Great auld truck there with a fine tipping trailer , the V8 is going mighty well , these engines and trucks should not be killed off this is heritage at its best ,,thank you for the wounderful video , i could watch it all day long ,,all the very best
I used to drive the narrow cabbed TM Bedford with the v6 engine Detroit on a night trunk down to Slough with chocolate powder in a bulk tipping trailer on a job and finish guaranteed 12 hrs we used to thrash them down and back ,the harder you drove them the better they went,good old days
I didn't know they put this engine in the crusade ! Rolls Royce or Cummins normally ? I remember the Bedford they had the Detroit in , loved the sound , it's fantastic people are keeping these on the road , well done and thank you
I must admit I have Never seen a Scammel Crusader fitted with a Detroit in the UK,the only engine options here were Rolls Royce or Cummins to my knowledge,it might have been an export only option but that was one mean machine lugging that stone ballast up that hill great to hear that distinctive sound.
@@santopiantado1161 Hi Santo. The 8V71 seemed to average about 4 4.5 MPG in it's natural state with a turbo they got 6.5. The 1693 Cat was a powerful engine in it's time but it was a bit thirsty. The Series 60 was very economical
As a kid, I always wondered how the Leyland Crusader of the Salt Works could sound so funny and insignificant, but could carry a HUGE load...little did I know the might of a Detroit diesel!!
Obviously in some British colony, driving on the wrong (left) side! 😄 Was it an imperative that these 2-stroke-cycle diesels, like the Detroit or Commer, had straight pipes with no mufflers? I'd like to build a project 4-71 Jimmy into an older 1-ton or heavier truck, but couldn't see it not muffled.
@@zopEnglandzip The 6LXB Gardners were good on fuel but slow as a snail. The straight 8s had more power but used a bit more juice about 6.5mpg which an 8V71T could get pulling a triaxle trailer.
@@andrewking9761 a friend of mine works in the ratcliffe power station, they have a brace of diesel engines for "brown start" one is the v8 detroit, the other is the later turbocharged gardner 6. It amuses me that these should be the engines of choice for when all else fails. Personally now they are both historic relics, I'd always rather listen to the gardner song other than that I'm not sure we should compare them too much, produced for different markets with different requirements and both exceptionally well made.
Chris,these 2strokes are NOT revving all that high they just sound that way because all 8cylinders fire every revolution of the crankshaft, if it was a 4stroke only 4cylinders would have fired every revolution of the crankshaft so it sounds as though the 2stroke is reviving twice as fast when in fact the engine or crankshaft speed is the same probably around 2200rpm,also the 2stroke has less effective silencers because it can’t run with any back pressure in the exhaust system it has to be a straight through pipe or near enough.

It sounds awesome, you can't beat the sound of a V8!
beautiful countryside, too.
Passed my HGV1 in a Scammel Crusader..May 1980..belting machine..
Sounds Great!Good to see a Crusader still working😎👍

a few were made officially .and were sold in the uk, as far as i know .
There is one located in the North of England but badged Leyland
Well done, fabulous noise trap in between valley, super rare scammell keep videos coming.
Sounds the business Great sound love the noise of the Detroit diesel.
Fantastic sound from the old stroker. Shame fuel costs and emission laws killed most of them off.
Does 2 strokes are so hard on fuel consupmtion Compared whit the engine's of that era?

It makes perfect sense.. why not turn on your heater, and open the window?
Going really well,, hardly any smoke

Learnt to drive hgv class one on a scammell crusader in Germany also drove foden 16 tonners with what we called a hh box and a gb box!
Nothing better than a Detroit!
What a nice sound.
The sound is amazing
Very beautiful truck and beautiful Sound 😍
Shaun Lambardo restoring a Scammell as well! =)
Impresionante
Still active on this account was this truck turned to a tipper and painted blue
if i could like this video 100 times I would
Were is this New Zealand?
Where is this filmed.....sounds great.....is the Detroit a conversion.
No, factory fitted👍
Wow a racing car that can pull a Jumbo Jet,all those angry Motown wasps buzzing under the cab.

Looks a lot like New Zealand country side not sure where though
How much would that rock fill weigh my guess about 30 tons?
i love this noise
Nice👍👍 #SachinKumarRana
Sounds like the camera man's cracking one off.
flipper .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cant blame him really, truck porn !
Is that a rare truck.
👍👍👍👍👍
That truck in nz
beauty
Sounds like an 8V-92 NA . Could be an 8-71 TA , but I don't think so .
Mate, its a 8v71, ok.
Is that on jake? It got away with him...
A Think Your On The Jake
I hate to mention this but a Jake is only used on down hill runs to keep the vehicle brakes cool,you need to leave the juice alone.
v8 pwr
I always think that these 2 strokes sound as if they will explode. I hate to hear engines revving at great speeds
Compared to the gentle melody of Gardner it sounds a bit busy.
They dont rev that high but i get your point
