These things have to be burned at the stake before they give up. Whatever boat you got those in, i would say you should be prepared to pull the motors. Because the hull will die before the engines.
Not really they couldn't even make a million miles before rebuild, blame liners would crack before half that while guzzling more fuel than any other diesel that makes the same if not more power that has more longevity. They aren't worth the hassle of working on, fuel rack sticks and it's done.

Wow, so many uniformed armchair opinions, and 99% have never even heard one run in real life.. those engines moved America, they built America, they were the workforce that made life easier. They were in everything, trains, buses, trucks, construction, powerplants, farm, .... they deserve more respect.. I was raised on these engines, and still have a 6v-92ddec, in a running vehicle... The 8v71 with a turbo, could do 500 horsepower, all day long.. wide open, 2450 rpm at 500 ponies, all day long..they do it in boats every day.. emissions limit the power on land... Just for fun, Google these engines horsepower ratings, under military use.. fuel milage? Really? At 40 tons, nothing above 55mph gets any fuel milage... 5 mpg is not fuel milage.. the turbo, is the trick to these engines, the latter ones, disengaged the blower, when the turbo spooled up, freeing up 100 horsepower, and about 20% better fuel milage. But guys, you are all 3 or 4 dollar a gallon for fuel, junkies.. back in our day, it was 17 cents a gallon.. no one, but a sissy, even mentioned fuel milage... No one cared...

I think it was a waste to trash the engine. Why for some sadistic self gratification? People would have bought that engine. So you waste time and money??? That’s not very intelligent.
I would have paid you good money for the motor and trans. There's a growing group of people looking for a good 8V71... Oh well at least bbn you made $10. Off RUclips. Lmao
That engine didn't "run away", it was just held wide open til she blew. It wouldn't have lasted that long, and would have had more RPM'S if that were the case. I'd say it was a pretty good engine to go as long as it did.
I have always wondered what experiencing a runaway would be like. As intense as just watching your video was, I think having a runaway would be extremely intense. Thanks for publishing this video.👍
Hm, as a foreigner I'm unsure of what runaway really means, but I assume it's a point where for some reason you can't stop the engine from going full RPM, right? When I was young I crashed my Oldmobile Bravada, think it had a 4,7 L V6. It was only mildly damaged in the front and was still running fine, so I drove home after the crash. I was kind of horrified when I left the highway where I had floored the gas (the only way to get that old tank moving) and the engine kept going full throttle even though I lifted my foot of the gas pedal. I pushed on the brakes which slowed me down somewhat, but the engine still kept pushing. I hammered the gas pedal a couple times and got whatever was stuck unstuck and the engine returned to normal...but that was quite the additional adrenelin kick, as if I hadn't had enough that night already...
@Dave Micolichek actually in desiel tech, we are not WAY past it. We have more complexity and less reliability with more cost. All for the "climate change" but no one factors in the extra bs emitted to fix these systems when the go belly up. I drive a desiel for a living with over a million miles under my belt, the more complex, the more I'm on the side of the highway, close to once per month on average, 9 out of 10 times its emission controls. The only thing that has "advanced" is emission controls and high pressure fuel delivery causing more trouble than it's worth by a LONG shot. There is no such thing as a free lunch, guys are now pulling frames from junkyards and building trucks from scratch just to stay away from the "advancements".
@Dave Micolichek The pollutant is you. Youre stinking up this thread and polluting the atmosphere with your bullshit. Shut up and stop breathing you idiot.
Tough to watch, I grew up riding with my Dad hauling rock in a truck just like this. 10” straights on that old Detroit. When you fired it up for the first time, it brought back some good memories. Too bad everyone doesn’t have the same appreciation for things. Thanks for the vid, Dad’s been gone 13 yrs, it oddly gave me a little closure watching that truck die.
I wasn't surprised that it took that long. Back in the eighties I used to rebuild those engines. They were a sweet running engine oh, that one and the 6V 71. Those and the 855 Cummins were my favorite engines to work on. Naturally aspirated it isn't quite correct. Those old Detroit's had blowers on them plus a turbo. Almost brings a tear to my eye to watch you blow one up on purpose. In the shop we had a piece of plywood always at hand whenever we started up one of those Detroit's after a rebuild, ready to stick it over the turbo inlet, close off the air supply, just in case that thing started to go. They were such high revving engines that I think you could make a good race truck with one of them old Detroit's
@@PlmbrProtctsTheNtion not sure what you mean in context to my comment. I was just agreeing that I thought I observed a supercharger as well. Relevant to the comment in the video about the engine being naturally aspirated.
It is naturally aspirated, and that's a blower not a supercharger. It's naturally aspirated because it's required for the engine to run. It only is a supercharger on gas engines or engines that don't need them to run. Hence super charging them
Naturally-aspirated means the engine injests intake air at atmospheric pressure. Turbocharged and supercharged engines use the devices to pressurize the intake air, to increase engine power by providing more mass of air, which can then allow the engine to burn more fuel and make more power from the same engine displacement.
@ZeroNadaZilch oh, they're all coming here to take all the jobs repairing all these wonderful 8v 71 and 8 V 92 Detroit so they can be put to use elsewhere in the world LOL

@@austinr09 I know that was a waste or as my dad would say sacrilege. If had that truck and soon as I got the motor running and knowing it runs good I would of drained the fluids out then got a hoist pulled the motor out and loaded it into a trailer and took it home. I then would clean it up and repaint and restore it and find something whether it be a tractor or truck to put then engine into. Oh and while I am at it I would throw on a pair of turbochargers too. Heck if i could find an IH 1066 with no motor and drop this 8V71 into it after its been souped with with header and twin turbos
When I heard he planned to let this beautiful old engine runaway, I closed down the video. I don't understand this stuff. Makes me kinda sad that folks see value in destroying something like this, this way. Weird.
Don't let The Bus Grease Monkey know about this video. He travels around the US rescuing and getting old two stroke Detroits (usually in old buses) up and running again. Check out and subscribe to his channel if you love old Detroits or even just old vintage stuff. This video would kill him, or make him deathly ill at the very least. That engine had nothing wrong with it.
And to think how many classic old trucks, older yachts and sport fishing boats, commercial fishing/crabbing boats, even larger generators coulda used that engine which appeared to be very good internally after sitting 10 years or so, it didn't smoke so the rings were evidently not stuck, it woulda been a great replacement for any of the aforementioned categories for a failed one with a spun bearing or something. But not now. I don't get destruction of perfectly good things but there's plenty of it of all shapes and sizes on RUclips. I'll never understand it.
Heavy hauling Idaho This is a very interesting phenomenom indeed. Kind of reminds me of those young liberal kids screeching on the streets about some normal stuff that they dont like
@Dave Mitchell Who cares, low power and high quality parts= long life. I have a John Deere 410D and back 45 years ago, it made 70hp and somewhere in the high 100's for torque. It's at 9887 hours on the tach (Which is original) and hasn't needed a rebuild yet. It probably makes something in the low 100's for torque and probably about 30hp, but it still runs great. It's power to weight ratio isn't great (it's naturally aspirated), it's good on fuel and it's really really loud, but that doesn't matter because it's tough and dependable, unlike today's modern crap.
@@wyattlarrick3246 how useful is it when you can't find shit for it? Try finding parts. Try setting the rack. If he did that to series 60 I'd be pissed but 8 71 are the worst dd motor ever
What a show!! In 1982 purchased a 67' GMC, Detroit six car hauler. It never had engine problems. West Palm Bch FL to Live Oak Fl. What an experience driving that old girl!
I just don’t get this current trend where people have to destroy things and then show their efforts to the world, with pride. Must be getting old I guess.
Well, wasting food would have been worse, I guess. Seems like a perfectly functional 871 would have been worth something to someone. Even giving it away to someone who was able/willing to pull it from the truck would have been preferable, but that's just me.
Dave Micolichek bro wtf is up with you an that cookie. Every comment I saw from you “here...🍪” you look stupid sayin the same shit every comment. But I’m sure you bouta tell me the same thing
I am in automotive and let me tell you we would die and kill to see any engine survive severe overheating. Anything that's out there anymore you overheat them ONE TIME that's ALL it TAKES to fuck them up....
@@jorgehuerta9593 you are 100% correct. We had an M11 Cummins that blew a radiator hose while batching Ready-Mix truck and nobody caught it until the engine died Happened twice to same truck. slowly added antifreeze no leaks no problems truck still running today. Tough damn motor.
My grandfather used an 8 cylinder Detroit to haul material all over the western United States from the 1920s until the 1960s, all of the trucks he owned were two strokes, he swore by them and loved them till the day he died in 1985 he would roll over in his grave if he knew this happened to this truck.
Are you sure Detroit Diesel engines were a thing in the 1920s? I am going to be honest but I thought they started making them in 1938 but there is part of their history in the 20s I think according to a website I was on.
These aren't rare motors by any means. They were built from the 30s up until the mid 90s. There are millions around. All the way from single cylinders to 36 I think
It was impressive how that nice old engine fired up right away and I really enjoyed what could be heard with it running even with exhaust system all rotted out. But what could be seen and heard after the governor was disabled and the rack was tied into full fuel position was absolutely awful and I experienced and felt sorrow and sadness after the explosion and the 🔥.
Another thing I would like to say is this. In a video that is like a sequel to this and another where they experimented to see how many cans of ether it would take to destroy this one Cummins engine. They tear that same Detroit 8V71 down and show why the engine failed as well as with the Cummins. It's very interesting to watch and it turns the whole thing with making the engine run away and blow up into something very educational. I think it was very good of him to do that and believe you can get some good learning from it.
Could’ve done something better with it instead of Rev the nuts out of it until the cooler is on the blink and then the engine turns into a fire ball.....
That was just fucking STUPID of him to do that ! ! ! ! ! ! in today's world people are getting more STUPID as times goes on ! ! this is way i don't go out and make many friends because i can't stand the fucking STUPID shit people do ! ! ! that was NOT COOL to blow up that engine like that ! ! ! ! if i was the guy that had that truck i would have NEVER sold it to this ASSHOLE knowing he was going to do that to the engine ! ! bad karma needs too finds this ASSHOLE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Nice engine, I would like to have it, lots of people don't like the old DD diesels but they powered a lot of things over the years. I would say the past deserves some respect, they were around long before most of us were born!
KT, Ouch! You're bringing back memories of the old 'cash for clunkers' in blowing up a motor that hadn't run in 12 years and turned over like a champ. Wish you the best, but this stunt isn't going to sit well with the crowd, I suspect.
I was about to write the exact same comment. What a well built engine. Now days they don't have a lot of places to be used but what a hell of an engine. It must have a had a lot of life left taking this long. This is what GM would do in test environment to see what parts would or wouldn't last.
I worked o a few 6V an 8V series Detroit engines in my 50 years as a fleet mechanic, from head replacements to total overhauls, in frame and out. The BIGGEST fear I had was having a run-away engine during the first start-up's. Thank goodness it never happened.
Was running well for an old diesel that had been sitting for years. Had a lot of like left in her. I do not see the beauty in destroying good machinery. Is your truck and your right to do with as you so desire.
I liked what could be heard before the governor was disabled and the rack was tied to full fuel position. After the engine was started after that was done, with what could be heard with it roaring and screaming while damage was occurring was awful and I didn't feel so good for a while.
Please don't get me wrong; I like two stroke diesels. They are amazing engines. But they get scrapped by the dozen every day because there is just no real use for them anymore. In comparison to a modern diesel they are terribly inefficient, super loud and the torque band is not that great. It's really not a big deal to get one for the scrap value (often for less if you haul them away quick) if you live in the USA.
@@albinklein7680 Thanks for the courtesy and actually elaborating. There's PLENTY of uses left for 2 stroke diesels. American railroads for instance LOVE the old GM EMD diesels, and are even rebuilding a LOT of old EMD locomotives so they can continue serving for many more years (decades really) to come
I ran a small Detroit for years in the logging woods out here. Always spitting oil everywhere noisy as can be but just dump the water out of the fuel filters every so often and it just kept running and running. Had it run backwards a couple times but not for long and no damage
+the RC entertainer not sure if you even watched the video, he clearly said that he would be, I quote: *disabling the governor and throwing in full fuel*
Thay old Detroit sure had a nice idle. Can't believe this dumb ass blew this up . Must be a millenial who's never had to work for anything . This is sickening!
Man, I'm impressed. It basically had such high EGT's combined with no cooling, it melted itself from the inside out. If the cooling system had been functional, I think it might have run until it was out of fuel...
That truck still had many more hauls left in it....maybe our overly stringent E.P.A. here would send it to the scrap heap, but I'm sure someone south of the border would have been glad to put this truck together and make a living with it.....it seems to me it still had more life left in it.......that was a tough engine for sure...
I clicked on this thinking this was going to be a truck restoration gone wrong. Now I'm kinda pissed off. Good engine and a survivor truck that for sure is now junk
@@heatherroseisrflyer same with a ford They will forever give you constant shit, but no matter how bad they can be, if the engine starts, it will run like a champ. IF it starts.

@@Invocated_Agitator Why are you so defensive? Ive seen you make this exact toxic comment like 3 times. Get yourself a life. Its clear the engine could have been used for something else. Go fuck yourself.
I get a kick out of videos man, good job. In the 80s i was a wrench on over the road tractors. I had a Foreman that took me under his wing. Ive learned alot from him. One being, mastering adjusting the rack. We had one run away and my foreman stood there calmly as he calmly said, get me a board. Always had a board laying around. Those who ever experienced one gettin away, not to mention inside a shop. The sound is almost horrifying. All in all, i still love to hear a Detroit with the blowers. Those were the days.
STREET RACER It ran for eight minutes withy the governor disabled and spitting in as much fuel as possible. Do you even understand then strains that engine was under?if it was run under normal conditions it would have lived for ages!
STREET RACER It wasn’t just the governor. The producer of this video also opened up fully the fuel rails, the equivalent of just putting it in neutral and putting a brick on the accelerator. Treating any engine, old or new like this with always end up with failure. I’m surprised the engine lasted this long, in fact. The producer also started the engine without problems, further disproving your point about the engine being a “POS”.
I am a diesel engine enthusiast and always wondered what a two stroke diesel engine running away would look and sound like. I just didn't want to see it this way. Destroying it was a bad idea and with how hot the block and the heads got, there would be reason to believe the engine would be damaged beyond repair. There is another video about this engine being torn down and they show why the engine failed and blew up. Although I don't like it that they blew the engine up since they are also tearing it down and doing a failure analysis. It turns everything around and makes something educational and you can get some good learning from it.
As soon as I started watching the part where it was going, due to a dumbass blowing it up. The Deboss Garage 16v71 was hard to watch, but that motor was physically worn out, was going to the crusher anyway, & was to $ to fix. This engine is small enough where it could’ve been used in a truck or something. These 8v71s are hard to find, I’d love to get my hands on one of these things, but it’s hard to do that when dumbasses like him blow them up.
what a waste of a good engine, it started like a charm and ran like a charm, would probably have run for afew more years if some fuckwit didn't destroy it
This is what gets me a farmer is getting good use out of this on the farm and has been paid for many times over. So he neglects the maintenance lets the wheel run off Preventable . Then they half ass tow it back to the shop and in haste and stupidly bust the radiator. So i guess They replaced this with another truck they bought or did without.

Yep. I thought what I was going to watch was an accidental runaway. Technically, it wasn't a runaway engine. Runaways are engines that over speed, over heat, and start creating their own fuel supply when the rings melt and the crankcase oil starts fueling the engine. If you can shut an engine by shutting down the fuel supply... NOT a runaway. Also did you catch the moment where he called the engine naturally aspirated !? It has a gear driven roots style blower on it. So the opposite of naturally aspirated. Whatever "real profession" they claim to be in.... it is certainly not being mechanics.
@Dave Micolichek . Where did I become a mechanic? Is that your question ? The United States Coast Guard, then Civilian ASE Certified in Phoenix. Yes, you are.... kind of... correct. The blower doesn't create much boost for horsepower gains. But, take it off. Let that engine create it's own air intake through vacuum. See what happens. THAT is what a naturally aspirated engine does. PERIOD. As far as a runaway...... I guess it depends on your definition of what that is. If you can shut off an engine by cutting off it's fuel supply.... why is it running a way ? Thx for playing.
OH? I happen to be a professional mechanic and happen to buy old engines/cars, get them running then proceed to let the parts fly. Its actually fun. You're just butt hurt he killed a Detroit.

But guys, you are all 3 or 4 dollar a gallon for fuel, junkies.. back in our day, it was 17 cents a gallon.. no one, but a sissy, even mentioned fuel milage... No one cared...

That's what I thought
That engine didn't "run away", it was just held wide open til she blew. It wouldn't have lasted that long, and would have had more RPM'S if that were the case. I'd say it was a pretty good engine to go as long as it did.
Wide open and with the fan disconnected too.
I was going to say the same thing I'm a 15 year old mechanic and I think this is a shame I would have loved to get my hands on that truck
That 8V71 deserved a better fate. Listen to it. It sounded so healthy.
To bad none of you 8v71 fanboiz bought it before him then.
He rebuilt it after
Yeah, it sounded healthy, but the 8v71 has terrible fuel economy and it only has about 300 hp. I have a ram 1500 with 400 hp
I C4 he didn’t rebuild it
Torque/weight ratio is what it was designed after
I have always wondered what experiencing a runaway would be like. As intense as just watching your video was, I think having a runaway would be extremely intense. Thanks for publishing this video.👍
What's so fucking funny dillweed
Hm, as a foreigner I'm unsure of what runaway really means, but I assume it's a point where for some reason you can't stop the engine from going full RPM, right? When I was young I crashed my Oldmobile Bravada, think it had a 4,7 L V6. It was only mildly damaged in the front and was still running fine, so I drove home after the crash. I was kind of horrified when I left the highway where I had floored the gas (the only way to get that old tank moving) and the engine kept going full throttle even though I lifted my foot of the gas pedal. I pushed on the brakes which slowed me down somewhat, but the engine still kept pushing. I hammered the gas pedal a couple times and got whatever was stuck unstuck and the engine returned to normal...but that was quite the additional adrenelin kick, as if I hadn't had enough that night already...

@Dave Micolichek actually in desiel tech, we are not WAY past it. We have more complexity and less reliability with more cost. All for the "climate change" but no one factors in the extra bs emitted to fix these systems when the go belly up. I drive a desiel for a living with over a million miles under my belt, the more complex, the more I'm on the side of the highway, close to once per month on average, 9 out of 10 times its emission controls. The only thing that has "advanced" is emission controls and high pressure fuel delivery causing more trouble than it's worth by a LONG shot. There is no such thing as a free lunch, guys are now pulling frames from junkyards and building trucks from scratch just to stay away from the "advancements".

Wait, this video killed your dad? Did he time travel or something???
I wasn't surprised that it took that long. Back in the eighties I used to rebuild those engines. They were a sweet running engine oh, that one and the 6V 71. Those and the 855 Cummins were my favorite engines to work on. Naturally aspirated it isn't quite correct. Those old Detroit's had blowers on them plus a turbo. Almost brings a tear to my eye to watch you blow one up on purpose. In the shop we had a piece of plywood always at hand whenever we started up one of those Detroit's after a rebuild, ready to stick it over the turbo inlet, close off the air supply, just in case that thing started to go. They were such high revving engines that I think you could make a good race truck with one of them old Detroit's
Yeah it looked like a twin scroll super charger on top there.
@@DroneDocs where do you think that 671 and 871 blowers originally came from? 😂
@@PlmbrProtctsTheNtion not sure what you mean in context to my comment. I was just agreeing that I thought I observed a supercharger as well. Relevant to the comment in the video about the engine being naturally aspirated.
It is naturally aspirated, and that's a blower not a supercharger. It's naturally aspirated because it's required for the engine to run. It only is a supercharger on gas engines or engines that don't need them to run. Hence super charging them
Naturally-aspirated means the engine injests intake air at atmospheric pressure. Turbocharged and supercharged engines use the devices to pressurize the intake air, to increase engine power by providing more mass of air, which can then allow the engine to burn more fuel and make more power from the same engine displacement.
I never though I would see a man running away from a run away diesel engine!

Check out and subscribe to his channel if you love old Detroits or even just old vintage stuff. This video would kill him, or make him deathly ill at the very least. That engine had nothing wrong with it.
And to think how many classic old trucks, older yachts and sport fishing boats, commercial fishing/crabbing boats, even larger generators coulda used that engine which appeared to be very good internally after sitting 10 years or so, it didn't smoke so the rings were evidently not stuck, it woulda been a great replacement for any of the aforementioned categories for a failed one with a spun bearing or something. But not now. I don't get destruction of perfectly good things but there's plenty of it of all shapes and sizes on RUclips. I'll never understand it.

@Dave Mitchell Who cares, low power and high quality parts= long life. I have a John Deere 410D and back 45 years ago, it made 70hp and somewhere in the high 100's for torque. It's at 9887 hours on the tach (Which is original) and hasn't needed a rebuild yet. It probably makes something in the low 100's for torque and probably about 30hp, but it still runs great.
It's power to weight ratio isn't great (it's naturally aspirated), it's good on fuel and it's really really loud, but that doesn't matter because it's tough and dependable, unlike today's modern crap.

Yes, he would. Definitely he would.

Are you sure Detroit Diesel engines were a thing in the 1920s? I am going to be honest but I thought they started making them in 1938 but there is part of their history in the 20s I think according to a website I was on.

@@moosey1978 I'd say so. I have not seen one in person
It was impressive how that nice old engine fired up right away and I really enjoyed what could be heard with it running even with exhaust system all rotted out. But what could be seen and heard after the governor was disabled and the rack was tied into full fuel position was absolutely awful and I experienced and felt sorrow and sadness after the explosion and the 🔥.
Another thing I would like to say is this. In a video that is like a sequel to this and another where they experimented to see how many cans of ether it would take to destroy this one Cummins engine. They tear that same Detroit 8V71 down and show why the engine failed as well as with the Cummins. It's very interesting to watch and it turns the whole thing with making the engine run away and blow up into something very educational. I think it was very good of him to do that and believe you can get some good learning from it.

In comparison to a modern diesel they are terribly inefficient, super loud and the torque band is not that great. It's really not a big deal to get one for the scrap value (often for less if you haul them away quick) if you live in the USA.

@@jorgehuerta9593 TRUCKS ARE NOT PEOPLE you absolute raving lunatic. Stap it, seek help. God knows you need it.
The only naturally aspirated 2 stroke diesel in the world!!! And you destroyed it.
You do relize they are supercharged right???
A two-stroke diesel cannot run without a blower.
At 9:00 the dummy claims that it's a naturally aspirated 2 stroke, I was just making fun.
@@ptotheog8445 The supercharger displaces the exhaust gases on the exhaust stroke and does not give positive displacement. AKA naturally aspirated.
@@mikec3142 yeah, you're right... never thought of an engine with a supercharger as naturally aspirated... I stand corrected.
I get a kick out of videos man, good job. In the 80s i was a wrench on over the road tractors. I had a Foreman that took me under his wing. Ive learned alot from him. One being, mastering adjusting the rack. We had one run away and my foreman stood there calmly as he calmly said, get me a board. Always had a board laying around. Those who ever experienced one gettin away, not to mention inside a shop. The sound is almost horrifying.
All in all, i still love to hear a Detroit with the blowers.
Those were the days.
Why blow up a good 8V71. I'm sure someone would have bought it for a bus or big old truck.
No one would swap in a Detroit over a Cummins lmao.
@jubjub247 it's all fake, Trump is too. Wake the fuck up.
@jubjub247 Fuck you and your boy trumpty-dumpty.
That motor had plenty of life left in it.
STREET RACER It ran for eight minutes withy the governor disabled and spitting in as much fuel as possible. Do you even understand then strains that engine was under?if it was run under normal conditions it would have lived for ages!
STREET RACER It wasn’t just the governor. The producer of this video also opened up fully the fuel rails, the equivalent of just putting it in neutral and putting a brick on the accelerator. Treating any engine, old or new like this with always end up with failure. I’m surprised the engine lasted this long, in fact. The producer also started the engine without problems, further disproving your point about the engine being a “POS”.
STREET RACER Fair enough, you win. You’re right, I’ve only watched a few videos of these. I’ll see myself out.
@@bigboreracing356 Are you sure about that 😎
@@bigboreracing356 Woah you didn't have to do that, wait since when did people use courtesy online??
I'm not even a diesel enthusiast and even I found this hard to watch. That poor engine...
I am a diesel engine enthusiast and always wondered what a two stroke diesel engine running away would look and sound like. I just didn't want to see it this way. Destroying it was a bad idea and with how hot the block and the heads got, there would be reason to believe the engine would be damaged beyond repair. There is another video about this engine being torn down and they show why the engine failed and blew up. Although I don't like it that they blew the engine up since they are also tearing it down and doing a failure analysis. It turns everything around and makes something educational and you can get some good learning from it.
As soon as I started watching the part where it was going, due to a dumbass blowing it up. The Deboss Garage 16v71 was hard to watch, but that motor was physically worn out, was going to the crusher anyway, & was to $ to fix.
This engine is small enough where it could’ve been used in a truck or something. These 8v71s are hard to find, I’d love to get my hands on one of these things, but it’s hard to do that when dumbasses like him blow them up.
@@michaelbenoit248 cry more, the engine is underpowered junk
Zach Steele THANK YOU! Someone who fucking understands the na two strokes were absolutely garbage gutless piles of shit
@@zachsteele6964 I don't think 300hp is underpowered for anything
thats a damn good engine . that thing had many years left on it !!
what a waste of a good engine, it started like a charm and ran like a charm, would probably have run for afew more years if some fuckwit didn't destroy it
This is what gets me a farmer is getting good use out of this on the farm and has been paid for many times over. So he neglects the maintenance lets the wheel run off
Preventable . Then they half ass tow it back to the shop and in haste and stupidly bust the radiator. So i guess
They replaced this with another truck they bought or did without.
Some people have money just to waste and say things like i only paid
1,000 for her so what . Stupid thinking IMO
To bad none of you old trucks fanboiz bought it before him then. Oh well... LOOK WHAT YOU DID FUKBOIZ!!!
@@Invocated_Agitator
Was it forsale? And whats a fanboiz.?
@@storemannc He is what appears to be a bot that spams this exact reply the moment certain key words are seen. Pay no attention.
"Invocated Agitator" is a fancy term for person who loves pissing off people for fun on videos that feature less than bright subject matter. Seems like he is having a blast.
The only thing wrong with that truck was the owners who couldn't fix two small repairs and the knuckle heads who blew it up twelve years later.
Smh 🤦♂️
Fuck up, dumbass
To bad none of you old trucks fanboiz bought it before him then. Oh well... LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!! YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS YOU KNUCKE HEAD!!!
Aww boo hoo
07:02 the truck started like it had been running 3 minutes earlier....; amazing.
Could have made a mighty fine generator out of that old diesel dog
it not worth it cuz thez old 2 str use a hell lot of fuel m8
@@grisbar1968 it would a been a runaway generator haha 14,00 volts!
@@grisbar1968 they really dont use a ton of fuel.
Someone with an old bus could of put that to use
This is a true testament to the wonderful engineering of these fine machines.
What a waste. That engine sounded healthy in the start up.
His money. His life. These motors aren't rare, they're just terrible on fuel, don't make much power, and are noisy as hell.
It's just scrap metal. Running or not
@@wellzy9819 and- scrap metal is way down lol
Amazing durability from that old engine.
What in God's name did you do that for? Here I thought I was watching a cold start of a good ol American made diesel but instead I witnessed a murder of a machine that was built to last... You monster!!! 😡
You should have bought it then. But you didn't, so stop complaining
Henry Griffiths fr
Henry Griffiths freedom of speech dude, I give a fuck about consumerism, that truck could’ve been some farmers livelihood but no, some millennial had to get his rocks off on destroying it
What kind of monster would do that to a detroit.
I used to get more Angry by the minute when I had to drive one of them damn things thank God for the 60 series
This is depressing to watch
I'm with you. The first engine I worked on was a Detroit, simple but extremely durable. as long as you keep the rings in decent shape they will not die
Yea when I realized it was on purpose
You should keep doing this, the comment section is hilarious
Meanwhile my old bus threw a rod and needs a new engine and I’m pulling my hair out watching you destroy a perfectly good one... thanks for crushing the soul a bit more..
Exactly. I'm diligently working on my bus too.
AMEN
Good. One less piece of shit on the highway.
stevegps i could say the same thing about you but your mom told me to play nice...
@@stevegps Hmm. An arresting officer might make that comment about you. Think about it, son. You ain't among kids here. There's a shitload of grownups in this room, and they ain't smiling.
It could have made a nice generator, or start cart for a jet. As a technician, I abhor what you guys have done.
He could have experimented with turning it in to a biodiesel engine as well.
Yep. I thought what I was going to watch was an accidental runaway. Technically, it wasn't a runaway engine. Runaways are engines that over speed, over heat, and start creating their own fuel supply when the rings melt and the crankcase oil starts fueling the engine. If you can shut an engine by shutting down the fuel supply... NOT a runaway. Also did you catch the moment where he called the engine naturally aspirated !? It has a gear driven roots style blower on it. So the opposite of naturally aspirated. Whatever "real profession" they claim to be in.... it is certainly not being mechanics.
@Dave Micolichek . Where did I become a mechanic? Is that your question ? The United States Coast Guard, then Civilian ASE Certified in Phoenix. Yes, you are.... kind of... correct. The blower doesn't create much boost for horsepower gains. But, take it off. Let that engine create it's own air intake through vacuum. See what happens. THAT is what a naturally aspirated engine does. PERIOD. As far as a runaway...... I guess it depends on your definition of what that is. If you can shut off an engine by cutting off it's fuel supply.... why is it running a way ? Thx for playing.
Heavy Hauler Freightliner thank You for your service
"True Professionals" would never do this to an engine and know the difference between over rev and a runway engine.
OH? I happen to be a professional mechanic and happen to buy old engines/cars, get them running then proceed to let the parts fly. Its actually fun. You're just butt hurt he killed a Detroit. Get your own money and go save them all if thats how you feel. Those old Detroit engines are incredibly dirty running engines. No place on the road for them anymore.
@@zuestoots5176 fake mechanics blow things up
@@RandomsFandom no
the point of being a mechanic is to fix things
@@RandomsFandom no theyre just having fun lol
That’s why I like your channel because you do stuff like that not like the other people that won’t do it you actually do it. That’s what makes your channel different fun to watch because you’re into doing stuff that I like doing. Keep up the good work. I love it..
That motor wanted to live :( there's plenty of old Detroit's that would happily run away but you gotta keep the good ones going!
I agree
And what exactly would you do with that engine?
@@FSXflyermaster she'd run a mill pretty good, lots of people still use these
FSXflyermaster shuv it up your ass
Np P you have to take me to dinner first
The EPA wants to know your location.
That's a damn shame, what did that engine ever do to you smh ... she clearly had plenty of life left in her to run that hard for that long before dieing
It nothing more then a junk yard engine that should be crushed.
To bad none of you old machines fanboiz bought it before him then. Oh well... LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!!
@@Invocated_Agitator lol can't save them all, but I have several! So I'm doing my part. Hell I even have some RUclipss of one of my old dump trucks . New get out there and do your part!
@@johnnyturbo8460 Do what part, i want to see those trucks blow up. Thankfully don't have to invest my money into that. Also, you still didn't saved this truck, so it's your fault.
Proof that back then trucks were made much tougher than today.
I’d love to have a 8v71 for a ratrod build sad to see this one go
To bad none of you 8v71 fanboiz bought it before him then. Oh well... LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!
go buy one from a scrapyard then
It seems then that old truck will have more life on the road to come then 3 brand new chevy duramax combine lol
I'd take any old screamin' jimmy over 100 dura-shits any day.
Stupid to destroy such a great engine.
I agree. That was a good engine.
What a waste of a good engine. The speed of disorder (enthropy) in the universe can't be slowed down but this kind behavior accelerates it...
It sucks for sure perfect engine
Nice
What planet do you guys live on where these engines are “great” by today’s standards? Cause it’s damn sure not in the trucking industry and never has been. I love Detroit’s especially these junk 2 strokes just as much as anyone else but they aren’t all that unless they are in a boat or a show truck
All these Detroit people pissed off but probably don’t even own one😂
Yeah just a machine. I have a 66 Chevy C30 that I custom fitted a Detroit 6v53. Watching them die though, It's pretty fucking cool :D
So you must own something to appreciate something. Got it.
Or worked on a truck and have no idea what it would take to get this thing road worthy. Dim dim dim...
