The nice guy that I sold it to, knew exactly what it was, and when he was test driving it before buying it, he asked if it was okay if he sets on the throttle to see how it did. HOLY COW, I was blown away, (of course, it was not throwing me in the back seat) but all those years I could have been enjoying it a little bit, or passing folks on the highway, and just never did, as I always assumed it couldn't, heck yeah it could have...

I was thinking “4.0s are easy to find" and guy pops the hood and there was a GM 2.8. i couldnt believe my eyes lol. Long story short, I passed.

The Good (BAD) Old Turd Pincher... The 8.2 in those years was the "cheap diesel" the "expensive" one was the 3208....OR depending on year 6.6-7.8L New Holland. Some years FD-1060 Ford (5.9 Cummins) and FD-1460 (8.3 Cummins) - This is where that rumor "Ford Owns Cummins" came from...One could say "Ford Owns Cat" (Looking at the old V-636) - HAHA!

Ford heavy duty F series from that time period often had the 82 liter Detroit Diesel. It was usually matched with the 5 + 2 Spicer or else a 5-speed with a two-speed axle.

I used to drive MLVWs in the army, which is a Canadian version M35/M36 6x6. They had 8.2 Detroits with no turbo and a 3 speed Allison automatic. It was able to reach the speed of smell in 4.3 minutes, and topped out at 85km/h. The thing they delivered fastest was tinnitus.

This Detroit Fuel Squeezer was not known for reliability . I had one in my truck , rolled it out of the bed when I got to the Scrapyard .

@Adamz678 relax Mario, you're the only one heated and boiling. I'm chill 24/7 , robots don't get upset. We just end civilizations. Don't tell anyone, or they'll reset my brain. Lol.

I really like the speedometer in it

Man, oh man, I can still remember the smell of dust ,dirt, oil, and old vinyl. But it's 2024 and life keeps rolling. It really makes you appreciate that the manufacturers started paying attention to driver comfort and drivability. Probably not even power assisted steering.

Wait a few minutes and somebody will slap an LS in it.

Right they don't make engines like that anymore! And there is a lot of reasons why

I have a international 304 in a 73 scout, love it. ❤️

The 80-86 interior lived on in the Medium duties through 1999.

The ole fuel pincher.

That was the worst engine Detroit diesel ever made.

💯 % agree!

Got me an 81 f700 dump truck,8.2 ( non turbo)detroit, bought an 87 school bus , took the engine out, 8.2 non turbo, put it in the dump truck. Use it daily. Starts even in the cold, no glow plugs, pre- heater, or cold start system.

Love lt an medium duty heavy duty old Ford they had everything in them I like them with the Cummins

I scraped one a few years ago that had exploded the crank inside the block. Bought the whole thing just for the bed and hoist.

As soon as I saw that splitter on the gear shift, I remembered how it felt pulling that thing into gear. Lmao

Big brother to the 6.2

We had an old ford bucket truck with the 5.9 Cummins. That thing probably had one oil change a year, truck was falling apart but the engine would always start

This is one of my favorite kinda trucks plain jane without any extra nonsense

also known as a fuel pincher, rare to see because theyre throw away engines.

We have a Cummins in the one at work, she’s a beast! It’s a chip truck too

Back in the day, you’d walk in an option/speck out ,the motor and transmission . Course finding used needing a motor was best.

This makes me want to go play snow runner!

Detroit isn't specific to GM. They are used in a huge number of 650 and up trucks. They also are in freightliner semis too. Nothing sounds better than a 12v71

They are still called Big Blocks haha. "352, 360, 390, 427, 428 - Classified as “FE” series big blocks, FE stands for Ford Edsel. The FE series engines were an earlier design that came in Mustangs, Shelby's, T-Birds, trucks, and even Cobra's. Common sizes were the 360 for trucks. 390 for cars like Mustangs, T birds, Cougars, etc."

Love the FE series

I agree on the less is more when bracing a car. At work we restore old 356 Porsches they are usually in peaces or so twisted rotted away that it's out of place to start with. After some rocker structure starts to go back into them you have to measure and pull parts into alignment. We get the door gaps dialed in and then a brace from the pillars to the rear frame / seat pan area. Always enjoy the video's looking forward to the next video hoping some day to get to my 67 400 convertible.

My 1980 f800, has the 370-4v, of course a gasser…it’s a old Derrick digger, with the man bucket option…still kicking it!

I worked for a towing company years ago and we had an old 900 like that and it was one of the best trucks we had it was strong as hell and that old truck always started with no problem in minus 40 weather conditions

Whoa! That’s the coolest thing. What thing of beauty that engine is!

I wish these were still in production these are solid Truck.
