@blackandgold51 - a 318 Detroit is a 6 cylinder. 653 or 6V53 is a 6 cylinder x 53 CID per cylinder, 6x53 = 318. An 853 (I'm not even sure 8s were built on the 53 series) would be a 412.
@Alrgc2Air Ha Ha Ha, This is really so funny. I was actually joking that you pointed out how someone else failed at maths, but i didn't realise that you did too!!!!! Aaaah, i love youtube!!!!!! Its taking my mind off living in Brisbane at the moment ;-)
@TurbinePower69 - tank engines?Or just replacements for repowering existing trucks? I'm under the impression that the miltary Hummers use the 6.5 Detroit...
@Alrgc2Air Yes..actually there is 3, but only One, is still retained by GM....and that "Detroit Diesel" is actually under AM General and mfg'd by that divisions GEP (General Engine Products) of which the current "light duty
line up of (automotive) diesels are produced, including the military Hummv's.
The medium & heavy duty Detroit Diesel is no longer a part of GM whatsoever, and is split in two with the ON-Hwy truck div. owned by Daimler-Benz & OFF-hwy owned TOGNUM / MTU...Germany.
great job on the truck guys but i still have to say pour the fuel to it"tune it up" that will be a different truck completely with black smoke coming out of them nice new chrome stacks "one bad to the bone KW"
"love them old school Detroit's drive it like you stole it Detroit's"
gotta love the old 2 stroke detroits well unless you have to try and work on them today. that guy knows how to drive it too, foot to the floor, high rpm shifts, and also beautiful KW. Makes me happy and proud to see those beauties still on the road. I work in Sevice Dept. of KW dealership and gotta say we take much pride in our work keeping those Kenworths on the road.
that thing would be hell on wheels with a jake!!!! crap thats loud!!!!
my pops had a 68 white 4000, restored it in 1980 when he bought it and also installed a jake while rebuilding the engine. he just sold it last year, after 27 years of owning it. I miss the sound of that 318... beautiful!!!!! nice K-W!!!
Alpha Beta grocery stores in southern California use to have a fleet of GMC Astro 95's with 8V71's 318HP. I grew up on listening to them & this is the closest sound to them I have heard. I am going to find an old photo & add a clip of this sound some day (with permission of course) my brother knows what I am talking about. I remember Chet Wilcox drove one & parked it behind the store on Mt Acadia blvd in Clairemont Zip code 92111. Any one else from San Diego remember
DUDE THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!! lol all it needs is the HAPPY GO LUCKY toy trailer and the mean lookin face on the front. but yeah man. plus i love that movie, i want them to make it on DVD but its only on VHS lol.

@Alrgc2Air Yes, 8V53's were built....many used in Military and various industrial applications...have even seen
a few in class 8 trucks..but, very rare. The 6v53, 8v71 & 8v92's are still being produced NEW...primarily for
the military, though some get channeled off to the marine sector.

Alrgc2Air 11 months ago
@Alrgc2Air None in tanks, but replacements in APC's, gen sets, etc, etc. The Hummers do use "detroits"
...however, most people get confused with the difference between the "modern day" Detroit diesel that
produced the diesels (four cycle) for hummers, etc (really, GM Diesel) and the INDUSTRIAL Detroit Diesel
that was Originally, GM Diesel, and produced the two cycle diesels for marine, industrial, military and
heavy truck apps. and now 4 cycle.
