    I grew up on the Texas gulf coast and my grandfather was a shrimper. I would spend my summer breaks with my grandparents and during that time I pretty much lived on their shrimp boat. He hand built the boat in the early 80's and had twin 6V53s in it for power. The sound of those screaming Detroits will be forever in my mind. I truly love that sound.

      I remember the sound from being a kid too. My father worked for a company in the late 70s early 80s that had a fleet of k100 kenworths powered by 6v92s and 8v71s. As a kid playing in the yard i could hear the oldman coming from blocks away.

      Im from Germany and I fell in love with Detroit Diesel Engines. Dont know why but I guess because the fact they scream so loud and dont sound like every Diesel Engine is what makes them so Special. Sadly these engines are non existent here in Germany

    Geez the mis-information around here. GM had 6.2's since the early 80's. Then went with a 6.5L. Then offered a turbo 6.5L. At one time offered all three at the same time. Ford had 6.9L's, 7.3L's, 7.3L turbo's...then 7.3L direct injected "Powerstrokes" since 94.5. Dodge had the 5.9L since 1988. In 1991 they introduced intercoolers and a few minor things like auto-overdrive etc. The Cummins always had a turbo since day one.

      I’m so sick of hearing this crap. The 6.2 and 6.5 were a clean sheet designed diesel, by Detroit. Neither of them are converted gas engines and neither is the Olds 350 diesel that everybody claims is too. The 6.2 and 6.5 while not powerhouses, will run a long time if you actually maintain them. I’ve seen many with over 300k and still running well. There are fixes for most all of their shortcomings, and for its intended purpose, an economical engine for a full size truck, they work very well.

Ya I don't miss those useless boat anchors 1 bit. & believe me when i tell you everytime i came to a hill or mountain to climb while loaded the only thing those Detroits wanted to do was turn around & go home. They were gutless when it came to power... gee i cant imagine why they stopped making those things! ... oh yeah now I remember! They had no power compared to a Cummins or a CAT!

    How did you fit that engine in your truck? I would love to put a 8V53 in my 2005 F-350 Super Duty and get rid of the 6.0 Power Stroke! Very nice and awesome sound there sir.

      Itd be a tight fit for even a 6V53. Let alone an 8V53. It can be done its just how willing and commited are you with this cause itd be a lot of work

    its an SAE heavy duty style bellhousing. the only detroit that came with a GM bellhousing is a 4/53 or smaller inline. you can however get adapters for most newer transmissions to bolt upto these engines. or up to any medium duty to heavy duty engine for that matter. its one style of bolt pattern

      I have a 6V53N in a LN800 single axle, it gets 10 mpg empty / 8-1/2 loaded. Turbocharged version in that little truck I would guess around 18 depending on axle ratio. You could gear it as high as you wanted because of the HP available. But if the truck were overloaded, that would be the end of that 1-ton rear axle.

    Oh he must have upgraded the springs in the front axle to take all the extra weight, as it’s meant for medium duty trucks like the GMC 7000 and Brigadiers. Where did he find an aluminum block version? The 6v53s were always non-turbo though. So what Allison transmission does he have an AT540 or an MT650? It would have been far easier dropping a 6.5L V8 diesel in there, as it goes anywhere a big block Chevy V8 goes.

      dirteeter32 this truck in no way could represent actual chevrolet operation. it obviously doesnt have a stock chevy drivetrain. although detroit was once owned by GM, this truck still has a boat/ bus motor in it. that would show up any stock ford/dodge/chevy truck.

      TheLincolnGuy But the 5.9 and 6.7 cummins 6.9idi 7.3 idi 7.3 powerstroke the 6.0 and 6.4 powerstrokes were all put in buses and UPS trucks. International took thier bus engines retuned them for emissions and sold them to ford for thier pickup trucks from 1984-2010. Cummins just sells engines tuned for bus applicastions the 5.9 and 6.7 are used for all sorts of stuff. Now the 6.2L GM diesel was a fuel sipping but power lacking motor and the duramaxes I don't know anything about...
