- The Detroit 4-53T in my 1949 Diamond T 306 got new exhaust stacks and a new turbo. Let's hear the music! I give the details of the upgrades before starting the engine. Plenty of classic 2-stroke Detroit Diesel song to enjoy.

The world needs Detroit back
What a beautiful sound of this Detroit engine!
Yeah right but the new BRP 1.9L ETEC g2 2 stroke can can kick the crap out of the old 4-53 2 stroke and is outdoing it in 2 stroke engine swaps, The 1.9l 3 cyl is close to a 3-53 and delivers way more power too. The new arcticat 858 is on par with a 4-53 2 stroke and a 4-53 2 stroke detroit runs fine with klotz techiplate 2 stroke oi like my 8v92. A detroit is like like a polaris snowmobile engine sort of!A 4-53 sounds like a 74 scorpion 440 CCW or kinda like my John deere JDX8 which had a CCW 440 which leaked like a detrioit but kept on going! cheers!
@@jlo13800An outboard...gasoline?Didn't you feature nice k series Detroit powered videos?
I remember this body style from my youth, it's a great looking truck.
Great job. I love it. Please consider hearing protection for your kiddos.
From years of driving Detroit powered trucks I can tell you that the high pitched whine of the blower and turbo are equal if not more damaging to your hearing as the loud noise.
My father put a 453 turbo Detroit in the F350 Ford flatbed 1 ton back in like 1980 pops mated it to a 5x4 didn’t have a lot of power, but man the look and sound was so unique people loved it
Very nice indeed.:) You're going to love the 7A77's, just about the right power and no smoke.:)
wow what a beautiful walk
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Now that is one sweet looking & sounding Diamond T. You should have plenty of power & ability to haul/get down the road. I love seeing the old trucks getting a new lease on life. I have a 51 REO that a work in progress. It needs lots of work, but most of the older trucks do, as you probably know. Many of us like to know as many details of a build & a visual evidence of it all. Looking good, Dude! Will be a treasure! Blessings. 💥🥰✌️
Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you've got a good project!
@@hanscustomshop 🇺🇸 A good project indeed. I have a 454 or a DT466 diesel to use in it. Not sure what route I’m taking yet. I have much to do before then. It’s currently a wrecker. It’s coming along. Enjoyed your truck. Have fun with your truck! 💥🤩✌️
Oh boy think I found a NEW channel to watch 😎!
"It's not fancy but it gets the job done" probably accurately describes a lot of us.
Putting any sort of wood on that frame would be sacrilege and cheesy 🧀 ,,,she's just to beautiful for that, nice video, thanks,!
Can't believe such a small engine was ever installed in something that big!
Sounds great! I actually like the deeper tone. I put N80s in a natural 6V53 it smoked but not like a pulling tractor or semi! You need to watch some Oliver 1950 pulling tractors with the 4-53s turned WAY up. No turbos. They breathe fire at 5k rpms.
I've seen those pulling videos... pretty wild!
Ole gal has a hell of a growl to her! Super Sweet Rig
She sounds healthy
Yooo, run that mother hubbard down the road, that thing sounds badass. You can really hear the blower through the exhaust giving an otherwise boring 4-cylinder some kind of epic synth/raid siren sounding overtone.
Awesome truck and great sounding. If you still need to reduce the noise or drone level on the interior look into Kilmat or similar sound deadening insulation products, it's a thin butyl rubber sound insulation sheets that has a self adhesive side and you just stick it on your interior sheet metal wherever needed, a 2-4" hand roller helps adhere it into crevices and make it form to the panels.
That's good advice, thanks. I do have the firewall covered in the butyl rubber sheeting. I'll be adding more as I work through the rest of the interior. 👍
Thanks for the reminder, I was trying to think of that name, the other one that I know about is called Lizard skin, or sknz
Making me feel old. I was going to suggest Dynamat. 😒
Love the truck. Those Detroit's sound like they will come apart when you get them going.
I'd love to put a polished aluminum box on the back and make a tiny house out of a truck like that. HOUSE ROD? Lol
Looking good brother
I LOVE IT!!! SHE CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Nice ride my new friend , keep the video’s coming ! 🍺♥️😎
Such a freaking cool truck! Would love to do something like this, no time though. Enjoy!
Me too. No mon no fun
Sweet ride
Good job be good to see it driving
Love it! Thanks for the details on the exhaust and the turbo! I have a 453t , ‘48 Ford f5 and an ‘85 f350 dually rolling chassis. Still looking for a trans, possibly 8 spd. But, I am thinking of selling the 453 and looking for a 353. That 3 cylinder has a nastier sound IMO. Keep the updates coming on this beauty!
Thanks for your comment. The 453 was a very tight fit in this truck. In hindsight, a 353 would have been a much easier selection. But I'll make good use of the extra power. I actually just recently bought a salvaged Silver 3-53T out of an aircraft tug. I don't know what it'll be going into yet, but I've got some ideas. 👍
No matter which one you use. It will always sound better naturally aspirated.
Havan arctic cat 1000 triple natural gas generac which runs good and makes 277/480v power. how does an detroit 4-53 2 stroke compare and detroits run better klotz techniplae like an 8-71.
The AC 1000 is 1800 rpm and 48 kw, it could do 32 kw with the exhaust valves at lower port timing at 1200 rpm thought. She can burn either shell rotella or amsoil interceptor though, oil pressure about 40 psi of VRO feed.
love the 8v71 Detroit diesel 2 stroke and love the v12 version too
Well, that’s a pretty little ol rig there
Awesome!
Just found your channel. I love these old trucks. Especially the Screamin Demons! . I leaned to drive in 1986 in an old
GMC Astro with an 8v something in it. Goota love that Detriot sound! Regards from Ody Slim
Thanks for your comment. I learned to drive in an old White Road Boss with an 8V71... probably very similar to that Astro. 👍
Man,that is super cool!!!
Sounds freakin sweet!
Truck sounds awesome man! I’ve built several gas V8s in my day but i recently decided to try my hand on my first diesel. My son found a 12 valve p pump Cummins at or local pull a part for 300 bucks! It’s getting tore down to go to the machine shop. Now you got me wanting a Detroit! 😂
Sounds like a fun project... what's the Cummins going in?
@@hanscustomshop either a square body 3/4 ton suburban, or a second gen dodge single cab dually with a manual trans.
You can put as many mufflers and as much sound deadening in there ya want, probably still won’t be able to have a conversation without yelling 😂 love them ole 2 strokes 🤘🏼 nice build!
Lead?
Damn, what a bad ass, cool truck!
bro is babying the revs LOL cant be a real man
It sounds great. Very nice truck
Thanks for the video 🔧👍
Awesome
So awesome! The truck is lookin good!
Awesome. I’m jealous!
Sounds so good
Love that sound
One.Bad.Dude!!! I subscribed!
We had an old Terex dozer with a wore out 6v71t. The boss had a mechanic put in an 8v92t. That was a bad machine 😮😮😮.
Sounds sweet
Would make a great rig to pull a gooseneck or 5th wheel travel trailer
Pulling a trailer even with a small load could easily take a mile to get it up to 55 mph .Most people wouldn't be able to mentaly handle that.
What kind of fuel mileage would it get pulling a light load?
Cool truck
They are very fuel ifficiant if they have overdrive . I had one in a pickup and got around 40 miles a gal cruising.
That's fantastic. I'm looking forward to finding out how this truck does. I do have a 0.8 overdrive 10th gear and 3.55 in the rear end.
What an incredible build!!!! I freaking love it!
Ya' they are loud, I got a 1979 Ford F350 4x4 with a 453t, jake and a 10 spd od. It has a full size 4" bus muffler and you still can't hear yourself think!
Sounds great
Impressive.
A 2 speed diff would be perfect for that. You can change real quick with those.
I've got a 10 speed manual transmission with overdrive in the truck... gives me plenty of range. 👍
Nice job on the build 👍 love the chrome rocker cover and the pod filters are good you don't need any external crap piping etc.
I need that in my life 😅
Hi this Truck should be protected it’s so nice love noise love Detroits I drove 8.92 TT A with around 500. H P love them …your truck mate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Beauty full truck great sound love the old Patina trucks i have also a Chevy 54 Patina diesel truck greetings from Belgium europe 👍👍👍
Thanks for you comment. What size Chevy, and what diesel engine? I love to hear about similar projects!
@@hanscustomshop it is a 1/2ton pickup with a 6cylider diesel engine 👍
Cool! Nice truck
Very nice dt. but I would have made the stacks a bit taller. You are really gunna hear that 4cyl with em that low to the cab😊 looks great tho
Great job ! I like it
With turbocharged always let the engine idle for at least 30 seconds before shutting down engine puts oil in the turbo for lubricant and the turbo can spend at 20,000 RPM. With no oil going to the turbo it will go bad quick.
Yep a turbo timer is good to have.
🎉❤
Needs fresh outside intake air!! Put outside breathers it’s sucking in hot air under the hood!! It will perform better and get better fuel mileage with cool air intake
Is that the stock frame if so could you go over some of the suspension and tire size! Great build by the way also what transmission are you using as well as final gear ratio!
Thanks for the comment. I'm putting together a video with details on the suspension, wheels, etc. Transmission is a Roadranger RTO-6610 with 0.8 overdrive. Rear end has 3.55 ratio.
That starter sounds just as good for some reason, what starter is in it?
I agree, it sounds good and strong. It's a gear reduction starter from Masco, link below. I've got it hooked up with 2/0 cable.

Don't know if they made a bypass blower for the inline 53 series but without it your trying to push all the turbo boost through the blower which turn the blower into a restriction and a parasitic load. A company Johnson & Towers developed the bypass blower end plate that significantly improved performance on 92 and 149 series engine. I think they may have bypassed the 6V-53 on high output marine engines. Nice looking build. Good job.
Yes, Detroit made a bypass blower for this engine. It was installed on Silver series engines. I want one, but they are hard to find. Hope to make that upgrade sometime soon. 👍
Make their sure there is rubber in between the cab and your brackets holding with that that will help quiet down on the inside outside sounds great but running down the road especially with small kids. It could be hard on the ears. Nice looking truck buddy you’ve done a good job, I’m not envious but I’d like to have one just like it may God bless the godly redneck says be safe
Have you upgraded the seals in the roots blower? a weak point on the blowers! Sounds like the rack needs balancing also, shouldn't lope even cold. That is some rig you've got there 👍
I agree with you. After shooting this video, I didn't like the lope. I found that the Jake's buffer switch wasn't adjusted properly. I've got it adjusted, and believe this will stop the lope. The rack looks good. 👍
❤
Make a video when it's roadworthy.then the scream of the blower and the turbo spooling can be heard better
Are you planning on towing anything with that rig?
I plan to build a small flatbed car hauler to go along with this truck.
@@hanscustomshop love it. Please make vids of it
I saw a video couple whilst back were a truck similar to this was doing a start up Nd it ran away was it this truck or maybe I'm mistaking it for some one else😅.
Óleo do.motor usa, sae40 monoviscoso ou sae15w40?
its so perfect,
its so so perfect i have no words brotha.
Do you have a CDL or need one to drive it
Adjust the buffer screw, please.
Yes, after shooting this video I found the buffer screw out of adjustment. Won't lope like that any more.
What kind of things are you going to pull with
it?
Curious what the GVWR is. Also, while the patina is a thing, really restoring it to its full glory, a nice red paint job would make it look so much better. I know, display the cred it earned, but still. Then you will truly have something no one else has. A new 1949 Diamond T 306.
I love a Detroit and this is a gorgeous build.
The 7A77 is a 71-Series injector, have you had any issues with injector advance/timing on the 53?
Appears to have cleaned up quite well with the 300 turbo, what’s your boost pressure on the snail?
Cheers, Chris
I'll be able to answer your questions better after driving the truck some. Although the 7A77 is for 71 series like you mentioned, it is a popular choice for the 53 series folks that are looking for a little extra power. There are actually guys running 92 series injectors in 53 series engines. Regarding boost pressure, I'll be able to tell you once I drive the truck and can get the engine warmed up and loaded. Can't wait to do it! 👍
@@hanscustomshop Nice! Looking forward to the next video 👍

What are your wheels from ? I have a 1956 f600 with 6 lug steels would love to have aluminum
The front wheels are hard to find... Alcoa part number 863100. Found on some early 90's RV's. I shopped for 2 years before I found a set on ebay.
What are those fuel tanks off of and are the wheels 6 lug 22.5?
Fuel tanks are aluminum, custom built. Front wheels are 6 lug 22.5", hard to find Alcoa part number 863100. Rear wheels are standard big rig 10 lug.
@@hanscustomshop Ok Thanks. Im looking for tanks that size to fit a '52 Chevy 6400. Big rig tanks are too big in dia. What front axle are you running?
@@witcher71 That's exactly what I found. I searched for the right size fuel tanks in the OEM market and had no luck. Front axle is from a modern small COE box truck, but I still had to narrow it to keep the track width the same.
What are you going to do with this truck? What kind of bed are you going to put on It? Please let me know.
It's going to be a road tractor. I've got a huge semi truck 5th wheel hitch that I'll mount on the back. Eventually plan to build a little low-boy trailer to haul cars.
5:30
Very cool love the patina 🍻👍
What kind of bed are you going to put on it?
Dump? Flatbed?
I've got a massive 5th wheel hitch from a semi truck. Going to make this a road tractor.
I wonder how much weight the Frame is capable of hauling or towing?
Did you beef up the frame rails or anything?
@@moms762 This truck is a 306H model, and it already has a double frame. Plenty of strength there, and I don't plan to do any extreme weight.
My father retired as a long time Diesel Machanic . And you could tell what engine brand he had been working on all day ! If it was a Detroit ? You best not say a word until he finished his third Beer 🍺
What,,no JAKE ???
I do have Jakes on this engine! We'll have fun listening to them in upcoming videos...
Sounds like a tug boat
That's cool if you like noisy as hell
Doesnt sound bad for a single breasted yamaha.
Half way through you're still talking. We want to hear the engine,
sounds like its about to throw a rod. yuck
Lower the front and put a little sleeper on it . Another axel.
Switchblade turbo
this guy thinks he's a mechanic not
That old Detroit sounds nice, with a little sound deading didn't hurt the noise level. Hopefully it wont hurt your ears, or rattle your brain. The truck is looking good too. 😊
I love the new Rotax 850 etec turbo r at 1200 rpm, polaris 850 and acrtic cat 858 those are the jimmy's of snowmobiles!
My two favorite things about this project: (1)You are having fun; and (2) you are proud of what you are doing! To me, that says it all.
Oh, and I almost forgot my third favorite thing: (3) the truck!
Thank you for the kind comment, and you're right on all 3 counts!
Those front rear spring hangars are a work of art. Vintage hardware is the tits yo!
Those are modern International air ride spring hangers.
Would one of these old girls handle towing a fifth wheel travel trailer
It totally depends on what drivetrain you go with. In stock form... most these old trucks were geared way too low for today's highway speeds. But with modern drivetrain they can absolutely tow a 5th wheel travel trailer. My truck is setup to be comfortable at 75 mph.
Just awesome, I love these old Diamond T's. For some reason I thought that all the Detroit's had to use a rootes type of supercharger. Great job, if I get to Colorado some day I hope to see it person, maybe let us know if you are going to a car show.
You're right... all 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engines use a "blower" to blow fresh air into the cylinders and scavenge exhaust gas out. The blower doesn't increase the pressure of the air, so the term supercharger really doesn't fit. Turbochargers were an option for many of the Detroit Diesel models. The turbocharger feeds high pressure air into the intake of the blower. 👍
Sound is Sex for me in motors. Nice job!!! cant wait to see it done complete!
So I have a 453 detroit diesel. I've been looking to put in a truck still looking for a truck to put it in. My question is what trans are you using, adapter plate and turbo. Another thing is I'm looking to put a set of Jake's on mine. Any help is appreciated
I'm using a Roadranger RTO-6610 transmission, which is a 10 speed manual. No adapter plate, but you need to make sure your bellhousing and clutch housing are the same size (for example, SAE #2). I had a Silver turbo on the engine, but recently installed this Pulsar 300 series with a 63mm compressor wheel. I haven't driven the truck yet, so can't report on how well the turbo works. Jake's are tough... they are relatively rare for the 53 series, so very expensive (maybe $1000 per cylinder). I do know some folks are working on an aftermarket solution.
