- A couple times I did say splitter when I meant range selector, sorry about that mistake. The truck is a 1979 White Western Star and it has a 8v71 Detroit diesel with an Eaton RTO 9513 (13 speed) transmission. #diesel #2stroke #detroit #eaton #transmission #shifting

The old 318 green leaker truly a legend back in the day
Nice to hear it running once again. Those old 2 strokes can't be beat for their famous scream!
As of my 18 years of driving, if I was to test now by clutching, I’d fail, lol all I ever knew was floating gears, hell many times in a pickup truck that’s a standard, I float those too lol
The 6.71 and 8.71 Detroit diesels are music to my ears. In your opening shots I see the nose of a '54 Chevy truck. Nice!
Sounds amazing. Love those Detroit Diesels.
Supercharger is called a Roots Blower by MR GM
Somewhere on yuktub there is a video of 2 Diesel trucks driving by the camera. A 4 Cycle V8 and a Detroit 8V92. The 4 stroke sounds like a helicopter but the Detroit just Hums. I tested the DDEC system at GM on engine dynos. The 8V92T was just awesome. The warmup for the opacity smoke test was Wide Open Throttle at Rated Speed for 20 minutes. Then the actual test was a run up from idle at WOT to rated speed then zero throttle w/ an rpm drop then back to WOT under full load until rated speed. In other words it sounded just like someone was running it thru the gears. I'm 72 and I can still "Feel" that sound. ben/ michigan
Love the sound of a Detroit
Sounds like the snow grader when i was young. Rrrrrrrrrrrr! 😊
8v92.
That's my sweet spot.
Nothing sounds like a 2 stroke detroit diesel!❤ subscribed! Right on!
Wow. That must be about 79 or 80 model, my uncle had two very much like that one same shades of green pattern was Slightly different, cummins 13 high rang , pulled red frame fruehaulf dumps ,
You have a gold lol nugget there👍👍
Thank you, and yeah it’s 79.
Detroit Diesel 2 strokes,more noise per gallon of fuel!💪👍👍
Sounds like tank howitzer M-109 ;-)
Yep we all new it wasn't going to start first time...ten minutes after putting the eather in.....
Lmao, yeaaaahhh.
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
Love the western star Detroit! Need to see that copper tin grille too
318 300 oil leaks 18 hpr i loved them low boy had it in there when I was first around a lot of trks and heavy equipment was Detroit's i liked them
I wish my grille crown was in as great condition as yours is👍
super slow idle sounds really cool
Hauled loader down long 8-10 percent grade in Fairbanks with dump truck with 8v 92 silver. Cab was full of oil smoke by bottom of hill.
Ain’t nothing like sound of these old MOTOWN DRIPPERS GREEN LEAKERS
Sounds like that clutch brake is working, you just need that air shifter knob and you will be set. That is a sweet old dump truck.
After that first shot of ether I was sitting here screaming in my head "hurry up and start it! That ether isn't gonna last forever! Don't worry about the hood! Push that start button!" 😂 good sounding truck. Is that Terex green I see on the engine? Did it come out of a scraper or dozer or something?
Haha yeah I could’ve hustled a little more for sure! And I don’t if the engine is original or not.
Ha ! Same here .
All Detroit Diesel engines were painted Alpine green at the factory. I don’t know if that’s because the military were their first customers back during WWII and the army loves painting everything green or what.
Ya had to
❤@@sha1omactually, they were painted red for International Harvester and some were painted white for kenworth ( for awhile as was Cummins etc) and white for marine...and that lime green for terex and possibly Euclid ....it depended on which company Detroit was supplying....an d there were exceptions..depending on availability at the time I guess
New SUBSCRIBER here driv,ah frickin awesome western star love it. I have a 13 speed shift knob you can have only problem I'm in Michigan but your welcome to it if we can ship it
I appreciate the offer! I might just treat the old girl to a new one, maybe a new range selector too.
No load, match the RPM. More fun to downshift with no clutch though :) Fun beast.
Ya it's super charged ear full but u can kill all the bugs down wind np 👍🏻🤘
I believe the clutch linkage pieces you need to replace what they welded can also come from a White 4000, 9000, Road Boss 1, or Construcktor with the old corporate cab OR an Autocar A, DC or DK series if you’re having trouble finding another W-Star for parts.
Thank you that’s good info!
Yes they have a supercharger (blower) but it doesn’t make any boost at all it’s purely to make the motor run
It sounds exactly like one of those public buses from 40 years ago from 8:00 to 8:09

Waiting to long it’s cooling off heat of compression is how it ignites that little bit of go juice is not gonna work load it up you’ll never hurt it I’m sure you heard all of people saying OMG be careful with the staring fluid
That’s a good looking truck
That boy has the best toy
You go son
I knew this had to be BC. I was supposed to haul out of Wynndel but it never worked out.
Sounds amazing!
you in and around Nelson Salmo? southern interior at least
The 18 spd boxes you can split the low and high range
yeah you need them for wheezy 4 strokes!
My pet HATE is all you ill informed people talking about Detroit Diesels They are NOT SUPERCHARGED (that would mean that the cylinder is pressurized with more than atmospheric pressure by the blower before piston starts to compress which is not the case) Turbocharged Detroit engine is a different matter Yes they have a blower which is solely for scavenging the cylinder as they are 2 stroke engines and do not use crankcase compression
Great bit of information
People forget that the BLOWER to scavenge the cylinders has been used as a supercharger.Anyhoo, carry on😊
Drew - you are exactly correct. GM called them "blowers" because that's all they did, blow air into the airbox for scavenging. GM also called them "naturals" because the pressures did not make for "super" charging, only charging. I had a couple of 6-71N's in my boat, 310 hp naturals with high compression and advanced cam timing. Magnificent engines.
With the detroit diesels if it doesn't have a turbocharger it will have an engine driven vane type blower for forced air induction. I have heard that this is called a hard charger.
They will always have a vane blower regardless if they are turbo or not.
👍👍
13 or 18 speed, same shift knob and air controls
Whack a grey button on it for confusion sake 😂
Yup. Go ahead & mess with the clutch linkage. You will burn up whats left of the clutch & it wont shift worth a damn.
Its a spicer/lipe clutch. Adjustment is done by a ring on the pressure plate
Free play is done by a ring on the pressure plate, brake squeeze is done by adjusting the linkage. Those are 2 different adjustments.
Better read up on adjusting the clutch
NATURALLY ASPIRATED
What truck is this? All icould find was that it's a white western star.
That’s what it is, 79 white western star.
where was this filmed?
Southern BC, Canada
They were supercharged, two stroke diesels won't start without forced induction.
Can y'all stop saying it supercharged it's not
It is though
Technically it’s not defined as a supercharger, because the air comes out at the same pressure it went in. It’s just being moved, not compressed. If you put that Roots blower on a gas engine, then it would be a supercharger.
@AustinEh due to the way the engine is designed, it needs that blower to create positive pressure in the cylinder to scavenge the exhaust out. On a 4 cycle engine, it would be a supercharger, because 4 cycle engine can naturally aspirate without aid. Being that this is 2 cycle, it's just a blower and considered naturally aspirated
@@sha1om Exactly right.
Good on you mate, saved me havin to get on there and tell him 🤔still not sure why people don't know that!!!!
That “high torque “ starter doesn’t sound any better than the original Delco that’s supposed to be in there.
I’m only running 2 battery now instead of 4 and the series parallel switch is gone.
Thats a silver92 Detroit.. 8V92.. correction.. its A silver 8V92 N .. good engine the Non turbo series are turds but the Twin Turbo with marine injectors are beasts I worked on Detroits for 30 years… keep oil in them and they will run forever!
How do you tell the difference? The tag on the valve cover says 8v71
@@AustinEh gotcha I stand corrected! Detroit did make silver 71 series but i only seen them in military and marine applications/ possibly this truck was a surplus re power? that's possible ive seen that alot I love those old screamin jimmies!
@@mpedward2 oh that’s very interesting! At its age I guess anything’s possible, I’ll double check the door tag, it’ll probably tell me what the truck was originally equipped with.
@@AustinEhThe 8v-92 had a vibration dampener on the front end of the crankshaft behind front crank pulley. The 71 series engines, engine serial number would have been 8vA a 92 series would have been 8vF.
Splitting hairs its still a super charger
Uh, no it's not, it doesn't provide any supercharging of intake air, it is barely above atmosphere,👍
lost the prime. Probably a leak on the fuel
Just cold, on warmer days it fires up without any starting fluid.
Detroit are not supercharge but it can't pull without a turbo
I think that is because people use too small of engine for job! Idiots go off hp rating instead of ft-lbs!
Detroits are not supercharged
Yes they are..usually referred to as a blower
Definitely not a supercharger, read your Detroit workshop manuals👍
""TALKABOUT SOMETHING ELSE, ""THIS IS OLDTIME-SHIT""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Detroit Diesels
you only need a 13 speed because detroits ain't pieces of shit like dumb 4-strokes!
Spray that shit in the air cleaner if it runs away oh well it’s a pile of scrap iron anyway
Tow stroke Detroit were peace of crap in a truck.
You just made the most uneducated comment i have read all day....
How would you know? You obviously don't have one or have never driven one. Absolutely worked fine and as you see still is today.
@@ks_1111definitely right guy has no clue wtf he's talking about we call them dummies around these here parts
why do you think they're still around all these years later. All the new electronic crap won't last for shit.
