day after we watched it, I was walking down the driveway to get the mail, and our Chevy Traverse started up with nobody in it. I about died. Turns out my dad was using the remote start so it could warm up because it was cold. But is scared the $#!/ out of me. I sure do love the movie though. Especially the red B model that was doing 85 miles an hour. Ben

Yea, I'm with my cousin on this one. I'm going to save myself the trouble. Ben

Yea, I'm with you on that one. I can still tell diesel pickups by their sound though. I just can't wait to hear my 8V71 run. Tuesday is my 14th birthday, and hopefully we'll get to give it a crank then. Ben

Yes indeed, that was the case. Ours has been repowered at some point by this foriegn pile of parts. But it runs good for now, so we're going to leave it in there. Ben

Yep, I'm with ya. Ben

Looks good, Cousin. I'm kinda worried though, your U might be on the road before our B60. I don't know, but it will be close. Ben

I had an awesome time at the show for sure. I took a whole bunch of pics and video. It was great meeting some of you guys in person too. One thing bothered me though: the blue B70. My dad was really serious about buying it. The current offer was $4500. We were like back and forth and my dad finally told the guy $5000 cash deal right now. The guy said he had one more guy that wanted to hear it run, and if he didn't have a better offer, we got it. Well, we never got a call back. I saw it leave behind the orange wrecker and I told my dad. He called the guy and said, "Hey, I saw you sold it, what did it sell for?" the guy said $5000. My dad was like "Well jeeze man, that was my offer!" I don't know exactly what the guy said, but it wasn't a good answer or an apology. That was really weak, and it made us really mad. If any of you guys bought it please let me know, so I know it at least went to a good home. But oh well, I had a good time and that's what really matters. I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!! Ben

Awww man, I thought for sure this was going to be a thread about a Detroit. I'm dissapointed. Ben

This is what I want my 8V71N to look like: Ben

Ben

Good idea. My dad takes his ex-UHaul GMC C6500 box truck to get his perks redeemed. Ben

But won't 72U685ST be there with his? Last year, I only saw 1 Two-Stroke in the whole show, we were very dissapointed. Hopefully, there will be more this year. Cousin Ben
