6V92 Driving up Hill Full Load

1980 GMC Brigadier Dump Truck.

[@OnePieceTractor]

I've got a 6v92 in a dump truck and she runs mighty fine weighing 60000. Might not get to 65 as fast as some others, but she maintains well once rolling and her turbo is piercing your eardrums

Oh, man! So much fun! My first driving job back in the ‘70s was for a family-owned lumber company located in the Adirondack high peaks region in upstate New York. They were soup to nuts. Everything from logging their own land, to milling and planing lumber to operating a full-service home center. I hauled pulp wood, wood chips finished lumber. Back hauled all manner of building materials, from shingles to cinderblocks. Most always wa-a-ay over weight. A 350 Cummins was “big power” for us. Hauled some hellacious big loads over hilly secondary roads, 10-12% grades not uncommon. Often in a Fleetstar 2070 daycab International with a 290 Cummins and a 13 speed. Jake brake? Never heard of it. Had a ball. Went on from that to hauling chemical tanker all over the Northeast. My one big regret: I never got to drive a 2 stroke Detroit

I had general repair done on the engine and gearbox (yes, moped with 2 speed automatic gearbox) few weeks ago, it has fresh 85km on new, but it goes 55km/h, engine isn´t really run-in now, but I have fucking overtaken Audi A8 in village :D :D It is recommended to not pull more than 3/4 gas and not to drive more than 35km/h when engine is running-in, but fuck it, full gas and it went crazy :D :D Two stroke is fun even in a few cubic centimeters..... Before general repair it went 65km/h after the wind..

[@chuckg2016]

@Peter Szoke Detroit Diesel had various models of their two-strokes running in truck frames. I'm of the opinion that two-strokes are great engines in industrial applications like electric generators, agricultural pumps, etc., but for pulling loads I want the low end torque of a four-stroke.

[@piter_sk]

@@chuckg2016 Yep, thats true my friend, four stroke has its peak torque in less RPMs than two stroke has.... But there must have been a reason to make 2 stroke diesel... Idk, maybe less requirements needed to make a 2 stroke :D

It sounds happy... Detroit's love to rip.i had a 453T in a 65 Suburban..bought it that way. 3500 rpms sounded like 8000. Love that 2 stroke death sound. I may have only had 150 HP..but she sounded so goooood

[@dp.oennismaurer205]

When I was younger, I always wanted to drive trucks.My friend taught me on a 4000 c.o.e. International with an 8V-71. Just keep it wound up he would tell me. He also was a good mechanic and fixed cars and heavy trucks with his older brother when they had a service station.I used to go to their station after working at my factory job, to see what trucks they were or had worked on. One day they had a Diamond-Reo tandem axle flatbed with a 6V-53 that they had finished repairing. My friend let me drive it back to the customers yard .It had a 10 speed and what a screamer it was! That was the end of my driving dream as I got sick. I still liked trucks and heavy equipment and learned a lot about what it takes to fix them.

I remember the first time I drove a 6V92 Detroit in an old international. I couldn’t get it to shift for nothing. Then I was told runner up to about 1800 or so RPM. Then it shifted fine.

[@sbingr5313]

Kudos on proper shifting technique, nice to see someone who knows how to use a clutch.

[@thomasglynn2282]

You really only need to double clutch for down shifting, and that's only to get the counter shaft gears spinning as fast as the main shaft. For up shifting most drivers, especially the old school ones won't use the clutch. Mack trucks owners manual from the 50s say that once the truck is in motion it's not necessary to use the clutch for up or down shifting. But you should always drive a vehicle which ever way you feel comfortable doing so. So hammer down.

They were tuff trucks, all steel dash board, zero sound insulation, only competitor price wise was a Ford Louisville.

It'd fire up like summer at 45 below, also had an alcohol sniffer on the air system, and it never had air brake freeze ups. Good ole truck but deafening to drive.

[@v6200man]

I envy you guys being able to sample 2-stroke V6's - little like that to hear over here in UK whatever the criticisms. I enjoyed listening to it. Did strike me from the gear changes that some gear skipping was taking place as the revvs dropped but always understood you wind a 2-stroke up to the max to compensate on flatter torque response from them and lots more gear usage, compare to say a UK slow-revving 4-stroke Gardner. Tony.

[@mrobinson4210]

The vast majority of 6 cylinder truck diesels are inline-6. in fact I'm not aware of a V-6 truck diesel.

[@rexluminus9867]

Tony Griffin. You revved it up too high before shifting up.Sounded sick.Hardly any hill. BS!

[@markymarknj]

@@mrobinson4210 the engine in this video was a V6; it was the DD 6V92. The 6 denotes the number of cylinders; the V means it's in a V configuration; and the 92 means there's 92 cu. in. per cylinder. The 6V71 was a popular DD two stroke back in the day, as many city buses had them.

There’s only one way to drive YOUR OWN TRUCK, the way you see fit,, everyone is an Authority or professional on you tube. I get a kick out of the comments, and my comment could be viewed the same. But when it comes down to it, it doesn’t matter at all. I just say to anyone making these videos, of any kind, keep them coming. I love it . It’s like baiting the hook and see who hits it. All the rights and wrongs in different people’s eyes. My Daddy did it this way kinda stuff. And if you respect your parents and they did anything the right way or wrong, it is right to you. Now for my opinion, and it is only opinion,, from my point of view. My daddy double clutched every thing. Until he had a knee replacement on his left leg. Doctor said it was from constantly over using his left leg every day, I have seen transmissions and clutches used by both. And the guys that double clutch, thinks it’s normal to replace a clutch regularity. As for me, I do my own repairs , and I don’t like working on stuff I can prolong, like clutches. I have been driving for a long time and like others I have my opinion. I can double clutch also, but it my opinion, WHY but that’s me. Is it right or wrong? Any way enough rambling on, I do it because it is YOU TUBE, and it don’t matter anyway.

If this was loaded he would not be skipping gears with a 6V92!

[@dieselmutt8865]

They were lower gears so your point? Drove many 2 stroke Detroit's in my younger years and did that all the time. I drove an '89 6v92 a LOT that had the electronic computer/throttle. Couldn't make it smoke and you could lug it all day long at 80k with no harm.

[@Seveneleven44]

diesel mutt88 what little experience I have with one, I would put money on the table to bet he wasn’t too heavy. I can’t skip shift loaded with the truck I have now and it certainly has more power than a 318. I can’t believe that you had a Detroit that didn’t smoke? I believe all the two stroke v8’s they made, smoke like hell under load or heavy throttle? We have the very same truck as this video and it has 3.90’s with a 13 speed. No way on earth does he have a heavy load.

If you knew anything about floating the gears, you would know that the shift is made with the gears unloaded. Going uphill at speeds under 10 mph , short precise shifts must be made and there is no time to double clutch between gears. Either master the technique or stay in 1L till you crest the hill.
