Now you see why the Detroit Diesels (Screaming Jimmies) have such a strong following. They were very popular for generators engines because you didn't have to run a block heater constantly. They could be cold, go from off to full throttle and stay there with no problems. It actually has a very interesting history. It was designed in 1936 by Winston Motor Cars and they tried to sell it to the US navy. Because you could run them wide open all day long (and the military don't care about fuel economy) the Navy bought them. Winston spun the engine off to a new subdivision of Winston called Cleveland Diesel and they started building engines for the military. Problem was, like willys, they were too small of a company to build enough so the Gov gave it to GM to build. GM gobbled up Cleveland Diesel and it became detroit diesel. Funny thing about the gov, you sign a contract for the military, you build the product but you also give them the rights to that product and design. This is how the jeep was moved from willys to Ford, and how the DD was moved from Cleveland Diesel to GM. There were a lot of machinations that took place for all of this to pan out but i kept it simple. Another interesting tidbit...with a kit you could make the DD tier 2 emissions legal. (Tier 2 is EGR... 1- cat, 2- cat/egr, 3- cat/egr/dpf, 4- cat/egr/dpf/scr (although, in many cases the scr is efficient enough to dump the egr system))

Cool story, but when GM purchased Winton Motor Carriage Company in 1930, they changed the name to Winton Engine Corporation. The design of the Two-stroke 71 series wasn't yet around then, It wasn't until later that it was designed by a group of GM engineers.

Interesting that you mention emissions controls, obviously 2 strokes are awful in the efficiency and PM department, but i'd imagine they'd produce far less NOx as a side effect. would be curious if someone actually took some measurements

I totally understand you Pete! This guy is amazing positive can do attitudes!

The reason your fuel went down so fast is because it's constantly pumping fuel through the injectors and back to the tank through the return line. Most of your fuel was going back into the old tank on the truck. Drove a Chevy just like that, same cab and engine, except it was a tandem dump and had the five and four-speed transmission setup like that International.

Always loved the way these sound running down the road, the exhaust tone is just bad ass.

An engine worth saving. I heard them back in the late 70's and early 80's on Blue Bird buses in my childhood years back in El Salvador. Great memories, those engines are music to my ears.

I use to drive a GMC General with a 6V92 and another with a 8V92. So much fun , sounds like your doing 200 mph. I also had a 97' 379 peterbilt with a series 60 Detroit diesel 500 HP, my friends had Cats and Cummins and would make fun of my Detroit but I got way better fuel mileage and while I couldn't out pull them I could definitely keep up.

When I was a kid there was a local company that delivered heating oil with a fleet of 6v53 C70 tanker trucks. I remember hearing those things screaming up the hill in our neigborhood. Scared the heck out of me back then, but I love that sound now!

Ditto! I hope you end up with that mill! ANY engine that is willing to start and run deserves another chance. Great video - you are the King of Pacing!!!

I had a smile on my face the whole time you were driving around..brought back alot of childhood memories..thanks Chris

great video, i lived in a 1952 gm bus motirhome conversion, i started the diesel engine every few weeks, it took off one time i about had a heart attack, i finally took a ten bolt plate off and used a rag to shut the air off, very scarey.

Those old Detroits were the reason my dad couldnt hear , but he syre loved them

Such a cool truck. If only it was in a little better shape, it could definitely be repurposed as something. I think it would make a really cool RV conversion, it would take a lot of money but imagine the way it would turn out.

I do love the sound of a Detroit Diesel . I own a uk spec Jeep Liberty 2.8 crd . The engine is / was built in Italy by a subsidiary of Detroit Diesel .

I drove a fire department rescue with that engine. There is no mistaking that sound. I loved that rig.

Great video,thought that thing was gonna implode in the beginning.well atleast if there were any living creatures in the engine or engine compartment,they were rocketed to the moon....lol

I think the reason it wouldn’t run was you released the intake trap door in front of the blower. You have to reset the latch and it would likely run. Update, I Just saw you eventually figured it out on the International, the 53 series engines are very simple.

AWESOME job do you happen to know anything about the mack E7 engines? I'm in desperate need of HELP. Thanks

Interesting factoid: While they are both owned by the same company and share interchangeable parts, Brockways are only known/marketed as such for the most part East of the Mississippi, but on the West of ol' Man River, they're known by the more common name of Mack Trucks.

29:25 Nailed it! I was yelling at my computer screen.

Just in case you didn't know, you can buy a water-sensing paste that you can put on a piece of steel rod or a tape measure and stick into a fuel tank and it will tell you exactly how much water is in a fuel tank. It is like a crayon, only a bit softer, and you just smear a little onto the end of a tape measure and stick it into the fuel tank and the water will turn it red. The paste is usually yellow, don't know if there are other colors. That could save you from having to crawl under and pull a plug or open a petcock to see if there is water.

Hey man, Great Video! I absolutely LOVE Detroit Diesels! I drove a fire engine with a 6V92T in it for years and that thang ran like a scalded ape! I sure hope you're able to acquire the motor and reinstall it in a project of your own! I really enjoyed the tidbit at the end with the Loadstar too, that smile on your face was priceless!

So excited every time these videos pop up

Back in the early 2000s i worked for a shortline railway in New Illinois and a farmer part time....he had a C70 as a tractor and i used it often hauling grain .....was a die hard truck stacked upto anything new at the time.

You my friend are a true motor whisperer 😮

Loved this series. Been there done that once with the shutoff valve!

You gave that 2 stroke diesel the beans my brotha! It sounded very healthy and it rapped out like an actual 2 stroke ATC 250R! Kind of any way. I'm very interested to see what happens to the old hauler! Honestly, I hope it is going to be saved and put back to work🙏🇺🇸

Chris! I am hooked on watching your videos! So Far my favorite is the Fury Wagon and will go back & Watch again. In 1979 (long ago) I bought a 67 Belvedere 2 Door, with the 318 for $100. Got it going and did some floor board repairs and added new carpet. Then I sold it. Wish I would have kept it...

Glad to see you got the motor to run. I hope the owner just lets you keep the motor for your effort since he was just going to cut it up for scrap. Maybe you can work out a deal to help him dispose of the truck's body and frame and keep the motor for free or maybe flip the owner $100.

I am going on a memory lane trip, watching you and I hope that you are able to get it running. I wish I could get a motor like that also that run.

That is so badass!! I love the old 2 stroke Detroits, wish I could have a rat rod truck with a 6v53 in her

So sad to see this working 6v53 go to the scrap.

2-stroke Detroit Diesel. The most beautiful noise in the world !!

Very cold blooded motors I have a Detroit on my wood chipper it's a 50yr old motor and runs mint

On a Detroit the rack is in the full throttle position when not running then the governor idles it when it starts. Put a pair of vise grips on the rack tube in idle position then fire it. There usually is an emergency shutdown flap over the intake and the blower shaft sometimes will round off but you can pull the blower shaft out and put it in backwards temporarily and it’ll run fine. Happened to me on shrimp boats many many times

You can smell the video when you opened that drivers door. Brings back so many memories.

The Detroit 53 series two cycle diesel was introduced in 1957. Although the engine used a roots type blower like its larger 71 series counterpart, it's classified as a naturally aspirated engine. Rather than being used strictly for performance reasons, the blower's purpose was to facilitate scavenging in the cylinder during the exhaust stroke. A turbocharged version of the engine, which still utilized a blower for scavenging, was offered beginning in 1977. "53" refers to the fact that, regardless of total engine displacement, each cylinder displaces 53 cubic inches.All 53 series diesels, regardless of displacement, feature a 3.875 inch bore and 4.50 inch stroke. It was offered in 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder and 12 cylinder configurations. The 8 cylinder version was primarily used in marine applications, although it was much less popular than the marine 8V-71. The 12 cylinder version is extremely rare and was reportedly only produced for 1965 to 1968 model years; it is rumored that under 25 of these engines were placed into service. This likely because the larger 12V-71 was more apt for applications that required an engine in this horsepower range and could manage the spacial restraints of a long, 12 cylinder engine. The 12v-53 produced just over 400 horsepower, where as the 12 cylinder 71 series produced a minimum 450 horsepower and up to 900 horsepower. The "silver 53" series was introduced in 1984. Modifications to the engine family promised better fuel economy, quieter operation, and more horsepower across the board.

Really appreciate your persistence. And more puppy!

Hey Chris this brings back so many memories of my dad he drove a truck like that straight job that's what they called a box truck like that he worked for a moving co called Anderson Benson and he worked for another moving co called JJ sullivan they were a division of Mayflower mover's he did that from 1949 until 1973 he told so many interesting stories of those days moving people those trucks were used for piano moving my dad used to work a lot in New York City and he would tell me about the days of having to lower pianos from third floor apartments using block and tackle and they would load the pianos into a truck just like that they were called piano vans I thought I would share that with hope you find that interesting because these videos are so very interesting keep up the good work Chris I love these videos

LOL the moment you left the valve covers on and never checked for stuck injectors i knew it would run away keep up the great entertainment.

Lol that towing was gold. I flat towed 2 IH Loadstar 1600 grain trucks a good 40 miles w/ a home made tow bar and a duramax. I steered the grain truck and the duramax was pulling/brakes lol. Man id do about anything for an old 2 stroke Detroit. I want a 471 or a 6VXX really bad.

Your videos are great. Don't sweat it, shorter videos with "cliff hangers" are fine. That's how you "keep em comin back for more". If you ever make to Alaska hit me up and we can take my river boat out and kill some salmon. It's kind of like the air boat you have. Its a cobbled together 21' aluminum smoker craft inboard jet with a 2.0 chrysler but it runs like a beast. Sure it leaks but as long as you go forward and keep the pump running its all good. Not really worried about sinking it in rivers that are only a few feet deep, you can always just run it up on a gravel bar or the shore if it starts gettin "nautical". I'm gonna try flex seal and see how that stuff holds up.

Nicely Done!

They're amazing old engines and the sound of them in by far my favorite
