JTFormula Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I remember that dude pulling in. That thing turned heads and was LOUD! JumperAndSon - If you need a good video converter without the water mark, Google "Any Video Converter" - That's the actual name of the program. Does what its supposed to do and you don't have some water mark going across the video the whole time. Best part is it's free.

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then come talk to me. When I was a firefighter at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard many moons ago, we had a Ward Lafrance/Maxim Ladder Truck with an 8V71 behind you........the noise was so bad that the Chief came out with an SOP that any firefighters riding in the jumpseats had to wear ear muffs.

BrianDzimitrowiczJr Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 my grandfather told me that in order to prepare yourself to drive a detroit you had to get into a fight with your better half in the morning then slam your hand in the door of the truck right before you get in. this way you were ready to listen to that mechanical asshole all day because you were already in a bad mood hahah 1 Quote Brian1959 B61T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Now Ben a note If you drove say a Mack Superliner with a 8v92 in it I could spin you around in the middle of the road with a V8 Mack and you would never even know what hit you. Now this here is a real Mack Superliner E9450 witha 12spd tranny. This truck will do 100 miles an hour!!!!!! Sorry it's my sworn duty to pick on the detriot guy !!!!!Thanks, Josh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
