*This video would still be recording to this day if that damaged radiator full of water didn't let go. Detroit Diesel for the win.*
Yeah that was a well built motor. I wish they still made them like that.
Nah, probably would have still ran out of fuel.
@@robertwright4336 they wouldn’t make money off of us working class if they did. They figured that out quick but at least we got some old jewels out of it.
That old engine did not want to die. I believe it had a lot of life left in it based on how long it ran like that.
And how quick it started and how well it idled. Kinda sad.
Absolute waste if you ask me.
@@Super-225 i couldn't listen to that part of the video. they don't make engines like this anymore. if the engine was okay he could've used it in a project or something or soled it and maybe made a bit of money off it.
@@anniemooney6601 Those were my thoughts exactly. That engine practically sounded like it was brand new. That engine could have been rebuilt into a custom engine or cleaned and restored to factory condition and sold for good money.
There's not very many more of those left anymore and there are tons of detroit enthusiasts who who pay top dollar for one of those in good condition.
Honestly, I could care less if he blew the thing up if the block was cracked, ran on 5 out of 8 cylinders and it was unsalvageable, but thats wasnt the case. That engine was in good shape.
@@Super-225 it actually makes me kinda sad tbh
This actually was educational. I have 2 871s naturals in my boat and now I have more confidence in them so long as my oil pressure and temp gauge works. Thank You. This was not a waste.
Tollycraft??
Peace of mind is worth a lot!
These things have to be burned at the stake before they give up. Whatever boat you got those in, i would say you should be prepared to pull the motors. Because the hull will die before the engines.
There’s no “natural” 2 stroke detroits, they’ve all got blowers
@@rodneybarnett9667 no turbo charger I thought?
If this "destructive stress test" proves anything, it's that those old Detroits are solid engines.
Not really they couldn't even make a million miles before rebuild, blame liners would crack before half that while guzzling more fuel than any other diesel that makes the same if not more power that has more longevity. They aren't worth the hassle of working on, fuel rack sticks and it's done.
@@PatrickBaptist and that's one opinion. Personally, I think they are one of the best engine designs on the planet. We have put millions of miles on these things, and still have one in our firetruck in town. Damn good engines!!
@@KBS117 We all like what we like.
@@PatrickBaptist I agree. Detroit 2 strokes are nice, but they aint no series 60s, n14s or 3406/8s
@@billyboots3730 Yup, who thou sayest.
Rebuild cost for them just makes it not worth it compared to what it costs to rebuild other brands that also aren't fuel toilets or atleast as bad.
Remember with a 2 stroke there are twice the fireing events as a 4 stroke so they can't be made to be efficient. Lug one down and it's super easy to ruin it in a short span.... No they don't last forever, they can be too easily ruined. Oil bath filters....
That's sad, if it took that long to destroy the engine I could imagine it had a ton more life left in it. What a waste.
Took the words out of my mouth..
@33Ddg209Ret7 only place emission laws would apply to that engine are California
@@kw900lkevin yep theres a good amount of old 2 strokers still working in pa that i know of and tons of them get fixed up by guys that just own them as toys and take them to shows
@33Ddg209Ret7 why do you keep making stupisd ass uneducated comments on this page. My peterbilt has an old ass cat motor in it with no emissions. Its registered and insured and i make 180 thousand dollars a year with it. Where do you come up with this crap spreading false info.
@@mikegrazio5376 I was thinking the same. I've never heard of any state near me banning the use of 2 stroke Detroit's. Hell we don't even have emissions in my state. The only state I could see an issue with would be California but we are talking about people who banned plastic straws and everything even air can cause cancer.
A year later, I just heard a 5 minute long hummmm in the sky. That sound must be still traveling around the world.

Yeee
Considering it's age and how long it sat, I'm thoroughly impressed it ran at WOT for that long.
Does WOT stand for wide open throttle?
@@lowNslow1999 yes it does
Hey, it's old school and a Detroit. As long as there's compression and fuel, it'll run
@@hoost3056 and oil but those leaked oil bad! I knew a sales man that had a picture of a 2 stoke Detroit in his office and he keep a bucket underneath the the picture.
It’s not WOT it’s “wide glide”
I bet that engine under normal use would have lasted forever.
at a top speed of 25mph
@@racer98 it sould still work as a generator
Some people have a hatred for 2 strokes, not me i love torturing a 4 stroke
Wow, so many uniformed armchair opinions, and 99% have never even heard one run in real life.. those engines moved America, they built America, they were the workforce that made life easier. They were in everything, trains, buses, trucks, construction, powerplants, farm, .... they deserve more respect..
I was raised on these engines, and still have a 6v-92ddec, in a running vehicle... The 8v71 with a turbo, could do 500 horsepower, all day long.. wide open, 2450 rpm at 500 ponies, all day long..they do it in boats every day.. emissions limit the power on land... Just for fun, Google these engines horsepower ratings, under military use.. fuel milage? Really? At 40 tons, nothing above 55mph gets any fuel milage... 5 mpg is not fuel milage.. the turbo, is the trick to these engines, the latter ones, disengaged the blower, when the turbo spooled up, freeing up 100 horsepower, and about 20% better fuel milage.
But guys, you are all 3 or 4 dollar a gallon for fuel, junkies.. back in our day, it was 17 cents a gallon.. no one, but a sissy, even mentioned fuel milage... No one cared...
@Eat This okay i like more european engines so i dont know about those engines very much
I never though I would see a man running away from a run away diesel engine!
A diesel is either gonna go or blow and majority of the time it blows
@@dirtbikemike7815 I can confirm. I either go peacefully or just fucking blow to shit

The EPA wants to know your location.
I think every old Detroit lover died a little watching this video 😂
Nah, we just hit dislike...
Yes I did I have 3 at home right now
Tommy Teske why did he let it blow up? I don’t get it
Deborah chesser stuck open. Seen several of these videos but usually it's the turbo charger messed up, this doesn't have one.
Deborah chesser I had to watch this again, apparently it just sat around for years and years.
I wasn't surprised that it took that long. Back in the eighties I used to rebuild those engines. They were a sweet running engine oh, that one and the 6V 71. Those and the 855 Cummins were my favorite engines to work on. Naturally aspirated it isn't quite correct. Those old Detroit's had blowers on them plus a turbo. Almost brings a tear to my eye to watch you blow one up on purpose. In the shop we had a piece of plywood always at hand whenever we started up one of those Detroit's after a rebuild, ready to stick it over the turbo inlet, close off the air supply, just in case that thing started to go. They were such high revving engines that I think you could make a good race truck with one of them old Detroit's
Yeah it looked like a twin scroll super charger on top there.
@@DroneMee where do you think that 671 and 871 blowers originally came from? 😂
@@PlmbrProtctsTheNtion not sure what you mean in context to my comment. I was just agreeing that I thought I observed a supercharger as well. Relevant to the comment in the video about the engine being naturally aspirated.
It is naturally aspirated, and that's a blower not a supercharger. It's naturally aspirated because it's required for the engine to run. It only is a supercharger on gas engines or engines that don't need them to run. Hence super charging them
Naturally-aspirated means the engine injests intake air at atmospheric pressure. Turbocharged and supercharged engines use the devices to pressurize the intake air, to increase engine power by providing more mass of air, which can then allow the engine to burn more fuel and make more power from the same engine displacement.

Tough to watch, I grew up riding with my Dad hauling rock in a truck just like this. 10” straights on that old Detroit. When you fired it up for the first time, it brought back some good memories. Too bad everyone doesn’t have the same appreciation for things. Thanks for the vid, Dad’s been gone 13 yrs, it oddly gave me a little closure watching that truck die.
Weird but cool bruh.

@@johnmorgan9500 if the truck felt a single thing it was just happy to get 'used to death' in this educational way

Wait, this video killed your dad? Did he time travel or something???
Man that thing ran like a top, probably had another million miles inner
No way a Jimmy will make a million more miles if it's got miles in it already.
@@wyattlarrick3246 sounded pretty good. Could have been used for something.
@@DirtReborn It already is, filling a scrapyard.
Guys like me buy them engines and swap em into all kinds of shit, what a shame to see another young one go ..
That's what I thought
I have always wondered what experiencing a runaway would be like. As intense as just watching your video was, I think having a runaway would be extremely intense. Thanks for publishing this video.👍
What's so fucking funny dillweed
Hm, as a foreigner I'm unsure of what runaway really means, but I assume it's a point where for some reason you can't stop the engine from going full RPM, right? When I was young I crashed my Oldmobile Bravada, think it had a 4,7 L V6. It was only mildly damaged in the front and was still running fine, so I drove home after the crash. I was kind of horrified when I left the highway where I had floored the gas (the only way to get that old tank moving) and the engine kept going full throttle even though I lifted my foot of the gas pedal. I pushed on the brakes which slowed me down somewhat, but the engine still kept pushing. I hammered the gas pedal a couple times and got whatever was stuck unstuck and the engine returned to normal...but that was quite the additional adrenelin kick, as if I hadn't had enough that night already...
@@moos5221 glad you're ok
You gotta love 2 stroke Detroit’s, when they’re at 4200 rpm they sound like they’re running at 8200 rpm. You gotta love it
The fact that it fired right up was reason enough to let it live. You just earned some bad karma dude.
At the amount he ranked up i wouldnt be suprised if he broke both his knees
Using the term "True Professionals"is the fartheset thing that comes to mind when it comes to describing you and your friend!
True imbecile is more like it.
This guy is a clown.
That's just crazy! A well built engine for sure.
Detroit tough.🚛🇺🇸
My grandfather used an 8 cylinder Detroit to haul material all over the western United States from the 1920s until the 1960s, all of the trucks he owned were two strokes, he swore by them and loved them till the day he died in 1985 he would roll over in his grave if he knew this happened to this truck.
Yes, he would. Definitely he would.
This is so sad....🥺😥😰
Are you sure Detroit Diesel engines were a thing in the 1920s? I am going to be honest but I thought they started making them in 1938 but there is part of their history in the 20s I think according to a website I was on.
DETROIT: our engines don't run away, the mechanics do
Luke Becker LoL, he acted like it was C-4 or some shit.
I once ran up and helped a guy trying to stop a run away 16cyl huge gen set. We got her choked off finally. Scary chit with that knock that pounds you in chest.
Mechanics run like the scared little girls they are.
12:50 d tech just kicked in lol
Luke
He ran like a bitch too
wow that ol detroit would've ran another 400,000 miles
Dave Micolichek bro wtf is up with you an that cookie. Every comment I saw from you “here...🍪” you look stupid sayin the same shit every comment. But I’m sure you bouta tell me the same thing
@Dave Micolichek oh shut the fuck up who cares
Dave Micolichek Nope, Diesel is actually cleaner than gas.
They are junk, hog way too much fuel having to have 2 times the firing events per rev that a 4 stroke does....
🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 here's some for ya all
Love the old external combustion engines
😅🤣😂
*Internal* combustion engines dude.
All these Detroit people pissed off but probably don’t even own one😂
Yeah just a machine. I have a 66 Chevy C30 that I custom fitted a Detroit 6v53. Watching them die though, It's pretty fucking cool :D
So you must own something to appreciate something. Got it.
Or worked on a truck and have no idea what it would take to get this thing road worthy. Dim dim dim...
That 8V71 deserved a better fate. Listen to it. It sounded so healthy.
To bad none of you 8v71 fanboiz bought it before him then.
He rebuilt it after
Yeah, it sounded healthy, but the 8v71 has terrible fuel economy and it only has about 300 hp. I have a ram 1500 with 400 hp
I C4 he didn’t rebuild it
Torque/weight ratio is what it was designed after
I would say this is a fine example of somebody not appreciating the value of what they have in their possession
@Dave Micolichek those are the best engines, the ones that pollute
@Dave Micolichek lol I bet dealers work on your junk
@Dave Micolichek actually in desiel tech, we are not WAY past it. We have more complexity and less reliability with more cost. All for the "climate change" but no one factors in the extra bs emitted to fix these systems when the go belly up. I drive a desiel for a living with over a million miles under my belt, the more complex, the more I'm on the side of the highway, close to once per month on average, 9 out of 10 times its emission controls. The only thing that has "advanced" is emission controls and high pressure fuel delivery causing more trouble than it's worth by a LONG shot. There is no such thing as a free lunch, guys are now pulling frames from junkyards and building trucks from scratch just to stay away from the "advancements".
@Dave Micolichek
That's not true, with a glider kit many are using N-14 Cummins, or 60 series Detroit's
With out all the stupid exhaust junk
@Dave Micolichek The pollutant is you. Youre stinking up this thread and polluting the atmosphere with your bullshit.
Shut up and stop breathing you idiot.
DAMN. for it supposedly being 12 years, that started faster then a electric car.
Detroit: If it'll turnover, it'll start.
@@heatherroseisrflyer same with a ford They will forever give you constant shit, but no matter how bad they can be, if the engine starts, it will run like a champ. IF it starts.
I ran a small Detroit for years in the logging woods out here. Always spitting oil everywhere noisy as can be but just dump the water out of the fuel filters every so often and it just kept running and running. Had it run backwards a couple times but not for long and no damage

I worked o a few 6V an 8V series Detroit engines in my 50 years as a fleet mechanic, from head replacements to total overhauls, in frame and out. The BIGGEST fear I had was having a run-away engine during the first start-up's. Thank goodness it never happened.
JUst need to make sure the governor gap is correct and the buffer is set right as well.
Nice engine, I would like to have it, lots of people don't like the old DD diesels but they powered a lot of things over the years. I would say the past deserves some respect, they were around long before most of us were born!
D day landing craft
@George Simple, he couldn't do that because the engine was obviously destroyed in the video.

Exactly. THat was NOT a runaway, more like a throw away & it did not want to die.
6:36 "Got some vice grips on that rack down there just in case this SOB tries to get away from me." lmao😂
That was a tough little engine!! Love the video!!
I would of pulled the engine and scrapped the rest. That motor would of been good to drop into a tractor or some other fun project. I love the sound of 2-stroke Detroits
Not to mention all the good parts on it that are getting very hard to find. This was a good motor that this guy ruined for no reason.
@@austinr09 I know that was a waste or as my dad would say sacrilege. If had that truck and soon as I got the motor running and knowing it runs good I would of drained the fluids out then got a hoist pulled the motor out and loaded it into a trailer and took it home. I then would clean it up and repaint and restore it and find something whether it be a tractor or truck to put then engine into. Oh and while I am at it I would throw on a pair of turbochargers too.
Heck if i could find an IH 1066 with no motor and drop this 8V71 into it after its been souped with with header and twin turbos

This thing was apparently going to the scrapyard...
This was scrap metal from the start, no one was going to use this on the street, neither could they, because of emission regulations.
The engine is worth 4500
@@dillonrumley3295 it's useless
Could’ve done something better with it instead of Rev the nuts out of it until the cooler is on the blink and then the engine turns into a fire ball.....
Seemed like a perfectly good motor to me. I would have junked the truck and kept the motor
That engine didn't "run away", it was just held wide open til she blew. It wouldn't have lasted that long, and would have had more RPM'S if that were the case. I'd say it was a pretty good engine to go as long as it did.
Wide open and with the fan disconnected too.
I was going to say the same thing I'm a 15 year old mechanic and I think this is a shame I would have loved to get my hands on that truck
You should have saved the motor, and scraped the rest, people are looking for 8v71's all the time..
I agree, there is a growing community of people trying to resurrect these old trucks, and a perfectly usable engine gets destroyed. what a shame
I agree if they really didnt want to resurrect the truck then pass it to someone that does or even someone wanting a project like ive been wanting one to make into a pickup
@@byrontaylor9235 that I would actually love to see, think it would look pretty cool.
I think it was a waste to trash the engine. Why for some sadistic self gratification? People would have bought that engine. So you waste time and money??? That’s not very intelligent.
I would have paid you good money for the motor and trans. There's a growing group of people looking for a good 8V71... Oh well at least bbn you made $10. Off TH-cam. Lmao
As far as I know, one could still sell an 8V71 Detroit. People actually still use them.
However, now it's just demolished beyond repair for 8 min of fun.
11:00 "I don't think I want to be all the way in here".... When you said that I was thinking that you were being a little over-cautious. When that thing started though... holy shit, you knew what you were talking about!
This is a true testament to the wonderful engineering of these fine machines.
The only thing wrong with that truck was the owners who couldn't fix two small repairs and the knuckle heads who blew it up twelve years later.

And you making jokes about it
Man, I'm impressed. It basically had such high EGT's combined with no cooling, it melted itself from the inside out. If the cooling system had been functional, I think it might have run until it was out of fuel...
Yeah you can see where the oil finally boiled over and overflowed, which then starved the bearings and seized it up.
Honestly that was one hell of a runner. I had no idea a Detroit Diesel could run flat out like that, and with no cooling to boot... impressive!!
spot on. I'm amazed it didn't blow long before it did

STREET RACER It ran for eight minutes withy the governor disabled and spitting in as much fuel as possible. Do you even understand then strains that engine was under?if it was run under normal conditions it would have lived for ages!
STREET RACER It wasn’t just the governor. The producer of this video also opened up fully the fuel rails, the equivalent of just putting it in neutral and putting a brick on the accelerator. Treating any engine, old or new like this with always end up with failure. I’m surprised the engine lasted this long, in fact. The producer also started the engine without problems, further disproving your point about the engine being a “POS”.

And to think how many classic old trucks, older yachts and sport fishing boats, commercial fishing/crabbing boats, even larger generators coulda used that engine which appeared to be very good internally after sitting 10 years or so, it didn't smoke so the rings were evidently not stuck, it woulda been a great replacement for any of the aforementioned categories for a failed one with a spun bearing or something. But not now. I don't get destruction of perfectly good things but there's plenty of it of all shapes and sizes on TH-cam. I'll never understand it.
Classic? Beautiful? O god you watch way to many Disney movie
Heavy hauling Idaho This is a very interesting phenomenom indeed. Kind of reminds me of those young liberal kids screeching on the streets about some normal stuff that they dont like
453T backed by an Eaton/Fuller 6 speed swapped into a 4th generation C/K 3500 crew cab dually.
That right there is my dream build if this economy ever recovers.
Long live the Screamin Jimmy’s 🤘🏼
I get a kick out of videos man, good job. In the 80s i was a wrench on over the road tractors. I had a Foreman that took me under his wing. Ive learned alot from him. One being, mastering adjusting the rack. We had one run away and my foreman stood there calmly as he calmly said, get me a board. Always had a board laying around. Those who ever experienced one gettin away, not to mention inside a shop. The sound is almost horrifying.
All in all, i still love to hear a Detroit with the blowers.
Those were the days.
Why does this hurt my heart... ? So sad to see this happen..
Das coz u stupid bruch. Not ur fault tho. Or is it?
The Bus Grease Monkey just felt a huge disruption in The Force.
SO DID I.
LOL
The forces disruption lead me here now to never come back
@@devildog8016 I'm sure you would much prefer Ellen Degenerate or some prius style content.
This is a good channel, we won't miss your kind.
@@PatrickBaptist God forsakes anyone who destroys a Detroit. He also asked me to bring the whip and and ball gag for heathens.
That should be a required video for diesel mechanic classes. It lasted a long time but when it went it went fast. I wouldn’t want to be the person trying to shut it down. It’s not just Detroit’s either. We had a Cummins runaway when I worked the ice road.
Every time I see this video it makes me think of that Garth Brooks song where it says that old diesel engine made an eerie sound when Papa fired it up and headed into town LMAO great video
Well, wasting food would have been worse, I guess. Seems like a perfectly functional 871 would have been worth something to someone. Even giving it away to someone who was able/willing to pull it from the truck would have been preferable, but that's just me.
It would have sat here until the end of time waiting for somebody to pull it out of that truck.
@@KT3406E nah. I dont where you live but if it was free I would've come for it.
@@KT3406E if I would have known about it I would have got it
@@codeman6998 Go find you one and buy it then lol. There's tens of thousands of these left out there.
@@jdlawless_fuel1416 Sureeeeeeeeeee.
Why blow up a perfectly good engine? Makes no sense.
Ask Obama and his cash for clunkers b.s.
@Dave Mitchell Who cares, low power and high quality parts= long life. I have a John Deere 410D and back 45 years ago, it made 70hp and somewhere in the high 100's for torque. It's at 9887 hours on the tach (Which is original) and hasn't needed a rebuild yet. It probably makes something in the low 100's for torque and probably about 30hp, but it still runs great.
It's power to weight ratio isn't great (it's naturally aspirated), it's good on fuel and it's really really loud, but that doesn't matter because it's tough and dependable, unlike today's modern crap.
@@wyattlarrick3246 how useful is it when you can't find shit for it? Try finding parts. Try setting the rack. If he did that to series 60 I'd be pissed but 8 71 are the worst dd motor ever
answer is in his profile pic he prefers pussy engines
Any idea how many “perfectly good engines” get crushed every single day? And you’re worried about his one just because it was on video.
These are awesome videos keep posting them
That's why those engines are STILL running the roads and on the seas.they are tuff as a bag of hammers. I seen 8-92's and 8-71's with over 74,000 hours.with no type of rebuilding.just oil/fuel filter changes. they are rated 60k when new in 80's.(8-92) but 71 and 92 are the same engine other than bore size, injector pump out put,etc. Im sure someone out there has had one with over 100k weather it be 71's.92's.53's or maybe 149's.these numbers are displacement of one cylinder.. Great video.thanks
I just don’t get this current trend where people have to destroy things and then show their efforts to the world, with pride.
Must be getting old I guess.
Oh no, you aren't getting old. A certain group of people are simply beneath stupid, as are the few fellow idiots you like such stupidity.
No. I think both of you are past your bed time. This is great content.
@@lop8828 i agree
Have a plan. That's if you consider a problem arisings in the first place. Oh no you didn't did you!!! What could possibly go wrong.
Just realised at 12:31 his intention (WHAT A TOTAL DICKHEAD) TO MUCH MONEY AND NO RESPECT SMAME ON HIM. what a waste!!!!
It seems then that old truck will have more life on the road to come then 3 brand new chevy duramax combine lol
I'd take any old screamin' jimmy over 100 dura-shits any day.
I love you Man! Thank you for your donation to people who like watching motors blow up,,, she sure had a good set o rings!
you're happy that he destroyed a perfectly fine engine?
I ENJOY ALL THAT YOU DO . THANKS .
I’d love to have a 8v71 for a ratrod build sad to see this one go
To bad none of you 8v71 fanboiz bought it before him then. Oh well... LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!
go buy one from a scrapyard then

Like putting a bomb under the constitution you will never understand
@@npp3559 I have absolutely know idea what your post means. Care to elaborate? That is, if you know what that long word means...
Flies2FLL wrong guy I meant to respond to the limited guy who responded to your post
Np P Why does it matter if someone breaks their own shit? It’s not yours so
Had a 671 cold start like that in a 56 greyhound! ABout tripped over my own jaw when the under hood switch didnt kill it. Crazy thing was it was a 3 stage rev that kept increasing in rpm, didnt grenade.
I know the 460 in my f250 would of detonated or ran out of fuel long befor this ol girl finally bought the fatm
The most beast of an engine I’ve ever seen
