Best engine ever made . I did drive one for 1727000 km. Not one engine problem. Same clutch ,same gearbox, same turbo , but had to change the diesel pump at 1.100.000 km.
Had a straight pipe on my old Scania 144 a few years ago.. sounded incredible, only lasted 3 weeks till the authorities had a cry and slapped me with a work order
I have a trucking company I am an intern at where I live, that has mostly newish Scanias, like several 500 horsepower ones from between 2006 and the newest one from 2018, and then they have their older one, a 143, 470 horsepower, gravelbed with trailer, straightpipes that will clear inspection from autorities, becuase of the way they have it registered. It's not classed for any euro rating, and they barely even drive it through our town, other than if they were to go north, then they have to drive through, but that does not matter. I recently got a ride in it, coincidentally at the same time as they were going to take it to inspection the next day, so part of my workday that day was jumping some life in it, as it sat with drained batteries for around 3 weeks. We got it going and let it sit for 8 hours just running. Also we filled it with 55 tonnes of dirt and gravel lol Before I left I got an offer, which could only be answered with yes, or you are just the biggest dumbass ever. boi was it good. I took 2 short videos of it when we were flooring it up and down. also just caught the cold start after it turned over. If there is interest, I can upload them to my youtube channel unlisted and post a link here.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 yep. Love my 6.0. Deleted cats and muffler. Higher flow injectors, down pipe, lift pump, a decent tune and a few other small improvements like better studs and gaskets. It really bellows at full throttle! The 6.0's got a bad rep due to faulty studs stretching. Replace those and get rid of the emissions crap and they are quite durable. To me, the 6.0 is the best sounding diesel ever made.
@@caseyspruill1410 Yeah i bought my 2006 Brand New. Just Bullet Proofed mine bought a year ago. KC Stage 2 Warren Diesel 175/30 Regulated Fuel Return. Airdog ll-4g, Precision Industries Triple Disk Converter, Billet Input Shaft, and a Bunch of other Shit, Heads O-Ringed. Made 572 HP. 1016 Ft lbs Yeah there Bad Ass Trucks once you fix everything. And that 6.0 Sounds like nothing else.
It's a genuine pleasure to hear one that is simply allowed to idle. I hate videos where they're continually revved. Please tell I'm not the only one who loves to hear a motor of any size, sit and tick over at idle?
Did 2.2 million kms with one of these engines, use to haul 70 tonne loads daily. She use to lug down to 1150 rpm and hold. We only replaced the turbo once and changed the oil every 15,000kms she worked hard daily and only used about a 2 litres between services
@@TomasVarg yes we had 2 drivers on this truck the whole time. Just me and another guy. We both treated the engine well, made her work and lug right down to 1100 before downshifting. We had her from new, at first we were concerned as she didnt like to drop under 1350 rpm on heavy pulls up hill but after 120,000kms she broke in and let us lug her down to 1100 rpm in every gear and would pull right thru the range to 1650 rpm. Every 15,000kms shed get her oil changed never miss. She worked 24/7 6 days a week, shifts were 12 hours. Wed do around 800km per shift. Around 10,000kms a week. We ran her for 4 1/2 years on that run. She clocked 2.2 million by the time the contract ended with only a turbo and x1 injector replacement.
@@sameuljones5496 Mind to tell what gearbox was fitted and rear differential ratio was. Was the clutch plate replaced? We currently in Malaysia pulling iron ore and gross nearly 90tonnes, hope our V8 last as long as yours. Never driven a V8 before nor any experience maintaining it. Be safe buddy.
@@nesh2003 we ran a 2002 R580 CA6x4 Manual GRS0905R tansmission with R8P835/RB835 differentials with reduction hubs 4.85:1, full double skin chassis heavy haulage spec. 70 tonnes daily however some loads were 95 tonnes depending on the demand for resources. We replaced clutch every 500,000kms, even if nothing was wrong we just did it at that mileage to keep the unit reliable
The Case 4994 tractor used a Scania V8, the engines were known to be reliable torque monsters down in the low end but are terribly expensive to overhaul here in the states.
Id thought i am mad or abnormal..i love hearing disel engines engines sound... sometimes i go and sit near axors scania or volvos and listen to the engine and i just feel so good.. i am in love with knocking sound and turbo whirling
I don't want to disappoint you, but you'll only see and hear an engine idling for 2:14 min. I can't figure out what is meant by sound, because there is no sound. It's only idling and even though the turbo whistles as if it's broken.
I understand what you mean, but it is better to try to fall asleep without headphones/whatever. Be yourself; not external sources directing your dreams.
Detroit and cummins are good engines but are no contender with the scania v8, the amount of torque they give while still averaging 8-11 mpg is fantastic
@@shades2.183 No it’s really not, in the global market they struggle with parts chain issues particularly in areas where they aren’t as common. That’s not an opinion it’s just the way it is.
@@thetexorcist2235 jesus christ "in areas where they are not common" listen to yourself and stop the stupidity They are blasting forward on the global market the later years, try to keep up. Supply has nothing to do with it. Inferior in your book is because of supply chain? Listen to yourself, it is such a stupid "opinion" based on bias and not reality. So it is by fact BS, an opinion, feeeeeeelings and such. I rest my case. The reality in technology they are actually superior, that is just a fact, smaller on a global market- sure, however it has absolutely zero with supply to do,but more with marketing, pricing and market corruption, insider deals and favourtism to do.
The greatest engine ever made the most reliable engine seriously, i seen one do (1.3 million km ) not one thing changed or repaired on it just the diesel pump and regular oil changes ran no problems at all, simple design is truly best. Sadly engines are now designed poorly little reliability so much technology and sensors creating more problems corporations worried more about profits and consumed by greed all in a struggle for ego position the my ones bigger and better has more functions and technology war.
I AM A LOVER OF 3408 CATS, HOWEVER THIS IS A NICELY LAID OUT ENGINE!! ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES BEING THE INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER AND HEAD ARRANGEMENT, MUCH EASIER TO HANDLE THAN THE MASSIVE SINGLE HEAD FOR 4 CYLINDERS! HOW MANY LITERS WITH THIS SCANIA??
One one the best sounding diesels but not THE number 1 for my American ears. Kinda wish Scania would get into the American truck market but I doubt they will with the fucked up emissions regulations we have here in the US.
What do you mean by fucked up emissions regulations? I'm pretty sure that any European truck can pass American emissions tests with ease, unless they test for completely different things.
The Poor Old DS14 . Good Engine . BUT . Series 3 , 450/500 and Series 4 520/550 Engines had exhaust valve problems . Never solved either . I know this because I owned a Scania Series 3 . Upgraded to series 4 Engine Re-power . Same issue . Exhaust Valves . Unfortunate . Series 1 & 2 were ground-breaking compared to other things around back then .
thats a great sounding engine, wish we had them in north america. very nice love the content. i got a channel about trucking in the oilfield not trying to spam you honestly, i love trucks just like you obviously @apseTruckerRTOT
