Massive 1150-Cubic-Inch 600+ HP Cummins KTA-19 Engines Idling - Awesome Sound!

- A short clip from the Truckers-4-Hope truck show in Mill Hall, PA last month that I never got around to uploading. This section of the display featured several old Kenworths (three W900A models and an older needle nose) running the massive 1150 cubic-inch Cummins KTA engines, including one with twin turbos. The KT (450 HP stock) and KTA (aftercooled 525/600 HP stock) became an option for trucks (mostly Peterbilt, Kenworth, and International) in the mid 1970's and were Cummins' response to engines like the CAT 3408 and Detroit Diesel 12V71. They were unique in that they had six individual cylinder heads, among a few other features that set them apart from the smaller NT/NTC (855) engines. These engines are known to "lope" at idle, which sounds badass - you can imagine just how badass four of them together sounded! I don't know all the specs on these particular trucks (and engines), but something tells me they aren't making stock horsepower. Lol. Just look at the frames twist!

A row of vintage Kenworth's with KTA engines..... very impressive!
I LOVE the lopey idle! 💓😍 To be there in person to hear em all at once must have been amazing! The look as beautiful as they sound!
A V12 Detroit (Series 71 - the Only true V12 from DD) with 7 or 8 inch straights and a lope, sounds Wayyy better! ; )
@@Romans--bo7br I understand what you're sayin but I caint say ones better than the other however in my mind the 12v71 lope sounds like a big angry critter whereas the KTA1150 lope makes me think of a high strung long legged critter that just wants to RUN
@@caterpillarslim1288.... thanks for your reply, Ed. I completely understand what you're saying and can understand why you think that. Having said that, it was a very rare occasion back in the 1970s that any KT or KTA could run with either my own V12's that I "built" (modified)... and the KTA 600's reputation for being "reliable" was Not one of its strong points. I will say though, that they have come a long way since those early days of the series and continue to be produced new, for industrial applications, but Not under the KT/KTA series platform, of course.
Back when trucking was fun and good 😢
I remember dad got a 600 kta,,, a couple of guys with v8’s wouldn’t talk for a few weeks after the cummins out pulled them.
Yeah when a cummins passes a cat they take it pretty hard , I've had trucks pull into turn pockets so i didnt pass them .
Mack’s?
Tbf that's a 19 liter inline 6 engine vs an 18 liter v8
@@ruxoneto6560 I will tell you this much right now. I had 2 v8 cats…. Stock. And I would out pull any kta on the road you just need good gears.
@@danokerr9929 not a chance kta vs 3408 stock to stock or twisted the kta will come out on top every time .
These kta19 are monster's they can make 1000hp easily & be very reliable to, my favorite motor other then a Mighty Cat 3406E 550🥰
Love watching those trucks rock side to side at idle like that
Awesome, in the day my dad had KTA-19 in a 74 binder, ran heavy haul with it and man could it pull.:)
Man,I remember when they first came out!These are REAL BEASTS!I'm glad these monsters are still around!Great video!
That shit is sick how their all idling at the same time, I swear it's like I hear music 🎶 💯
Love those KW's and those kt Cummins engines
OMG that is what I call a symphony!
Magnificent, great video of these beasts!
That Powder blue twin turbo Kenny might be the most beautiful tuck I've ever seen. Just incredible!
I Guess you haven't either seen too many, then??..... either that, or it's the old "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing. Probably the latter of the two. ; )
Awesome video Mike! I could listen to that all day lol.It was crazy seeing the trucks just shake back and forth. Lots of torque.
That's for sure! Torque for days.
Rocks you to sleep in the bunk.
Sickest sounding engine ever. Hope to put one of them collectors items in my man cave 💪💪🤠
I would like to drive that to a green deal meeting.
Only if you like going on a visit to the vet to get neutered!
@@trexmidnite you’re no fun. Re-education camps, get it right! Lol
Probably puts out less emissions than the private jets flown into said green meetings.
@@genis8530 yep
@@RS-cb7nm no doubt
Sounds like a symphony playing
Wow love that lope and it’s got sticks 😆👌
I thought of you instantly when I looked in the cab lol!
HOLY SH!T!! The WHOLE truck is ROCKING!! WINNING!! 😎👍🏾🥳👌
I love this video old school power at it's finest !!!!
Greta: "How dare you"
Dam it. Beat me to it. HA HA.
You mean climate Barby?
@@Mark_Tschetter @ you mean Al Gore’s nephew !
Love his trucks! Nice!
We ran two of those in a hydraulic shovel. Had a 11 yard bucket. Pretty cool to see these in trucks!
I hear alot of rail pressure. Love it
Haven't seen them for awhile but there were a couple of Kenworths used to run around my area daily running kta's, both were heavy haulers
Sounds like an orchestra in perfect harmony!
I remember having one in the shop. They barely fit between the frame rails.
Nice video. :)
I have never seen so many stacks in a row.
Just beautiful Trucks and Engine they were and came with the 2 speed Diffs.
Driven a large car like these beautys hammer down balls to the Wall 10-4!
"If your truck is a bit slow - chrome something!" lol
Best advice I've heard in a while
Sweet assed "old school" girls right there, 10-4! Kenworths have always & will always be my favorites!!!
Bought a new W900 in 1982. Last of the A Models. Used it in Alaska, still has a 600 KTA with a 15 over and 1241 brownie..
Beautiful
In the early 1970's these monsters were plentiful, along with 3408 CATS, with chromed out 12-71 Detroit's at the Ontario 500 Hundred Truck Stop in east LA.
@rondye9398 the 76 truck stop wasn't in east Los Angeles. It was in Ontario CA. That's 40 miles east of Los Angeles. I lived in southern CA.
Twin sticks and tooth picks dipped in horse tranquilizer.
Some nice looking A models in that line
wow! thats a beautifull truck! 👌 and 6&4
i love my twin sticks!
Excellent.👏
KTTA19..BEAUTIFUL🤩🤩
Only problem is they weight 35-3600 lbs mostly designed for gensets, marine, military I got one in a Big Bud tractor they are massive. With a bit more modern electronics fuel, timing, air to air etc the torque could be much higher compared to some of the newer engines however lots of good old fashioned snort! Btw anyone ever get to New Orleans take a trip on the river in the Natchez she’s got a couple of those girls on gensets rumbling down in the belly. They’ve been there along time and they have the sweetest thunder you’ve ever heard.
I’ll definitely going take a look and sit out that the river walk to watch it take off
Thanks for the info. I live in New orleans 😎, I ll have to check them out when I get the chance.
Me too I’m currently over the road now..I bet it’s a beautiful day to go bike riding too since the weathers cooler my favorite
@Dale Snow
At 3,500 pounds the KTA you describe is only 800 pounds heavier than my Cummin N14 is listed at.
I will trade 800 pounds for 600 more horsies every which way 'til Sunday.
We had a KT motor in a 74 Transtar , hauling produce from Texas to NYC Hunts Point . It was fun to outpull stick haulers with their shiny 290’s up the East coast !
You must have put the engine in, yourselves... because the only "big power" option for the Transtar (4090 COE) was the V12 Detroit. International Never received the KT / KTA Series from Cummins... the Standard Engines for the Transtar COE, was the NTC (290hp and 350 - 400hp in later 1970's) Cummins and the 8-71 Detroit.
Very cool to hear those KT/KTA Cummins engines loping at idle 😎😎
It sure is a great sound.
The one is a ktta. The k stands for KING of the road!!.
They are thee only engine to have
Nothing else will even come close to it
Holy smokes my N14 would give up and shut itself off before the race even started. What a beast!
AMERCA!!!!
Straight up badass....
Coolest video on RUclips man
Damn I love KTA Cummins
Magnifique 👍👍👍 grandiose 😁😁😁❤❤❤🙋♀️🙋♀️
Legendary in Australia........a mechanical KTA-600 can flog anything when hooked up to 130 tons gross mass. They are faster and use less fuel than any of the electronic 600's that came later like the ISX,C-15 etc.
We used to install these in 50 ton Euclid's in place of the CUMMINS VTA 28 AND THE V16 DETROIT
I had a kta in a clt ford, it could pass anything on the road except a fuel pump...it was also tough on drive tires.
Nothin gonna touch it pullin up Grapevine or anywhere else in the ole days
Would be a hell of a site
Got my first speeding ticket 85 in a 55 with my first KTA that was on New York route 17 just east of Waverly
I think they are in 31 Fiat Allis dozer too, awesome looking trucks
Bad to the bone KW right there!
Thats a big boy
Half million dollar rig gorgeous
One of the only trucks that sounds better than my 96’ 9800i
Man, I can imagine those horses running down the road!
Twin stacks, twin sticks, twin turbos, so many things to double your pleasure
Just love old Paccar trucks
SOND,S LIKE 👍 THE OLD YARD 4 A.M. IN THE GOOD 👍 OLD DAY, S O.G.CALIFORNIA DIRT HAULER OUT 10-4.
That needle nose with a KTA. If my big cam 400 ever needs replacing I might just get one of those to go in mine
Butterfly hoods. 🥰
The Best 👍.
I drove a 73 powerliner cabover with a 600 hp KTA in it. Thing was a beast of a truck compared to the 74’ transtar II with the 318 Detroit.
That’s like comparing apples to jalapeños
Why is it the Every truck with an 8-71 Detroit... is automatically a "318".... according to all the internet "experts" on Detroit Diesels??
That truck jumpin
REAL TRUCK MASSIVE BIG UP TO TWIN 11
Nice 👍...
some beautiful iron right there!
Amen to that!
The k model is one hell of a power plant
mean machine
The sky blue W900A long hood has a KTTA, because it has a twin-turbo, a difference from the KTA which is only one :D
Big Amy was top dog in alaska kt600 ,1000 hp,that was Ann and Sam Shivers truck they named it after their daughter Amy,I remember hauling gravel out of Roger's and Bablers pit and we out pulled Ann with are 600 hp 350 cummins,Spiderman was a hot truck,I miss them days
Pretty wild and random but I own big Amy now and it’s still a runner Ann and Zach shivers are the original owners and it has a kta 635 Cummins out of a light plant
Must of been a Formula 350.
DAMMMMN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That right there is music!!!!
That would look so Much Better with a Chromed ROO Bar , Greetings from OZ
Wow!!! 😳👌
Nice trucks
Are they Peterbilt?
@@joshmills208 Kenworth
Sheeeeeesh!!!!
This is a Kta 750 twin turbo industrial engine, estimated 1200 hp to the street
Your right, but I think that one has a tune on it & it's probably making over 1500hp to the ground
@@anthonionesbitt202 😂🤣it’s a mechanical motor , what tune you talking about? Like on the radio?
@@simeonwiesenthal1211 - Might be similar to a 12v. ‘Tuning’ being that if the removal of the fuel plate.
@@simeonwiesenthal1211 are you stupid or playing stupid🤔
@@simeonwiesenthal1211 yes I know it's a mechanical motor, when I say tune I mean higher flowing injectors, recalabrated fuel pump, timing changer, higher lift valve & springs, ported heads, bigger turbo or compound turbos setup...
I fished commercial on. 130 ton ship and we had a kta 18 I think 800 hp Cummings
o'h i love to hear any big Turbo diesel running but i would love to hear a row of 17 Liter's tuned 600- 800+ Caterpillars running playing that beautiful sound us CAT lover's, love to hear run on cold crisp 35-33 degree morning, but yup the old one's all have that sound !!! just say'n !!!! Thanks Guy's !!!!!
Check out the video I posted before this one, it's got a little bit of everything...I tried to get close-ups on some of the Cat-powered trucks. Love the sound of a 3406.
Kt is cummins 19ltr, 3406e is cat 14.6 ltr.
@@grumpystruckshop3807 sorry my bad i was a bit hot when i wrote that, i should have been in bed i was thinking about to many things and try'n to write with the captain if you know what i mean !!!!anyways thank u, i don't even remember write'n that but i fixed it!!!! just say'n !!!!
Thought you might like one of my trucks, i have others too in the uk, i can send more links if you want!!! ruclips.net/video/bXhHdf2ejPo/видео.html

I love the coal at idle 😍🤤💨💨💨
The best engine ever made to bad they still aren't available 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸to bad trucking industry and this country have been ruined by corrupt criminal politicians 🖕👎💥🖕👎 to all of them
Nice! Must be the detuned version though because they go up to 700hp stock and I’d imagine that it would be for marine applications. The way it lopes says marine
I can promise you these trucks are all making way more than 600 HP lol....I don't know the exact ratings on these particular units so that's why I put 600+ in the title. Someone in the comments below said the first one is making 1200 HP, I wouldn't doubt it.
they sound like a bunch of purring tigers.
Thats caterpillar
God bless America.
why i still run cummins.... not even the 3408 or mack V8 had the cubes of a lil inline 6 😁
I'll give Cummins that. They're the only company to build an engine that could make a Bulldog whimper.
@@yaboileeroy3038 every bulldog I see is whimpering lol
@@evananderson3350 Don’t F around with the MACK E-9 V8 now Hahaha
@@josefastboats5874 yeah there is a guy that runs a tri axle dump truck superliner with the v8 in it and he always has that thing going pretty good
@@evananderson3350 Those MACK V8’s are beasts!!! My Father used to Drive one that was a Heavy Haul Lowboy truck 💪 He would Pull Big CAT Model 330 Machines with it and Big D6 and D7 CAT 🦁 Bulldozers with it, BIG POWERHOUSE 💪💪💪. He also drove a special Canadian Built MACK Superliner also a heavy haul lowboy truck, the Truck was a Sleeper Truck with a CAT 3406B Model Engine with a 15 Speed Double Over Drive.... MACK Camel-Back Suspension and air ride on the front axle..... Special Ride All in all. He told me he pulled a Lowboy trailer with extra axles on the back and hauled some BIG and HEAVY machines... I would love to get and Old Superliner some day now... Love how they look 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cummins K-series 👁👁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Next best I believe is the 444 Cummins...had one that made 3406b owners cry when I went past them with MORE weight on plus got 6 to 6.5 mpg!!
KTTA
🤤 👍👍
Enough Torque to pull Hell off it's hinges.
How much torque are we talking about?
Cummins is the best diesel. Followed by Detriots (Screamin Jimmy's) Change my mind! lol Love how it just rocks the tractor.
I was raised around CAT powered trucks, so I'm a little biased. Cummins is right up there with them. Detroit....is a different story. 🙄
@@MichaelTJD60 haha
Yea the k model is the untouched king of the road. But it never belonged there, like a bull in a China shop. As for the rest of Cummins (except for the big cam and 5.9) they are just sort of ok.
*coughs* scania v8 *coughs*
@@belgian_i30n Unfair comparison, we don't have them here in the US. I hear they are powerhouses though.
All of them idling together almost sounds like my 600 Cat idling
Wait that engine sounds like that stockkk???
