Some decades ago (ca. 1970 until about 1991), Seattle Fire's trucks were mostly Kenworths w/ either 6-71 or 8V-71 power. To me, there was nothing quite so haunting as hearing a bunch of them, responding to a night fire call, Federal "Qs" screaming away, air horns, and the straight-piped (w/ Jakes) sound of those engines...

[@SAMPLETEXT285]

A local fire truck manufacturer where I live in Pennsylvania called Hahn Fire Apparatus or just Hahn motors also used 8v71 Detroits in their trucks too they ran from 1916 until 1989 a Buddy of mine owns a 1982 hahn Hcp-10 pumper truck with an 8v71

[@longrifle.]

Detroit powered just about all fire apparatus during those years. Good thing too, you might be in pump for a couple of hours, or a couple of days. They are loud, leak and not very fuel efficient. But when you hit that button and it fired, you knew as long as it has fuel (Jimmy Juice) it wont quit. We trusted our lives to Detroit and those Jimmy's never let us down! I Never could say that about CAT. Ha, Federal Q2, that brings back a flood memories. Many a night i almost pushed that foot switch through the floor board coming up to an intersection!

At trucking school, back in the mid 80's, we trained on a bunch of old LTL White day cabs with 6V92T's hooked up to long-throw Spicer 7spds. That engine was so easy to drive, with it's lack of heavy freewheel, it shifted just slightly slower than a car tranny. We got spoiled on those trainer trucks, and when they got us driving on the GMC cabovers with the CAT motors with road-ranger 9 spds, we had to totally re-learn what 'double clutching' meant!

In the mid to late 60's there was a carnival that came to town every year. And what supplied all of the electricity for the entire carnival? Not one , but two (2) Detroit 12v71, both had double turbos and blowers, both engines were painted white with lots of chrome accessories and were cradled and bolted to a flat-bed trailer. The engines were covered on the flatbed with clear Plexiglas (I think). Anyway, those Detroit's would sing. As a son of a truck driver and a young boy it was a beautiful thing, and that is why I always loved Detroit's. Seems toooo me that who-ever owned the carnival loved and was very proud of his power unit as well.

[@brownh2orat211]

Started my career in 1979 working on detroit 2 stroke marine engines in the Navy, they were used in all the small craft, all the 71 series from 2-71's to 16-71's, all the 53's and 92's.

I haven't heard that word "hunt" as a description of the loping behavior of the engine at low idle for half a century. You're right about it.

The hunting is from a bad tune-up. The buffer screw is to be used for not dieing at idle after rack goes from full throttle to idle abruptly. Injectors are not set properly. Rack is out of adjustment.

The old Jimmy's sound so great. when I first started out trucking I drove a lot of Detroit powered trucks they were still very popular back then. and Caterpillar and Cummins weren't the same companies they are today. and even though I loved the sound of them. if you drove a Detroit powered truck as much I did? you get to where you just want a break from all the noise. especially because it was so constant. that was especially the case with the 71 series engine's. because the driver would have to keep them wound right up against the governor. I liked the 92 series engine's better they were a little more forgiving. and by the time those engine's were introduced. the trucks were getting much better insulation in the cabs. so the driver didn't get bombarded by all the noise so badly. which made them quite a bit better. I liked the 8V92 probably the best. for their time they were very capable engine's. then as time went on I got more and more opportunities to drive Cummins and Caterpillar powered trucks. and drove trucks with those engines a majority of the time. with the exception of several opportunities that got to drive Mack trucks with Mack engines in them. but being a company driver, and being that most companies had Cummins or Caterpillar powered trucks. although there were unique occasions where a company would have trucks powered by both engines. and depending on which company I was working for. I might drive a truck with a Cummins engine or it might be a Caterpillar engine. most of the companies had Cummins engines. and over the years I had finally settled on my favorite combination of engine and tractor. which is a Peterbilt model 379 with a Caterpillar 3406 E with twin straits. and it all started with some creaming Jimmies all those years ago. and watching this video reminded me just how good they sounded. the two scenes with with the drivers in the trucks with the twin sticks. I drove a hell of a lot trucks with twin sticks in them. and I prefer the shift towers to be more like first guy. where they down along side the seat and close together. because on a straight stretch of road I got to where I could reach over with both arms. and shift both shift towers at the same time. and after doing it for quite awhile I got really good at it. however I don't know how that second guy could shift that brownie box. like that with that shift tower way up in the air like that. I would never want to reach up for the shift tower like that. but it seemed to be working for him. however I can shift much faster than he can. I have always had fondness for twin sticks. they are really good transmission set ups. I also really love the eighteen speed Eaton Fuller Road Ranger transmissions. I also liked the black Ford pickup with the Detroit in it. that reminded me of when I was young. I used to watch this cattle farmer on my way to school. that had a 1966 Ford F250 4x4 with a Detroit in it. and it had a flatbed on it, and he would load it with hay bales. and he had this really long field and he would start at one end. and he put the truck in low gear and pull out throttle cable. to keep the truck at a leisurely speed of three to four MPH. then he would climb out on to the flatbed. and break up the bales and throw the hay off for the cattle. and by the time reached the other end of field. he would climb back into the cab and head back to the other end of the field. with that Jimmy a screaming and going though the gears. it was always intriguing to watch on my way to school.

This engine is, i think, also a two stroke: Detroit Diesel Allison 6V-53T 267 pk (195 kW) bij 2800 tpm. Used also in a lot of millitairy vehekels. done in total 9 years in the dutch army and rode a lot in several YPR-765.

Now they've tested that engine and are pushing out close to 400 horsepower.

When I started working on Buses they were phasing out the ones with the 6v92. The rest of the fleet had Series 50s. A handful had the Cummins M11. Never got a chance to work on the 6V92 but absolutely love watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelmurphy6869]

Wasnt it why starting fluid was invented.? Because those older Detroit's didn't have a cold weather starting system, glow plugs, intake grid heaters, engine or fuel heaters. Probably still today, you'll see empty cans and/or open case of starting fluid behind the seat inside of the cab of those old Detroit-powered trucks. Love those Detroit's!

That brings back memories of when I was attending college in Oregon back in the 70’s I was living in a motel and right across the highway in the other motel was staying about ten contract log truck drivers for a company that the trucks where cabover GMC trucks with a sleeper. They would start those trucks at around 4.00 am and immediately run them up to about 1,800rpm , no need for a alarm clock 🤪🤪🤪👍

[@PropsandWings]

2 things that make 2 strokes a nightmare: stuck open rack (usually after sitting for a long time) and turbo seal failure allowing oil to be sucked in. Both cause a runaway; overall, when they run correctly, hard engine to kill and will run wide open constantly.

Anyone who knows what sugar sand is, knows the lack of low end torque is your friend. For extra cash, I drove our 5 star General with a 6-71 T, 9 L.L., tri-axle dump everywhere the Cats and Cummins couldn't because they got hopping in the sand and dug themselves a hole.

I might want to convert my 8v92 2 stroke silver into methanol or ethanol and 6 gallons of castor 927 maxima 2 stroke beam oil! I’m already running BRP XD-100 etec oil with great results. She runs smoother with a bit more power. I dumped in 2 quarts of amsoil interceptor 2T for good measure. Full synthetic 2 stroke oil is amazing stuff! Interceptor is at 60$ a gal but I get the XD-100 for 48$ a gal at Walmart . An achates power 2 stroke probably will run with quicksilver TCW3 full synthetic.

[@tonylawrence4161]

Yeah tell that to all the deaf old timers that ran them. My dads left ear was closed off ,sewed shut, cause 6/71 Blew his ear drum out. Im actually glad the 4 strokes were fairly established when i started mechanic work. All i did was build engines from top 4 manufacturers

[@edwardpate6128]

To me nothing sounds better than the good old 6-71.

[@jlo13800]

We got them on tge tugboat 80kw 1200 rpm. My 8v92 turbo 2 stroke is in the backyard. I converted it to work on 6 gallons of BRP XD-100 2 stroke etec oil which works great. I siphon done off and premix and dump Mor XD in. VRO at its finest. Tge rotax 850 etec turbo just above idle at 1200 rpm sounds like 4-53 at 1200 rpm. My other favorite is the mercury optimax 300SX stroker. They are 60 deg 193 CID 2 stroke v6 and 3 of them could form a 578 CID OP 2 stroke optimax mini Deltic. I’m thinking about this for a while now.

The 2stroke Detroit in my dad’s old rig had 278,000 miles on it before he had it rebuilt. By the time he got rid of it, It had well over a million miles on the road, everything (drivetrain wise) had been repaired, replaced and/or rebuilt. Thanks for sharing the video, best of luck 🍀

Detroit diesel 2 strokes are the Rotax of diesel 2 stroke engines. Rotax and Detroits are done of my favorite 2 strokes! Tge Detroit lived in another form of 2 stroke in he new skidoo 850 etec turbo sleds today. Go buy one and run it just at 1200 rpm above idle to get that 2 stroke 1200 rpm jimmy sound. I’m son a tugboat at work and can hear the 6-71 1200 rpm 80kw generator. It makes me think about about tge Polaris 850 khaos turbo sled I keep watching on KZbin.
