      he junked that truck back in the 80es but i have that old 318 and the transmission a 8 speed ranger sitting on a stand in the back of my garage. i have never turned a bolt on it the thing is a oil crusted mess and it will start and run every time i crank it over.

    Some decades ago (ca. 1970 until about 1991), Seattle Fire's trucks were mostly Kenworths w/ either 6-71 or 8V-71 power. To me, there was nothing quite so haunting as hearing a bunch of them, responding to a night fire call, Federal "Qs" screaming away, air horns, and the straight-piped (w/ Jakes) sound of those engines...

      Detroit powered just about all fire apparatus during those years. Good thing too, you might be in pump for a couple of hours, or a couple of days. They are loud, leak and not very fuel efficient. But when you hit that button and it fired, you knew as long as it has fuel (Jimmy Juice) it wont quit. We trusted our lives to Detroit and those Jimmy's never let us down! I Never could say that about CAT.
      Ha, Federal Q2, that brings back a flood memories. Many a night i almost pushed that foot switch through the floor board coming up to an intersection! Jimmy Jakes and a screaming Q...sweet music of good times.

      I don‘t believe those 2stroke- diesels were as efficient as 4stroke diesels of that period. Besides the good sound and maybe good torque. - It‘s about cost- efficentcy and air-pollution- not loudness or call it good sound. Do you like loud good sound when you want to sleep near a road ??

    At trucking school, back in the mid 80's, we trained on a bunch of old LTL White day cabs with 6V92T's hooked up to long-throw Spicer 7spds. That engine was so easy to drive, with it's lack of heavy freewheel, it shifted just slightly slower than a car tranny.

      Knew a farmer that stuck one of them in a Farmal tractor. Man did that thing go through the field, when it was running. Spent quite a bit of time waiting for a new clutch or ta. The clutch or ta would of probably held up if it had been operated proper. He was one of those crazy ones.

    The green screamers have personality and a soundtrack like no other. As a little kid in Jersey I still remember all those gm buses and day cab freighters playing their song.
    Learned for my CDL on an 8v92 Silver with 13 speed western star. Felt like a giant hot rod with how fast it rowed through the gears. It was actually quiet with the turbo and twin mufflers, but still had that cool sound and big power.

    In the mid to late 60's there was a carnival that came to town every year. And what supplied all of the electricity for the entire carnival? Not one , but two (2) Detroit 12v71, both had double turbos and blowers, both engines were painted white with lots of chrome accessories and were cradled and bolted to a flat-bed trailer. The engines were covered on the flatbed with clear Plexiglas (I think). Anyway, those Detroit's would sing. As a son of a truck driver and a young boy it was a beautiful thing, and that is why I always loved Detroit's. Seems toooo me that who-ever owned the carnival loved and was very proud of his power unit as well.

    I first learned to drive in a 1974 International coe and a 1974 Ford Louisville 9000 and they both had 8V71 318 hp. My first truck was a brand new GMC General with an 8V92 435 hp. For those who don’t know what the 71 or 92 means is the amount of cubic inch per cylinder. And they where 2 strokes engines. If tuned right they pulled pretty good for the time.

    Brings me back childhood of dad's Detroit screaming down our streets as he came home from work, triggering off our liberal neighbors.
    In the end the truck was sold off for part and a decade later I saw it in the scrap yard in pieces and it broke my heart. Because that truck was my hero as a kid and now it felt to me it was slowly losing its sole in a junk yard.

    We had a Trans Star with a 318 Detroit, it always ran great. I drove my friends military Gama Goat its and amphibious 6 wheel drive transport vehicle and it had a 3-53 Detroit in it and you were almost sitting right along side of that engine when driving. I drove it about 40 miles to a truck show and I didnt even make it out of his driveway before I was wearing ear muffs. Currently I have an M977 HEMTT 8 wheel drive military transport truck and its got an 8V92 it makes just under 500 hp and its a true joy to drive, love that Detroit!

      I might want to convert my 8v92 2 stroke silver into methanol or ethanol and 6 gallons of castor 927 maxima 2 stroke beam oil! I’m already running BRP XD-100 etec oil with great results. She runs smoother with a bit more power. I dumped in 2 quarts of amsoil interceptor 2T for good measure. Full synthetic 2 stroke oil is amazing stuff! Interceptor is at 60$ a gal but I get the XD-100 for 48$ a gal at Walmart . An achates power 2 stroke probably will run with quicksilver TCW3 full synthetic.

      Wasnt it why starting fluid was invented.? Because those older Detroit's didn't have a cold weather starting system, glow plugs, intake grid heaters, engine or fuel heaters. Probably still today, you'll see empty cans and/or open case of starting fluid behind the seat inside of the cab of those old Detroit-powered trucks. Love those Detroit's!

    My dad learned to drive truck in a 1967 Kenworth conventional with an 8V71 Detroit in it. Ill never forget how loud it was. He came rolling up to the house one day in it, and you could hear that truck coming up for at least four or five blocks; it really sounded cool.
    Years later, he went to work for a fellow who leased his trucks out to Elliott Bay Trucking out of Seattle (the ones who haul the trailers whose cans were removable and stackable on ships and trains). Dude put my dad in a nice black and silver 1979 Peterbilt 359 with a Silver 92 in it.
