Start of Detroit diesel powered mack, to see if the repaired shutters work correctly, it does have a fuel issue, we are going to remedy that once the weather warms up
I loved the R600 Mack since I was a kid in the 1970s beautiful shaped cab and windscreen. I love the 8V71 also and want have this combination one day. The metallic blue superliner with the V12 looks and sounds awesome google that one.
Why in the world anyone would put a Detroit in a Mack! I own one, it leaked, noisy and ate lots of fuel. Loved my Macks with Mack engines and drive train. One tough reliable truck.
Well Strange or not they were made with every and any engine combo . We had an old R7 that used to pull bulk tanker for ProVan it came with the same V8 Detroit a 318 HP Detroit and a 18 sp road ranger we used it to pull the lowboy and Excavator / 953 Dozer ..and it was loud ..
I saw something on the internet one time that said about 35 % of macks had Detroit diesels .....must have been ordered that way I think some of the mack diesels back in the day had a problem of throwing rods so maybe that is why.
rusttrail3 that's very possiblle; seeing a Detroit in a Mack is still a novelty for me; as all of the Mack trucks I knew about, in my hometown had the traditional Mack engines in them. I really enjoy watching videos like this
I used to pump fuel at a husky truckstop in 1987 and a cabover mack came in every week while i worked there - factory 8v92 in it. Driver would tilt the cab up and many-a-times while I filled it up, some drivers filling up at other pumps would see that and come over, make convo with the Mack dude because they were surprised at a DD in a mack.
That's an interesting comparison. My father had a 3406 Cat and was impressive but there sections were I thought it was " a bit doughy " like it seemed to lose momentum and then I thought a Detroit would be going better at this stage of the trip. He had 6-71 single drive cabover truck 10sp overdrive and 4.11 Rockwell and an easy 70 miles an hour and got just over 5 1/4 miles to a gallon driven in a way with no regard for fuel economy. No breakdowns ever.
Sounds like youve got a sticky injector, not exactly shocked though not having the air cleaner on it. You really need an air filter on that. even if you dont have the air cleaner assembly, diesels HAVE to have one, more so than a gas engine. Just make sure its correct because the wrong air filter can take the rings out.
@@holyford86 I didn't say it was. Our trucks were parked in an industrial area with a bunch of other trucks. Coming in on a cold morning the smoke was like a London fog. Twenty or more cold Detroits and Macks surging at cold idle, the smoke didn't rise above 20 feet in below zero weather. Modern diesels don't have that smell, really takes me back.
Don Bartram was that 425 Cat the 1693 turbo overhead cam engine and correct that was a lot of horsepower in it's time. I grew up reading about all these American engines Cat, Cummins, Detroit, Mack.I'm from Brisbane Australia my father was a truck driver had a 6-71 single drive a 160 cummins and a 3406a Cat in a truck called a leader that was cabover like an F700 shape
Donald Bartrum thank's for response just out of curiousity how many miles do you think you travel in your trucking career. My guess would be about 2.5/ 3 million. I want to move to America but the black ice would not be fun to drive on.
1st of all move to the south.. LOL I'm in Florida now, no black ice here. 2nd I've driven everything from dumps to regional , never went over the road , never wanted be away from home that long. as far as mileage when I was regional I put around 100K a year on my truck delivering to grocery store chain at Whole Foods. I put 425K on a 2010 PreStar from 2010 to 2014
Depending on the color of the bulldog on the front of the truck would tell you which engine the truck had in it . Gold Bulldog were maxidyne Mack own truck engine that was originally designed to run with the maxitorque 5 speed transmission has to where other engines that Mack produced could run only 10 speeds and above. yes pretty much has to do with operating range of the engine I remember driving them back in the early nineties run them down to around 1000 RPM and watch the pyrometer then shift. now the trucks with the silver or Chrome Bulldogs could have a Detroit caterpillar Cummins Hercules Waukesha or Scania engine.
Seems like the old Maxidyne 237's made the max at 12 or 1300 r's and 235 at 21. Didn't need gears for it, just a toggle switch instead of an accelerator pedal. Wide open or nothing. DRove them with 5 and 6 speeds. The 6 was a 5 + reverse and the other was Direct and Hi. Go through 5 then get the other. 35 to 62 m.p.h. in the last gear and you couldn't heat it up. It just kept pulling.
A buddy of mine, years ago, was going to be driving an OLD Mack for a guy. He hopped in and cranked it over, and a detroit growled to life under the hood. Asked me what color the Dog was on the hood, I said gold. His reply was "It lies!" lol I assume someone either swapped the dog, or swapped the engine.

This ole' Mack sounds so damn good with that V8 Detroit in it, I love them Detroits for that reason

From what I seen that old bulldog is in decent shape, That Detroit sounds good.
It really was, it was sold pretty soon after this video was made, it had sentimental value to the previous owner.
That maxidyne did not play either with a Detroit highway bound nice an clean🙋⭐
I bet it smells great.
She’s a sweet sounding old cream puff but that cold start was a bit brutal. Sounded like it had a little bit of a peck on the right bank too!!!
always surprises me to see a Detroit in a Mack. A Mack R700 without a Mack V8 engine seems weird to me.
Detroits forever!
Why in the world anyone would put a Detroit in a Mack! I own one, it leaked, noisy and ate lots of fuel. Loved my Macks with Mack engines and drive train. One tough reliable truck.
It was factory built this way, was never repowered
Would of been nice to see the rest of the truck.
Lookin good bub!
Mack trucks also use their own line of 4-stroke Diesel engines, like Econodyne, Maxidyne and Thermodyne.
237 Maxidyne was years ahead of it's time with the high torque rise design one of my favourite mack engines painted gold compact as well
They can certainly burn some oil! But nonetheless an awesome engine
Just curious; was there no air cleaner attached? It was hard d to tell from the video
Mack is the best
Wow, nice cold start! Air in fuel !
Don't see to many Detroit's in macks.
Their own 4-stroke Diesel engines were more common, like the Econodyne, Thermodyne and Maxidyne!
seems a bit strange, a 2 stroke Detroit in a Mack; I like it though. And not overly loud

I can remember seeing one in PHX, AZ on I-17 in 1988.

I feel like that Detroit is trying to pretend its a Cat with that yellow paint on the valve covers.

It has one, it was removed just to put the starting fluid to it, haha
0:05 the moaning/humming sound is swish. Gotta love a good old diesel.
I can smell this video.
It's not a bad smell

they don't make them like they use to
Never saw a Detroit in a Mack before.
This was factory installed, from what I've heard they are not common
Hell no they're not.. I drove a RS700 with a MACK V8 & I drove one with a 425 Cat , which was a big motor back in 75.

Ricky's old truck?
Now this here is what I call sexy!!! Nice truck !!!
For Detroit powered Mack lovers Check out this site . Type in "Junoir Elmores 1984 Superliner" a grouse looking Mack with 8V92TA
If you cranked my truck like that you would be looking for another job
Well, this one was old, beat and owned by the guy cranking it.
Fala o valor
I am looking for a truck like this one.
This was not my truck and it has since been sold, I dont know where it went after being sold

The gold bulldog on the front of the mack meet that it was pure
Mack motor, transmission, and rears, it was all Bulldog.
Scania... In a Mack?😕
@@SOU6900 I know right doesn't make sense but yes midsize Mack Trucks of this late 70s 80s used Scania engines Mack used a bunch of different engine manufacturers besides their own engineering.
What would posse someone to buy a MACK truck with a Detroit engine.
MACK engines were the king of torque
Detroit's lacked torque
There is nothing wrong with DD engines, but to put one in a Mack, just seems wrong. Mack trucks, Mack engines, peroid.
Mack put this engine in, it wasn't converted
@@holyford86 I get that. I don't blame Mack, it was the buyer who wanted it that way. He shoulda bought a GM if he wanted a DD engine.
