I think the t was more like 85 horsepower. Not 185

It would be nice to section a cracked cylinder head with a bandsaw to see if it's possible to machine dogbones in. Might be a good mod. The reason I mention it, Wayne on Ol2Stroker last week was showing the world's only common rail 8V92 and they stressed it in racing and it failed. Its heavily modified. Anyhow, after solving one problem they cracked a cylinder head (or both) and I said in the comments, "You overcome one power limiting factor - the Detroit injection system only to find the cylinder heads are now the weak spot. Hot rodding that." "He replied, we have a plan." We'll have to wait I suppose since the vid was only a few days ago (but there might be a lead time in his vids so who knows?). After you showed the dogbone in the head surface, I can't help but wonder if it's possible now and that might be how they solve cracking at very high power outputs. (I'm saving this comment in Word to repost just in case lol)

Very good Thanks

HP-what percent of aftermarket parts you are using are chinesium?

Compared to the 1970's or 1980's.........turbo's have progressed a a lot to where they are now. Generally speaking, the compressor sections pump more boost at lower temperatures......it can be as much as 50% more air density.

yeah the blower drives were a problem on engines such as the 6v53 turbo

Thank you for this video. I've been around a lot of N's and remember maybe one T but never looked at the inside of a silver. I'm smarter after watching! Lol . This kind of educational video is great. Thank you again.

Is it possible to correspond with you directly somehow? ...I have a similar old project truck ( 52 gmc 630) and would like some input on a few of the project goals and how i plan to achieve them. I value your input as you have a similar situation to mine here in Alaska as far as parts and weather and general expectations. As far as range and being remote and possibly a little farther from roadside assistance

Whats your trans and gearing? Asking for a friend 😅

Thanks for the great video. Nice to see the difference on the 453's. The GMC's in the late 70's with the 453T's were horrible. Noisy, stunk of diesel, leaked oil, bad power band. But the 453T's were replaced by the Detroit 8.2L Fuel Pincher. What a disaster.

Had blower drive gears fail alot on 353 slack in teeth noise broke teeth on backhoes old 190 Dynahoe

The main oil gallery on a N series is 5/8 inch diameter and on the T series the main oil gallery is 3/4 inch diameter for more oil to cool the pistons and as you said the larger oil cooler is there to keep temperatures under control and a very good talk about 53 series history and development thank you Detroit Garage well done. The dyno should be fun.

U don't happen to have the rotor part number. I have a blower off a N 4-53 that looks like yours. One rotor froze and cracked. Rest of it looks fine

I always wondered about putting a radius on the liner ports to let the air in better?

Great vid

Hola Señor ,veo sus vídeos. Tengo un problema con un 3.53 muy antiguo .me sube aceite a un cilindro saliendo por el escape .es mucha cantidad ,se le colocaron aros nuevos ,las camisas son muy usadas . Estoy en argentina. Revice nuevamente aros y pistón sin encontrar nada . Usted me podría dar su opinión ya que preciso hacerlo funcionar los otros dos cilindros andan bien ,sin nada raro ..solo el tercero me hace ese problema .bueno Se espero pueda leer el texto y darme su opinión,por acá no hay muchos motores de esos .pero bueno ,es muy sencillo,pero tengo ese problema y no le encuentro lógica del por qué. Desde ya muchísimas gracias .mi nombre es Marcelo y soy de Bs As ..gran abrazo ,y exelente los videos suyos .

Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes me feel as though I can use most of what I have ( '76 453N) without courting disaster to bad.

Good job and thank you. I run a 4-53N in my old USN utility boat which now serves as an USCG Auxiliary Patrol Facility. Always wondered if slapping a turbo on would be helpful. Now I know better. Cudos for putting a DD4-53 into a F350!

Nice info on these motors. I think the turbine measurements are in mm and not inches.

👍

Olá, faça um teste com tinner PU mesmo sem desmontar, pra descolar o elemento do bico! Prende na morsa e introduza o tinner pelo niple de entrada e vá acionando a cremalheira, devagar. Repita, se necessário e, posteriormente, vá acionando a mola do êmbolo junto com o movimento da cremalheira e estará livre pra desmontar e limpar efetivamente. Isso é bem rápido e ñ corre o risco de perder o elemento/êmbolo da bomba, ok?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent, great information thank you.

I'd love a 4-53 Silver Series in little S10 single-cab.

It would be fun to convert 4-53 to common rail like Wayno's friend did to crusty fat cab

*Detroit School*

Is the bypass valve the same on all Detroit engines i.e 53 to 92? How do you know if it's working or not? I would love to see you take one apart and rebuild it if that's a thing.

Have you had the transmission pan off to check the internal filter and bottom of the pan for wear materials since you’ve had this transmission in the truck? I love cutting g filters and seeing how they did.

Good video

Good stuff, keep it up brother!

Was that a bear that attempted to hijack your front bumper? Thanks for the ride along, the scenery, border crossing and education. Keep 'em coming.

Fluid looks like a healthy red color. Filtration and quality oil are the keys to component long life.......OEM setups are really just the minimum, they always have room for improvement. The 2 micron bypass filter is how all automatics should be from factory. On my own Amarok, I dont have a bypass, so every change it gets a full fluid dump (10 liters).

How do you do that in n a transmission? Is there not a pan filter? I have the same kit on my 3.5L ecoboost on the engine side and love it.

What were the other filters there? when you were under the truck. I am curious.

Do you have a video on installing the bypass system on your transmission? Just curious where you’re pulling the fluid from and where you send it back. 👍 Bypass filtration certainly works. With the advent of Tier IV emissions regulations most class 8 engines have to run bypass systems to remove more of the destructive EGR carbon being dumped back into the engines.

Routine maintenance is a must!!! Thanks!

👍

Looking good!! We’re recovering from that hurricane Helene that just hammered us. There’s people who won’t have utilities for weeks. Thanks!

Cool to see this.

Logo quero ouvir o ronco, som do motor T. 😎💪

Still haven’t got new wheels for bent metal yet.

Short port liners?

You have used the brand cylinder kits pc industries has? You have had good luck with them quality seems ok?

Before the Cummins B series engines the Detroit 53's were the king of the 80-120 hp diesel engine class. We rebuilt a lot of them. I wish Detroit would have made DDEC versions of the 53 engine. I still prefer the 53 to any other engine in it's hp range.

When putting main caps on put the bolts in a couple of turns and tap the caps into place with the backside of a hammer (commonly called the handle lol), to tap them home before rattling the bolts in. It helps to protect the interference fit of the mains in the block from galling and helps prevent those shavings from getting on the mating faces if the caps are slightly kinked. This comment will probably get deleted by TH-cam bots too.

How much smaller is a 6v53? Would it be an easier fit?

Very cool

This was one of the best handling bikes I rode.

A "Rattle Can" rebuild!!! LOL!!! You've learned a lot from the "Pakistani Truckers" how to reuse until it can't be used anymore!!! Thanks!
