I work for the Sanitation district in Hampton roads. We have several of these that power electric generators when our pump stations lose power. My assistant asked me "Why wouldn't we trade them out for newer engines?" Because they're Detroit's! If we take care of them they will run forever.
@@robertarthurs328 every 200,000 miles my 8V92 piled up catastrophically. All 3 were replaced, not worth rebuilding, on warranty. Cost me 2 weeks downtime every time. I dumped the truck once I paid for it. Garbage engine. 3406B putting 440 to the road, juiced with a new bigger injection pump and turbo, 1.3 million miles, one injector and a bearing roll. All the 2 cycle GM junk I had wasn’t as reliable collectively as one cat.
Awesome 👏😎 I grew up working 20 yrs in the business from 70-92... My favorite smell in the morning was diesel fuel from a Detroit 2 Stroker... Smells like POWER! 😂
FISHBOWLS! (GM New Look busses). Toronto had the TDH-53xx - A series. yeah man .. they were THE sound. So that makes you about 50. Not being a dick here .. just a two AM vomit-comet fist pump .. or bump - or whatever the kids do. The 6V-71 brought so many of us home in kinder and gentler days.
We had them in the Crown school buses here in the Los Angeles area up until the early 2000s. I remember as a kid sometimes we'd go on field trips in these old, rounded buses that were SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. Didn't learn that they were loud because of the Detroits until about a year ago.
El motor que impulsó a los autobuses MASA SOMEX series 1500, 2000, 2030 y 5000. Maravilla de máquina con transmisión Füller de 5 velocidades mas dual era música para los oídos conocedores. Por muchos años fue el motor más a avanzado de la época hasta la llegada de los motores de las series 50 y 60 para autobuses modernos y trailers. Excelente video. 😃👍🏻
Reminds me of my old school bus. It may have been an 8 v71, but I'm talking old bus that looked like an oversized Twinkie. The motor sounded similar, but a LOT louder, and faster idle.
Four 6-71 twin banks on my first boats (76 foot) in the navy 70-78. Inboards we’re electric start, outboards we’re air start. Then two 6-71L engines on my last smaller 40’ admirals boat.
Clearly this is a fresh rebuild and obviously not over fueling

Two stroke gas engines are smokey, diesels are actually quite clean. Check their working principle, unlike gas engines they get fresh air with every work-cycle.
Not a properly running one. Unless someone has replaced the injectors with higher capacity ones or something of the sort they don't smoke much at all. Now as far as leaking oil, they had a small problem with that, to be kind !
I WANT ONE! My father used to have big trucks in his business and his sales manager always talked about the Detroit 6v-71 and what a great engine it was.
We didn't have any 6V71's, but we did have regular 6-71s, 6-110s, slant 6-71s and 2-71s when I was in the US Navy. I spent many hours crossing the Clyde River on liberty boats, landing craft and Box-Ls listening to those engines. I'll pass on a recording. This one sounds great. Note that's it's a good idea to check the copper jumper lines to the injectors. We had one come lose and it filled the engine with diesel fuel! Another problem we had was the copper line from the fuel pump to the rail would crack. Since the fuel pump is driven off the blower, the pump blew fuel into the blower. No wonder the engine wouldn't shut down!
Now here's a real man who eats his Corn Flakes with 20-50, lol. Funny .. the same but not quite - 50 years later i still remember the drone of bias tires, laying across my grandpa's lap (before seat belts) on the road, wondering how he knew where to put that big shifter stick before drifting off to what amounted to heaven .. so yeah .. I totally get what you're saying. I could scoot of to la-la with 6-71 background. you're right .. someone should!
Worked for the electric company, a coal fired powerhouse. We had Euclid C6 dozers with 671’s in them. I can still hear them rolling up onto the coalpile. It’s been @ 40 years but my hearing is still damaged from them.
These powered all the "mobile lounges" at Dulle]s for years. It was explained to me that these were protecteded jobs and yet we had segregaton. I was MADE!
@@Coaltrain87. Also a....yes, a V24. Only for marine equipment. 24v71. Someone had the balls to put it on a sled pulling truck and let's just say it could take the 20,000 lb sled home if it wanted to.
A friend drove a concrete truck powered by a screamin' Jimmy in the days before air conditioning. Lost hearing in his left ear, right ear not too good either.

That's just about the sweetest sound in the world. And it never gets old.
Are you running klots 2 stroke techniplate? I dumped some in my 8v82 and now that’s all i will use now
Air stater mounted to a new Polaris patriot 850 2 stroke turbo
Never has a Detroit Diesel run so well, been kept so clean, or looked so good.

That is one beautiful-looking specimen of a 6v71.
That was the quietest air start I've heard in a long time .😉😊
Here in Argentina, two stroke engines like this still running on old firetrucks, the sound is amazing on full throttle.
Detroit Diesel Power. The sound of victory. USA1 GM1

The smell reminds me of the worst working conditions rain , snow , and desertheat , no Thanks
I knew it sounded nice, but smell?
Love the sound of those 6v71's. Reminds me of the sound of the old busses back when I used to take the bus.

Gotta love that 2-stroke sound!
I wish I could have a alarm clock with beautiful sound...... Na I would never get out of bed I would just lay and listen to it👍😊
2 stroke Detroits are just an oversized Polaris patriot engine. 850 patriot khaos turbo with an air starter anyone?
Nicest restoration of the Detroit diesel I’ve ever seen!
That's the engine for the truck God uses to cart the stars around every night.
I watched this with the sound off, literally couldn't tell when it started it was so clean 👌
Music 🎶 to my ears 👂 brings back good ole memories ❤️
For when your neighbors dog won't stop barking... 😁
If i had this i would 100% fire it up at 2am after the neighborhood dogs wake me up. Dont test me. 😅
Converting motor oil and fuel into noise , what sweet music to my ears .
I gotta get me one of those for the back of my garage, so my neighbors can enjoy it too ! at 5 AM
A beautiful All American sound !
The 6v53 and 71 just love load / work / revs .fabulous engines

Two-stroke diesels tend to be heavy on smoke. This one is surprisingly clean.

Reminds me of the tractor rides I would get has a kid, fall asleep on a hay bale to the sweet sound of these amazing pieces of engineering.
What beautiful engine.
That started so nice. Sweet sound.
PLEASE tell us what camera/microphone you used to film this. I can't believe how clean the sound is for 1-5ft away from open headers! Awesome!
Go pro
lmao
Bem observado. O som está ótimo mesmo.
That's a badass sounding motor.
Someone needs to make an 8 hour sound video on this!

No, you don’t wanna hear this for 8 hours. My dad worked a rig that had a couple 8v71s as floor motors, and good lord the constant drone never ended

I will. I've got a muffled 6v71 one I recorded too I might loop. I already have a few engine loops on my channel.
Maximum Overdrive made me click. Thought the air start sound was just a movie special effect back in the day.
Wow. Beautiful engine. Nice and clean
Magnificent sound - nearly unnatural for a diesel engine but great!👊
It’s completely natural for a Detroit diesel. These engines won wars for America 🇺🇸
Load ain't on it! Skidder op peddle too the metal!!
Sucks he never opened it up , that's where the sounds at

I always loved a Detroit
Nice job on the paint and tune. Must do a 5min. Lope ,lope and send it out again. Nice Video.
Got to love the sound of a Detroit 2-stroke
Nice sound. I actually had no idea there was detroit v6 diesels until now.
There's a v8 a v12 and a v16 also

Damn that's a beautiful motor. Nice paint job and it purrs better than a cat. 😂🙀
nice sounding two-stroke.
The beautiful sound of a screamin demon
music for the soul, congratulations!!!!!
The best motor gm made
Interesting? Compressed Air Start, eh? Looks to me like this Engine would be excellent in some kind of boat!!
Good Runner, thrown lots of those in the scrap bin !
Looks awesome! Is that factory-produced paint, or did you mix it yourself? And you have to love air starters :)
Air starters dont let me hear the engine knock and bang on cold starts though!
Napa other places sell a paint entitled "Alpine Green" and spray cans which is supposed to be the same color as OEM
Amazing piece of America
Now that's what I call a beer keg starter!
That sounds incredible
👌🏽 I love diesel engines.
It was already running when his finger touched the starter.
A friend drove a concrete truck powered by a screamin' Jimmy in the days before air conditioning. Lost hearing in his left ear, right ear not too good either.
I did. A Paystar IH with a 9-speed overdrive Fuller. McNeelus tub. No Jake.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Whomever tuned that baby girl was a smart individual!!!!
Love me some Detroit diesel sound
Que motor grande 👍👍👍
Beautiful sound !
I am Brazil...I have a GMC model 360 truck 1956 year and I puting a 6v 53 Detrot.
Is that a blower on there? IIRC DDs are 2 Stroke which need forced air.
I love the way it starts right up, no problem.
Sitting in the V.
What my neighbors hear every time I warm up my Harley...
I was going to put an 871 in my old 1975 MAN truck. Lol
for a second there in the beginning it sounded like a carbed chevy 2.8 liter v6 with hollow cats.
🎵🎶 to my ears beautiful
I had 8 v92 in my denning motor home that thing was evil turbo over super charger.
Just found a new motor for my Mazda.
Reminds me of the movie maximum overdrive
Sure that’s not a 92 series? Does sound wonderful, no smoke, I want to put it in a 3/4 ton dodge power wagon!
I love that sound the screaming Detroit
Beautiful rolling machine
That paint job is beautiful too! What paint did you use?
Nice running engine you got bud. Please tell me your putting it in a old truck. If you are I would love to see it.
Sounds like the old a113 people carriers I worked on for us army
The kind they put in old GMC Buses
That poor steering pump on the back silently screaming for oil...
Deffo a pump of some description but engine looks like its out of a crusher, Anderton clutch and belt drive pulley, deffo not automotive installation.
No drive gear in the pump
Makes me want to pull down my trousers and start leaking
Used 2 Detroits with gen sets in crab boat.
Nice motor
i wish i could buy one of those.
Yep that's a piece of awesome right there
Love this!
Sounds good
Why is nobody talking about the keg air tank? Thing looks awesome! how did you convert it?
❤ that 👂.
Emp proof, that engine will be around long after I'm dead.
I need to figure out how to make this my alarm clock
Doing what kt does best / SCREAMING
Has more cajones than a dodge cummins.😮
Epic sound
By the valve covers it looks like a 6V-92.
Superb !!👍
That's a beauty!
i can hear them logging skidders runnin wfo from 5 miles away ...sound jus like at!!!
Sweet!
