- Today we button up the bottom end of our GATR race truck 8v92 and get it running for the first time since it last raced in the late 80s, early 90s. This 8v92 twin turbo should be 800+ HP and boy does it sound great. This was a long time coming so crack a beer and enjoy.

I was an engineer on an ATRA truck back in the 80's and we made 1500Hp+ out of a 8v96 @ 3600rpm with 200mm injectors, twin turbo, 148mph @ the end of the straight at Atl.
That's badass! Those Bivens 96s were the real deal I'd love to get my hands on one!
3600 haha wow she's a spinnin 😃👍
my god 3600rpm that's insane.
@@verteup Right!? My Cummins X15 makes 450 HP, 1650 lb ft, but it's out of steam around 1500-1700 RPM...Hell, even my Cummins ISL that made 550 HP and 2050 lb ft wouldn't rev any higher than 2000 RPM. That's screaming for a diesel!
@@Brock_Landers if the Cummins was cranking out 2050 ftlbs of torque at 2000 it was making 780 hp as hp is a function of torque at rpm
Dude, that's sick. I remember watching the GATR series back when I was a kid, so seeing one of these come back to life is awesome. Motor sounds so good, wouldn't think it's been sitting for as long as it has.
"Swamper" I sure did not EVER think that ol' bucket was gonna roar back to life like that! Way to go Wayne-o!
It's amazing old iron never dies...right on...we need a semi race series here in north America
I agree, nice to make it all mechanical motor rule
There is a semi racing series in North America already
Come to Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 we have amazing trucks
You guys really do. Used to go to Notre Dame Du Norde and St Joseph De Beau every year for the uphill races. Now we go to Onaway Michigan.
Hell yeaarrrr
Of all your “junk” this is the one I really want to see bought back to its former racing glory I love it. Great truck and great work so far Wayne 👍😀👊🇬🇧
That thing is the "yoga pants"of trucks. No matter how scary it is on the inside you're just obligated to check it out. Lol
Good thing I'm always drunk and still mentally a child. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now for those yoga pants.... Lol
@Jim jibroni ain't that the truth lol
@@Ol2Stroker idk who invented them but they are a entertainment value lol
Digging the old GATR rig. Gotta give it a classy name. Something from the Era. It reminds me of and old ford truck we had on the farm. We called her Sinclair! That old Louisville never never quit till it just about broke in half! Name her Sinclair!
Keep'em coming buddy! I'm excited to see that thing rolling again.
Been waiting on this!!! So awesome to see it run love the old Detroit's and the old Fords from that era I remember watching that when I was a kid there can't be many of those trucks left gonna be awesome to see it restored. You should make a shirt for merch with it just the way it is lol. Just want to say thank you for saving that truck!! As for a name I think Tetnus would be fitting.
Dang Wayne, that pile sounds incredible! Can’t wait to see it move again!
We love your ability to breach it down to our level! Thank you
Man when u drained tank when u pulled plug I jumped thought I done got soaked lol
Hahaha I got soaked enough for all of us!
Great to hear it running!!! Waiting to see it yard drive now. Keep the vids coming! Thanks!
Glad you finally got it running it sounds Awesome Wayne.
Never get tired of that sound. Great job
Been waiting for this one. GATR was such a cool series and the epitome of cool late late 70's / early 80's. Welcome back Wayne!
SOOOOOO IS THE GATR SERIES BIG RIG RACING STILL AROUND SOME WHERE IN THE U.S.............???? DO THEY HAVE THEIR OWN U-TUBE CHANNEL OR SOME THING TO WAYCH MORE OF THE 80'S & 90'S RACING.......
So good to see you got it running I watched you bring it home video so was very pleased when this popped up 👍👍👍
After that last video I thought I would never see this truck again. So pumped for another video and to see it running. I think Gator should be its name.
I actually searched on old gatr footage to try to spy this relic, put more effort into that than I did homework when in school.
Find anything?
i searched my ass off when the truck first popped up and didn't find it
Hmmmmm.
@@Ol2Stroker i don't think it means anything not finding it, because who know how much footage and from however many series has made it to the internet, maybe a name or the tracks it ran at would narrow it down
@@Ol2Stroker my guess was it was about a 74 cab so I figured probably raced around 84 or so I'm guessing not everyone was filming everything like now days but somebody will recognize it. Youv got a bunch more sucribers since I started so someone's bound to see it now. I mean I recognized the mudflaps on your Pete from the k-whopper dealer in New Hampshire.
GREAT WORK WAYNO never doubted your ability to get this old iron Rocking & Rollin sounds perfect 👏👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆
Awesome Truck!!! Great to see it again and running this time. Put a good roof on it and run it like it is...SUPER bad ass!!!
Every time you fire it off i think of old obsolete sounds , commercial truck's , commercial fishing boats and heavy haul ARMY equipment 👍👍🇺🇸
Man Detroit's sure powered the world didn't they.
Awesome you got it running, I knew you could do it. You sure know your 2 stroke Detroit engines.
You just got to love that old beast! I used to drive a International cab over that had a 8v in it and I loved that old junk 😂
Great Job Wayne, Glad She’s a Runner. Be nice to see it move, might be fun for some donuts. It’s now a Detroit Powered Funhouse.
Call it Gator! I definitely would like to see more of this truck!
Stumpy is a name. First thing that came to mind. I’m excited to see what comes of that truck.
Keep the videos coming awesome
As usual great video man
So sweet that thing runs great
Saw this on cl in florida ages ago, pops up in my suggested today. Small world.
Yup I did too that's how it ended up here!
And it's got a sunroof. That engine sounds beautiful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the name bud!
@@Ol2Stroker 🤣😂🤣 thanks
That's a killer sunroof.
Sounds great! Such a cool truck, it's what brought me to your channel. Hope to see you do lots more to it. Can't wait to see some burnouts!
Wayne hope you an Scott are doing good good luck with the race truck you get it running buddys
Dang, she sounds so good! I would love to wheel that around Bristol on the dirt! We got a runner boys!!!!!
Congrats Wayne on getting the GATR Truck engine running again. Sounds Great Wayne.. lv ur videos. this one is a keeper per sure.
Nice job buddy! Happy you got this pile! I knew it was all you the first time i saw the ad! lol
hell yeah love all the content that truck sounds awesome
That brings back memories. I started out on 653s, 671s, 692s, 871s. The whole family of the 2strokes. Then the series 60. Thanks and keep me running!
Awesome Shawn! Sometimes the memories are the best part. I've got to own a series 60 here at some point.
Hi from uk 👋👍 I cant wait but I guess we have to 😵 lol wish we could put week forward never mind the clocks 😂 thanks bud hope all is well to man sir thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Don't worry there'll be a video tomorrow to hold y'all over!
@@Ol2Stroker 💪get inn👌 thanks 👍
Well you all got it running and it sounds pretty good .
🤗👍💫
Wayne that is absolutely outstanding. Oh what pretty music.
Awesome. Sounds healthy in the higher rpm. Name SMOKIN U UP.
So glad you got a site together man can't wait for Merch
Since it's a Ford and with the motor it has why not call her Louisville Slugger. You can definitely find old cabs and hoods laying around for replacements . If all else fails you should pull the motor and put it into a new truck restoration project. Thanks for the update.
She's gonna love the fresh oil /fuel filters 🙏
Been waiting on this one. Comment about the starter got me.
This is a whole load of utterly awesome!! In the early 90's for too brief a period over this side of the pond a V8 DD (and a few v6's in lower class) was the go to motor for our truck racing top power class. A load of White Road bosses and a Kenny screaming around Brands Hatch etc has left a lasting addiction to that screaming music 🎶 🎶
Yea the Detroit's were untouchable here too
This is just COOL! I can't wait to see this tin in the wind!
Awesome been waiting for this one
Thanks brother!
#19's roof A/C works mighty fine, engine purrs like a kitten - awesome video!
Thanks Rossco!
Incredible find! 👍🤟
No man don’t bring it back to it’s old life. Give it a new one. It has some great bones for a terrific rat rod. Js
She runs really good!
In the Spring a young mans heart turns to thoughts of love>>>>>>>>>> of Detroit diesel race trucks!! Great content, again. Addicted,long time subscriber Definite chubby material! Good work! Name? Brutus, Greta's nightmare
Got the surround sound cranked lets hear that beautiful sound 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Cool beans you got it going can't wait to see more on this one 👍
Thanks Neil. I can't wait to make more on it!
that is amazing, can not wait to see this thing running around the yard
Same. It is KILLING me
That truck is frickin awesome glad you kept it
I'm so happy I decided to revisit it instead of making it a lawn ornament! Thanks man!
I love this truck, well done Wayne! I know is looking very bad, but please consider it fix that cab, i love the way it looks, i would love to see it with the same cab as the original one. Scrap the rusted panels and weld some new ones. This is a big project, but i would love to see it restored and running. Pretty sure it would be crazy. Cheers from Italy.
Always enjoy , keep it up .
Thanks Jeremy!
Love it! Drinkin beers watching the old detroits scream back to life. My first detroit experience was running a kenworth cab over vac truck with a detroit to push it along and then it had a detroit upper for the vac motor. Talk about bein deaf and sleepy by end of shift 🤣.
Love the channel. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Starion that sounds like fun! Glad you're enjoying the channel and the beer!
Man that sounds so good
BIG LOUIE LIVES!! 😁😎🤟🏼 Man, I’ll be following this one like a bloodhound. So jealous 😆
Brother you get a like as soon as the video starts playin.... that truck is sick I love it....
Thanks brother!!! I can use every one I can get!
the pipping for the intercooler with the hard edges instead of really smooth transitions shows how far we've come with turbo configurations. still sounds amazing though.
Gale would have nightmares seeing that pipe...
Nothing better than an ole 2 smoke Detroit 👌💪
I saw this forsake a while back so glad to see someone doing something with it...
I’m trying to remember who drove that #19 truck. I was involved with a couple of pit crews the last few years that GATR ran on the tracks. I sure do miss them racing!!!
Overfueled that's awesome! I'm super jealous I would've loved to have been involved in the series back in the day. #19 here was Hudd Gorham's truck. What was it like getting to be part of the series?
That two stroker sounds really good 👍 👌
That poor truck and strater have seen better days! I can't wait to see this beast up and running !
Me either Larry. I'm dying to drive it!
Awesome truck
Has IR thermometer in one hand, still checks if the turbo is hot with his other hand. Love it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta make sure them newfangled devices are accurate!!
Like the cab sun roof... She sounds wicked.
You know what I call my truck? TRUCK! Cuz thats what it is!
We'll be waiting
Nice work man must feel good to hear the ol gal running after 40 yrs old iron is the best iron that's for sure 👍🏼and she sounds like a beast so bad ass 😀🍺
Back in the 80's we had a modified pulling tractor named Agent Orange thinking about the history of the truck and age it would be a perfect a name for it.
Oh man that is awesome!!!
I can't wait to see Gator do his first burnout! 🧡
This is one cool rig Would love to see and hear her wide open around a track. I’ve just finished rebuilding a 6v92 r in an old white Roadboss and can’t wait to get her screeming. Keep the videos coming I love watching!!!!
Man! A Road Boss with this set up! Now that would be S. I. C. K
Well done sir
Thanks!
Nice job man more videos please
Been holdin' my breath waitin' to hear it . My vote goes to GATR............regardless how you spell it . Finallllllllllllly !
Excellent work 👍 she lives 😁
