    My grandfather installed the motors in these at the Pontiac plant in the 60’s and 70’s. Such a sweet truck. My dad remembers sitting in them at the family factory tours.

    I grew up working on these old Detroit 2 strokes. The 8v 71 and 92 series. We had an old terex loader with the 12v-92. Always a fun time when they sit for a while and the rack sticks wide open and they run away. Then you go to reach for the latch that drops the air kill flap and it’s frozen. Keeps you on your toes 😂. Also if the governor isn’t working right it will not let the compressor pump. I’ve gotten those bad outta box more times than I can count. They are adjustable as well. And there is a small fuel pump on the back of motor that’s held on by 3 bolts those get weak and won’t keep the fuel rail pressurized enough for injectors and will cause issues.

    I totally think this was a win! It went from stuck with no air in the brakes and non-running to driving a bit down the road WITH FUNCTIONING BRAKES! That's a win in my book! Would love to see you go back, finish it and drive it home!!! Good luck next time and great job!!!

    I bought my first heavy truck a couple years ago, I'd never worked on them before but had years of experience building cars. Many totally alien systems to me. A lot of things that have potential to be quite dangerous. (The springs in the brake pots will take your head off,) once you get your head around the thing it's not rocket science. Best of luck with it..... cheers from NZ....

    The valve on the compressor is the governor that regulates the air pressure . The old 6-71 sounds awesome , it even has Jakes on it . Y'all will have a great time with the Jakes . The Jakes help in braking , it's like the shut off the injectors .

    Sure some others have already stated this or you have figured this out the hard way- the first thing you need to do or know about the Detroit 2 strokes is to free up the injectors before attempting to start one that’s been sitting a long time- as they will stick open and send it into high rpm’s as soon as it starts.

    That's a transfer/parallel switch by the batteries, it should wire 12 volt to that switch/solenoid & it sendsc24v to the starter only tge rest of the truck is 12v. You can update the starter to a 12v & bypass the transfer switch if you don't want the headache of a transfer switch & 24v starter.

    My guess is the new starter you got was 12 volt and putting the 24 volts to it fried the solenoid. Most trucks that had the start on 24 run on 12 was bypassed long ago. In the end i think it was just running out of fuel
