Dad runs a 1999 Kenworth T2000 with a 470 Detroit 60 series. 1.4 million miles (rebuild 500,000 ago). It starts every time. It goes down the road as fast as he wants to go (minus west virginia mountains). Cleans up nice. No Elds. Can't go to California, but who really wants to go to California in 2021?

After 50 years of two 6-71 engines under a steel deck on boats my hearing has suffered badly. However after five years of retirement I am starting to hear sounds that I had not heard in decades. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I also had commercial license and also drove trucks. I am very familiar with the engines.

@fjb4932 2 года назад

Richard, "Hot in the summer and cold in the winter." That comment went over my head. Is it in reference to regaining some hearing, or in regards to working on Detroits ? While working for Uncle Sam i was assigned as a boat mechanic ( though a Construction Mechanic /SEABEES ) for two LCVP's with 6-71 Detroits. In those days, cigarette butts were used as ear plugs ...

in the 80s I worked for a company (Metcut) that made cutting tools for DD, and they were super precise on every tolerance. If their competitors had a .001 tolerance, DD had a .0003, and they were picky too...couldn't ever talk them into taking a out of tolerance part, even if the dimension was not critical.

The 71 series was not the first Jimmy. In Nam I used a naturally aspirated 3 cylinder Jimmy generator. Ran well until a tiny pin broke in the governor. 71 & 53 series were excellent power and reliability. ⁷

@Romans--bo7br 3 месяца назад

@10actual...... Sir, your statement of... "The 71 series was not the first Jimmy."....... is false. IF, as you stated, the Series 71 was Not the first "jimmy".... then, what was? The Very first Prototype was, in fact... a 4-71. I studied Diesel Engine Design & Theory, specializing in 2 cycle for 4 years, and my last Three years were directly under Mr. P. Nicolas, who was one of the lead engineers in designing the Series 71 platform... the Very First, GM Diesel Engine design. I have a framed 8" x 10" Black & white photo, which he gifted me with after I returned home from VN, the last time in 1970.... of himself, "Boss" Kettering, and one other engineer... with the 4-71 prototype, just minutes after it was fired up for the very first time. The Series 71 was the ONLY series that GM Diesel had, until the 110 in 1945 (sales began in 1946), then the introduction of the Series 53 engines in 1967, along with the "V" block series 71, also in 1957.

The turbo two stroke Detroit’s were much quieter than the NA models as turbos make everything quieter if using similar mufflers , my first truck I owned was a1980 Louisville with a 6V92T , much quieter and more powerful than the 8V71 I used to drive . Plus I got my hearing power slammed working on service rigs when they all had two stroke Detroit’s.

Look up the difference between OEM and OE . If it came from a manufacturer with their part number or as part of a new component it is OE. If made after the fact by the original supplier and sold as a non factory part it is then OEM. Original Equipment Manufacturer. If made by a non connected company as replica or pattern then it Aftermarket. The 2 terms OE and OEM have different meanings. Ycats

If you have never messed with a two stroke Detroit, this video would really make you think your missing out on life. There is so much to be said about the mechanical-ness of a Detroit that makes them amazing. They way two Detroit's could be bolted together to make one engine and how one could run backwards just as easily as forwards. Should really do a 2 stroke only video imo.

@LB-oz9hv 3 года назад

The 71 series was the most dependable for marine applications, 92 series was rather problematic, especially the 16-92. The 149 series was decent but very hard on fuel, of these the 12-149 was the most common followed by the 16-149 and fairly rare 8-149. I grew up around these engines but they are getting few and far between in the marine industry today as Cat, Cummins and MTU have taken over most of the market once again. However for certain applications the 2 stroke 71 and 53 series cannot be beat, situations where you need a cold start to full RPM for short periods.

@bobsmith2637 3 года назад

The 71's biggest brothers are the 2-stroke locomotive engines made by GM's Electro-Motive Division, the EMD 567, 645 and 710 (also named for their displacement per cylinder). The 567 was also developed in the late 1930s by the same engineering team, and is twice the bore and twice the stroke of a 71. EMD engines have fabricated (welded) blocks, and individual cylinders (power assemblies) can be removed and replaced fairly easily. Unlike Detroits, turbocharged EMDs do not have roots blowers, instead the turbo has a clutch and receives an assist from the geartrain when idling or at lower speeds. The clutch disengages once there is enough exhaust pressure for the turbo to start freewheeling. EMDs are all 45 degree V engines, with power outputs ranging from the 600 HP roots-blown 6-567 all the way up to the 5500 HP turbocharged 20-710. The 567 is a legend in the railroad world, as it more than anything else is what killed the steam locomotive. Thousands of EMD locomotives are still running in North America alone. EMD is now owned by Caterpillar and the 710 engine is still in new production today, being used in locomotives, ships and stationary generators all over the world. Unfortunately it failed to meet the EPA's Tier IV emissions standards, so has not been used in new U.S. market locomotives built after December 2014.

@brianburns7211 Год назад

EMD did use Roots blowers until 1959 567d2, and still offered them on the 645E.

Mercedes trucks had/have some great engines. For how complex and intricate the newer dd/Benz engines are they are incredibly reliable. If everyone was making engines to 1970's regulations all engines would be reliable but they cant anymore. Adding complexity without compromising reliability is impossible. Just look at the OM502 and OM501 engines they were really simple and reliable but they had to be replaced and to be honest working for Mercedes we rarely ever see an actros come into the shop with a engine fault, the only time I can recall was because the engine had been ran out of oil and the driver kept driving.

He certainly changed the company, in Australia DD engines were sold through Detroit Engine & Turbine Company owned and part of the Bowater Tutt Bryant Group an English owned group. The management style was very British with a lot of respect and security going both ways up the chain and down to the workers. Then Penske bought us out and brought in his American style management, strip, scatter and sell. Under performing sections of the group were sold off, even if they were part of the inhouse supply chain of parts, thus leaving the group open to external suppliers demands. Almost overnight the company went from having a 'we've got your back you are part of a family' company to a 'watch your back the family are watching you' company. It was no longer a secure respectful place to work.

Excellent video very informative. You forgot about one motor though the 6.2 diesel which is the smaller brother to the 8.2 diesel. Detroit built these for GM from 1982 to 1994 and then the 6.5 which is from 1992 to 2000 and which is still being produced by a.m. General for the military.

I am a 17 year Detroit Diesel Co. employee, great video! I really enjoyed this! One more fact you didn't mention in the video, Detroit is actually a full power train producing plant. We not only produce the DD engines, DT12 transmissions but also the Detroit Axles (formerly known as Axle Alliance) brand as well, all in the same plant. I work under the Axle and Transmission unit as a warranty analyst for the DT12 product. Again, GREAT video!!! It was awesome seeing the old footage and war time stuff especially.

I was there in August of 99 for training. We took the tour and I could feel the heyday of the 2 stroke in there. Was amazing seeing a 20v-149 having it's blocks aligned for assembly. All the 2 stroke stuff was consolidated to one line and I think everyone at one point had a piece of dust in their eye,I know I did. I'm just a pup compared to most guys who lived em for their whole career. At least I can guarantee I get to hear one once a year ,as my town still uses some big ol early 80s international truck that's got one still in service.

And the death started from the top and went down, strip, scatter and sell assets. Make the books look good this month with little thought of tomorrow. Our late General Manager in Australia way back would lose the occasional engine rebuilt deal in a poker game bet with one of the companies bigger customers, but that personal interaction, mutual respect and commitment sold hundreds if not thousands of new engines to that customer.
