1973 V12 Powered Peterbilt 352 Cabover - Episode 12 - What a difference a nice rack makes.

- In this video I go through step by step and show you how to set the rack on a big v12. The procedure is the same for any V series Detroit and mostly the same for an inline as well, setting the gap on an inline is different however. A properly set rack will effect smoke output, slobber, heat, sound, everything. Watch as we clean up a lot of the smoke from this old v12.

I always loved how working on 71 series was almost the same from N series to V series. 4- 6-8 and 12. I miss those day's when I could fix my own truck without a computer/laptop and scanner. Nice work.
Thanks Wayno! Really enjoying going back through the older videos. Wish i had found you a few years ago. 🍻
For some one that learns to drive on a cab over 12V71 what your doing is just the best thing with this pice of history. People think it sound cool have absolutely no ida how cool they sounded on damp night in the fall when the air temp is 40 pulling hard with 100,000 on deck on a twisty hilly road there nothing like it. Theses were the first long life motors the trucking industry hade back then. Theses motors never worked hard on the NY state Turnpike grossing 80,000. It was like you hade 1/2 a lode on. Most motors got 350,000 mills were needing a inframe back then. The 12V71 in are fleet were good for 600,000 or more but most hade a oil leak or to LOL I hope you keep up the good work and when you get it dun you get a chance to put a heavy load behind it there nothing like it the truck world. It somethings you will remember for as long as you live. Yes to days trucks get better fuel economy and pull better and last longer. But there sound in the world like working a buzzin dozen hard.
Setting those injectors "almost" looks easy on time lapse but has got to be a tedious and meticulous job in real time...nicely done!
That Pete has an old screen door panel for a grille lmao....that's awesome
Thank you for bringing back some great memories of the.old jimmies keep on with up dates
Gorgeous piece of history. Congrats on such a beautiful truck!!!! 👍
Interesting details on setting the rack.
Sounds great
I find this relaxing n inspiring. No, I'm not setting injector racks but I did a quick tune up on my lawn mower n it's running n cutting like a champ! Thanks bro.
Next up? Assembling the rear brakes on my 83 cj7 mini resto project.
Awesome video man i really enjoyed your content great job i know it's a long hard road when your restoring older vehicles take care
God bless you and stay safe out there 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
Wow, it starts up so nicely. I'd say it's definitely a keeper.
Excellent video and you did a great job with showing us everything that you were blindly trying to show. The buzzin dozen is really sounding like a smooth buzzin dozen now!
Buffer screw made a big difference. Keep up the great videos.
The beast sounds sweet! A loyal old girl. Love that old iron.
Damn! That V 12 sounds damn good! Nothing like a Detroit Diesel!
The Beaut is BAck! Said before I'll say it again... love this Truck... Rock'n the V12 conent! NOICE!!
Man oh man that is a sweet sound. Got my eye on a GMC cracker box with a 6-71 in it, wish me luck. Truck hasn't run in 10 years but spins over just fine.🤘🤘
If you get stuck just holler!
@@Ol2Stroker Will do👍👍
Good for you preserving some true Americana
Just great. And wow does she sound smooth.
Always appreciate a well set rack.
Thank u for your hard work .Keep the videos coming.Im trucker.Like seeing these older rigs..
I'm a trucker..
Fine job man! You had that ole girl purring 😎🇺🇸
She sounds so much better after you adjusted the injectors and alot less smoke. Nice video
Hey thanks for showing this , I’ve got two dozers with 8v71 engines and a ts14 with a couple of 471 Detroit engines will check them out now . Cheers from New Zealand
Interesting how adjusting the racks and a couple other adjustments really smoothed out the idle and less smoke from the exhaust.. Love the sound of exhaust it'll be even more interesting when you can drive it. Great video can't wait for the next one.
Hopefully he doesn’t give it big ol 6in straight pipes... it sounds so nice with the stock boys
Definitely won't.
@@Ol2Stroker where can I buy the wedge tool?
@@AcesUpOffroad found mine on eBay.
@@Ol2Stroker thanks man, I’m going to be tuning my 73 cabover 8v71t sometime. I followed you on Instagram, I might have some questions for you. Thanks for posting videos 👍
Has you say frigging "awesome" love that V12 sound.
Sweet Wayne. Sounds smooth 👌
Love that v12 pete good luck buddy
The screen door decoration on the grill looks Okie!
OH yea baby that motor sounds sweet as. Good work bro
Sounds outstanding factory fresh
That is one bad old ride love it 👍
Great video I’ll keep following
Nice incantation!

Watch!
does sound very good, esp since it sat all them years.
Sweet she is back and sounding better every time you fire her up. First is that dipstick got a crease in it or just a mild bend Second popping those cans off the stack took me back to when I was a kid and Dad would tell me to go fire up the ol girl. Thanks for another great vid
She's creased fo sho!
So my buddy who has the Hatteras boat with the 12v71 Engines has finally started the engine repair process. He found his old school Detroit mechanic who specializes in Detroit's. He works on a lot of industrial engines or has over the 40 year carrier and he said on one tugboat he worked on the captain complained of excessive oil usage. Well he went out to check on it and service it and found that one of the rods had come out the side of the engine block but it was still operating as if nothing was wrong with it. He said these 71 series engines are some of the best engines ever built in the world because they are so tough and durable. Its why the military used them for so many years too.
He's 100% correct
America was build on 2-stroke Detroit Diesel power. There isn’t an engine made that can scream Merica louder than Detroit. At least the pre-Mercedes ones anyway.
Excellent work
Yup she is already better than ol Mossy who needs ether to start most of the time.
Then again this is a Non Turbo 71... Where ol Mossy Turbo'd 92.
Great work on this COEWIP...
And im adding this vid to my favorites just in case i need it in the future.
Thanks and Greetz from The Netherlands

Great job tuning on the old girl! She sounds sweet! I drove a cabin over Pete double bunk like this one, back in the late 70's, early 80's, only it had a KTA-600 Cummins in it! Awesome truck, ran out of Phoenix to Yuma and the west coast, hauling produce to Borman's Market, Detroit, and back every week! Old girl rode like a Cadillac and never slowed climbing any mountain out West!
I'd really like a kt some day
Great job
Sure runs sweet now.:) Very nice.:) I hope you do a drive video, would love to hear it run through the gears.
You know that's where we're going
I think the reason GM wants you to do both racks independently is to avoid the adjustment of one rack influencing the other rack. So set them up separately and then hook them back up. I suppose there will also be a balancing adjustment between the 2 banks.
She runs smooth. It must make a glorious sound when going up a mountain pass with a fully loaded trailer.
Check out the sound of a 12V71TA.
Type in " Seattle Star ⭐ climbing Mt Ousley" unbelievable power. Cheers from Australia.
Nice job! Like you said, night and day difference! Hope you'll do the same on setting the Injector height at least. Always wanted to see it done.
I can for sure. I checked em and they were close but im most likely going to put injectors in it.
Good job bro I love itt
Sounds so much better
Nice job 🙂👍
The noise makes me feel young again lol
Good job.👍👍👍👍
Gotta love the sound of a detroit
That is how its done
Looking good
Happy to see it looks like the TH-cam algorithm has picked this up! Twice as many views as the last few vids
I should say twice as many as the old ones! The last one has 26k!? Holy cow dude! Old Bertha!
Definitely need to get in front of more people!
Nice n good info to know , as scarce as they are getting might be helpful or knowledgeable to aid with another one .
Great as always!! I tried sending some pictures from the Brockway show of the more interesting stuff to you via email a little bit ago but it was fighting me with file sizes, let me know if they don’t come through I’ll render them on the computer and reduce the size.
Nah i got them bro thank you! I hit you back.
Good deal man, there’s some really clean 300 series cabs in there I thought might give you a few ideas.
i was so psyched too see no smoke.man what an awesome series.as u were vidng i couldnt believe i saw 2 blowers.so i think lookin at the fitment the 1st blower does the front 6 cylinders and the rear blower takes care of the bk 6 ?? i played with 672 dyers blower bk in the eighties loved the whine. your learningzzzzzz me a lot.
So it's probably been there before but I juuuust seen it I love the front porch grill lmfao 😂
Great video!
I’d love to know what that rack rod looks like without t the injector advance levers on it.
How can two screw hold that pin in on a circular rod?
It has a square slot where the screws go
Damn that v12 engine sounds awesome and congrats with the 10,000 subs
Pretty pumped!! Thanks
Never doubt the dip stick, how heavy long it is,lol
Fsc speed Steve needs some pointers on the v12 Detroit he just bought reach out to him if you have not already please and thank you love your shit bud
We've been chatting
Amazing that the non turbo 12V-71N puts out 476hp @ 2,100rpm and torque is 1,222lb/ft @ 1,600rpm. Compared to present day, low power.
Keep them shutter working. I remember my pop had casper the ghost painted on his shutters. On his Brockway
Hahaha Bryan that is cool as hell!
Love the work done so far, great you are sorting the mechanicals first, cant wait to see you start the cosmetics.
what are your plans for it?
Just get it back on the road and show it as a survivor for now.
@@Ol2Stroker kool I get that, although it would be nice to see a full resto on it, same paint patterns but with black base coat with grey stripes and gold piping, she would look badass like that
Time for a new one
Some times the buffer screw has to be readjusted to make a jake micro switch work correctly (instant plunger instead of slow/delay >>> jake shifting on steep hills the buffer plunger has to be on the cutting edge>> instant on a detroit like these) , some times a little drift helps pulling out with a heavy load on hills especially , if you turn her over backwards you only have 2 forward gears low and high reverse 3 if you split LOLOL (seriously>> emergency stop immidately and may have to put in gear an use clutch to kill it , just do it PDQ ! ) . We use to set a 671 to pump off on 2400 the engine starts its climb a little easier an stronger . A 671 is suppose to use a quart of oil in 8 hours , slobber tubes an all , the 12V should use a little more . The last 671 I drove was 250HP c65 and advanced cam timing ,this type engine here . The 350 an 400 cummins will haul 40 ton of coal no problem , the 800 mack 65 rears large off road coal will haul 45-50 ton 300 or 350 mack with a 13 speed perfect set up , the large long coal bed on an old cline/isco about 60+ ton automatic with retarder some manual , the older r35 euclids were a wickid sounding 12v no muffler the pipe goes up into the dump body to heat the dump body had 2 single bug eye head lights . Dont listen to old men like me we dont know nothing .......
It’s Detroit of course it’s a good motor 👏
Once again being meticulous pays off. Just curious if the block drains are clear for the blower box. Personally have only seen them on in line engine's not sure on a "v". Just in case a mud dobber made a nest.
They are indeed it spits pretty good lol
I need to do mine, it runs really good but I bet it’s off.
Don't mean to complain but what's with the curly cue thing on the front over the radiator? Was that on the original build cause it looks kind of weird IMHO.
When you run the rack. Aren’t you supposed to set the injector plunger height. Or does that take place when setting the valve lash???
You do that when you do the valves
Where did you learn to do all this? Brilliant to watch !
Self taught
Great work, can you show how you disconnected opposite side rack, thanks,🐨
U just pull the clevis pin
What's the horsepower and what size injectors are in that 12 cylinder but it sounds great
475hp brown tag n65s
You are doing it right , the exhaust looking good and it sounding good , V8s You do the same ,
Back in the late eighties I had a 1971 cab over freightshaker with a V8 detroit ,
what I done pulled the engine out of the truck stripped her down and I took all of the 3 peice pistons out and what I done I put cross Head pistons in it , they are Turbo pistons They are a one piece piston , what I done made me a 400 out of a 318 , Mann that bitch pulled good , I ran it for 2 years , Sold the truck got back into the Cummins Engines , You can do a lot with them for power , When I was a kid I would take the small boar 262 Cummins and what I would do is put 335 kits in them and make a small Cam 335 and they were bad ass when you was done , They would throw 2 feet of fire out of the straight stack Shifting gears , But you definitely had to watch your Pyro In the mountains ,
Be safe take care yourself
The buzzin dozen. Lol
If I could hit the fucken like button twice, I would!
I'm in love with that engine and its exhaust note 💕🇺🇸💪
Are you going to turbo it?
I haven't decided. Probably not because i would have to change a lot of things on the truck to do it.
. I was curious... That beast seems to have a lot of power as it sits. Forgive me if I've missed it, but what transmission is in it?

@@Ol2Stroker nice! My favorite is an 18. Makes hills disappear 💪
I was never a mechanic, but owned Many trucks. Among them my favorite was a COE/Pete with a 12v92 and Fuller 13 speed. I also owned a another COE/Pete with a KT650 with a 13 speed. I know very little about the Cummins KT engine though? I understand there were three models , 450, 550, and the 650.are you familiar with these and can you tell me anything about them? Thanks in advance. I enjoy your videos they are very educational. I’m 83 bye the way, so all my experience is from years ago. Best wishes from the left coast.
Hey Duke yea the coe pete you had must've been a 12v71 or an 8v92 as they never did 12v92s for road use. The KT cummins were badass back in the day and yes 3 ratings of 450, 525, and 600. Id love to own and drive a 600 some day!
It's ok if she smokes when she drinks Bud👌🏻🤘🏻 its Big Bertha after all.
rack n roll.
😎👍
Gotta get rid of those mufflers straight pipe that puppy
Bus Grease Monkey is another TH-camr that loves 2-stroke Detroits and appears to have a faithful following of owners whose rigs he's straightened out. I've no idea if what he does is the correct way or not and I'm not implying at all that you do anything wrong, I just know that it's impossible to have too much knowledge and camaraderie is a good thing. I'm positive that there are some commercial marine guys out there that know their shyt, they are probably the last of those who "trained under" the older timers when these DD's were "everywhere".
Nothing more, nothing less and I have no hidden agenda, motive, experience, or connection. ;)
The day i stop learning i will be dead 😁
It definitely sounded different from b4
Blue smoke?
Make sure the pins loose on both sides before u started it on it may take off
low fuel pressure or a leak the engine hunts when first started.
Where you located at
Broadalbin NY
Sounds like you may need to drop pan and change the oil reguater
What happen to jake brakes??
Truck never had em.
That engine doesn’t even make a full revolution before it starts
👌👌
hahaha the youtube subtitle option says [music] when the engine is turning on 25:57
even the youtube IA recognizes the detroit diesel soud as music
The lube tube knows whats up!!!
That screen door decor on the radiator is such an eye sore.
I know. So's the grill itself it's rusty af
Love the channel and love the cab over but u got to get rid of that screen door thing off the front of the the truck
Fukin a bud shmoov
Gap setting is 0.0015
This helps give me confidence to try it on my 6v92 . Great video, love the detail. Sure I skipped around some, but I can go back and re watch or watch more.
Take those big mufflers off so we can hear it roar
Once a Diesel is fired up they need a bit of stick so stop ponsing around its running perfect.
