Say what you want but, these were some of the BEST engines EVER built! As for POWER, well this video proves that they have the power to TOTE the LOAD and my Uncle had one of those long nose GMC's back in the early 70's that could run 80+ m.p.h. with a 110,000 lbs.+ of logs on the trailer! I mean, those logs were soo long that by the time we pulled into the mill, all you could SMELL was PINE SAP burning from them touch the highway. 😄🤣😂💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👍🏾❤💯

Rick Delair cheers man, it'd be awesome to hear a 2 stroke come back. I remember when I was a lad at school we went to Canberra from Newcastle, for a school excursion. I was in a Denning Landseer and the other bus was a MAN. I always sat in the front seat because I loved watching drivers, especially with a 6 speed spicer, I had that pattern memorised before I was 12 haha. Anyway when we were returning, I was watching the speedo climb right up to 160kph, 2 stroke 6v92T screaming, and next second the MAN wiped the floor with us. He blew by us so fast he had to be doing 200kph. This was in the early 90's before they were all limited. I still loved the Denning because of its note. I got to drive one a few years ago and the power that motor had was phenomenal.

They are NOT clean burning. That’s why two strokes died. Same as gasser two strokes and Wankels. They are EFFICIENT because because every second stroke (or ever 1/3 rotation of the rotor) is a power stroke vs every 4th stroke. But they are absolute garbage for the environment. I’m not talking about the environment in the philosophical hippie granola sense. I’m talking about the inability to park a white car near or see anything grow by the train yards with the garbage spewed by SD-40s and GP9s that were once common place. Good riddance.

NOTICE how these trucks AREN'T rolling coal when they take off. that's because they're engines are well tuned as to not waste fuel. and have good drivers behind the wheels. take notes for all you amateur diesel drivers out there
@kelharper79716 жыл бұрын
A diesel tuned to make maximum power is going to produce a certain amount of smoke, because you want to be dumping more fuel than air into the cylinder, to use every available CC of oxygen. Since vehicle engines run at various speeds and loads, it's hard to tune one to get exactly the correct amount of fuel in all situations, under all loads. An engine tuned for max efficiency is not going to be getting the most power it can; they are mutually exclusive (however, there are those who sacrifice both just so they can blow black smoke: this is just stupidity). Even in computer-controlled engines, where the fuel delivery is infinitely more adjustable than in old mechanical engines, where you had to set the fuel to whatever gave you peak delivery at power peak, even if you wasted fuel the rest of the RPM range, it is hard to eliminate the smoke, and in many cases the engine is purposely tuned to deliver more fuel than can be burned because the fuel acts as a heat sink and carries heat out of the cylinder, reducing EGTs and preventing turbo failure. I think if you go to any diesel drag race or tractor pull, you will find that most of the trucks make a great deal of smoke. This is not just because they are all idiots who don't know how to properly tune an engine, unlike you (although I doubt you _do_ know how to tune an engine, you are just repeating something you heard, or more likely, your own wishful thinking. Or you're repeating someone else's wishful thinking. Anything to prove those Neanderthal diesel guys wrong!) I'd bet that the reason they aren't making smoke here is because someone made it a condition to be allowed to compete, to tune the engines to reduce black smoke, because usually they make a lot (more than necessary, because it is a crowd pleaser). Someone decided that was too much like letting people do their own thing, and felt it needful to stick their oar in and "correct" everyone for the public benefit.

Its kinda surreal to think about now. Also everyone over 40 has a memory of some MCA bus screaming around town or out in the country down some lomesome 2 lane road...and seeing many broke down on side of road...but almost Always that was due to neglect and poor maintainence.

I absolutely love all Detroit diesels even the four strokes. What killed the 2 stroke was fuel mileage and emission. The low compression caused buy the short compression cycle didn't allow for complete combustion. This produced high hydrocarbons. Because of that they could not meet modern emission standards. I have been a diesel mechanic for 30 years and watched the entire industry move over seas. Now Cummins is Chinese and detroit is Mexican. As a journeyman I would still buy a Detroit any day however I love the guys who buy Cummins because that's how I make money! :)

The LCF( Low Cab Forward)Dodge had to have the cab set higher on the frame, with a filler piece in place underneath the cab doors. This was so the 8V-71 could fit. This engine came with either 260,290,or318h.p. Later w/turbos they had 335 & 350h.p. ratings. If they were set up right, would run for many miles. The G.M. 2stroke has been around since the late 1930's, and was used in different applications. The truck from the movie with Emelio Esteves, was a White Western Star w/ a 12V-71.The old Canadian built Hayes WHDX 1000 logger and prime mover, had a big 16V-71 for power.

"Old" diesels sound just like modern diesels, except maybe louder (less cladding, more mechanical stuff like injectors). These are built, blown 2-stroke Detroit diesels. They only sound vaguely like what they sound like in normal operation (usually they sound like someone taking their diesel up to and past the redline, because they fire twice as often as a 4-stroke diesel for the same revs). So Detroits sound different from a typical modern diesel, but it's because they are 2-stroke, not because they are old. Old 4-stroke diesels sound about the same as any other diesel. You still hear 2-stroke diesels in some locomotives and ships, but it's less noticeable there because they only run at like 500 RPM anyway. In any case, these don't sound much like stock Detroits either. Just like a Duramax running forged internals and twin-turbos pushing 1,500hp/2,000lb-ft from 7,500RPM and 50psi can be pretty misleading as regards "what a diesel engine sounds like". So a Detroit 2-stroke definitely has a distinctive sound compared to a typical diesel engine, but that sound isn't normally what you hear in this video.

Terence Dalbec 3 lots of timber would weigh at least 45 tonne depending on the type of wood etc, plus the tare weight of the truck and trailers. I'm from Australia. Proof that if use change gears correctly Detroit motors go very well.

We had a 69 dodge wrecker with a detroit-road ranger trans. Was told to drive it like you just slammed the door on your finger. Trans shifted better that way.

Yah, a C900. Longhorns had much longer hoods. The orange one has the cab raised. They came that way if they had a larger V 8 engine in them so you could get the rocker covers off, as much of the engine is pushed back under the cab. On inline engines like a NH Cummins the rear head is inside the cab. You had to remove the doghouse to get at it. Try torquing a cylinder head bolt on an HH 220 that takes 600 ft lbs in one of those. All these old trucks where very noisy inside and out. Drive one of those on a long trip and when you get in your car to go home your ears are ringing for hours after. Drove one of these Dodges with a Cummins NH 250 in it. Top speed 55 mph. Pulling loads of glass from South of Detroit to points in Quebec. 80,000 lbs on spread 4 axle trailer. Grossing 130,000 lbs. it’s a long trip. The truck will tell you where the hills are even if you can’t see them. Interring thing about these trucks is the fenders folded sideways to the front. So when they where opened the headlights would be facing one another. The hood flipped up. You could stand right beside the engine. However if it was a repair over and above a service if you had a cherry picker you could remove the entire assembly in a little over half an hour. Most of that time was tagging the headlight wires. Worked on a couple that had Cummins V8 903 cid engines in them. You had to undo the front cab mounts and jack up the cab to get the rocker covers off on that combination. Cabs are very small inside, not unlike a lot of trucks in there day. Ford Louisville’s where a game changer back in the day. Good visibility for a conventional, and fairly quiet. Ford sold vast quantities of them. Now your lucky to see one rusting away in a farmers field somewhere. Where did all the Cabovers go ? Observation from an old truck driver / mechanic... “Blink and you’ll miss it.” Ps, look for more videos from Norte Dame du Nord where this was filmed. It will blow your mind. These trucks are racing up hill in case your wondering. These guys don’t full around.
