Drove an old 6V92 with a 13 for a fertilizer company and couldn't get it to shift for crap. I asked the boss what I was doing wrong. He said your trying to drive it like a 4 stroke diesel. Rev the crap out of it and run it up to 1800 rpm to 2000. I cringed at the thought, but that's what I did and had no shifting problems again. Man that thing screamed. Now the Brown double stick they had is another story.
i hear the 2 strokes really move high HP and tons of tourque what would be a good DD motor to put in a old 2500 i bet the motor is pricy thou anyone know where i can find indo on old DD's
@6detroitdiesel5 Yeah it really aint hard. Ive floated once or twice but i really don't believe in it. If the syncros r bout gone then theres not really much to destroy and ur gona probably have to replace the syncros anyway so y not float it till you get new syncros right? and a two speed rear, sometimes its better not to use the clutch but i would recoment using it. when the 2 speed wears out i recoment using the clutch for part of the shift and dont clutch the rest. It makes it fall in better
@SkywalkerTibor to stay in the power band, it has all of its power low in the rev range(which it has very little rev range), the gears are short, he has a 13 speed with overdrive. so that is the way to shift. hope i covered it all
@vistaman73 yeah you made it all clear to me. but I gotta say to drive this truck demands very hard driver job. Shifting all time you can never even grab the steering wheel with both hands and listening to the frickin loud noise for 8 or 10 hours a day might be extremly exhausting.
@SkywalkerTibor yeah thats part of the job, being a trucker is hard work, but usually the drivers like the sound of a detroit diesel, i mean, who doesn't? lol. it is exhausting, but mostly worth it.
@SkywalkerTibor old 2 stroke Detroits don't like to be lugged. they LOVE to turn some rpm, that's how them make power. the irony is they run best when they're runnin high. that's how they got the nickname "Screamin' Detroit's"
you can float anything you really only need a clutch for start and stop. Inexperienced driver down there all manual trannys can be floated( No clutch). ALL OF THEM
@TractorTrailerAndrew True all can be floated, but you shouldnt fload a syncromesh cause it'll destroy the syncros if you don't rev-match 100% rite which is hard to do but not imposible
@northeasteg6 No, you need it in a car, or any vehicle with a syncronized tranny for that matter, unless u wana destroy your tranny... Now, in an unsyncronized tranny, such as this tranny, its ok, and is acually better
@travster100 Just because you see a console, doesnt mean its a cab over. It just doesnt have a very long hood. I have a 1974 Chevrolet Bison that has the identical interior. The hood is no longer than that of my Chevy pickup, but its not a cab over. The engine is so long, it has to come thru the cab, so the shifter is WAY at the back of the cab.
im driving a 2010 pro star atm with a cummins isx in it you cant hear it run going down the road at times and you cant clime a aint hill loade or unloaded lol i wish i had a detroit or a cat
I like the way that old detroit sound with that 13speed. I have a s-60 12.7 470 in a 94 377 pete that i got 9 years ago and i love the sound of it with straighpipes.
My 2009 Freightliner has a 10 speed automatic transmission with a paddle shifter.
The ol' skool super truckers like to double clutch their 18 speeds ...as for me, hauling a Super B road train is as effortless as driving a motor coach or an RV.
I see a couple of provinces had put clauses in that if take your Class A or 1 test on an auto,that that is all you will be allowed to drive.Anybody can hold a steering wheel and slap a paddle.
I drove big trucks in the 1970's. My favorite wasn't the 10 speed or the converted 10 speed or the smooth 13 speed. it was my 1957 Mack with a 2-stick 5x4. you used 15, the under-under was way under! like 1/2mph in 1st. you had to match the rpm and shift it just so, no clutch, and if you did it just right it would touch 0-2 teeth. 30 years but i can still do it in my head
Second type of transmission I learned on. The first was the B-Series Mack quad transmission. The it was off to this. It took a little while to graduate to easier trucks to drive. It was a Cheverolet Bison cabover
this engine sound like the i think the 8v detroits that be in those greyhound busses were they 2 stroke engines the old ones that leaned to one side while going down the road ?
The transmission could be a RTO-9513 or even a RTO-12513 It would not be a RTO-6613 because they have a completely different shift pattern as you're not splitting your gears in the RTO-6613, they use a deep reduction with 3 deep reduction gears.
I heard of Detroit Diesel V12's coming some Kenworths and Peterbilts. Does anyone know the horsepower output or how they sounded?. It would be nice to have a video clip with good quality of a V12 tractor going down the road. I read that in 1969 MCI (Motor Coach Industries) did a 100 bus built project where they put V12 Detroits with 4-speed Fullers. Greyhound bought all 100 of them sending majority to Canada and a few here but the drivers broke the transmissons alot. Would be great to see.
Some of the big Chevy's and GMC conventionals came with v/12's. The sound is very similar to a 318, but different. Try to find a Terex video. Maybe you can find a v/12 in one of those.
Hey, whats the rev range on a typical 4 stroke diesel compared to this 2 stroke diesel? And is it turbocharged? (referring to the slight whistle i hear in the vid)
Yep, ur typical old truck, screamin' old two stroke Detroit roarin in ur ears and rolls of duct tape holdin ur coffee in place. Just the way it should be!
great sound! Reminds me of a trip accross Canada by Greyhound bus in the early 90's , must have used the same engine. Here in Britain we don't see any two stroke diesels, the only one I know of is the Napier Deltic rail locomotive engine (on some of my videos). Are there performance advantages in having a two stroke rather than four stroke engine?
yea those two cycles had their band up high just like any other two smoke. if im correct didnt those detroits have a turbo and blower combo setup? i love the sound of them with a nice open exhaust system and and comin down on a full jake, nothin else in the world quite like it. it will damn near make you deaf,lol!
All Detroits had blowers because they needed them to work correctly. Yes, some were equipped with turbo's, some with twin turbo's too, nicest sounding engines in the world
after 1,600 rms its just wasting fuel and your already passed your peak torque but who cares as long as your not paying for. so many bonehead truck drivers.
I saw the other two vids where you had some serious loads. Old detroit sounded like she was struggling a little. Besides the exhaust, are there any other mods done to the truck?
Cool, any guesses as to how much power it's putting out. Also, is that a turbo 671 or a NA? I think an intercooled turbo would make a real difference with that old Detroit.
i dont think this retard injen00 has ever even driven a truck before if he thinks that after 1600 your wasting fuel and if he has he prolly lugs the shit out of it in
No Payattention to what year truck he said he drove . All he knows is these computer controled diesels he dont know about the old mechanicals that ran flat on the floor lug to 16-1500 grab a gear and smasher down
haha yeah hes prolly never been in a truck with a mechanical engine in it in his life and i know what am i talkin about i mean ive been driving trucks since i was 13 and working on them
a detroit doesnt hit its peak torque until about 2000 and besides it gets better fuel economy at higher rpms anyway..so know what your talking about before you say it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
peak torque at 2000 you are fucking stupid. and your just pissing fuel away. we are not talking about gas engines retard. you shift at a lower rpm not only do u get the most torque but u can shift quicker. the horsepower is at a higher rpm to keep u going. I drive a 95 granit with mack tranny. everytrucks different fuck off besides maximum overdrives the best movie
I have a 1980 chevy c-70 tandem bumptruck with a 427 gas and 5+4 transmissions. I used to drive that thing up around 4500 rpm allday long, talk about a screamer! the only way to get the damn thing outta the barn.
Those Detroit blown two-strokes need all the gears they can get, and Eaton-Fuller's RTLO-14713 series (superseded by the RTLO-14913) were among the first gearboxes with short enough drops for the 6-71's restrictive powerband. I've still yet to see an FRO-15320 gearsplit 20-speed (based on the FRO-15210B 5+5), which would be as close to optimum as modern transmission manufacture can get nowadays.
Which is easy enough nowadays with one of Eaton Fuller's RTLO-14918B gearsplit 5+4's, or alternately an FRO-14210B into a short-drop air-shifted axle to emulate the gear split. Always wondered how they pulled the "no-shift" shift off with old-school Mack TRT's and TRQ's, as they'd have to work both levers mighty fast going from one High-Split to the next Low-Split.
Some guys have all the fun get to drive 2 stroker with a 13 speed.Brings back memories of when i first started driving.Cut my teeth on old 13 speeds unlike the damn auto shifts and electronic engines now.Bring back the old days

We were having some serious problems with some junk in the fuel system... got it worked out. & yes it JUST got some more mods! with more planned.

Cool, any guesses as to how much power it's putting out. Also, is that a turbo 671 or a NA? I think an intercooled turbo would make a real difference with that old Detroit.

Yes :P

i dont think this retard injen00 has ever even driven a truck before if he thinks that after 1600 your wasting fuel and if he has he prolly lugs the shit out of it in
Dirtbikeracer250 3 years ago
No Payattention to what year truck he said he drove . All he knows is these computer controled diesels he dont know about the old mechanicals that ran flat on the floor lug to 16-1500 grab a gear and smasher down

a detroit doesnt hit its peak torque until about 2000 and besides it gets better fuel economy at higher rpms anyway..so know what your talking about before you say it
Dirtbikeracer250 3 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
peak torque at 2000 you are fucking stupid. and your just pissing fuel away. we are not talking about gas engines retard. you shift at a lower rpm not only do u get the most torque but u can shift quicker. the horsepower is at a higher rpm to keep u going. I drive a 95 granit with mack tranny. everytrucks different fuck off besides maximum overdrives the best movie

all you do when u shift at a lower rpm is lug it and thats how you fuck engines up so kno what you talk about before you speak fuckin dumbass

I have a 1980 chevy c-70 tandem bumptruck with a 427 gas and 5+4 transmissions. I used to drive that thing up around 4500 rpm allday long, talk about a screamer! the only way to get the damn thing outta the barn.

Those Detroit blown two-strokes need all the gears they can get, and Eaton-Fuller's RTLO-14713 series (superseded by the RTLO-14913) were among the first gearboxes with short enough drops for the 6-71's restrictive powerband. I've still yet to see an FRO-15320 gearsplit 20-speed (based on the FRO-15210B 5+5), which would be as close to optimum as modern transmission manufacture can get nowadays.

my grandpa use to drive a cabover freightliner with a detroit in it and a 4+4 and he keeped it wound up were you couldnt even tell he was shifting it
Dirtbikeracer250 3 years ago
Which is easy enough nowadays with one of Eaton Fuller's RTLO-14918B gearsplit 5+4's, or alternately an FRO-14210B into a short-drop air-shifted axle to emulate the gear split. Always wondered how they pulled the "no-shift" shift off with old-school Mack TRT's and TRQ's, as they'd have to work both levers mighty fast going from one High-Split to the next Low-Split.
