This is a symphony of sound to an old firefighter like me. Thanks, good memories.

That was General Motors version of the Chrysler air raid siren

Man those 53 series where noisy high pitched. Decades ago the city that I still live in today. A ready mix concrete company had cement trucks with the engines in the rear and the drum facing forward with a single 1 person cab on the left side. This one particular 4 lane main state highway I’d be going downhill and these ready mix trucks would be going uphill. They where loud , even with mufflers. The engine compartment consists of a radiator shroud , a top lid over the engine and a rear shroud other then thst the engines in this case where clearly visible from the sides. I found out later that they where 53V Detroits. I can’t remember if they where 6V or 8V but they where loud even with my windows rolled up. Them going uphill they where always fully loaded coming out of the batch plant. AW memories of times past.

Gorgeous Loadstar! Love the 53 series Detroits!

Just have to love a screamin jimmy....................

They can also do a million miles before an overhaul. Its got straight through pipes which I'm not a fan off . They can be set up in a way as not be as noisy.

sounds like a big block

Well a 6v53 is a petty big block. Only 5.2 Liters though... but it weighs about 1500lb.
