@MasterWitchDoctor..of course you have a friend, so you have no first hand experience. 50,000 up Monteagle( thats how its actually spelled),@ 70 mph and never drops a gear. 600 CATS dont even do it. im a trucker and ive run Tennessee for yrs and ur full of shit. quit telling stories, mother goose. keep playing with ur tinker toys.
in my Diesel Tech class my instructor was able to find a DD 12V-71 with the turbos and supercharger in a totaled Freightliner, i guess we are gonna take it apart, clean/get new parts for it, and put it back to together so we can run it.
need less to say i am so excitied to hear an old screamin Detroit!
@CSXtrackworker a big cam 500 Cummins > 12v71 N. Cummins doesn't leak oil, have the exhaust rack get out of sequence, or is so loud you can't hear yourself think. The 71 series Detroits were weaklings compared to the Cummins and they burned a lot more fuel. On average the 12v71 burned 20 gph or more. In a boat a Detroit was the way to go, in a truck Cummins NTC blew them away.
@MasterWitchDoctor Sorry bud, I disagree with you. We have a mix of old big cam cummins as well as our old detroits and they all leak the same amount of oil. Even some of our new detroits and new cummins motors leak a lil oil. It is common for this on diesels after a while no matter how much you baby them. Your smaller detroits lacked on power but once you got into the 8 and 12v series and the 60 series, then you had your power.
@CSXtrackworker 8V71s have power? ROFL @ THAT ONE!!! They can't pull a toothpick out of a club sandwich. Point in case here in Tennessee is I-24 west bound a hill named Mount Eagle. A friend of mine has an 83 Pete with a Cummins NTC rated at 500 hp he uses to haul steel from Birmingham Alabama. He can run up Mount Eagle 70 mph with 50,000 lbs on steel and never have to down shift. Every 71 or 92 series Detroit I've ever seen can't even come close to doing that. Detroits are crap and weak.
@unclewilly2 supercharged, but its considered naturally aspirated. 2 stroke diesels require forced induction so they don't 'choke' on their own exhaust
@unclewilly2 Seems to be a language barrier here...I don't understand what you're asking. Are you asking about fuel mileage campard to a 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke?
@unclewilly2 I'm not sure what like of fuel mileage these old Detroits get. Perhaps someone else can chime in on the subject. I know 2 strokes tend to use more fuel compared to a 4 stroke, but that's about all I can tell you about that.
@farmerallis ...Here in the mountains of Colorado...it's not true that a two stroke is less efficient than the four stroker...I generally don't chime in - this being the first time...and I didn't realize sooo many people were still 'Droit bonkers. Anyways, we've been married to Terex and 'Droit since the 60's...suppose I'll weigh in on some of these. To give you an idea...our Silver 92(8V92TT), in a '79 GMC General will get about 5mpg loaded to 95k gross...our Series 60 does about the same.

@SummitAggregates Thanks for chiming in. 5mpg is actually pretty good mileage, even for today's standards.

is it a 2 or 4 stroke ??
unclewilly2 1 year ago
@unclewilly2 Detroits are 2 stroke, that's why they sound like they're doing twice the RPMs of a 4 stroke.
