Back in the day built quite a few crates for special metal roofing orders👍

[@mikemaginness9960]

My dad drove 48 ft doubles on the Kansas Turnpike his tractor was a K100 with a 12 V 71, twin turbos, and a 13 speed transmission.(he said it would take about 2 miles to get it up to 70mph with 70,000 # load ) compared to other trucks he drove he said "you've got to drive it like your mad at it". I rode with him once, and that one I'll never forget.

[@fsctruckshop6537]

I drove a dump truck a few times loaded down with a 6v71 in it. They must be made to scream to get any work out of them. It does feel abusive, but it's not.

[@kenore4003]

Detroit Diesels, designed to produce smoke and noise.

[@timatwell3728]

The way the old guy told me how to drive the old 6-71 was slam your fingers in the door so your pissed off at it and made you drive it that way wide open it had a 15 speed transmission and 5.56 or something rears it was used to haul coal in Va and Wv but you could go threw all the gears in 1/2 mile topping out at 64 mph with 30 ton on it. man miss those old days now but that had a part in my hearing loss I couldn't hear for 3 or 4 hours after my 12 shift . glad to see Matt helping again y'all stay safe and keep the video's coming

[@ruxoneto6560]

If it took it two miles to get to 70 it was no v-12v-12-71 twin turbo , it was a v 8-71 or there is something seriously wrong with it !!!💥💥

[@andrewking4885]

Sorry I don't believe that engine takes 2 miles to get up to speed. Just over 40 seconds from a stationary start .

[@freighttrainjoe]

I got to say FSC truck shop is way better than cable TV

[@neilmcintosh1200]

Great to see Matt. Looks in better shape as well. James Pretty needs a quality sensible helper of that calibre to carefully take down those 2 3406s he has. Matt should name his price!!

[@donwiley1055]

For me today was a very good video to see Matt back like I said before sometimes kids have to learn things the hard way and that's a job as a parent is to keep praying for him and keep teaching them the right way of life no matter what goes on in their head they think they can move a mountain without setting down thinking and figuring out the best way to do it this was a very very good video to see you two working together again I love the video to me this was a very good video keep doing what you do

[@haroldkoebel4297]

Glad to see your working on the old Detroit.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great work both. Looking forward to seeing it back home. Thanks for sharing

[@philipcoston5993]

Jason Aseline sent me! Looks like trains and trucks This should be fun.

[@christianbyington8599]

Be cool to see a maintenance video on Orwell. Oil change and whatever else is done on a normal maintenance day.

[@rickweissmann7101]

Love all the old Detroits but 12V71 my favorite

[@Jagparts2023]

FSC Truck Shop , Loved here in England .

[@robertnorthrup1914]

Great job on the crates. Sometimes on short pieces it helps to pre-drill thru holes so screws don’t split the wood.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve building the crate for the block and Crankshaft looks great. Safe travels to Pennsylvania.

[@charlesfrascona2073]

Matt is a good boy. Helping out his father

[@conorgraafpietermaritzburg3720]

very good

[@MegaEaglelover]

Hopefully they take the care to take those crates apart that y’all used to put them together… Damn Fine job on those crates

They better. I need them for shipping back home.

I’ve not bee watching videos all the time, but it was great to see Matt, looks like he’s growing up some. Gotten into better shape, losing that young man baby fat we have at 15-17

[@donalddodson7365]

Hoping the machine shop does not find any serious flaws in the block. Happy travels.

[@chrisbrick2329]

Steve why not put a shot of chain hanging down from the ceiling and hook the chain fall to that

[@joshuahouston08]

Happy to see you an matt bck at again!!

I believe this was done before Matt left.

[@fsctruckshop6537]

No. Matt came to his senses and came home. This video is very recent.

@@fsctruckshop6537 That is great news!

[@mikeshultz1007]

Drills are for drilling holes and impact drivers are for installing screws.

[@davidgriffin14]

That engine burns 30 gallons every hour at 2,300 RPM's. That's insane.

[@mikecorleone6797]

It depends on injector size. My marine 6-53’s burn around 8-10 gallons an hour each running N65’s depending on the current direction.

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

That's how we transport our motors all the time. When we take them to the machine shop for service. We are getting the machine equipment to do that part. And our mechanics are 💯% license to do that kind of work. We always use a cargo truck to transport them. The machine shop we use is like a hours drive and there quick doing work. I usly take them there and Jessie will ride with me. And we check out the thrift stores across the road and next door. We use the engine stand when we transport them. Cause we did it that way u did and jeot having issues without not damaging the parts under the motor. Jessie my wife goes I bet when Steve edits the video and realizes he has a reverse light out he goes to a auto parts store and get a bulb.

[@daddywoofdawg]

My question is you built pockets for the forklift then put the engine crate in sideways so the forks can't go under the crate and by putting the crate at the front instead of near the rear axle unless they have a forklift with long forks the forklift isn't going to be able to get to it unless they wrap a chain around it and drag it to the back.

[@fsctruckshop6537]

Forks couldn't reach the front of the loadbead anyway. It was pulled out with a chain and lifted once at the edge. If the other way the chains would have nothing to hook to.

[@chrishunter5041]

Any thoughts on what you'll use the engine in?

[@carlformsma8075]

Should have put it on a semi and transport load go at the same way to Pennsylvania make money at the same time.

[@BruceDelVecchio]

FSC Wood Shop, coming soon?

[@mikehermesmeglio]

Any updates?

[@mikecorleone6797]

Our shop built the original thor truck 24v71.. that’s all we do is detroit 🇺🇸

[@sethnonya8566]

I f**in cant belive that engine hoist did that

[@shammi8133]

For some unknown reason seams like machine shops like to use R and L . I guess it's the whole lift gate and even deliver to backwoods neighborhoods.

[@fsctruckshop6537]

Yes. But I'm doing the shipping myself to lower the cost.

[@brotheradam]

just like the harleys-- 53 always leaked

[@mjkrigging6374]

Is that gene's car in the background?

[@kramikam9005]

hope you add an electric motor to your lift

[@jvjoe4376]

New to the channel. Awesome that you are a hands owner operator. Just out of curiosity, out what truck did that Detroit come out of?

[@bryanphillips6666]

If I remember correctly, in another video he said it was an off road machine maybe a Terex or something

[@gr8white144]

What part of Pennsylvania are you dropping it off in?

[@jimsmith1946]

Ah, the tractor engine is going to the machine shop

[@cocopublicnews6766]

Is it gonna have a j brake

[@edwardsilva895]

Did you already send the heads to the shop or were they cracked?

[@fsctruckshop6537]

No. The block and crank are going first. But they must go to Pennsylvania as the machines required are not here in Wisconsin. Once I get the short block done I will start on the heads and blowers. And know by then if I'm going twin turbo or NA.

[@rposton919]

A relative sold an engine on eBay some years ago. The idiot buyer demanded it be crated like that AND delivered for $50. He's still waiting.....

[@kenore4003]

I know I missed some posts but why is it going to shop? Just to make sure everything is straight and parallel?🤔

[@fsctruckshop6537]

A quality engine build must have a good foundation.

[@kenore4003]

Hi guy's. I ran across this, and thought of your video's on the 12V 71 tear down. I know this will be of interest on big diesel engine Crankshaft exchange that men can stand in the bottom of the crank area. Enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH3Kfp1rppinp7c
