Detroit Diesel 6v71 powered International Fleetstar

This is short clip of my dad driving my International Fleetstar 2000d with a Detroit Diesel 6v71n engine. We're just figuring out how to shift this thing so cut him some slack as he misses the shift to 4th.. :-)

sounds like he missed a gear, haha

[turbosuperiority]

@huckster78 I'd say that's an understatement! haha

@turbosuperiority The laugh was priceless!!

[turbosuperiority]

@TechMaven Ah man.. I was trying so hard not to laugh but just couldn't keep it in lol.. thanks!

If an inline-six Cummins 855 could fit under the hood of this particular rig, then why not the Detroit Diesel 8V-71N or 6V-92TA?

[turbosuperiority]

Yeah, not sure on the length comparisons between those engines, but this truck came with a choice of three engines when new. Two were big gassers and one was the 6v71n. I don't think the 6v92 was in production yet. Could be wrong though.

Is this detroit 6 cylinder the original engine?

[Mysterio2276]

Back when trucks were still cool... :)

Is it possible to put a 8v71 Detroit diesel in an IH Loadstar 1800, with the butterfly hood? Fantastic truck, Awsome sound!!! Love detroit!

[noonsight2010]

That takes me back. I had a toy tipper truck and trailer version of this truck. I think it's still in a cupboard at my parents house. Great!

[CreggaRoseEyes100]

@turbosuperiority What about the Detroit Silver 92? What kind of mileage does that one get against the Cummins 855?

[JGMagoo]

The 2000-D Internationals came only with 6-cylinder in-line engines.... The 6-71 in-line Detroit(238hp), the NH 250(hp) and later NTC-290(hp) Cummins and the Red Diamond (450 & 501cid) series of IH gasoline engines. The basic cab was the same as the International Loadstar (2-ton) AND the International PICKUP truck(!) of the 1961 to 1968 era.The cab was quite short and narrow. With the big Detroits & Cummins engines, 2-cylinders were under the hood, and 4-cylinders were in the cab!!

NOISY!!

Nothing sound sweeter than 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engine. Harley Davidson engine comes a close second though.
