sometimes i get a bit sad,i dont know why i have nothing to complain about BUT sometimes i find myself in a hole and watching this fella work out how to get trucks cars motorbikes farm machinery going always gets my mind in a better place ,thankyou
Indeed I heard an old Mack tow truck go by about 2 years ago at work while taking out the trash I heard something accelerating and didn’t know what it was until I saw it And Boy was it screaming
The reason your fuel went down so fast is because it's constantly pumping fuel through the injectors and back to the tank through the return line. Most of your fuel was going back into the old tank on the truck. Drove a Chevy just like that, same cab and engine, except it was a tandem dump and had the five and four-speed transmission setup like that International.
Now you see why the Detroit Diesels (Screaming Jimmies) have such a strong following. They were very popular for generators engines because you didn't have to run a block heater constantly. They could be cold, go from off to full throttle and stay there with no problems. It actually has a very interesting history. It was designed in 1936 by Winston Motor Cars and they tried to sell it to the US navy. Because you could run them wide open all day long (and the military don't care about fuel economy) the Navy bought them. Winston spun the engine off to a new subdivision of Winston called Cleveland Diesel and they started building engines for the military. Problem was, like willys, they were too small of a company to build enough so the Gov gave it to GM to build. GM gobbled up Cleveland Diesel and it became detroit diesel. Funny thing about the gov, you sign a contract for the military, you build the product but you also give them the rights to that product and design. This is how the jeep was moved from willys to Ford, and how the DD was moved from Cleveland Diesel to GM. There were a lot of machinations that took place for all of this to pan out but i kept it simple. Another interesting tidbit...with a kit you could make the DD tier 2 emissions legal. (Tier 2 is EGR... 1- cat, 2- cat/egr, 3- cat/egr/dpf, 4- cat/egr/dpf/scr (although, in many cases the scr is efficient enough to dump the egr system))
Cool story, but when GM purchased Winton Motor Carriage Company in 1930, they changed the name to Winton Engine Corporation. The design of the Two-stroke 71 series wasn't yet around then, It wasn't until later that it was designed by a group of GM engineers.
Interesting that you mention emissions controls, obviously 2 strokes are awful in the efficiency and PM department, but i'd imagine they'd produce far less NOx as a side effect. would be curious if someone actually took some measurements
My late father had a truck here in Australia with a V6-53, it was a great unit to drive, I spotted straight away that you had tripped the shut off, glad you went back to it. The V6-53 was really sweet when hooked to a 10 speed RoadRanger gearbox. They are a real ball to drive.
When I first started this old engineer said to me… you don’t know anything until you learn about it. Stuck with me my whole life. Learn something new everyday and you’ll be rich in knowledge all your days. Loving your content btw. 👍
An engine worth saving. I heard them back in the late 70's and early 80's on Blue Bird buses in my childhood years back in El Salvador. Great memories, those engines are music to my ears.
You are truly a mechanic. Not a new part switcher but a true mechanic. This country needs more mechanic and less PADS. Plus You love dachshund what's not to love Chris.

Dude your skill set is amazing. You are one of those people who just will not be defeated. That man should sell you that engine for cheap since YOU are the one who got it running.
I use to drive a GMC General with a 6V92 and another with a 8V92. So much fun , sounds like your doing 200 mph. I also had a 97' 379 peterbilt with a series 60 Detroit diesel 500 HP, my friends had Cats and Cummins and would make fun of my Detroit but I got way better fuel mileage and while I couldn't out pull them I could definitely keep up.
When I was a kid there was a local company that delivered heating oil with a fleet of 6v53 C70 tanker trucks. I remember hearing those things screaming up the hill in our neigborhood. Scared the heck out of me back then, but I love that sound now!
Such a cool truck. If only it was in a little better shape, it could definitely be repurposed as something. I think it would make a really cool RV conversion, it would take a lot of money but imagine the way it would turn out.
great video, i lived in a 1952 gm bus motirhome conversion, i started the diesel engine every few weeks, it took off one time i about had a heart attack, i finally took a ten bolt plate off and used a rag to shut the air off, very scarey.
Chris I looked up the word persistence in the dictionary and your picture was there. Out of curiosity i looked up the word crazy wild man and your picture was there too……just sayin…..lol . Another great video brother
Best regards from Poland. Perfect idea for the best TH-cam series pushing you to see more and more. Wish myself you will continues even more working eaquely with forgotten cars tnd trucks like this. Best enrertainment for anyone who enjoy automotive even in smallest part. waiting for the next... Radoslaw
Oh Chriswhen you were shooting the Last Mile for that C70 Moving Truck and you can hear those tires screeching, even attempting on that hard right, softened by going wide, Suzy tried to turn away from her dismal end.... The pang in my 💔 was heavy and it didn't help when you gave her a name.... that nearly brought them salty secretions flowing. Good Bye Suzy
Great video,thought that thing was gonna implode in the beginning.well atleast if there were any living creatures in the engine or engine compartment,they were rocketed to the moon....lol
Lol that towing was gold. I flat towed 2 IH Loadstar 1600 grain trucks a good 40 miles w/ a home made tow bar and a duramax. I steered the grain truck and the duramax was pulling/brakes lol. Man id do about anything for an old 2 stroke Detroit. I want a 471 or a 6VXX really bad.
You gave that 2 stroke diesel the beans my brotha! It sounded very healthy and it rapped out like an actual 2 stroke ATC 250R! Kind of any way. I'm very interested to see what happens to the old hauler! Honestly, I hope it is going to be saved and put back to work🙏🇺🇸
Probably could winch with a snatch block or two.Love that truck,glad I’m not there I’m a sucker for old iron.Wish it could tell it’s story.God bless you on your journey
Chris! I am hooked on watching your videos! So Far my favorite is the Fury Wagon and will go back & Watch again. In 1979 (long ago) I bought a 67 Belvedere 2 Door, with the 318 for $100. Got it going and did some floor board repairs and added new carpet. Then I sold it. Wish I would have kept it...
SCREAMIN DETROIT! I gotta find me one!! I got a bunch of CATs and one ole 290 Cummins in my old single axle international paystar dump truck runs pretty damn good! That truck is sick nothing like oldschool Looks, power plants, noise, mechanics you name it
On a Detroit the rack is in the full throttle position when not running then the governor idles it when it starts. Put a pair of vise grips on the rack tube in idle position then fire it. There usually is an emergency shutdown flap over the intake and the blower shaft sometimes will round off but you can pull the blower shaft out and put it in backwards temporarily and it’ll run fine. Happened to me on shrimp boats many many times
Back in the early 2000s i worked for a shortline railway in New Illinois and a farmer part time....he had a C70 as a tractor and i used it often hauling grain .....was a die hard truck stacked upto anything new at the time.
Hey Chris this brings back so many memories of my dad he drove a truck like that straight job that's what they called a box truck like that he worked for a moving co called Anderson Benson and he worked for another moving co called JJ sullivan they were a division of Mayflower mover's he did that from 1949 until 1973 he told so many interesting stories of those days moving people those trucks were used for piano moving my dad used to work a lot in New York City and he would tell me about the days of having to lower pianos from third floor apartments using block and tackle and they would load the pianos into a truck just like that they were called piano vans I thought I would share that with hope you find that interesting because these videos are so very interesting keep up the good work Chris I love these videos
Hey man, Great Video! I absolutely LOVE Detroit Diesels! I drove a fire engine with a 6V92T in it for years and that thang ran like a scalded ape! I sure hope you're able to acquire the motor and reinstall it in a project of your own! I really enjoyed the tidbit at the end with the Loadstar too, that smile on your face was priceless!
I think the reason it wouldn’t run was you released the intake trap door in front of the blower. You have to reset the latch and it would likely run. Update, I Just saw you eventually figured it out on the International, the 53 series engines are very simple.
Your videos are great. Don't sweat it, shorter videos with "cliff hangers" are fine. That's how you "keep em comin back for more". If you ever make to Alaska hit me up and we can take my river boat out and kill some salmon. It's kind of like the air boat you have. Its a cobbled together 21' aluminum smoker craft inboard jet with a 2.0 chrysler but it runs like a beast. Sure it leaks but as long as you go forward and keep the pump running its all good. Not really worried about sinking it in rivers that are only a few feet deep, you can always just run it up on a gravel bar or the shore if it starts gettin "nautical". I'm gonna try flex seal and see how that stuff holds up.
Fantastic upload Sir. Another good 2 stroke diesel video "Screaming Jimmy" Deboss Garage, they destroy a 16cyl 2 stroke Detroit It fired right up as well. Way more scary then the little 6cyl.
Glad to see you got the motor to run. I hope the owner just lets you keep the motor for your effort since he was just going to cut it up for scrap. Maybe you can work out a deal to help him dispose of the truck's body and frame and keep the motor for free or maybe flip the owner $100.
Just in case you didn't know, you can buy a water-sensing paste that you can put on a piece of steel rod or a tape measure and stick into a fuel tank and it will tell you exactly how much water is in a fuel tank. It is like a crayon, only a bit softer, and you just smear a little onto the end of a tape measure and stick it into the fuel tank and the water will turn it red. The paste is usually yellow, don't know if there are other colors. That could save you from having to crawl under and pull a plug or open a petcock to see if there is water.
those racks were stuck when you fired it up the first time bc they hadn't seen oil for 30 years. once you started it and it ran away it pushed a ton of oil up there and gave them a bath. then you came back and took a look at them and they are unseized due to simply having gotten oil again. it def was running away. the injectors only get what fuel the racks give them so even if you have a stuck injector they wont have more fuel than what is provided. cool engine i hate seeing these Detroit engines go to waste. i had an 84 ford f250 4x4 with a detroit 453 t in it and 5" miter cut stacks. it was a screamer! im glad you didnt just give up after that first start up! i havent finished the vid yet when writting this so im hope you cut the mufflers off and really let it sing! haha
My friend Terry used to own a 1960 International BC-180 Tandem Dump truck with a 20 speed twin stick trans. 345ci Gas V8. The brakes didn't work haha I had a blast riding in it.
Whooo! That woulda scared the crap outta me! Lol. I did NOT think that would start right away. Hopefully he's getting a decent amount for scrap. I'm sure they'll at least use that motor around the scrap yard. Seems like alot of usable parts on it at least.
I knew it would run!!! its actually really clean in there. If the hood is not open most the time it sits its relatively dry and unharmed. I would pull the drive train and keep it, And then pull the box off of it and make a nice little dry workshop its perfect for that
They run away if you fill them with gasoline, petrol in Australia, he had to put it in gear 4 th and drop the clutch with the bake on hard 😅 brought to us next day found he filled diesel with petrol, gasoline, luckily he stopped it quick enough, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you for your hard work, simple try to start a Detroit. Myself have a 8-71 & a 353. both of them I have too manually RESET the Air Emergency shut off. The 8-71 has a button on dash ( solenoid on engine) the 353 has a long cable down to shut off. On the 871 have to watch kids carefully when they get in cab. Kids want to push/ pull all the switches. I covered the shut off with a rubber cover. My 871 has a pull out nob for stopping. on the dash, next to manual Throttle. On my 353 when I got her, the previous owner just had ONE battery. The battery cables got really HOT. I use 2 battery's. just saying what I have found on both my Detroit's. ONE battery gets really HOT ( cables) when starting.
Sorry for giving you a hard time with my comment on the oil bath from the U-Haul truck video. I keep forgetting that type of system isn't seen these days. I do enjoy your videos and keep up the good work!
The Detroit 53 series two cycle diesel was introduced in 1957. Although the engine used a roots type blower like its larger 71 series counterpart, it's classified as a naturally aspirated engine. Rather than being used strictly for performance reasons, the blower's purpose was to facilitate scavenging in the cylinder during the exhaust stroke. A turbocharged version of the engine, which still utilized a blower for scavenging, was offered beginning in 1977. "53" refers to the fact that, regardless of total engine displacement, each cylinder displaces 53 cubic inches.All 53 series diesels, regardless of displacement, feature a 3.875 inch bore and 4.50 inch stroke. It was offered in 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder and 12 cylinder configurations. The 8 cylinder version was primarily used in marine applications, although it was much less popular than the marine 8V-71. The 12 cylinder version is extremely rare and was reportedly only produced for 1965 to 1968 model years; it is rumored that under 25 of these engines were placed into service. This likely because the larger 12V-71 was more apt for applications that required an engine in this horsepower range and could manage the spacial restraints of a long, 12 cylinder engine. The 12v-53 produced just over 400 horsepower, where as the 12 cylinder 71 series produced a minimum 450 horsepower and up to 900 horsepower. The "silver 53" series was introduced in 1984. Modifications to the engine family promised better fuel economy, quieter operation, and more horsepower across the board.
I think you may have tripped the emergency stop on that 6v53 between when it was running and not running. It shuts off the air in case of a runaway. Hopefully someone at the scrap yard saved that engine. They are getting hard to find. They use them in a lot of antique fire engines. Nice video, than you for doing them!
Yeah that's exactly what happened! Figured it out toward the end of the video. And I ended up keeping this engine. I think it was the forklift video I did where I showed getting it for a little bit of work I did
Interesting factoid: While they are both owned by the same company and share interchangeable parts, Brockways are only known/marketed as such for the most part East of the Mississippi, but on the West of ol' Man River, they're known by the more common name of Mack Trucks.

Hey man, Great Video! I absolutely LOVE Detroit Diesels! I drove a fire engine with a 6V92T in it for years and that thang ran like a scalded ape! I sure hope you're able to acquire the motor and reinstall it in a project of your own! I really enjoyed the tidbit at the end with the Loadstar too, that smile on your face was priceless!
I am going on a memory lane trip, watching you and I hope that you are able to get it running. I wish I could get a motor like that also that run.
My Dad worked for GM Truck in Pontiac Michigan, I remember those 70 series trucks brand new...
Gus is so cool love your new little pup!
That was AWSOME! How much fun was that ? I was hollering YAAAAA!
It is a NoiseMaker! I’m so jealous!
So excited every time these videos pop up
No cap on the fuel tank - you know there is water in it !
Yeaa
Really really enjoyed this video!!! You did us all well! That red dump truck would be perfect for me!
I think the reason it wouldn’t run was you released the intake trap door in front of the blower. You have to reset the latch and it would likely run. Update, I Just saw you eventually figured it out on the International, the 53 series engines are very simple.
Love to hear the big rigs and the power boo coo power nnh
Your videos are great. Don't sweat it, shorter videos with "cliff hangers" are fine. That's how you "keep em comin back for more". If you ever make to Alaska hit me up and we can take my river boat out and kill some salmon. It's kind of like the air boat you have. Its a cobbled together 21' aluminum smoker craft inboard jet with a 2.0 chrysler but it runs like a beast. Sure it leaks but as long as you go forward and keep the pump running its all good. Not really worried about sinking it in rivers that are only a few feet deep, you can always just run it up on a gravel bar or the shore if it starts gettin "nautical". I'm gonna try flex seal and see how that stuff holds up.
Fantastic upload Sir. Another good 2 stroke diesel video
"Screaming Jimmy" Deboss Garage, they destroy a 16cyl 2 stroke Detroit
It fired right up as well. Way more scary then the little 6cyl.
Glad to see you got the motor to run. I hope the owner just lets you keep the motor for your effort since he was just going to cut it up for scrap. Maybe you can work out a deal to help him dispose of the truck's body and frame and keep the motor for free or maybe flip the owner $100.
Really appreciate your persistence. And more puppy!
omg those old trucks are bullet proof....ford chevy dodge all amazing back in the day!!! Great vid thanks!!!
Just in case you didn't know, you can buy a water-sensing paste that you can put on a piece of steel rod or a tape measure and stick into a fuel tank and it will tell you exactly how much water is in a fuel tank. It is like a crayon, only a bit softer, and you just smear a little onto the end of a tape measure and stick it into the fuel tank and the water will turn it red. The paste is usually yellow, don't know if there are other colors. That could save you from having to crawl under and pull a plug or open a petcock to see if there is water.
Allways get excited when I see a new video from nnkh!!!! Thank you for all ur hard work, I love your content!!
My schoolbus was one these in elementary. Sadly they got replaced with new ones in '06. That engine starting up gave me a flashback.
I like these old vehicles repairs, I have a few acres of the same. plus some early 20's and 30's ford and Chevy cars.
those racks were stuck when you fired it up the first time bc they hadn't seen oil for 30 years. once you started it and it ran away it pushed a ton of oil up there and gave them a bath. then you came back and took a look at them and they are unseized due to simply having gotten oil again. it def was running away. the injectors only get what fuel the racks give them so even if you have a stuck injector they wont have more fuel than what is provided. cool engine i hate seeing these Detroit engines go to waste. i had an 84 ford f250 4x4 with a detroit 453 t in it and 5" miter cut stacks. it was a screamer! im glad you didnt just give up after that first start up! i havent finished the vid yet when writting this so im hope you cut the mufflers off and really let it sing! haha
My friend Terry used to own a 1960 International BC-180 Tandem Dump truck with a 20 speed twin stick trans. 345ci Gas V8. The brakes didn't work haha I had a blast riding in it.
Whooo! That woulda scared the crap outta me! Lol. I did NOT think that would start right away. Hopefully he's getting a decent amount for scrap. I'm sure they'll at least use that motor around the scrap yard. Seems like alot of usable parts on it at least.
Detroit 2 strokes are some of the best sounding engines ever made.
With that red International what an amazing way to convert diesel fuel into noise. I do like that truck!
2-stroke Detroit Diesel. The most beautiful noise in the world !!
I knew it would run!!! its actually really clean in there. If the hood is not open most the time it sits its relatively dry and unharmed. I would pull the drive train and keep it, And then pull the box off of it and make a nice little dry workshop its perfect for that
They run away if you fill them with gasoline, petrol in Australia, he had to put it in gear 4 th and drop the clutch with the bake on hard 😅 brought to us next day found he filled diesel with petrol, gasoline, luckily he stopped it quick enough, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you for your hard work, simple try to start a Detroit. Myself have a 8-71 & a 353. both of them I have too manually RESET the Air Emergency shut off. The 8-71 has a button on dash ( solenoid on engine) the 353 has a long cable down to shut off. On the 871 have to watch kids carefully when they get in cab. Kids want to push/ pull all the switches. I covered the shut off with a rubber cover. My 871 has a pull out nob for stopping. on the dash, next to manual Throttle. On my 353 when I got her, the previous owner just had ONE battery. The battery cables got really HOT. I use 2 battery's. just saying what I have found on both my Detroit's. ONE battery gets really HOT ( cables) when starting.
Sorry for giving you a hard time with my comment on the oil bath from the U-Haul truck video. I keep forgetting that type of system isn't seen these days. I do enjoy your videos and keep up the good work!
as soon as you mentioned you having a 12v cummins...thats when i knew to subscribe
Great video bud! Amazing how you breathe life into that stuff.
That thing sounds so good just idling.
The Detroit 53 series two cycle diesel was introduced in 1957. Although the engine used a roots type blower like its larger 71 series counterpart, it's classified as a naturally aspirated engine. Rather than being used strictly for performance reasons, the blower's purpose was to facilitate scavenging in the cylinder during the exhaust stroke. A turbocharged version of the engine, which still utilized a blower for scavenging, was offered beginning in 1977. "53" refers to the fact that, regardless of total engine displacement, each cylinder displaces 53 cubic inches.All 53 series diesels, regardless of displacement, feature a 3.875 inch bore and 4.50 inch stroke. It was offered in 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder and 12 cylinder configurations. The 8 cylinder version was primarily used in marine applications, although it was much less popular than the marine 8V-71. The 12 cylinder version is extremely rare and was reportedly only produced for 1965 to 1968 model years; it is rumored that under 25 of these engines were placed into service. This likely because the larger 12V-71 was more apt for applications that required an engine in this horsepower range and could manage the spacial restraints of a long, 12 cylinder engine. The 12v-53 produced just over 400 horsepower, where as the 12 cylinder 71 series produced a minimum 450 horsepower and up to 900 horsepower. The "silver 53" series was introduced in 1984. Modifications to the engine family promised better fuel economy, quieter operation, and more horsepower across the board.
Man, I love your videos, I watch them daily now!
That international sounds amazing. If I had the room I would have loved to have that. Thank you for taking it for a drive.
Nothing quite like a two stroke diesel. Very cool.
I think you may have tripped the emergency stop on that 6v53 between when it was running and not running. It shuts off the air in case of a runaway. Hopefully someone at the scrap yard saved that engine. They are getting hard to find. They use them in a lot of antique fire engines. Nice video, than you for doing them!
Yeah that's exactly what happened! Figured it out toward the end of the video. And I ended up keeping this engine. I think it was the forklift video I did where I showed getting it for a little bit of work I did
That was awesome! Definitely want to see that airboat on the river.
Hopefully getting to the Airboat part 3 very soon! I'm stoked. Can't wait to get her on the water
Wow batteries in the front!!!! Can't wait to her this Detroit Diesel roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video dude! Always enjoy your stuff. Keep 'em coming!
No Nonsense.. I like it. Thanks Chris
The flapper on the intake is for inserting a pill of either.. Push the pill in and it will pierce the pill allowing the either to come out..
You are the man who has a great plan.
awesome new viedo keeping it real hey jen gd see the new pup and his litter mate and wowow more cool trucks
Good vid. Never been much of a diesel guy but always learn something from your content. Keep up the good work!
Seeing the old dump truck, make me think of Maximum Over Drive!! 🤟
29:25 Nailed it! I was yelling at my computer screen.
You got it and yes I will agree with you on the shut off plan.
Chris knows how to make battery compartments fit!
Interesting factoid: While they are both owned by the same company and share interchangeable parts, Brockways are only known/marketed as such for the most part East of the Mississippi, but on the West of ol' Man River, they're known by the more common name of Mack Trucks.
Drove many of these exact trucks had them for cement mixers five and a four transmission
