alex g Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 that is awesome I have to try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Haha, I thought it was too. Gotta be careful if your using an offbrand truck though, you might brake something. After the "Taking Off" scene, wind he winds her out just a little bit, it sounds like Goblin truck, from Maximum Overdrive. Does this sound live an 8v71? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkobes43 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I wouldn't mind having a truck like that. Love the long hood. Tom 1 Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I have done that in an E9 powered Superliner (not because I wanted too) if you look its on camelback and the fifth wheel is back behind the centerbeam so the weight of the trailer is pushing down on the rear of the frame lifting the front using the centerbeam as a fulcrum. Its still cool looking but now you all know how to do it, I did it on accident hauling a 20' container loaded with marble, it was freakin heavy and the older 20' chassis would get into your mudflaps if you didnt slide the fifth wheel way back so I learned that day just how far you can slide it and stay on the ground.

JumperAndSon Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Sounds like an 8V71 to me, but he was trying to score the liner in part of the vid and smoke the clutch in another part. Happy medium, dude! Detroits could pull the wheels empty. Just sayin.Thanks for posting Vinny, that's cool!Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 They're being pretty hard on that truck, It needs a deeper gear so it's not luggin as much. That is definately an 8V71N and it has no exhaust on it, just manifolds. But all and all, it's pretty neat.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 its got plenty of gear if they moved the fifth wheel up and stopped actin like fools it would drive just fine, some people do stupid things to make interesting videos and dont care what they break in the process. I am willing to bet that that truck has enough gear to take your foot off of the clutch and start that thing moving loaded without touching the throttle, but it doesnt make the front end go that high, if you pay atttention its barely creeping and at idle in one part of the video with the front end in the air looks to be in gear you can see it lurch up. You can do the same thing in a dump truck if you dont know how to spread rock or just like to play. 2 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that if it had a deeper gear (rearend or tranny) that you could wind it out and not pull the wheels up as bad.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
