Also he welded the front fender to the hood and grill, then hinged it all with a counter weight so the hood flips forward like a semi...and it had stack like little red express lmao.

I once pulled in to a fuel station in the early evening, right after a woman in an suv pulled up and took the combination gas/diesel pump. The only other was out of order and the rest was gas only. Pulled back in behind her with the diesel idling. She looks at me a couple times likes “what’s this asshole doing”? There are 17 open gas pumps, 1 suv in the gas station using a single solitary pump and the only other vehicle is waiting behind her. Keeps looking at me periodically while I just sit there looking at all the open gas pumps. Then a duramax pulls up, sees the out of order pump, circles around and queues up right behind me. 2 diesel pickups sitting there idling behind her while she’s the ONLY person fueling at this empty gas station. She looks real confused now somewhat uncomfortable, definitely uncomprehending. As she was leaving a 3rd diesel pulls up and does the same thing. Basically he was pulling in the back of the line after circling as she was finishing up. She looked so confused though and add to that the 3 of us were in total understanding and chuckling about the situation to ourselves. I snapped a photo that captured my position in line with my rear view showing the line of diesels; through my driver window you can see 17 open pumps and windshield her suv at the sole occupied pump. I really don’t think most people are that aware of their surroundings. I bet she still doesn’t know what happened.

Thanks, the 4-53T is tuned at the moment to about 210 HP and 450 FTLBS of torque. The plan is to slowly increase this to 250-270 HP and 525 fTLBS of torque. The Power is a lot less than the 6.4 of 350HP and 650 Torque. I don’t miss the power and am much happier with the Detroit. I run this engine around 1800-2200 rpm and will pull down to 1600 before shifting. Max torque is rated at 1500 rpm, so it’s still happy at 1600.:). Thanks for watching.

Just curious, I didnt see the build or any of your other videos. Somehow I just stumbled across this one but how come you didnt go with a 6v? It should fit I would think..? I cant imagine its all that much bigger than the v10? My work truck has the v10. I'm not a ford guy at all, 100% GM family but I'm pretty happy with this truck. I've had it since brand new. I have a hackney 18 foot insulated aluminum body with 4 side doors and 1 rear. But its tall, sticks up a good 3.5 feet above the cab and I'm generally around 15k lbs so..back roads it does a real good job on hills. I can usually pluck off a few ass draggers in the truck lanes. On the interstate I run it at 80 because its right at peak power when I need it for a running start on the big hills because of the drag of all that box above the cab. You really notice it at those speeds but even though I'm wide open throttle, it generally hangs in high gear pulling those hills unless its a real steep long one and when it shifts down at 77 once I'm back up to 83-84 I back off to make it shift and stand back in it but its the 16 with the 5 speed. It needs a spoiler of some sort but I havent found one. Hopfully have my boss talked into a new duramax for my next one. If not a GM then a diesel ford at the very least. Give that a try.

O.O I just stumbled upon this... how in the holy fuck did you get that thing to run without throwing a fit constantly and with the trans working right?! That is amazing... wonder what kind of mileage it gets. I've been wanting to build a regular old pickup with a 8V71 in it because I figured if they old semis with it got 10mpg, something maybe 1/5th the weight or less should at least get high teens if not 20's while still sounding cool. That's the thing I love the most about the old Detroit 2 strokes is the sound and just the amazing engineering. I remember being up at my grandparents as a kid in the 90's and hearing the logging trucks coming 10 minutes before they got there and 10 minutes after they left as they went up the hill or back down it. Those engines are one of the coolest pieces of engineering ever.. and they were surprisingly good on fuel and emissions.. I still think it wasn't smog emissions that killed them but the noise emissions. I just subscribed, this is too interesting for my autistic mind to pass up. Oh and one piece of advice, try mounting your camera to the stick of your rear view mirror, it's what I did in my Bronco I had with a little piece of bent sheet metal and a brake like holder clamp and it worked great... so long as I remembered to have the steady shot on and stayed off of super bumpy gravel roads. (video is on a different account)

Thanks, I sometimes mount the camera with a middle seat view and that works pretty nice.:) I used the Ford 5R110 and the Ford PCM/TCM to get the trans to shift. I tuned it with HPTuners to set the shift points etc. I've almost got it perfect after hours of tuning.:) Thanks for the sub.:)

The total cast was $4000 USD including the rebuild of the engine. Sold the 6.4 for $2000 USD and made all the parts in house for the swap. No labor costs as I did all the work.

Nice setup sounds good Good work looks stock like the truck came from the manufacturer with that he did a good job. But that 4 cylinder Detroit diesel a little undersize for that big truck. Six cylinder Detroit diesel probably would have been the best. But I can see why he went with the four cylinder far as fuel mileage It would be better than the six cylinder. But I think if he would have got the six he would have had the best of both world fuel and power

I would love to have the three cylinder Detroit diesel and my midsize truck Nissan frontier 2019 King cab

Boy do I LOVE this! Ain't nothin' like an old Detroit 2 stroke. Impressive mileage, all your new high tech still works, that is awesome!!!! Would love to shove a 3-53 in my '05 half ton chev. I gotta bee killin, pig piss drinkin, stinkin regen 2011 dirtymax that I love except for all that liberal nazi, horsepower and mileage killin, chokin the engine to death garbage. Have been thinkin hard about puttin in a detroit. If I pull the LML and sell it, cost diff for the swap shouldn't be much more than doing a total delete and keeping the LML. What year is your Ford? I would like to have a Detroit but don't know how all that gadgety stuff and the Allison would still work. BTW, I have an 07 and an 05 LB,DRW,crew cab 1 ton chev with DMs. I have deleted and replaced turbos and about everything that Banks and some others sell. The 07 LBZ can do 625hp, 1250 ftlbs torque and get 22 mpg at 70-75 on the hwy. I also hauls a big goose around town about 20,000 gross at 9.9 mpg. I got to tune it down a bit though so I don't break something. I just don't see doing that with the tier 4 2011 unless I go old school detroit or do a total delete and from what I have read doesn't always go well. Would love to hear how you did it. That is one nice rig!!

Thanks, the Duramax is a great engine, the Detroit won't come close to those HP and Torque numbers. My truck is an 09 F350 that used to have the 6.4 Powerstroke. The Detroit swap isn't easy as I had to make all the adapter myself, including the adapters to mount the Ford 5R110 to the Detroit. I kept 13 sensors from the 6.4 and transplanted them to the 4-53T, used the Ford TCM/PCM to control the trans and gauge functions. To tune the trans I used HPTuners to set the shift pressures and shift point etc. All in all very happy with the results, thanks for watching.:)
