NO!!😣 DONT just jam it into reverse when it grinds like that, always shift into first or second, then go directly into reverse. That’s even the best way to shift synchronized pickup truck transmissions into reverse.

As diesel mechanic, in my opinion, nothing puts a grin above your chin like a 2 stroke Detroit diesel does.

I worked for a company that had an old binder with a 6v71 in a barn. One day they decided to get it running and bring it in to wash it (it was actually beautiful, blue metallic with airbrushed mural on hood) It was out in the yard running and i pulled it in the shop. Owners two kids were in the shop and I made them cry when I revved it to the governor LMAO! The mechanic yelled at me for revving the old engine (it's a fucking two stroke) and other guy yelled at me for the kids breathing smoke. I got out and said "it even fucking smells good!" And walked away :)

10:52 A cheap way to have a diesel shutdown is to buy a ball valve the same size of the intake or add a butterfly throttle on the intake that operates reverse. When you close the valve/throttle the engine choke. You can also make some kind of linkage to operate it from the cabin.

I have heard of the 53 series Detroit engines used in sawmills with the governed RPM set to 3000 RPM or higher. This was done to get the Saw blades turning at the desired speed. I would have thought that this shortened the life span of the engine, but was told by a sawmill owner that they lasted as long as any other engine in a stationary setting.

I had a job for a good ten years, driving for a freight company on Martha’s Vineyard year round, that had an old 1983 GMC 4500 car carrier with a great tilt slide flatbed, with a winch, we used to move marine shipping containers around for storage. The truck was powered by the same 4/53 Detroit, with a granny low 5 speed and two speed rear. The truck was spect out for Highway and rough terrain applications, so the rear was also a locking differential that helped a lot off road, not like a front drive axle 4x4 would, but better than most 4x2 trucks, especially with the awesome mud&snow duals. That truck could move! Like 80 mph highway, but crawl through almost anything at idle. I remember delivering a good size (9,500lbs) loaf of 20’ rebar, all strapped together in two bundles. The builder asked me if I could back down the ramp in the foundation’s massive hole left by the excavation crew, for the foundation workers to be able to walk down with all the tools an materials. So I said no problem! I slowly back down, to about 15’ from the bottom of the long ramp, as the hole was 14’ deep! The ramp ended up at 50’ long! So I slid the bad back slowly, till all that weight being extended back behind the rear axle, lifted the front of the truck right up in the air! So all I had to do is climb out of the hole and make my way into the cab, very carefully from what ended up being the top edge of the hole, that was about 3’ from the drivers door! I was able to grab onto the mirror frame, jump over to the top step on the fuel tank, get the door open an slide into the drivers seat! It felt like I was popping a wheelie! I put the truck in low gear, locked the rear end, put my foot down on the fuel pedal and let my foot off the clutch! The site manager who was a friend of mine back then, who was really to take pictures, unfortunately there were no cell phones or Go Pro cameras back in 99, but he did get some great fast shots of me wheeling out of that hole! When the rebar finally dropped off the bed, the front end came DOWN! The truck sounded exactly like the truck in the video! Absolutely amazing!!! Going through the gears, splitting up through 8 gears at full throttle!!!

Nothing does a better job of turning diesel fuel into noise & smoke than a 2-Stroke Detroit. I love the sound of one.

So cool seeing old iron working. Love the sound of an old Detroit! Just found your channel.

I was raised on Detroit"s and my first truck had a 6 71. The emergency shutdown was a spring-loaded trap door on the block with a cable you pulled to pull a latch that caused the door to shut and stop the air flow. I never needed it but a friend who a bunch of old hands convinced him to mix gasoline into the oil bath air cleaner for a performance enhancement. He fell for it for it and that cable was the only thing that saved his engine. I guess he never soaked a rag in gasoline and stretched it over the air inlet to get a recalcitrant diesel to stsrt. It's a bit easier on the engine than starting fluid.

G Crauwels i worked with both air starts on ships and ones that dumped air into the cylinder to start.

I drove two road tractors that had 318s in them (8V71). There was a flapper door in the elbow going into the top of the blower that had a mechanical cable (like an old manual choke cable) which acted as the emergency shutoff. When needed such as a run away (they can also run backwards!) you just pulled the cable which released the door to drop down and block air into the blower, starving the engine. Nice little ride!

Old timers used to say you should never drive a 2-Stroke Detroit until you intentionally slam your hand in the door to piss you off at the truck. Lugging an old Detroit will kill them. Drive it like you stole it.

Great detail about the build is what makes it interesting. Story about the starter/rear tires/owner is what makes it relatable and entertaining. And how it interacts in everyday mundane things like a Tim's run. Honestly, I would love to see how/if he refines it, to make it more livable as daily. What benefit/drawback to taller gearing? Do the new shocks settle the ride? Where to put cup holders? How to improve engine performance? What other challenges he'll face.

Great idea. You could even connect an inerting CO2 cylinder using a kegerator-sized CO2 jug. I carry one with a pneumatic chuck on a 200 psi regulator for filling tires and running high psi impact wrenches (for a short time) in the field. Beats buying an expensive Power Tank.

Good call on the low pro super singles, a taller super single is like driving a boat down the road if you dont have a load on lighter trucks.

This is the kind of stuff we also want to see. Love those 2 stroke Detroits. I service generators and there are still a few around. I have seen in generators as small as 4-53's all the way up to 24v-71's. They have a unique sound and feel. I grew up around an area in Ohio with a lot of oil wells. There were always a lot of service trucks and well trucks with screaming 2 strokes going by my house. Love it!

My first diesel mechanic job out of tech school, was at a underground coal mine. A lot of the underground equipment was air start. If you were standing behind a scoop, and someone lit the starter off, it made you piss yourself ! We carried a nitrogen bottle with a regulator, to start them if the air reservoir was empry.

Theres something reallysatisfying about smashing the todos off the list when youre knee deep in projects.

Heh heh, nice rig! ...and yeah, you definitely have to slam your finger in the door before you drive it, so you're in the right frame of mind to keep the revs up to an acceptable level. Gotta remember, it's a 2 stroke, so when it sounds like it's ready to fly apart, it's just getting into the power band! I doubt you guys ever got over 2300 rpm the whole video, and those 4-53's will rev safely to 2900-3000 rpm without hurting them. You definitely need taller gears and a secondary gearbox or 'Brownie' to really make use of the torque band on these, since they don't really start making good power till 18-1900 rpm. At 2800 they sound like they're coming unglued, but they're actually at peak efficiency.😄👍 The quickest way to crack a cylinder liner on a Detroit is to lug it down under heavy load. The water pump(s) don't turn fast enough to keep the cylinders cool at low rpm, and also they don't make good oil pressure, so everything runs hot and starves for oil.😜 *EDIT* ...oh yeah, and get rid of that damned air starter and grab an electric starter off of a 6V-53 or even a 6-71 (clockwise rotation of course). They're about 1/4 the price, and you don't have to trash 1/4 of your bed space with that huge air tank to run the starter for 10 seconds. These little engines turn fairly easy, even in cold weather, so a couple of 27 series batteries in parallel are more than enough to crank it, especially if you have a block heater in cold weather. Just for sound comparison, here's an electric start 4-53T up on the pipe at a little over 2800: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oZ13p5WNeLLFgMo.html

Who said money cant buy you happiness ? Did you see the smile on his face the whole time he was grabbing gears !

. . . T H A T S O U N D T H O ! Do more of this . . . very entertaining and informative. That starter ain't no joke. That thing is LOUD !

2 stroke Detroit's always put that smile on everyone's face. There is also a real fun panic face everyone does when they run away the first time. This guy has it under control though with that nice bottle set up.

Love it. I learned to drive in a 9500 jimmy with a 671 and a 10 speed in the mid 70’s.

This is the type of starter that particular truck had equipped. Crazy!

I’d love to have one of those in a Bulldog 56 Chevy 3500 shortbed. With the front clip welded and braced for a Tilt front end with a foward and up sliding hinge. Backed up with a Eaton RTO-510 and a 14 bolt full floating axle. Tuned up from 300 hp to about 500 hp and a stock straight front axle. It would be wild. It would be great for short hauls with a 40 foot toy hauler.

Love this kind of stuff I hope to see more 👍👍👍👍

Ah yes that familiar sound!! I’ve spent thousands of hours behind or in front these 2 strokes 353t’s, 453t, 6v92t, 8v71&92’s and a few 12v71t’s. Almost all of our old railroad track machines, rail gangs, surfacing&tie gangs etc, had them detroit’s in them. I’ve got the hearing loss to show for it !!! Lol. Btw awesome job on the truck!

With many that had worked for a railroad on the MOW team when if a majority of the equipment was powered by the infamous line of Detroit diesels as if the railway also maintained a fleet of GMC fishbowl buses also Detroit powered when the few fail to mention the 4-71 and or the 6V53 to the 6-71.

The way I use the air start is to briefly "flick" the starter switch. It doesn't actually need to be operated for as long as most people think. With the E9 in a Mack Superliner, it was just a flick on and off (almost before the starter was turning and that was still plenty to get the engine started. If you run out of air in the starter tank, just dump a tire into the tank (need the fittings obviously)

Man what a cool truck! I'd drive that till the wheels fall off!

This is awesome. Bad ass truck and review. Rich did great driving too. I love the downshifts

Connect breather hose between air cleaner and turbo also when I worked on the boats the generators had electric starter on one side and air starter on the other If bell housing permits you could do this also use a 12 volt starter and 2 small 12 volt batteries with a 12/24 switch when starting it will give 24 volts to the 12 volt starter and it will spin it over fast enough to start with out 4 batteries.

This video put a huge grin on my face because I have an ol’ 1949 IH L-series log truck I am restoring in to a normal 5th wheeler, but I’m replacing the inline-6 gas engine with the Detroit 8v71, then I’m adding the *Banks power-pack, fuel-injection performance kit, the computer chip upgrade, twin hp turbo’s and the K&N air intake system, etc., just to keep-up with these newer trucks, but my truck does have the 2spd. Rear-end, it just needs rebuilt because it is slipping, and the lower gear no-longer works, so You get my point, but when this truck is finished, I will post a video of it. It’s an old yellow rig like this one is, but still has it’s stainless steel thankfully! Thanks for posting this, that sounded great!!👍🏽😁❤️👍🏽

When did an 871 have a computer?

Awesome build! I laughed my ass off at the clutch adapter - I'm playing that game right now, getting an IH 1 ton 5spd into a Scout II chassis. Maybe it's time to consider a couple of pulleys :)

I helped my friend's dad put a N/A 4-53 out of an old insley excavator into a 60 1 ton ford stakebed. you could burn the tires with ease.

This thing is one of my favorite. Can't beat a two stroke anything!

I helped a buddy rebuild a 64 Ford super major luckily his uncle was there when we started it for the first time and just happened to have a coffee can in his hand. You could hear the can slamming the intake over the screaming runaway diesel.

I'd love to see more of this truck

A natural blower would really help with bottom end power. That engine & trans is from a 79-81 c60 and they had that trans plus a 2spd rear to split gears. Theyre alot more fun when u can split it wont lug.

Thanks for the input ol2stroker! We had one of these in the shop 15 years ago but my experience is really limited so glad to have you watching!

These are all I do. I had one most recently in a 78 F250 4spd with 3spd aux behind it. Message me I'll shoot you my number you can pass it along to your buddy if he needs anything in the future. Sure coulda saved him some trouble with that runaway! lol

I would add a 12 volt air compressor to build up air pressure in case you don't have enough air to kick the starter over.

@Ol2Stroker

I thought about that myself as my current build is air start... it'd just drain the batteries before it could build enough pressure.

Quite a long time ago I went deep down the rabbit hole on how to get a 2 speed rear end into something like this and this is what I found. Most 2 speed rearends are huge (17000lbs up to 26000lbs rating) and the have extremely low gears (6.xx on the high end all the way to 8.xx on the low) because they where designed to have 42 inch tires on them and where trying to get a relatively small engine (think ford 300 6) to pull all that weight around. So I found 2 alternatives: a ranger overdrive that bolts on between the engine and trans, and a gear venders overdrive that bolts onto the back of the trans

This is only the second air starter I’ve seen. My dad had a truck with a Cummins that had the same setup. Was awesome in the winter... but only if you didn’t have an air leak. We had two extra 100 lb propane tanks converted to hold air to jumpstart the truck if it was away from the shop.

Awesome! I’ve got a ‘77 IH Loadstar 1700 grain truck and this has given me some ideas! When you can’t stop smiling you know the build was done well!

great video Those 53 series GM's are something you either love or hate I reckon and that one with a hair dryer hanging off it is quiet (believe it or not) We always say "ya drive em like you stole em" Any GM 2 stroke I have worked on has a flap on the inlet side of the super charger standard from the factory to shut them down incase they ru away. The flap is hooked to a cable to a knob on the dash that says something like "PULL FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN" abd this closes the flap and shuts the motor down instantly, works much better than the bottle of spray stuff and they come standard as far as I know like this so will be surprised if it doesnt have a flap Almost all Macks in Australia up until the late 90's came standard with air start and it is very reliable, the rotation is changed by indexing the internal stationary part of the starter A very cool little truck but not my cup of tea with a screaming Jimmy and a 53 series at that lol , need a good supply of ear plugs Old mate might look at getting some "Jake brake" solenoids for it , would make people look when rolling up to a set of lights lol Great stuff Rich and crew

Every two stroke Detroit Diesel you got to drive it like you're pissed off at it or it won't run right at all.

I respect anyone that can do that kind of work. That is a sweet as I love the sound of a diesel.

There is something about those old things that I just love. What a beautiful machine.

Love hearing about the trials and tribulations of the build. And the fact that the owner isn't a licensed mechanic makes the video that much more entertaining. very cool.....

I started smiling from the first "warning" and didn't stop. A real truck more because of the way and who built it as opposed to being a certain size or make. Exactly right that this is what "it" is supposed to be all about, the passion, please keep them coming! p.s. I think you will need to be careful (a) it doesn't become the shop truck, (b) that this passion doesn't cross the line and you become overrun hording projects yet to be done/completed.

This isn't my build, but we love showing what's out there. We are trying to show that anything is possible, especially with the internet and all its information. I have to think about the next project before the current one is finished. I won't take on any more giant ones like the Merc or GTO but I do like gathering parts as they come available and lining things up. I hope you don't get that impression from me. Stefan on the other hand.....

Not being your build is important since your joy at the "what" and "whom" still shone through, something I struggle with...think I understand the need to line things up as well as the gathering. What I may not fully understand or appreciate is how much goes through your shop, the line between what is a "project" and what is just interesting work that you give us the benefit of viewing can be blurry.

I'm late to the party, but the truck I grew up driving on our farm is a GMC Brigadier with a Cummins 350 big cam that has an air start. It sounds a lot different from this one, It's louder, it sounds like it spins slower, probably quite a bit bigger. It was a LOT of fun scaring people with that thing.

Detroit Diesel putting smiles on faces for decades!! Awesome build....

Nice ih love the sound of old Detroit motors
