I am in the process of buying what I believe is a special truck that you may be interested in. Once the title work is complete she is coming home with me. She is a 1994 F350 4x4 that brand new was sent to Quigley, Inc and had everything from the frame down stripped and had Ford F550 4x4 components installed. The truck is all original and powered by a 7.3 Powerstroke and has 27,300 original miles. I am purchasing the truck for my bee business so I wont have many miles put on it. I do have plans for a few improvements. If you are interested in seeing it, I would be glad to let you see it. Just let me know.

That duck was originally featured in the movie convoy (1978). That duck was made by a fellow who would sell the ducks to hot roders back in the day. The director saw the duck and used it in the movie. Years down the road the son of the craftsman who invented the angry duck, found the original mold and remade the hood ornaments. He even made a miniature one (which I run it on my motorcycle). Unfortunately he fell into some financial issues and he stopped making them. Last thing I knew of him was that he was selling the original “running red indian” mold.

[@guyconnell2250]

I put hundreds of thousands of miles on 8V92s. We called them "250,000 mile hand grenades" LOL. The cracked head deal was common. They got relatively poor mpg, were obviously quick off the line, and were loud. I like the sound of the 2 stroke Detroits. I cut my teeth on a 6-71 in a ready mix truck then moved to the 8V92s at my first over the road job. That company had them "cut back" and subscribed to the whole "fuel squeezer" line from Detroit at the time. They were fairly easy to "turn up" in a rest stop though LOL. The trucks of that company were spring ride cabover Freightliners with aluminum frames (very rough riding) and single sleepers. They had 3.70 rear ends and 13 speeds with no "splitter" hooked up, so, were effectively 9 speeds. Hooking up the "splitter" was also easy to do in a rest stop though. I could climb the east side of Homestake pass in 5th over at 32 mph or so (with the rest stop modifications of course). We were generally home every weekend and we never wanted to get caught with our "splitter" hooked up. So it was kind of a pain to have to uninstall it and reinstall it. I was in my 20s then though and, to me, it was well worth the fun LOL.

[@Rx7man]

Pardon my ignorance, but why were they against the splitter?

[@guyconnell2250]

@@Rx7man Well 3.73 rears with a 13 spd will run right up there for top end in 13th. The Freightliner dealer knew that was not necessarily a great idea in a fleet operation. They also knew that when the trucks were traded in to them they'd have to resell them. And around here, selling a truck with an 8V92 and a nine speed or ten speed at the time would have been difficult as there were few fleets locally that would have bought in to the whole "fuel squeezer" concept.

[@ThePaulv12]

@@arthurlejawka6392 Shifting without splitter must wait longer since the rpm drop is 400. With splitter can shift faster because only 200rpm drop. When using the splitter without crossing the 1-3 or 2-4 gate, I always shift to neutral then back in where I just came from because one time going up a hill (thankfully empty) I just split it from OD to direct in 3rd gear and lazily popped the clutch and it went into no gear. Luckily I had a head of steam up and managed to get it seamlessly into high range second. I learnt my lesson - don't just pop the clutch when using the splitter esp when loaded.

The garage guys bring me a change off I was hoping for a new bus. Nope same series. So as I’m getting the replacement coach setup the mechanic resets the butterfly and starts up the bus. A cloud of black smoke billows out the tail pipe just after Erin Mills on the EB side. It covers both sides all six lanes in complete darkness. Then all of a sudden I look over and you see this pure white Ford econoline RV emerge from the smoke it was hilarious. But yet somewhat scary that a major accident didn’t occur. This was back in 2001. Somethings you will never forget.

[@Cletrac305]

Cool truck! As a drag racer id say slide the axle ahead, lower the tire pressure, install an Allison Automatic, forget about the 2500 redline. That 8v92 silver series (I have one) was used in snow removal equipment and fire pumps with a single turbo at 750 hp. Later versions in the military were rated around 900. A two cycle is always on a compression stroke so they will tolerate much higher rpms without pulling a rod bolt etc. It has a fluid damper on the crank which allows for that 2900 rpm. It would probably wind 4,000. But dont take my word for it. Just past conversations, a few experiences and hooking up with a few NTPA pullers with them (12v71s) . 4,000 wouldn't be pushing a 71series very hard. I THINK a few pulling 12v71s were running 5,000 rpms. But the flywheel and clutch etc better be right. I know of one 8v71 that regularly wrapped the tach around 2x! However, those 92 silver series had "soda shaker" 2piece steel pistons that are heavier. Mabey thats why 71s wind so high??

Fun video to watch. My Son-in-law has a Peterbilt so I forwarded it to him. He should get a kick out of it.

[@tbw357]

He should have talked with Scott from Bus Grease Monkey when he rebuilt the engine.

[@cullenmiller8170]

He does an okay job building stock motors, but he really learned a lot from the guy in Oregon that helped him after his engine dropped the valve. That guy has a race truck and knows the performance side. Also there’s a race team up in Washington that used to run a 16 V 92 in a truck on the Salt flats in Bonneville. Last time I talked to their engine guy they switched to a V16 MTU engine.

That duck is from convoy. Best trucker movie ever.

Never seen a Detroit that didn't leak oil or use oil! Kinda like a Harley, illegal to own if it doesn't leak oil!

[@wintonhudelson2252]

LOL, Harleys and two-stroke Jimmys don't leak oil, they're just marking their territory!

[@JosephArata]

Well, all diesels leak oil, it's just whether or not you've replaced the gaskets with gaskets that aren't paper or cork trash that will leak again in another 200k.

I helped build a 1980s International Transtar 2 cabover. It had hit a trailer in the front and the cab was made of aluminum. I fixed all that and painted it black. Basecoat, clearcoat. Using Imron paint. But it had a 8 V silver 92 in it and a 13 spd trans. My friend showed me how fast they are with bigger injectors and a bigger turbo. He used it to haul one hundred thousand pound loads of steel.

Race car Rich driving that thing a little hard at first lol

[@justins21482]

Man that exhaust note is intoxicating.

[@GenAfterNextTactics]

Rich insist on pronouncing it "Duh-troit" when everyone knows it's pronounced "Dee-troit".

[@Rx7man]

It's Dee-troy-it dammit!

[@davidanderson2393]

Nothing like a singing Detroit to put a smile on your face

[@popwarhomie]

"revving too high" Boooooo. Truck is sweet though.

[@chriso1373]

He had a point about that limiter though. Hittin that is more embarrassing than completely missing a gear.

[@josegerardosanabrialainez2349]

Crazy machine ...the Pete ... Plus Detroit... Dynamite pure...

[@FondelMikeRotch]

Very impracticable, but that makes it so much cooler! Like it alot! Nice!!! And watch the damn tach....

[@mattboswell5392]

This guy is cool. Definitely has the bank roll to support his habits. Just enjoying life, that’s awesome

[@MasonJF]

Convoy, 1978. Hell of a film honestly.

[@donaldconnolly220]

And the acceleration is staggering to most people... It really catches you off-guard...

[@ohboy2118]

Brown and Orange paintwork. My split second reaction to the start of the video was " Do the Welkers know you knicked their truck and are racing it?" Lol

[@richard3141592638]

that's a great sound on start up

[@tomanycooks]

what a cool guy. nothing fake about him.

[@andrewmilton9342]

Duck is out of Convoy (cigar on the left) and Deathproof (cigar on the right) G'day from Perth Western Australia 👍

[@shankarwain4289]

Those 8v92 sound similar to flatplane v8s ! Loved it !

[@ThorGPA]

Not even close. Only reason it sounds the way it does is due to it being a 2 stroke

[@theadventuresofbillythebig8320]

Love those old screamin meanies. The convoy duck had one on a pete I ran and my girls always called it the duck truck lol.

[@tony66au]

Im more a 71 series guy but that 92 qualifies as a screaming jimmy for sure for sure!

[@jaymckean3274]

Convoy for the win. Great movie. Quack quack. Stay safe everyone ✌️😎

[@trainman071]

this damn thing moves and moves with a serious attitude

[@natebell20]

I learned how to drive truck on a 12v92 Pete, 13 speed. I quickly learned Detroit were way smoother than Cummins 400 big cam
