Great auld truck there with a fine tipping trailer , the V8 is going mighty well , these engines and trucks should not be killed off this is heritage at its best ,,thank you for the wounderful video , i could watch it all day long ,,all the very best
I didn't know they put this engine in the crusade ! Rolls Royce or Cummins normally ? I remember the Bedford they had the Detroit in , loved the sound , it's fantastic people are keeping these on the road , well done and thank you
@@santopiantado1161 Hi Santo. The 8V71 seemed to average about 4 4.5 MPG in it's natural state with a turbo they got 6.5. The 1693 Cat was a powerful engine in it's time but it was a bit thirsty. The Series 60 was very economical
I must admit I have Never seen a Scammel Crusader fitted with a Detroit in the UK,the only engine options here were Rolls Royce or Cummins to my knowledge,it might have been an export only option but that was one mean machine lugging that stone ballast up that hill great to hear that distinctive sound.
As a kid, I always wondered how the Leyland Crusader of the Salt Works could sound so funny and insignificant, but could carry a HUGE load...little did I know the might of a Detroit diesel!!
Obviously in some British colony, driving on the wrong (left) side! 😄 Was it an imperative that these 2-stroke-cycle diesels, like the Detroit or Commer, had straight pipes with no mufflers? I'd like to build a project 4-71 Jimmy into an older 1-ton or heavier truck, but couldn't see it not muffled.
@@zopEnglandzip The 6LXB Gardners were good on fuel but slow as a snail. The straight 8s had more power but used a bit more juice about 6.5mpg which an 8V71T could get pulling a triaxle trailer.
@@andrewking9761 a friend of mine works in the ratcliffe power station, they have a brace of diesel engines for "brown start" one is the v8 detroit, the other is the later turbocharged gardner 6. It amuses me that these should be the engines of choice for when all else fails. Personally now they are both historic relics, I'd always rather listen to the gardner song other than that I'm not sure we should compare them too much, produced for different markets with different requirements and both exceptionally well made.
Chris,these 2strokes are NOT revving all that high they just sound that way because all 8cylinders fire every revolution of the crankshaft, if it was a 4stroke only 4cylinders would have fired every revolution of the crankshaft so it sounds as though the 2stroke is reviving twice as fast when in fact the engine or crankshaft speed is the same probably around 2200rpm,also the 2stroke has less effective silencers because it can’t run with any back pressure in the exhaust system it has to be a straight through pipe or near enough.

Fantastic sound from the old stroker. Shame fuel costs and emission laws killed most of them off.
Does 2 strokes are so hard on fuel consupmtion Compared whit the engine's of that era?

It makes perfect sense.. why not turn on your heater, and open the window?
Sounds Great!Good to see a Crusader still working😎👍
It sounds awesome, you can't beat the sound of a V8!

beautiful countryside, too.
Sounds the business Great sound love the noise of the Detroit diesel.
Passed my HGV1 in a Scammel Crusader..May 1980..belting machine..
Learnt to drive hgv class one on a scammell crusader in Germany also drove foden 16 tonners with what we called a hh box and a gb box!
Very beautiful truck and beautiful Sound 😍
Going really well,, hardly any smoke
What a nice sound.
Nothing better than a Detroit!
The sound is amazing
That's a hell of a noise ❤
if i could like this video 100 times I would
Wow a racing car that can pull a Jumbo Jet,all those angry Motown wasps buzzing under the cab.
Impresionante
Shaun Lambardo restoring a Scammell as well! =)
i love this noise
How much would that rock fill weigh my guess about 30 tons?
Sounds like the camera man's cracking one off.
flipper .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cant blame him really, truck porn !
beauty

👍👍👍👍👍
Where is this?
Nelson , New zealand
Remind me back in 1980s ridding in SCAMMELL logging truck's OREGON HAULING logging com Taupo NZ
Sounds like an 8V-92 NA . Could be an 8-71 TA , but I don't think so .
Mate, its a 8v71, ok.
Is that a rare truck.
v8 pwr
That truck in nz
I always think that these 2 strokes sound as if they will explode. I hate to hear engines revving at great speeds
Compared to the gentle melody of Gardner it sounds a bit busy.
They dont rev that high but i get your point

Is that on jake? It got away with him...
A Think Your On The Jake
I hate to mention this but a Jake is only used on down hill runs to keep the vehicle brakes cool,you need to leave the juice alone.
