When i broke into truck driving back in 1992 myself and 4 other company drivers stopped at one of our favorite truck stops in Mahwah New Jersey on U.S. 17 there was a Ford CL9000 cabover with 8 in straight pipes pulling out he went south and crossed over the bridge to go back north towards New York...that was a fine tuned Detroit it was a 8v-92 You could hear him grab every gear all they way up to 18th gear and still hear that Detroit singing for awhile damn that was a sweet sounding truck never will forget that sound
Detroit Diesel = a mechanical device which converts diesel fuel into noise. They weren't known as 'Screamin' Jimmies' by accident. But they do sound absolutely fantastic, especially at full bore. I don't think I'd like to drive one for 8 hours a day, though. Great video, really enjoyed it.
Well now, who knew? I've worked on many a Gardner 4 stroke diesel, but never needed to understand a 2 stroke diesel. I do now. Thanks for the vid ,I've learned something new today.👍
Nice one mucker. Many years ago I used to drive ts24 motor scrapers. They had 2 Detroit V8s. The winter job was to wheel one in and strip it and both engines down and put it back together ready for another summer of abuse. I also got the job of converting the D8s and D9s from donkey to battery start. Happy days 👍😀. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks for the excellent explanation. I have been operating machinery for nearly 40 years here and in Ozz and I have always wanted to know how a 2 stroke deisle works.
Cool; I bought a 52ft boat with a 6-71 engine. Motor is in great running order. These engines are so reliable. Now (thanks to this video), it is clear why they are so good and how they operate. No wonder they were in landing craft, trucks and Sherman tanks. Some were fitted with a turbo charger for increased fuel economy. Cheers; Woody.
Very interesting. When I were a lad, there was a potato merchant in our village that used to run Commer lorries, which I believe were a 2 stroke diesel. Always sounded very distinctive and looked great. Never new how a diesel 2 stroke worked until now though, every day is a school day as they say. Thank you.
Commer two strokes, the best noise i've ever heard, my uncle who came from the isle of wight ran three of them in his haulage fleet in the 70's , used to go with him as a nipper, you'll never forget that sound .
I used to operate the Terex 72-51 in Northern Ireland when taking out burning cars /buses and illegal barricade’s in West Belfast in the 90’s. I was part of the plant Section for 2 years prior to the ceasefire so we were quite busy most weeks 😉 The neighbourhood used to love the sound of a screaming Detroit Diesel at 3 am on a Sunday Morning so they did bless them 😬👍🏼 The 50 cal proof windows and doors were an issue mind on a cold morning as the heaters in those things were about as useful as a zippo lighter.
I've been a diesel fitter for 26 years but i've never had anything to do with 2 stroke diesels, never even mentioned them in collage so thanks for for the run through on the what's and why's of them most efficient way to turn diesel in to noise :-)
Remember back in the late 70's early 80's a plant company in South Essex had a Scammell 6x4 tractor unit with a 2 stroke in it. Alway new when it was coming along way before you saw it. Was a lovely sound, especially if thete was a dozer or something on the trailer. Great informative video keep it up, loved the Month python clip.....
I went to college in the castleford in Yorkshire in the year 2000 on a plant mechanics course for 3 years. we had 2 v6 engines that came out of motor scrapers. The old fitter I worked with gave me the manual for the engine as he worked on them in the open cast and worked for terex. I learned a lot from him, we would pull the transmission out of a cat d6d and he would just be sitting on the machine seat smoking and tell me what to do and pass me the spanners. Was good crack was the best job in the world at 16 two weeks out of school all your mates where going back to school I was playing with cat tractors and welding buckets. Love your videos thanks.
A bit before my time nut in the uk the commer carrier had a 2 stroke diesel in it Aberthaw cement had a load of them in south wales , my dad used to tell me how fast the commers were
Best explanation of a Detroit diesel that fully explains how it works..i had an idea of how they worked ...now i fully under stand..especially the blower bit..good job..👍
Ha I could say the same about my 440 CCW John Deere JDX8 sled I had! It always dripped a little oil on the clutch side. I now got an 8v92 and a johnson OMC 4L small block v8 outboard. Both my 8v92 and Johnson are on she’ll rotella 2T sae 40w CF-2 oil. I do cut in a BRP XD-100 in both engines now and then.
Not so much here in the states anymore either. Although the engines can be found at junkyards and some diesel shops have em' stored away fir the future.
DeBoss garage had a 16 cylinder detroit that they deliberately made run away a while back. Interesting thing with them is how moduler they were with 3 and four cylinder blocks put together in various combinations up to a V16.
New Subscriber here from N/Essex. This channel is awesome Kurt. Well done Mate.👍👋👋. I have heard of a 2 stroke diesel but never ever saw one running until now & you gave a brilliant demonstration. I expected clouds of smoke which what you expect if anyone was talking about a 2 stroke petrol engines but this is clearly not the case it seems. Also really enjoying Kim's Channel too & Mr Fud-weasel BTW.
Liked your explanation on the Detroit engine. I've built a few V12 - 71 Detroit in the past, found them to be a bit greedy on fuel. If you know how to used the parts book then they are enjoyable to repair.
My first real job was summer of my senior year in high school working with a grading company pulling a sheep’s foot to compact the soil at the dump zone. I was bored out of my skull. One day one of the pan (earth mover) operators laid out of work so I asked the boss man could I run the pan for a bit. He told me to do it as a learning experience rather than a fuck up experience so I jumped at the chance. The pan was a Terex (Euclid) “double barrel” (2 Detroit engines) and for 12 hours that day I had a constant stiffy on. After I mastered the pan drop exercise I was spreading dirt like cake icing. Then in the fall it was off to college to learn bullshit so as my daddy said “you’ll not have to work construction for a living. Fact is, it was the best job I ever had and I always longed to be sitting in the seat of that pan maxing two throttle pedals to rev up not one but two screaming Detroit’s. I can’t hear one to this day without popping a stiffy. Your tutorial is brilliant sir Lord glad I subscribed. By the way, tune in to Bus Grease Monkey on you tube.........the man rebuilds Detroit’s in his sleep.
Looking at the 4cyl Perkins, the bolt patterns look a bit like Caterpillar. The 6-71 is a legend and this one looks like it's in good condition as you can see the grooves on the rings and looks dry around the pistons.
Great video. When i started Driving HGV'S 40 YRS ago i had a Bedford KM V6 Detroit then a TM with V8 Detroit, loved them great fun to drive and fast, but thirsty as fuck!
ran a Gmc truck for years which had detroit 671 two stroke engine , a LITTLE HARD TO START IN mINUS 20 degree C weather but it could pull. leaned fast to listen for rack sticking as it would go quiet before blowing its lid
Great video, one of the best explanations of the 2cycle diesel, the Japanese had a clone of a Detroit Diesel that used a external injection pump, guys called them Tokyo screamers
Enthusiastic explanation, very good, i have a 6 71 war time engine retro fitted in a 1941 diamond t, also have a 12v 71 in a peterbilt, silver 92 going into a white wrecker, and 2x 8v 71 engines on the workshop floor all in essex uk,,
@@LordMuck used to use one in the 70s for heavy recovery,had a hercules, took it out and put a 220 cummins with 6 speed overdrive gearbox out of a guy in it, it would do 45mph, still exists in bedfordshire,.
Really interesting video- I always thought they were running at really high revs (compared directly to 4-strokes) based on the screaming noise so really interesting to learn about 2-stroke workings
Really well explained, i remember seeing/hearing a Bedford TM with a Detroit in the mid 80,s , hauling wheat to a feed mill in Hampshire, a fair old hill on the way out, pulled like a freight train up there
Bearing in mind I am 54 years old I can remember the coal man coming to our house when I was about 7 or 8 with a Commer wagon with a two stroke in it and thinking to myself that's different to the Foden gravel wagons that went past the road end, some years later about 10 I did some work for a timber yard they had a couple of timber jacks which they used for forwarding and winching, the penny dropped, they both had Detroit diesels in them awesome power but loud. Let's be getting on, cheers
Excellent explanation. As a kid a colliery near us ran TS 24 scraper boxes building mountains of shale. I loved the note as both engines were thrashed running flat out up the haul roads screaming their nuts off. When I first come to the States in 1985 many trucks and buses had Detroit’s fitted. I did drive a TM Bedford tractor unit belonging to Ryder in Park Royal with the V6 but just bobtail so couldn’t put it through its paces. Got a buzz driving it though👍🏴🇺🇸
I drove a boat with an 8V/71 and it ran away on me the cable to the emergency shut down wasn't connected so I had to reach over this screaming engine and operate it manually. The emergency shut down is a flap under the blower that shuts off the air supply.
Used to work on v8-71 and v12-71 series in offshore Bucyrus erie mk35 and mk100 pedestal cranes. absolute bomb proof but used to use oil like no tomorrow.
I heartily second the comment of Channel JP below. Bus Grease Monkey is very good but hasn't gone back to the primers as you did here with the elementary basics.
We had a grain truck with a 4-71 in it. She was a loyal old gal. I believe that the 6V92T was considered supercharged because of the turbo adding the supercharging to the blower. I enjoyed the explanation. She's a right mint specimen Bud 👌🏻. Bus Monkey has a wealth of knowledge on the Detroit. It's a joyful noise 🤘🏻😎.
6V-92T is classed as turbo'd because it's increased blower pressure via the turbo. It is possible to have supercharged air but that's another method and it's not something we are looking at when discussing the basic principles.
in the late 70`s/early 80`s used to operate Terex shovels 72/71 and Terex dumpers 33-07. Both had Detroit Diesel engines V8 and V12`s. Great engines with starting fluid, would start on even the coldest mornings. But when they let go they let go.
An explosion is a fast burn, all common fuels burn. If there was no explosion there would just be fuel burnt and the piston would have no power stroke.
Never been near a detroit, but they do sound sweet. Have experience of a 2 stroke diesel single on a Ransomes MG6 crawler. Cranky and prone to reverse starting that one. But fun to play with once running. Just looked, it was a Drayton 34R engine.
Once again great channel to watch fantastic content. Very clearly explained on how things work for those of us who don’t have your wide knowledge and expertise truly an educational journey Thank you
What an excellent video. Very informative. I always thought the Detroit’s was like a normal two stroke with reed valves. Also the cam timing the injectors makes things a lot simpler.
You have done a better job explaining the inner workings of a Detroit then anyone else I’ve run across, I commend you for that! The only thing you didn’t explain is the reason for low torque. Length of stroke dictates torque. Half the stroke and you’re in a exhaust mode, which means zero power. Detroit’s are a great power plant engine, but unfortunately not that common in the US anymore. Keep up the great work!
The idea of the vid was to keep it as simple as possible. I could go into injector settings, fuel pressures, power increase etc but there's no point in a simple vid. We can look at other bits as we progress with the rebuild.
Excellent explanation thank you for the video so what happens to all of the unused air does it just keep circulating. I've never heard one pop off as if there was a pop-off valve like a turbo so I was just curious.
The 'unused' air remains in the air box (for a split second) and is used to push the exhaust gases out then followed up by air pushed in for the induction stroke and so on
Didn't know the 2 stroke diesel existed till I worked in Australia there was one in international truck on a farm I worked remember doing oil change think used some special red oil.
Brilliant, really well explained. What's the plan for the engine once it's fixed?
Rev the fuck out of it.

The best explanation of 2 stroke diesel engines that I have ever seen
There was a Fordson Major with a Detroit diesel at a tractor pull I went to as a kid, best sounding thing there!!
i now know and understand how a 2 stroke diesel works. well done mucker.
THAT was one of the most informative shows I have ever watched. LOVED it!!!! Do more.Teach us all!
I've just been educated about 2 stroke diesels, l never fully understood how it produced power on every stroke, thank you kindly.
Well now, who knew?
I've worked on many a Gardner 4 stroke diesel, but never needed to understand a 2 stroke diesel. I do now. Thanks for the vid ,I've learned something new today.👍
Thank you Lord Muck. well done ,I just picked up a 3-71 out of a mill and I cant wait to try it!

Great video Kurt 👌 nothin like a Detroit on a Dyno at a show to pull the crowds in 💪💪
Good to have you back fella
Didn't know the 2 stroke diesel existed till I worked in Australia there was one in international truck on a farm I worked remember doing oil change think used some special red oil.
