20 Rarest Engines Ever Put in Production Trucks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r37Nl6RtjcZ5b6M

The 6v71s were used in all the GMC New Look post 1959 buses. The Perkins 4-236 and 6-354 were amongst the most reliable. My Dad had a Perkins 4-236 in an old Insley crane that ran for years.

[@PapawPanda]

Why post about the V-6-71 and show the 6-71 In most of that part of the video?

[@jofus3604]

The silliest thing is this video and it's commentator, that silly v-6 and 8-71 was used all over the would and probably still is!

[@JoeMcCain-sr8jy]

Funny how bad 2 stroke Detroits supposedly were yet they had close to 40 percent of the heavy truck engine market.

[@stevemabry6718]

They were cheap to buy

[@Cletrac305]

Yea, they really suck when you don't RTFM (Read The F'in Manual) and perform proper maintenance! Everyone, every day, still touches or uses something hauled, produced, facilitated by, or built with the help of a GM 2 stroke at some point. History would be entirely different without the 30% of fuel saved, reliability, parts commonality, ease of repair, and power density offered by the 2 stroke GM Diesels of the Detroit, Cleveland, and Electro-Motive divisions in WW2! Ask half the Japanese ships on the bottom of the sea!

[@robertdinicola9225]

Plenty of boats still run them

[@Cletrac305]

As a 40+ year Diesel engine mechanic, builder, and owner of every major brand, in the trucking and heavy equipment field, and having extensively studied marine, military, stationary, emergency and rail propulsion, I'm sick of hearing about how bad the best Diesel engine series ever created as a whole, and the one to which the world owes much of it's freedom from tyranny and it's life- improving and life-saving infrastructure, the General Motors 2 cycle Diesel engine is, they are still being installed new in some countries. Whether it be Detroit, Cleveland, or Electro-Motive Division, You can have your own opinions, but, before you open your mouth, thank them every morning over your coffee for the hundereds of thousands of tons of imperial Japanese shipping they helped send to the bottom of the pacific in WW2 in submarines, the men that made it to the beaches in the pacific and Normandy, the Sherman tanks that made it through the fight, and the things around you and services you enjoy that were or are still transported by locomotives, trucks, great lakes ore boats, and coal barges, many of which still hang on to the same original EMDs with a death grip in the face of newer costly, complex, unreliable engines. Many GM two strokes have been hauling freight, fighting fires, generating electricity, moving dirt, going into combat, or dragging fishing nets, hauling lobster pots, and shoving crab boats with their throttles pinned to the wall thru typhoons and hurricanes for 60+ years. They can't help it if you don't RTFM (Read The "Furnished" Manual!) and follow it! Essentially, if you can work on one GM two stroke, you can probably work on any GM two-stroke! You can put any mechanical injector from 1938 on that was put in any 51,53,71,92, or 110 series in any other mechanical engine, put a 1940 4-71 2 valve head on one side of a 1988 8V-71 and an aluminum 4 valve head on the other, sitck a different injector and a different piston and sleeve from any decade in every hole, lay the engine on its side, put in the wrong oil, move the accessories to any of 4 locations, spin it backwards guess at the valve and injector setting by feel in the dark, discard the governor and wind it up until the howling starts and it would at least drag your butt back home! Based on proven 1930s technology, many in the family are still going strong, some made in all aluminum at more than 1hp per cubic inch.

This is one of the most dishonest video I've ever seen in my life

[@larrytomb3896]

AC 9 liter is one for the books

[@jasonrisseeuw7399]

The "silly" thing about this video is all the bogus information. I have worked on and driven most of these engines over the years and I know many of them are still in use today. Did you actually talk to anyone to get accurate information or did you just make it up?

[@vintagedrivetvyt]

Those trucks were legends! We just create videos based on what some people think, It doesnt mean we think they were silly.

[@fredheddington5318]

Back in the 1960s I drove a White truck with a engine called GEILSEL which is a deisel engine conversion to run on gasoline. Fred Heddington

[@JohnFryear]

Who ever made this video shouldn't quit their day job.

[@billloffler8637]

I put a many mile on bus motors and nobody worried about fuel consumption at 30 cents a gallon.

[@LBrawn]

Did your 8 year old kid write this?

[@kevinbaker8102]

This person never drove trucks he’s talking about with the engines he’s putting down

[@thecatlover6821]

My dad in law first truck had a 327 Chevy engine and had a legal gross weight of 77,000 pounds most of these engines this guy mentioned would be great compared to that

[@AllanDock]

This guy is talking out of his arse. Some of these engines were nothing short of brilliant for their time. He would not know shit from wild honey

[@craiglacey9827]

The International 13-liter MAXXFORCE was probably the single worst diesel engine ever manufactured for heavy-duty trucks. It pretty much bankrupted Navistar and was the ultimate “hangar queen”! I agree that this video lacks credibility. Engines of their time can’t be critically judged because they didn’t have future technology such as electronic fuel management or turbocharging.

[@duaneskranak8414]

You should do more research before posting things you obviously know nothing about.

[@darrellfxdwg]

Pure stupidity and absolute drivel.

[@kennethmcleod5014]

Any engine can be good if you tune it to the application and engine support systems capability. All those v8 diesels had adjustable fuel pumps. That's why some guys swear by them. They had them tuned after the factory settings. We knew nothing about internal diesel combustion back then compared to current times.

[@tedboersma6591]

I would like to know where they got the AI reader! Nice neutral accent. Fun to hear “l b f” of torque and “5 8” instead of “V eight” . The writer must have added a “g” to Cummins. So in short ~ this is drivel!

[@Tama-dr4oz]

This is pure bs many of the engines showcased here were some of the best including the Mack's, Cummins, and the Old 2 Stroke Detroit's, I don't know about the Cats but I bet they ran good as well whoever put this together had the titles mixed up.

[@tommckeemckee9865]

This guy has no clue what he's talking about.

[@chrisjohnston4400]

This is ai generated

[@salvadordollyparton666]

stupid ai bullshit...

[@steveclardy5196]

Video is total BS

[@GGNoble47]

What a load of BS!!!!

[@snoman003]

Tell me you have no idea about Detroit, without telling me you don't know Detroit's...all while leaving out one of the worst engines ever put in a truck, the 8.2 liter fuel pincher Diesel.

[@LBrawn]

THIS IS SHOCKINGLY STUPID

[@freddog5218]

total bs

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 👍👍🍾🥂🤗🤗

[@nekechat9805]

😮O man ...... this article is the most foolish one i've ever listned to ...... pure nonsence ..... 😅 For every one of those foolish stupidities, i can name a 1000 cases of good results ..... 😊

[@fasteddiesgarage5000]

Lol new trucks only get 6 mpg 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevemabry6718]

Oh no, they all get 9 mpg, i talk to the guys at the fuel stop, and its the automatic transmission that makes it all happen, i will keep my old 60 series and I know it's not the best, or my favorite, but it's making me some good paychecks

[@denniscyril-l5x]

utter crap
