That must be crazy hearing a Detroit going by and instead of seeing an old bus or an old mack you see a suburban going past you

My father and grandfather did that to a GMC Jimmy back in the late '70's. They put in a 353. It was my grandfather's truck. He would pick me up from school in it. He had a pull knob to shut it down (fuel) and an emergency shutdown pull knob (air). He pulled an airstream all the way to Alaska in it. That sound brings back memories.

When they made the “Detroit” powered suburbans, this is what they should have meant.

700R4s do not have engine braking in the "OD" range - they have one-way clutches that prevent that. If you shift into the "D" range, it applies additional clutches that will enable engine braking in 1st-3rd. It sounds like your transmission might be a gas 700R4 based on the shift points. If you swap a 700R4 diesel governor into it (they're pretty cheap), it will probably shift at more sensible speeds.

Man I go through this same process - Buy piece of shit, fix it to sorta usable, then waffle on keeping and fixing it up some more - a week later my credit card is FUCKED up, and I still have a half-running piece of shit in my yard but it's loaded down with nice new parts... and the same amount of useful it was before. Just admit it, you're gonna keep this fuckin' thing. It's too cool.

Cut the Floors and put an Eaton 10 speed in. Love your videos I used to own old two stroke dump trucks. Probably why I can’t hear much!

Wayne - if you ever have to pull the flywheel again, when you go back together, cut the heads off of a couple of long bolts to use as guide studs. Put them in the crank, slide flywheel on, slide spacer on. put your adapter plate in place, then put the flex plate on and tighten the flywheel bolts. Pull the line up studs and install the last two flywheel bolts. Easy peasy. Love the channel and content dude. Keep it coming!

I'm here for the junk and the working on thereof.

You may have to play with the weights on the governor in the trans. The 2 stroke isn't turning it enough rpms to make it shift they way it should. The low rpm is not creating enough line pressure to make the tv cable adjustment correct. When you go full throttle, the trans is set up for 5-6000, not 2500.

The governor in the trans is for a gas engine. You need one for a 6.2 or 6.5 Detroit. That should make it shift right. Another possibility is fine somebody who knows how to modify the weights in the governor in it currently.

That spacers is bananas. But I love it.

She sounds real good. Love the sound of an old 2 stroke diesel.

A 4L80E can be mated with an aftermarket controller and then you can get it to shift at the RPM's you want. With a hydraulic transmission you may be able to fenangle the throttle cable to get it to work fairly well but may not get it perfect.

My A model has “no guts no glory” on the back of the bunk and every time I look at it I think of that clip from Gold Rush of ol Jack. I friggen died when that popped up😆😆

I love watching you work on "old junk" much more than I would like to watch people work on expensive new things. I don't like to watch rich dudes rubbing it in my face. I like watching 2 stroker because I like seeing someone who is obviously doing something they love with obsolete things, not wasting things, making things work, doing good work, tasteful work, intelligent work. I can't stand people who do click bait, who trash things for no reason, who are destructive, materialistic, act stupid or crazy on purpose. 2 stroker comes off as a genuine dude and I believe he acts the way he is on camera when he is off camera and I think he is sincere in what he says. He would probably get more views and make more money if he was like that but, I am glad he isn't willing to sacrifice his class for that. My father was a trucker from Oswego County NY, he loved all this kind of stuff. I love hearing 2Stroker talk his accent reminds me so much of the working class upstate NYer guys I was around as a kid. It really warms my heart. It's also impressive to see a guy who is doing well in spite of all the downsides of living up in NY. The weather, the economy, the government, the laws, the rust, the cost of living, the taxes. I love it up there in the summer out in the country. I'm 41 and I was in the military and I just couldn't make it up there so I live Tennessee. Thanks making these videos, I really appreciate them.

If you go to a 4l60 or 4l80e trans, you "could" say to heck with the computer, and look up how to hot wire the shift solenoids. Full line pressure, full manual shift. I have done it with a 4l60e and it worked mint, behind a 350 anyway. Slightly different shift solenoid sequence on the 4l80, but that can be fully wired just using the pressure switch built into transmission.. cool videos man, i really find this stuff interesting.

Turd? thats the best looking 95 suburban ive seen in 10 years

Been waiting for this. I love OBS' so can't miss it

Great video, but a typical 2-stroke Diesel, sounds great like its going really fast, then you look at the scenery around you and realize it is just turning diesel fuel into smoke and noise. Still cool and better than the old 350 or 305 it used to have. A $1k truck (or less) with a $3k (or more) engine and swap into it ...

My man Wayne! Perfect timing on a Friday!

Very cool! Seems like it's running up against the governor before shifting, need to bring the shift points down a bit.

Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻

Nice shifts like a out house trying to dump

this thing is literally a wet dream. thank you for making this exist on my feed.

Great video Wayne really enjoy watching you work on this 95 Burban. With a little fine tuning you'll get it running and maybe shifting better. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. That's what I say to make myself feel better.

Open that thing up the sound be knocking cows over.....

If you could find an old rusted out donor truck with an NV4500 that would be pretty cool. Even like an SM465, TH400 or an 80e. Maybe a ZF-5 or ZF-6 could be adapted...might have to find like a 1/2 ton V6 manual Chevy like that for a pedal box and stuff. Lot of work... it's a pretty decent looking truck for a 1995 GMT400, most of those are absolutely thrashed and destroyed. Probably worth it to do the body mounts, clean off the surface rusted area in the back in hit it with some of that rust reverser paint that has a chemical reaction with the iron oxide to stop the rot in the back. It seems like it would be an alright rig once you're cruising along at highway speed. Definitely seem slushy and boggy at low speeds. Ingenious build, the guy who did it must have really been a character. To drive the truck 500k miles is really a testament to how much better things were built back then. Hopefully you figure something out to do with it.

You always amaze me. Cool stuff. You will figure it out.

No doubt Wayno you’ll eventually figure it out. It’s a f’kn cool project 🤘🏼

That’s funny Wayne peanut butter jelly time , keep up the great content

Oof…I can’t see that 700R4 lasting long behind that Detroit at all. Especially as it’s likely got the weak stock sun gear (you loose reverse when that breaks… had it happen on a 4.3L powered s10 blazer. Simply put it in reverse and she snapped ). I’d put a 5 speed cast iron gearbox in it. Nv4500 if I recall correctly? Granny low straight cut first gear.

Gotta love heavy things that could swan dive into your teeth at any time! 🤣 arms are quitting just quick get a bolt started!!

Should have picked the winner that jumped out of the hat!!

Man.. I don't like two strokes in small vehicles and I'm not a Chevy guy, but this really is pretty nice. It runs pretty quietly for what it is and looks 100% streetable as a daily driver once you get the transmission dialed in. I'm, well... I guess I'm impressed. Nice work.

This Best modification I’ve ever done to any of my vehicles is to get rid of the buzzer/chime

First,let me start by saying, love the channel. But you were killing me Smalls putting in that flywheel, flexplate,adapyer...whatever. Next time,get a couple bolts slightly longer,cut the heads off,put a slot in the end so you can remove them with a screwdriver, and poof studs to help align and assemble. Put your other bolts in,align, and there you go.

Please keep this one going! I love seeing Detroit engine swap projects. And though it's not a Detroit swap, picking up on the Caddy Diesel project would also be great.

Bro imagine the rotating mass with a flywheel, a flex plate, and a solid alloy extension. Haha. Such a cool thing.

I would question the torque converter and valve body on the shifting, if there ment for a gas engine it won't wanna shift until the diesel runs out of rpm

Good to see it on the road. 👌🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸

Wait a second Do I know what time it is?!!! Of course i do Your content just improved an order of magnitude, DUDE!😎

This is utter perfection

You need to modify the shift points of trans to shift at a lower rpm, your max engine rpm is what somewhere around 3.5 - 4k? So you need it to shift at 1500 or 2000 rpm, because the trans is built for an engine that does 5000rpm or higher ...

I used to make BIG money back in the 90s yanking diesel turds out of Suburbans and replacing them with powerful 454 big blocks that would chirp first and second gear- no turbo required. It is sad that the EPA killed big blocks and we are now stuck with money pit diesels. Had the EPA not done that, you would be seeing supercharged and turbo charged direct port injected big blocks in modern trucks. Aside from fuel economy, that 8 cents per pound a junk yard will give you gives Detroits a reason to be acquired...

15:15 - 15:45 never thought an ad would be so perfect at this moment tbh

Wanye you ROCK❤

Is the trans a 700-R4 or a 4L60E? I missed that part. I can help with valve body/TV setup if it's a 700. 4L60E is gonna be done with a laptop/trans controller. I'm in NY, north of Syr. and have 40yrs exp with GM transmissions at my disposal.

God I love the sound of Detroit Diesel engines.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Appreciate the content 👍

And there is the truck gm should have built but never did. Gmt400 suburban with a sweet sounding 2 stroke jimmy Best of both worlds. This is my dream truck❤

You will figure ‘er out! She has potential for sure! 👍🏻😋 Def a cool setup! I am off to Hudson tomorrow to go to an auction or swap meet with my bud Brandon! Went there last year. Wanted to bid on 3 rare OHV Tecumseh 16 horse engines, yup, 4 choke junk, but these are cool and actually good little motors, but they were taking forever and it was hot that day and I wasn’t quite over a major surgery, AND only had my TiLite everyday chair and it is hilly and rough there, should have brought my Terra Trek all terrain chair, so that wasn’t helping at all, so we bailed. Oh well. 🤣 Anyway, cool vid! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hay buddy good Job

sounds like it needs a different Torque converter.

if the transmission has a vacuum modulator, adjust that (did it to my truck) also, does it burnout? lol, i know it needs the adjustments, but im still curious

That inning in the input shaft is for the torque converter lockup wayno, I gotta rebuild one of those tomorrow ugh

So if that Truck is too rotted out, then what about putting the motor in the Square body burban you got?

Sounds so cool

Ditch the automatic all together! That baby was made to be shifted.

Always wanted to do this when i still had my k3500

dont sound like a DuraMax ? lol as Im typing that am thinking can you use the Alison trans ?

Getting in a bind like that is how deals get made with the devil

our Buddy and volunteer o2S clothing model is a transmission guy.......You should find a thick weighted "diesel" governor from a 6.2 truck and change the wiring in the pan so it locks up after the 1-2 shift and stays locked. will feel a lot more like the Allisons, except none of the smaller GM units with sprags 350 ,400, 700 ,4l60, 4l80,etc will engine brake unless in manual selector positions .Also If my memory is right on all this ancient stuff a 350 governor gear also allows you to manipulate the whole TV/ shift point curve a bit more if needed?

You gonna be at Macungie this year?

thank you for the asmr and love this truck. :) i grew up around those engines and diesels in all

hey boss great video i didn`t catch what kind of detroit did you put in? really good shape for a 95

Reusing the factory lines was the upgrade over a 5 gal can bungied to the grill.

Cool video. Could you picture putting a ten speed or any other transmission in. How does it get for fuel mileage

Needs an upgrade to the buzzin dozen! 😂

That made of glass 4L60 wont hold up behind a diesel, it also needs a TPS signal or a TV cable added or adjusted. The governor can be swapped for a diesel style also... good luck my man...

Man of Genius!!!

Ol' two stroker is out to two stroke swap the world ain't he ?

hiya wyane hows it been.... love from martin in cali,

Holy crap man. I almost shut it off from that key beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.. ffs Wayne.

That is such a sick swap though..don't know who had the time or idea to do this

Sounds like my old Gamma Goat I had in the army.

Is there a difference in valve body’s between gas and diesel. Seems like it shifts a too high of rpms.

" Good enough for who it's for " A good friend of mine ( who passed away three years ago on this coming June 6 at 73 ) said that to me a few years ago before he passed . I never heard that saying here in Texas before . He and his dad ( Texas transplants ) were originally from Missouri ( aka Misery as he called it ) He told me his dad use to say that .

Seems as if torque converters stall is way to high ,however it does fit the old saying GM turns good fuel into noise

4l80e swap it all day. or pull the engine and swap it into a 3/4 or 1 ton cleaner pick up imo

Should put 2 countersunk assembly bolts put in on each side of that spacer to make that a little less fucky. Assemble spacer and flywheel, install cover, screw on flexplate, everything lined up and toit, bust out the peanut butter. That trans just sounds like it's clapped.

A 5 speed swap would be sweet in it. Either way it's a bad ass golden retriever hauler!

A couple leaks? On a Detroit? No way!

Wayne at some point are you going to Detroit swap the CADDY?😎

You can’t lose the dowels man that will definitely cause issues always put them Back in the same exact also

That is a janky glorious mess😂. (Those 10 inch bolts or whatever they are would worry the hell outta me if it was me)

TV cable wayyy too tight bro. Or governor giving wrong shift points... is that trans for a gas engine?. Or get a manual valve body? Sounds awesome though.

Is that green piece behind the flex plate a "scatter shield" in case the adapter lets go?

Give some wayne tuning make it ripp amigo it will fly

thats pretty cool

Totally off topic , but I saw a video of an old gmc general on here . I have a 1979 Chevy bison and need a drivers side door window. I’m sure the general is the same . Any leads are welcomed

I guess the question becomes, just how much can you turn up the fuel on these engines?

I should've known it was a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke.... I saw the title and thought some mad lad stuck an old Polaris snowmobile engine or something in a Suburban lol.

Did you bled the abs where the black cover is?

Wayne you might add 1/4 inch per adjustment more on T.V. CABLE Drive it and see if that doesn't change that s*** point up on top there. First. The second second to third I assume it's got locked up on the converter there too I don't know why I didn't watch you if you did anything different on the converter or not. Anyway, sounds good. Love to have it. Now you're gonna put bigger injectorsTurboand after cooler jakes brakesThe whole slos in I know you were concerned about the transmission holding up to all that but we only live once right?God bless you

That thing sounds badass but I’m getting old and after awhile it would probably bug me lol

Needs a diesel version trans governor

How is the tach hooked up?

Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat. Haha that stupid song was quoted forever growing up.

I agree, that shift sounds absolutely terrible.
