Thank you for this my dad had a 85 with this engine and a 10 speed road ranger. We called her big blue and boy did she run
That sounds great! I love the sound of these engines!
Lol same it s relaxing sound
Awesome dude Im glad that this can be admired and appreciated
Killer exhaust tone. Spine chilling
The best! And also with the Allison Transmission too!
Absolutely insanely awesome video man can you please do more of these kind if you can make them a lot longer if you still have the truck of course I would really love to hear more of this thing cause it sounds so awesome stay safe man I hope all is well with you. Let me know if you can do more of these kinds of videos because I would love to see unedited driving videos of this thing and also if you can find her out a little bit more because she sounds really good at the higher RPM. Once again stay safe man and I’d really appreciate it.
@@codykennedy19 that 8.2L died about 6 years ago, and after two trips to a machine shop and many thousands of dollars, it still had a crankcase full of coolant, that truck now has a GM Gas engine in it, I have two of them, but they’re only used as site trucks now with the cost of insurance often being close to what they make a year. And they’re close to both being retired to barn ornaments and being replaced by a trailer with the amount of sitting between jobs often the expense of reviving them being as expensive as they make just keeping them going.
@@SuperDriver379 Oh I understand
I put a lot of miles on 2 of these in some c70 refrigerated box trucks. Had 6 trucks running these engines and got great service out of all but one. It Threw a rod at 180k for no apparent reason. They’re not million mile engines but all ours did pretty good up to around 300,000.
This one is currently getting an out of frame rebuild, sleeved only reusing the crank, and heads, but the block and heads where decked and the crank was balanced.
The last camera angle was the best.
I would love to shoehorn one of them 8.2's in a an older K2500 4X4 pick up and straight pipe it
Justin Myslive stud the block mine is currently pouring water out between the block and the heads...
+SuperDriver379 thanks for the tip. nice sounding rig by the way. Is it turbocharged?
You lose a head gasket?
I got an 82 6.2 i have 3" pipes out the back :)
Yes, Swartzer puts out about 9psi @3000 Rpm
I don't get it why can't you aim the camera at you while your driving can you please another video where we can see u driving and shifting and clutching?
i was driver truck .. since then I like diesel engines .. PURE POWER !!!! .. Great video ..
i have a friend and he has one in his garage and he wants to give to me , and I wonder how much the parts will cost me .. and were i can find the parts .. cheers
Good old Detroit Diesel fuel pincher
love to hear what that thing would sound like under a load
like a Big ole V8 with a hair dryer on top.
+SuperDriver379 HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got a 1984 GMC 7000 with the 8.2L turbo engine. Idle speed seems high, any tips or videos on how to adjust the idle speed?
The governor work’s basically the same way as the two stroke detroits, but if you’ve got a manual, highish idle isn’t a terrible thing, it’ll hold better oil pressure when it’s hot. 800 isn’t a bad place for these to idle at
@@SuperDriver379 thanks for the 411. Idle seems to be over 1K so I'll need to kick it down just a bit.
Sweet truck, I like em with a Detroit.
4-53 or 4-53T
@@ClassicTVMan1981X i like those but that engine was only offered in 1980 with around 2,000 made., i prefer the 8.2
What mpg that get? My 366 gas gets 4. I found a truck that’s junk with a Detroit and 50k miles on it purrs. Thinking about buying it to swap into my c60
8-10 mpg but they’re not very serviceable engines, a 5.9L Cummins would serve you better.
Badass video and badass truck! But for the record the Detroit 8.2 was one of the worst engines for reliability and that is because the coolant water jackets run too close to the cylinder. So known for headgaskets blowing that if you read down in the comments- the owner of this one writes that it blew a head gasket!
Son muy buenos motores pero para mí no hay otro motor en el mundo Cómo el 3208 lo mejor que hizo Estados Unidos en motores
Quantos HP ele tem? ?
It sounds great though.
It sounded great.
After the second set of head gaskets, we swapped it for a Small block. It doesn’t see pavement anymore.
Was this really another gas engine converted to diesel? If it was, then I think they used Cadillac's 500 gas V8 (also 8.2 liters) as the blueprint.
No this was a ground up stopgap engine from Detroit while they finished up the series 50/60 that ultimately replaced all the old Detroit designs.
The governor assembly and fuel system on the 8.2L was directly off the two strokes and you can see a lot of the design elements, really if they had more head bolts per cylinder they’d have had a good engine, but it was never meant to be a long term design along with 3208 cats and cummins 509. that’s why they all only lasted a short time before they along with the electronic controlled inline six’s.
And honestly if you took a 500 Cadillac and converted it to modern EFI it would likely run circles around any of the 80’s diesel V8’s at the expense of fuel economy which is what those engines where all about. They knew at the time the path would lead where it did, that was just a step to get them there.
By the 90’s all the V8’s were replaced by their respective straight 6’s the cummins B the Cat 3116/3126 and the Detroit series 50 but it was probably the least common, Detroit kinda pushed to the larger truck engine more than the medium duty, and international pretty much got it right the first time with the DT-466 and DT-360
@@SuperDriver379 The inadequate number of head bolts also plagued the Oldsmobile 350 diesel V8.
@@SuperDriver379 The two-stroke line was great, but only so much could be put into them before they ran out of steam emissions-wise.
my cousin has one 90 gmc sierra 8.2 liter but its got a goosneck fitting on the back for there goosneck trailers he is a farmer and we work that truck to death all the tiem round the farm rebuilt and everything pretty good truck also got some olf 50s fords and another gmc parts truck we keep around
We started driving the truck on the road, and shorty after that we got an oil pan full of water, took the motor to the machine shop for a fill out of frame rebuild and made it about 50 hours and the oil pan was full of water again, so we converted it to a small block and that broke a cam, so now it makes brown spots in the grass around my shop till I decide it’s fate.
@@SuperDriver379 cummins swap it
what i would do bro
5.9 is your best option
@@SuperDriver379 we cummins swap alot of stuff my family does we got cummins everywhere just a great motor
@@Talee_Gaming9602 The 5.9L is a great engine,but the 8.3L dominates over the 6BT.The 6BT was only 160-235 HP/400-460 TQ but the 6CT was 185-260 HP/461-889 TQ.
The 8.3L was used in the Military for several years in the 5 ton trucks.If you want a Cummins in a C50-C70 or F600-F900,the 8.3L is by far the best engine if you want torque and longevity.And there is also a 8.3L V8,but it is naturally aspirated and kind of rare to find.
Are these good reliable motors? I'm lookin at buying basically this same truck. I've only driven one other one and it wouldn't go over about 45 and smoked like crazy
Ours did fine for many years, and then the head gaskets went, and after a hearty machine shop bill, it never was reliable again. We have 3 of these now all with Chevy gas engines. Costs at the pump, but very reliable.
I drove and operated a railroad, rail test truck for the C&NW RR that was powered by an 8.2 coupled to an Allison automatic. A few months from taking delivery of this vehicle in late 1982, the company received a letter from GM indicating we needed to bring it in for head gasket replacement. My supervisor decided to put if off and in about a year the gasket leaked into the engine and the internal bearings had to be replaced (at GM's expense). Eventually the replacement gaskets leaked and again we had to go through the same engine repairs. For the weight of the truck, the engine was a bit sluggish. Nonetheless, it held up pretty good overlooking the head gasket issue.
C50?
To me it kinda sounds like a 7.3 power stroke
It also sounds like a Caterpillar 3208.
@@frazzledude Or any other mid-range diesel V8, including the IH 9.0L or the Cummins VT-225.
The VT-225 was nearly going to be available for the Kodiak and TopKick (1980 model year). I know Ford touted its availability in the Louisville (L-Line) 8000 series.
Quantos HP? ?
I still have a Chevy C-70. Ten speed roadranger. 8.4 liter Isuzu diesel. Very very strong. It has a 22’ Jannell Box. Needs a roll up door. Poor door rotted here in Florida. Frame is solid. The cam needs some body work. Air Brakes. 189,000 miles on it. I am asking $13,000. 352-529-0555. Thanks for your video. Sorry the motor is down.
That’s outside of what we can spend on these small trucks, for what it cost to run them a 10 wheel paccar built truck isn’t a bad route to go, but we still keep one of these old square body dumptrucks around for small deliveries, have a small block in the second truck it’s slow but reliable.
8.4l Isuzu diesel?
What year model of truck that has a Isuzu diesel engine? 2000's?
@@stevensaxon8888 Quantos HP? ?

Some people say these engines are no good. What do you think? I'm interested in buying an 88 Chevy c6500 turbo diesel
Mines in pieces at the moment, head gasket failure, I have the heads plained and the block redecked im putting studs on the heads this time, hoping it stays together. I've heard the turbo engines had this problem often.
For medium duty they get pretty good fuel mileage, but lack power if you were going to do serious work regularly I'd consider a 3208 or a 8.3L cummins.
SuperDriver379 thank you !!!
if you like to see money burn, buy a 8.2.......trust me.
I'm $4,200 into this motor and it's not in one piece yet.
The cylinders are free standing. Note that there is nothing connecting the cylinder to the block at the top. This is why thy chew the head gaskets. The cylinder actually vibrates against the gasket. The turbo engines will fail quickly due to the added boost pressure. I worked on these a lot back in the 80's when I was at a school district. We used to only get about 30-40k miles out of them before they would blow the head gaskets. With this engine there is a warning sign before they blow. Check your coolant for fuel contamination every day. As soon as you see fuel in the coolant, pull the heads and replace the gaskets. There is no cure for this problem. It is a design flaw. What destroys these engines is that the coolant contamination goes unnoticed until it starts puking coolant and overheating, if it overheats then it warps the heads and can crack the block. The core charge on these engines was $3000 back in the 80's. Light duty, limited mileage or stationary use is about the only thing they are good for, and even then they require diligent maintenance.
how many miles on it?
250,000 roughly.
Can a c50 8.2l tow a 37ft boat
I’ve seen them haul 37,000 gross no problem, but they’re generally geared to do 50mph.
Yes but you’d be better off using it as the anchor for your boat
I take it it's not a 2-stroke V8 Diesel. It sounds like a CAT 3208 to me.
The 8.2L is a 4 stroke, no blower.
Basically a Detroit competitor to the 3208 and the 504 Cummins V8.
@@SuperDriver379 I didn't know that. I love it. I might put one of those in my 2005 F350.
As already said,the 8.2L is a 4 stroke,and it actually is what the 6.2L was based on.The 8.2L came out in 1980 for the C50-C70,for 1978-1982 they also had the options of a 4-53 or 3-71,which are obviously 2 stroke.Back to 1973,they all had gas engines such as the 292,350,366,427,and 454.1980 was the same year that they began to offer Caterpillar in them,which would've been the 3208 and later on the 3116 or 3126/C-7.In 1984/85 was when they had the acceptance of the 12V like the 6BT and 6CT just like other trucks in general.The 8.2L was even used in the Ford F600-F900,which is rarely heard of,most of them had the 6.6L,7.3L,or 7.8L along with the same selection of engines.The C70 in the Navy only had the 8.2L.The 6.2L that ascended from it also was a high demand success in the Military just like the 6.5L,in smaller trucks obviously.
A mí también me gusta el caterpillar 3208 10.4L. , el international 9.0l , international 7.3, dretroit 8.2 también se ve que es buenísimo
