Like another commenter said, a 2-stroke Detroit can’t run without the blower. There is no “intake stroke” on a 2-stroke. The piston comes down and uncovers the admission port and the exhaust valves open. The blower forces in fresh air which forces the exhaust gases out. The exhaust valves close as the piston starts back up, the piston covers the admission ports and starts compressing the air, the fuel gets injected near TDC, the piston is shoved back down, and the sequence repeats.

This result is exactly why to not pull by the steer axle

When I was in the DSNY, my garage had GMC 9500 twins, but they were known as cutdowns. They had the gas V6/Allison, and a big lift gate. They were used for snow plows, snow removal, and lot cleaning. They were replaced by a bigger tandem Brigadier cutdown with a 92 Detroit. Loved it and hated it at the same time. The bed could only be raised with the slightest amount of throttle, or the PTO would cut out. But the five inch stack on the driver side made me forget about that.

I’m glad you took the path that you did. It was especially fun (it was for us) to watch you dodging 🐝. Without going through these steps, you wouldn’t KNOW what you now do….this time it is mostly scrap/crap and a few salvageable parts. The video was still worth it and your reputation of being the great rescuer is intact. A recap: 🔥Recovery removal - lots of interesting stumbling blocks (some self imposed)…you pushed through and it was a success. 🔥Dangling Mouse (and house clean-out) - some of the best content right there… you ignored it for so long that some people thought it was a comment generator on purpose. Nope….you bumped it multiple times and never even noticed until it was your head (pure gold). Huge success, despite the inability to revive the damaged mouse house…lots of learning for all. 🔥 Character - being vulnerable, showing your own mistakes (and bee dodging), stubbornness or sticktoitiveness (it’s a word), and overall good nature is why we watch more than the learning. Stay the course!

It's satisfying when you get an old engine to start for the first time, but watching you yank the cab off like a savage was great.

That cab removal was super satisfying.

Someone may have already commented on this, (I did not read over 2,400 entries)... But for reference. Honeybees only sting in defense. Once they sting once, they die. Yellow Jackets and hornets are in the Wasp family. Those sucker sting to eat... so they can sting you several times and keep coming back for more. There are other differences as well.

Good Saturday morning Matt! The issue is with the "Guard" bees. Drones don't have stingers. It's not the noise that gets them riled up, it's walking in front of the hive entrance and ground vibration. Next time you should keep some gauntlet-style gloves and a mosquito headnet in your truck. Way to go in saving the 6-71. 🙂

Watching Matt make a load for the scrap yard -- breaking stuff up like that -- could be an interesting video!

A trick an older mechanic taught me for breaking connections like the one at the air compressor (around the 15-min mark, when you had the two crescent wrenches) is to put the wrenches on with the handles close enough where you can squeeze them together. I use that method almost daily at work replacing air lines on Peterbilts and trailers.

43:07 yep don’t waste your time, as you say not worth it, concentrate on the autocar! Like to see it back and fully operational!

It's a 2 stroke. It doesn't create vacuum. The blower pushes air into the cylender to push out exhaust. The blower is essential.....it's not like a turbo that adds performance.

That was a great looking cab design, especially the long hood with the V12 Detroit ! Badass !!!

Hi Matt, thnks for takng the time to look thru it all and see what progress & stall there are. Lets regroup and look for that blower...no rush. Take a look evry so often

Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, and it's truly remarkable how their tiny wings have a big impact on our lives. As pollinators, bees are responsible for fertilizing flowers, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring the reproduction and growth of countless plant species. This process not only sustains the natural balance of our environment but also supports the agricultural industry, contributing to the production of food that we rely on. Moreover, bees produce honey, which not only serves as a delicious natural sweetener but also provides various health benefits. It's essential that we appreciate and protect these incredible creatures, as their decline poses a significant threat to our food security and biodiversity. Let's raise awareness and take action to preserve bee populations and create a sustainable future for all.

Let me second that from here, Western Kentucky. Matt, we have you covered from one end of the State to another! We appreciate everything you do.

That was one of the best Truck Deletions I've ever seen, except when I saw one hit a bridge.

As a current Detroit Diesel employee, it would be amazing to see that old 6-71 running!!

Another good video, this time to witness Matt’s diagnostic approach to mechanical problems, and then his philosophical approach to salvaging parts for future good use. Matt has a sensible limit on the value of his time and when to finally give up. Good balance of judgement. I think everyone will agree with his decisions on this video. He’s a smart guy.

I usually don't enjoy seeing something destroyed but there was something oddly enjoyable about removing the cab, without unbolting any bolts. I believe the spinning parts inside the blower are called rotors. At least that's what I recall from the old hot rod days, when those 6-71 blowers were all the rage!

Matt I hate seeing old iron getting torn up, but gee, that cab lift was cool to watch. You win some ... you loose some. Was fun to watch 👍

Just a tip I learned from an old Detroit guru, soak the blower for a week or so in 50/50 or 75/25 vinegar and water and it should pop free.

Matt you’ve sure got more nerve than I do messing around those bee’s. You’re a die hard rescuer and it’s commendable. Ok now I’ll watch you in action.

The fact your drive to make us happy bye getting that motor running tells me a lot about yourself Matt!!!!Thanks for your loyalty!!!!to all us!!!!!this video was great even thou the motor couldn't be fixed.....for me the ending was just fine because it shows what real life is all about.....sometimes you just cant fix it.....I hate that also but its life!!!

Knocking the mummified mouse around at 21:25 gave me a laugh. The culprit never got away from the his handiwork. Thanks for the video

When I was in the Army back in the 80's I was the driver of an Old School APC powered by a Detroit Diesel. Miner had an issue with the quell shaft drive for the super charger not being perfectly in line. Therefore the quell shaft broke several times. When it did the engine would shutoff immediately and give a white smoke out of the exhaust.

The "Truck delete" was awesome, I could not stop laughing when you hoisted the roof and the seats were left behind!

Always fun to enjoy your videos with my little guys on my lap.

As much as I love seeing you rescue old equipment, you can't save them all and some isn't worth saving as you said it's best to part it out and get the good stuff then scrap the rest.

Excellent use of the “Camarata” method of cab removal. Also, try and weld up the hole in the rotor. LOL. Enjoyed it!!

Love that new air conditioning you installed in the cab Matt. I have to say I got some real good laughs from this vid' Thanks for sharing. And yes, there are some good bits to salvage so, all is not junk. Cheers and thanks from the UK.

Try putting a shop vac or two on the exhaust to pull air through the engine for scavenging. It should pull enough air through to support idling the engine. Or remove an air box cover and stick a leaf blower in it and that should provide enough air to support the combustion of the amount of fuel required to idle the engine.

That was so satisfying, watching that cab getting ripped off .

Don't feel badly that it wouldn't start. We have 100% confidence in your abilities, as proven by every one of your prior videos. But if you DO send any or all of it to the scrap recyclers, I'd love to learn what it's worth to them as scrap metal.
