Going for a Joyride! 8v92 DDEC IV Peterbilt 359 80k load 600HP

Our very own shop creation "Joyride." A 1981 Peterbilt 359 standard hood with an 8v92 DDEC IV. Our first harvest season is in the books with it.

to me there is no such ting as an oil injected 2 stroke and my 8v92 i rigged up the same, it runs on toll steel M42 roller bearings formed by hydrogen nuclear fusion to make these hard molybdenum alloys with LENR! Its on roller bearings!

[@timkis64]

im really impressed how clean its burning.just goes to show, blowing soot is NOT necessary for power production.it only pisses off the public who vote against dirty diesels.

[@J.R.in_WV]

A good running Detroit won’t roll clouds of black smoke, just a puff when taking off then a slight haze under load once you’re moving. What killed them wasn’t their Particulate output, it was the new NOX emissions standards, which is something not visible to the eye. NOX is the same reason Cummins went to low flow cooling around the same time Detroit pulled the 71 and 92’s out of the road truck market. Surprisingly enough though they still put 8v92TA’s with electronic controls in military trucks well into the 2000’s, seems Uncle Sam doesn’t play by his own rules when it’s considered a “national defense” issue.

[@andrewking4885]

@@J.R.in_WV Thanks for the update & Merry Christmas 🎄. I always wondered what the exact reason was for Detroits being banned in CA around 1987 era. I thought it was the visible particulates. 🐈 CAT had the same problem they used compound turbos and when Euro 4 or 5 they gave up.

[@jlo13800]

The 2 strokes run hotter and cleaner and also run on hardened tool steel roller bearings! Either m42 or M50NIL tool steel to take the loads, they can also run on very high octane t=ethanol which makes more power and burns much hotter and cleaner, today i fill and run nothing but XD-100 BRP 2 stroke etec oil in my 8v92 silver detroit turbo and its a bit hooer and cleaner than shell rotella SAE 40 2T!

That Detroit 8v92 has the best and most distinct sound. Gotta love it

[@carlwilliams1570]

That’s what I always thought too! My favorite 2 stroke. I used them all from 2/71,353,453,471,671,6V53,6V92,8V71 and the 8V92. I never cared for the raspy sound of a 318 though. Detroit’s sound the same in some ways but each model has its own unique sound. I do miss hearing them everyday, but I don’t miss the oil leaks,hard starting in cold weather and fuel burn.

[@khalilminorel747]

That Detroit is California qualified... No smoke, clean burn. Reminds me of my first driving job. I hauled rock, stone, slag, sand and salt in a 1978 Ford LTL 9000 8V92 with a 5x4 in the floor. I was tired at the end of the day but that LuLu smoked like a broke stove & she hummed like Ella Fitzgerald and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

[@HANKTHEDANKEST]

DDEC: one of the only times a 'puter and a fuel injection system ever made sense. No hunting, burns super-duper clean, and takes nothing away from the platform--it only ever added. Shame they're not being sold new in North America anymore, but between the military and all the dedicated folks like this dude I think Detroits are going to be around for a very long time to come. When there are no more OTR diesels working for a buck, trucks like this will just get historical plates and live on anyway. Rock on, Joyride. You am a good trumck.

[@omartadashi3354]

I think the only proper ECUs built for diesel is came from the DDECs era, not by Detroit Diesel, but other manufacturer I think 'Cause in that period, new diesels were adored, praised, and clean burning (except for someone who tuned it to much for in the name of "Pooweeeeerrrrr")

Back in the 60's we had a small freight warehouse right in the middle of the neighborhood. It was zoned industrial, I would here those screamin Detroits coming down the road to unload at the freight warehouse and I would jump out of bed. They had the GMC Astro COE day cab, I would sit up in the window just to wait for them to take pff and just roam right through the neighborhood. Nobody complained or said a word about the trucks coming and going late at night. Miss those screamin Detroits!

[@ricktweden2276]

There is absolutely no need to subject that much torque to the drive train. A feathered throttle as you shift will double the life of your tranny and rear ends. A frame that does not flex is the signature of a good driver. You can sometimes spot a hard driver just by looking at the sag of the springs on the right side of the steer axle.

[@iBackshift]

I think the DDEC 4 has the best control over multiple fuel injections in the DDEC series. Meaning, it has the best/faster response time of on/off metering with smaller injection quantities. DDEC as far as I know, was the first company to have multiple injections. Instead of mechanical, 10 btdc, squirt, bang: the DDEC can say squirt up to 3 times btdc and up to 5 times after tdc to make a more complete burn of the fuel.

[@hoost3056]

Never met a DDEC 4 controlled diesel that I didn't like. The common Series 60 is a great unit, and you can tell that this engine is happy. It pulls through the gears properly, revs well, great throttle response.
