Yeah when it's not trying to run away. I like for people to preserve these types of engines. There's not many of these relics left. the truck itself in this one is complete garbage, but the engine was salvageable.
I'm amazed at how well four cylinders survived after that amount of heat and WOT.

Heat or lubrication were not the root cause of the failure with this one. It was simply metal fatigue from over revving. ☠️

My neighbors nephew could have used that truck to get back and forth from school, he's studying to be an astronaut. He lost both his arms in a combine accident and cant work anymore to afford a ride, so this truck would have really helped him out. I guess you big fancy KZreadrs don't know how hard things can be for us little folk.

I believe that Detroit 2 strokes should be saved... In trucks that are worth saving. That thing was a piece of junk. Great show to watch and certain bit of satisfaction knowing that it still held up for anytime at all under those conditions. Always love watching how you get those darn things out of the frame.
Is it possible for the next runaway to setup an RPM meter??? That would be way cool!!! The thing sounds like a jet engine, ready to take off!!!

So I did some bad math. I noticed the main sound frequency the engine is throwing out is about 698 Hz, or theoretically 698 exhaust pulses per second. Multiply that by 60 for pulses per minute, divide that by 6 for 6 cylinders, and you'll get about 6980 exhaust pulses per minute. And since it's a 2 stroke, that means it's 6980 RPM, and because each cylinder has a power stroke each revolution (vs every other like a 4 stroke), it sounds like a 4 stroke running at 13960 RPM. I don't think I've ever wanted diesel nascar more than right now tbh. I could be completely wrong, who knows. It feels right though.

we had a 1977 Detroit Deisel and it survived 2 runaways at 6000 rpm. it finally died last year. we pulled it apart and it had thrown a rod. (not out the block mind you.) had signs of piston/valve contact on cylinder 4 3 and 6. and a snaped valve spring on cylinder 1. but surviving two diesel runaways? that thing was a trooper
I gotta tell you. I worked on these pieces of junk many years. I often wished I could have done this many times. This was a very satisfying video! Thank you! What happens is the collets on the valves fail and then the valves fall into the cylinders.

Very slick push start, bravo!
As much as I like seeing old diesels tear themselves apart, that speech was AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time.
“Didn’t land any troops on the beaches of Normandy” that had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
An ingenious way for a man to push start a truck for sure !
the way you started that thing was pure genius
Every time i thought it was gonna finally blow it didnt, just kept going. Incredible really
Hearing that 671 run brought back bad memories. Now I will have to go to therapy.
Gotta be an old 16 cylinder locomotive motor sitting around nearby ready for one last go around.
667,010 miles on the clock!! The thing for sure served its purpose!
Loved the delicate and respectful autopsy of the cab and donk 😄
I love the way you one man started it. If I had old junk like this I'd be doing the exact same thing.
That is AWESOME!!! I could only imagine how that sounds in person.
Now show me a Cat or Cummins running at 2x its max HP rpm and see how many seconds it lasts.
I could have put that in my Prius and now you’ve just wreaked it!
At first I was thinking "Oh, what a cool truck", then saw its old and ragged out. Probably the most valuable parts of that truck are the fifth wheel hitch and what's left in the fuel tank. (With current fuel prices.) It's definitely worth more as scrap weight.

Great commentary and an interesting bit of internal combustion history !!!!
Pop started various vehicles in many ways, but that chain start is a Hoot! Must have lots of faith in that chain ⛓️
Never seen a solo bump start like that before.
Damn. Do you know how many new GM cars were hauled to the dealerships with those low horsepower POS. It didn't matter. When you are making Union Scale. You got paided for everything. Plus got to sleep in a motel room every night. That was one of the best jobs in a American back in the Day. Back when American was really Great. 🇺🇸👍😎
i love how you engaged the transmission! I was in stitches!
Your push start method is brilliant.
DUDE! GENIUS PUSH START! It comes with a key that you turn that will start the truck. You’re welcome! 🤪 We’ve missed your crazy ass! Great to see another video brother.

As a farmer looking for a cheap single screw day cab, I approve of this video. You could write it off as educational and still scrap it.

What a way to pull the driveline! Good content on your videos
I learned to drive TT ON A 1970 Jimmy 238 Detroit, 13 speed Spicer, twin screw. No radio, no air ride seat, no A/C. “What was that you said”. Permanent hearing loss and the paperwork to prove it. You are correct in your Junk statement. Detroit engines turned diesel fuel, and air into Noise and very little power.
i literally laugh my ass of during ur vids because ur smart ass humor never ends. you never disappoint KT. 👍👍👍👍

Ring compression crankcase blowby forces oil out anywhere and everywhere. Nice. Thanks.....
Great! They make a nice sound at 3000+ rpm
I seen a lot of young guys break into driving on these piles. I seen where those engines did a days work... running air compressors on drill rigs. I worked for a guy who had gambling fever, so he would drill a pit for someone, take that money and bet the horses. He would catch two or more hundred dollar place but never the big payouts. I didn't have anything better to do... he is saying if it will just bore a few more holes, I will get back on top again... I made it run and had old engine oil from other rigs changes... just kept it in oil.... I will be dipped in owl poop, that sorry engine kinda tightened up and started running good for what ever reason. I tried hard to get him to sell it while there was a dollar to be made but nope an I told him that that last engine was the last save, no more. It ran great for a few weeks... we had walked down from the pit to eat in the shade, he had left it running. I was just taking a bite of cold food (tastes better than nothing) and seen some white smoke a curling in the air... he was going to run up and try to shut it down but I just hung onto him... and just when I was about to second guess myself, that motor made the god awfullest sound and ran against the governor not more than a couple minutes and then "Bang".... no more tuning on that crap hole that left you black walking by it.
