h67st Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 One of the best sounds in the world!! I like Mack engines better but a 2 cycle sounds cooler. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/59778-1965-b615-mack-with-two-stroke-v8-gm871-bird-scarer-engine/#findComment-435637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Freightrain Posted November 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2019 Love my Ingersoll starter! Was at diesel drags last week and had guys come over and ask what kind of starter i had. They never heard of an air starter. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Not really, though I was trying to hit it when someone was close by LOL!!! With all the other trucks running nearby the noise kinda muffled it, as I do have a muffler on it. I did take the muffler off once, at our local truck show weekend just to make more noise with it. At home I leave it on, when I have to leave early I don't want to annoy the neighbors too bad. Curious as to that cooler also? Don't see any a/c inside. My thought is oil cooler? Seems to have "smaller" hoses going to it, like oil lines. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
