Lol they havent even started to phase that motor out of the military yet... Get new ones all the time. Sounds awesome only wish they would let me turn up my HEMMT like that...
Most of the few Detroit Diesel, CAT, and Chrysler powered Shermans were given to the European allies as part of the lend lease act. Most of the Sherman tanks and Pershing tanks we used were powered by Continental radials or Ford GAAs. The Higgins Landing craft boats used on D-Day were powered by Gray diesels or Scott gassers and the Higgins PT boats were powered by 3 huge Packard gasser engines. I like Detroits as much as the next guy, but give credit only where it is due.
is that 1 of those motors they had proplems with,cause my dad had a brand new 1979 kw,with some sort of v8 detroit i dont think they made them long, Kw had to put 3 motors in it before waranty was up on it,
Sweet, sweet bark, shame i'll probably never get to drive anything with one of these amazing motors...
I dont think theres a modern motor in production today that could match the rawness of this, although the good ol' CAT growl is pretty up there,and dare i say it, Scania's DC16 and older V8's :)
It is truly sad, these ol detroit diesels have what some would consider a beautiful sound. sadly new trucks simply do not, and never again shall sound this beautiful.
@djixtapu global warming is a big scam pluss have you seen how much DEF fluid costs? and the repairs for the new emission equipment FUCK THATTTT ill be rollin coal till i die brother and it sounds like you will be too
Nothing outlast a Cat! Detroits are pretty though but nothing on the durablity of cat. Cat introduced durability to the truck market back when 335 cumaparts were having to be rebuilt at 200,000 Cats could go over the 750,000 mark no questions asked. In the end Cat is the leader in all diesel aspects.
@Markmeblablabla because of the money involved for emissions. the heavy truck engine market only made up 6 or 7 percent of cats profits so they gave it the ax. Just the government killing more jobs with dumb ass emissions. Its funny how gas engines put out way more but they don't do a damn thing to make them cleaner
@laramie4x4 Wrong, there are LEV, ULEV, SULEV and gas engines with barely any emissions at all. I'm not a fan of it either, but its for our health NOT just the environment. One new diesel engine today is cleaner than I believe its 30 or 40 diesels made in 1980 combined. Think of the next generations, technology is evolving fast, back pack cell phones, memory, fuel economy, safety. It's a new world gotta be open minded. Your kids not having asthma and lung cancer growing up, priceless.
I've been wondering why they don't start bringing these engines back. You'd think that with as far as technology has come in the past 25 years that they would be able to re-design the old V6, V8, and V12 engines AND make them meet emissions stardards. I think that a MODERN V12 could be able to make AT LEAST 800-900 horse power and well over 2000lbft of torque. What a joy that would be!!! For now, we're just going to have to enjoy the classics!! AWESOME TRUCK!!!
thing that sounds so awesome about these v8's compared to my petrol v8 - the instant RAARGH! ness, and no matter what you do to that throttle once its done screaming.. it just beds back down.. settles in and idles at the perfect note straight away, like one pissed off demon of hell daring you to touch it - I want one
hey i like the cat engine too but used to have a 400 big cam with pump work done to it and i go make the guys with cats that had work done to them sick when i pulled past them on hills with more weight on too but now there is engines with massive torque with out working on them but i sure love the sound of the dd i drove many of them 671 8 92 and a 12v71 that worked good too
to all the kitty cat lovers out there give me a call when cat has an engine platform that has been around for 60+ years and is being produced for the military. 1938-present. 2 strokes are a work of art.
@pope54x im very well aware of that. but how long has cat been able to keep a sigle engine platform? 2 strokes are virtually unchanged in there basic design since 1938. cats longest production model motor, would prob be the 3406 line, they are a good motor. im well aware that cat supplies the military dozers. im a 91L construction equipment repairer, i work on cat DV100s every day and they are all a POS the D7s and D5's are nice no complants there
@psdpowerstroke There are still 318's on the road to this day, now that's a testament to durability. As for Cat's, they're fair until you break one... then you're fucked. Good luck finding someone to work on one in the middle of nowhere, let alone on short notice. As problematic as the smaller caterpillar engines are, I'd never have one in a truck.
@psdpowerstroke They powered the landing crafts at D-day, and built our country. They are still produced for the toughest military applications today because no other engine can do it :)
Just because the military buys it doesn't anything. I was in Army for 8 years as a 88M and I can tell you from experience they buy whats cheap not what's highest quality. When I retired they had started to phase out the V8 Detroit's.
it sounds the same as the one on maximum overdrive because she has strait pipes. NO muffler on the pipes like a regular truck. i know all about trucks and I know how to drive one and i know how to drive an excavator and Im only 13
Two strokes were never popular in the UK. There were a few around in the 50's and 60's, (Foden and Commer) and Bedford and Scammell fitted Detroits into the early 80's.
@MrSoccernugget I still think the ISX sounds like shit, both our T408SAR's have 530hp ISX's and they sound so constipated and well, weak... Small stacks and decent mufflers probably dont help either.
Certainly dont do the trucks any justice, in my opinion, if only the boss coulda spec'd em with C15's...
@drifterboyy93 nor the hp/tq to cubic inch ratio, plus when one of these old detroits breaks, you fix it with a couple bucks, not a couple thousand...
Is it a 60 Detoit in your rig ? Mechanics @ my work tell me they're pain in the asses.The 2strokes are much better &cooler sounding.Like this Silver Series 8V92. The newer 60 series aren't worth there weight in scrap. Sorry, just my opinon.
In my opinion we have four detroit 60 series two of which have over a million miles we love them. We have about 14 cat c13s and we have had alot of problems with them such as turbos. But we do have two 3406 cats and we love those. Just my opinion from the experiences ive had with those engine
seriously???? then there is something seriously wrong.we get c engine with over 500k and they havent had nay trouble.but there are a few that do have turbo trouble.1 or 2 a month but we fix them under warranty
yes finally somebody else that agrees.we have detroits that come in every 35-50k for new front seals.new bottom end bearings,new timing covers,new turbos,new injectors,the list just goes on and on.
no asshole it came from detroits TECH website.the guy that made the wiki page took it from the tech site.i guess cuz he made both.kinda sad when youre proved wrong isnt it?
you are making yourself look stupid by saying that. did you not watch the video of this truck pulling it bearly pulled it! Then go watch the 3408 get a full pull!
show me a DD ever made for a big truck and they have never gotten over the 1650 mark! They may have that much for industrial use and the are Cat's with around 30,000 torque!
are you retarded? where the fuck you gonna cram a MaK 3516 in a peterbilt? and yes older detroits (as i have one in my truck now) have well over 2250.mines putting 2850 to the ground.and no truck engine can get 30,000 torque
Dude do I have to get the spec sheet out! Damn dude they have like 1250 to 1450 Torque and yes that is the 8v92! Damn dude im mean that was decent for its time but it couldnt compete with a 1693, 3408, or any 3406!
well there is a 3408 cat with one turbo and fuel only! making 1250HP and well over 8000TQ so your deterds cant hang even if the can put out 2850 which they cant!
We all know that the universe is constantly expanding outward in all directions. Scientists used to think it was due to the BIG BANG. It was recently discovered that, IN FACT the outward expansion is due to the fact that the entire universe is trying to get away from Chuck Norris!! :-)
i think hes refering to other cats, but there the size of an f350 full size truck.....there retarded too, thing at 700rpm idle burns 42L of fuel an hour 2500hp each and roughly 7000ft lbs.....no clue of the model or id tell you, canada uses them for there new training ships......thell bring a 300 ton ship to 30 knots..but meh, i liked the old 6-71s on the old training ships :P wanna know why detroit is better then cat? lets see a cat run with 2 rods out the side and a fractured injector line :P
hahah true.we had one CAT run with 2 injectors gone and a blown rod on an excavator.we put an oil barrel on the catwalk and ran it for 5 hours like that to get the job done.
nice lol, but that aint 2 rods :P lol i aint got nothing against cat, they make good durable diesels. there nice engines, but i do LOVE the scream of a detroit
Yeah, as the 3408B (if that was the sole direct-injection model) had put out 450 horses and 1,450 foot-pounds of torque when the sun set on production and sale of the engine circa 1985.
cummins are by far the cheapest engines on the market, they're just too flimsy for the power they put out, i know, i've taken alot of N14 with broken valves, broken head, cracked block you name it they had it, so no cummins is not the best, maybe the most popular but that's it
detroits have a shit load of torque if u have it set up the right way not like all these other people that no nothing about them. i have a 12v71 and it runs better than a 600 cat
I saw an old W900A that had a 12v92TA in it while looking for reference pictures. I think it was used to haul coal around Pennsylvania. It could still be around.
it must've been fitted because you can only get a silver92 V12 by coupling two V6 together, and the engine bay must be quite crammed up because it's a hell of a size for an engine...should check that out because W900A came with 12V71
yes it does exist, but you have to couple two V6 together, you can do the same with the V8 and get a 16 but the thing is, it takes a lot of space, costs a lot of money and is quite complexe
no diesel ever made has shit on the 2 stroke detroits, regardless of how much horsepower of torque they have. I would fucking pick a 2 stroke detroit just to sound mean and to say i have one. How cool does it sound to say I have a cummins, or a caterpillar diesel? I got a fucking DETROIT DIESEL
If u actually drove a detroit 2 stroke ud be ditching it pretty quick, u have down gear like crazy with theme going up hill, they have no torque, their brutal on fuel, and u'll lose ur hearing. But yeah there interesting for a day until you want to really move soemthing efficiently
just drive a detroit with 18 speeds an up, you won't have any problem, as for fuel economy they're the same if not better then some other engines today.
This Detroit sounds sick! I presently have my eyes set on an ol Diamond T I found on someones lot. For sure it's the 8v92 Detroit goin on it with double 8" stacks. And for the discriminatin comments, if you're a truck lover, it would'nt matter what truck or engine sucks or is the best! In my opinion they are all great!
Detroit's hold up a hell of a lot longer than any cat out ther. That's why they arent making 2010 emission engines because accert technology sucks. Old detroits ran forever the series 60 is by far the best heavy duty engine on the road!! Try a new DD15, DD13, or soon coming DD16 and that will kick the cat king of the hills ass >....
That sound real bad ass and look good!!!

asshole you do realize that the 3408 is TWICE as big as this engine?
robby844 2 years ago
show me a DD ever made for a big truck and they have never gotten over the 1650 mark! They may have that much for industrial use and the are Cat's with around 30,000 torque!
Pope54x 2 years ago
are you retarded? where the fuck you gonna cram a MaK 3516 in a peterbilt? and yes older detroits (as i have one in my truck now) have well over 2250.mines putting 2850 to the ground.and no truck engine can get 30,000 torque
robby844 2 years ago
Dude do I have to get the spec sheet out! Damn dude they have like 1250 to 1450 Torque and yes that is the 8v92! Damn dude im mean that was decent for its time but it couldnt compete with a 1693, 3408, or any 3406!
Pope54x 2 years ago
Just checked the BIGGEST 8v92 with 500HP has 1325TQ so 2250 is way off and 2850 is just making your driptroit loving ass look stupid.

i wanna see a cat run with 2 rods though the side and a fractured injector line....
urbandestruction 1 year ago
well there is a 3408 cat with one turbo and fuel only! making 1250HP and well over 8000TQ so your deterds cant hang even if the can put out 2850 which they cant!
Pope54x 2 years ago
how is a any truck motor gonna make 8000tq?

@green72chevypickup Chuck norris cranked the fuel pump on it. Only Chuck can get 8000 Ft Lb of torque from an engine LOL

We all know that the universe is constantly expanding outward in all directions. Scientists used to think it was due to the BIG BANG. It was recently discovered that, IN FACT the outward expansion is due to the fact that the entire universe is trying to get away from Chuck Norris!! :-)

i think hes refering to other cats, but there the size of an f350 full size truck.....there retarded too, thing at 700rpm idle burns 42L of fuel an hour 2500hp each and roughly 7000ft lbs.....no clue of the model or id tell you, canada uses them for there new training ships......thell bring a 300 ton ship to 30 knots..but meh, i liked the old 6-71s on the old training ships :P wanna know why detroit is better then cat? lets see a cat run with 2 rods out the side and a fractured injector line :P

hahah true.we had one CAT run with 2 injectors gone and a blown rod on an excavator.we put an oil barrel on the catwalk and ran it for 5 hours like that to get the job done.
robby844 1 year ago
nice lol, but that aint 2 rods :P lol i aint got nothing against cat, they make good durable diesels. there nice engines, but i do LOVE the scream of a detroit

@detroitmansilver92 Not true nothing can touch a B model on long lasting and nothing is faster than a 1693TA or a 3408 and has more torque!
Pope54x 2 years ago
i think a big cam 400 cummins with some fuel pump work wood give a 1693 a run for its money
green72chevypickup 2 years ago
Yeah, as the 3408B (if that was the sole direct-injection model) had put out 450 horses and 1,450 foot-pounds of torque when the sun set on production and sale of the engine circa 1985.

I like those detroit diesels that sounds like that. Sounds like the Green goblin truck of the movie maximum overdrive.
I guess why these are so loud is because it always runs at a high rpm's
bigred42091 2 years ago
Detroit diesels are loud like that 'cause they're 2stroke engines.1500 RPMs sound more like 3grand.

other then this detroit, which was designed while your grandfather was still chasin your granny through the feilds :P
mageac 2 years ago
cummins are by far the cheapest engines on the market, they're just too flimsy for the power they put out, i know, i've taken alot of N14 with broken valves, broken head, cracked block you name it they had it, so no cummins is not the best, maybe the most popular but that's it
detroitmansilver92 2 years ago
it seems to me dat Detroits are more popular
TheNastyBone 2 years ago
detroits have a shit load of torque if u have it set up the right way not like all these other people that no nothing about them. i have a 12v71 and it runs better than a 600 cat

I saw an old W900A that had a 12v92TA in it while looking for reference pictures. I think it was used to haul coal around Pennsylvania. It could still be around.
michlian 2 years ago
it must've been fitted because you can only get a silver92 V12 by coupling two V6 together, and the engine bay must be quite crammed up because it's a hell of a size for an engine...should check that out because W900A came with 12V71
detroitmansilver92 2 years ago
yes it does exist, but you have to couple two V6 together, you can do the same with the V8 and get a 16 but the thing is, it takes a lot of space, costs a lot of money and is quite complexe

breakitracing 2 years ago
no diesel ever made has shit on the 2 stroke detroits, regardless of how much horsepower of torque they have. I would fucking pick a 2 stroke detroit just to sound mean and to say i have one. How cool does it sound to say I have a cummins, or a caterpillar diesel? I got a fucking DETROIT DIESEL
JtsGreene 2 years ago
If u actually drove a detroit 2 stroke ud be ditching it pretty quick, u have down gear like crazy with theme going up hill, they have no torque, their brutal on fuel, and u'll lose ur hearing. But yeah there interesting for a day until you want to really move soemthing efficiently
Markmeblablabla 2 years ago
just drive a detroit with 18 speeds an up, you won't have any problem, as for fuel economy they're the same if not better then some other engines today.

This Detroit sounds sick! I presently have my eyes set on an ol Diamond T I found on someones lot. For sure it's the 8v92 Detroit goin on it with double 8" stacks. And for the discriminatin comments, if you're a truck lover, it would'nt matter what truck or engine sucks or is the best! In my opinion they are all great!
bcrich6969 3 years ago
Agreed! Two stroke Detroits are the best in my books! No-one needs to argue with that - and those that do need some sort of help!

panhead6574 3 years ago 3
Detroit's hold up a hell of a lot longer than any cat out ther. That's why they arent making 2010 emission engines because accert technology sucks. Old detroits ran forever the series 60 is by far the best heavy duty engine on the road!! Try a new DD15, DD13, or soon coming DD16 and that will kick the cat king of the hills ass >....
