I'm always looking for old classic semi trucks to save and restore. I'm also always looking for trucks or parts Detroit Diesel related. If you have one that needs to be saved or you know of one you can drop me an email at the following address: [e-mail]
Be sure to check out our website ol2stroker.com for truck parts and merch!

There can’t be many of them dinosaurs left, I’m surprised you find as many as you do. Glad you’re keeping the story going for the old 2 stroke diesels 👍

[@gullreefclub]

They made millions of them and the majority of the V-12 saw service as industrial/stationary equipment (gen sets and pumps),followed by heavy equipment, marine, and then trucks. While the majority of trucks with 12v71’s have gone to the truck heaven there are still there are plenty of stationary engines that are still in service. The biggest problem with buying a stationary engine is all the truck only parts that often are specific to the make and model truck application.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Right. Finding v12 blocks isn't too terrible yet but truck specific parts, forget it.

[@VSigma725]

@@gullreefclub There's someone on local Facebook Marketplace selling a 12V71 twin turbo that was used as a generator, that thing must sound incredible when you fire it up.

He said in a prior video, she just stopped asking. I guess if there food, lights and heat it's all good 👍

Oh and you technically should only count the ones that make smoke 😭

Better to have an obscene number of engines than an obscene number of girls! She knows if im home playin with my junk I aint out doing other dumb shit!

Don't count the ones that leak oil tho!

How many 12 V Detroits does a man need???? ALL OF THEM ! You da man Wayne!

[@davidanderson2393]

Nice V12 haul, glad to see you received the Spicer manuals, I used to have manuals for just about every make and model truck differential and transmission. But after being out of the gear business for 20+ years I had gotten rid of most of them, I was surprised that I still had those out in the shop.

Wayne collecting V12 engines is only problem when you say it's a problem, now I've had an idea, bare with me here, but, why not put a V12 in the LULL, it'll be great balance for when you pick up another one, sorry mate but I think the Whiskey is talking, lmao, keep up the great work Brother. 🇬🇧

[@Ol2Stroker]

Boy that old funk transmission sure would be upset with my life choices then!!!

[@ronaldduwaynebrown8071]

Those shift knobs are the coolest

[@jsatre5504]

Good idea Wayne on stockpiling these 12s esp the ones that came out of trucks. I've been looking for a stamped steel oil pan and 15.5" flywheel for a while now and no luck so far. Thankfully I was able to find some dogbone heads and upgraded the coolant system to 92 series parts. Mounted the turbos right on top of each blower and modified some 6v92 exhaust manifolds to make it fit in Peterbilt 359exhd frame. Best of luck on your projects.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks man!! We'll be there!!

[@ruxoneto6560]

The cracks in the heads if they don't leak do a valve job & surface them & run them. Most of 71 series detroit head cracks are superficial cracks

[@ruxoneto6560]

That last v-12 , my guess is by the exhaust manifolds & dual intake snorkel it came out of freightliner cab over.

[@davepatti2296]

Junk hoarders lol....we're all guilty and dude this is our support group! never saw any of the V12's in the construction equipment, mostly just 6-71's, 6v's and 8vs. One guy was a Trailways mechanic (he was the Detroit master!) and many were used in bigger buses he said. Kudos to you for keeping them going. used to be a common sound on the roads.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I miss them glory days!! V12 came in the real bix terex dozers i think they're called 82-80 and also in scrapers and big haul trucks!

[@JoeSmith-wd8ks]

Yeah Wayne , Euclid Tc12 had two 671s in 1954 was most powerful dozer in the world . The 82-80 continued with that arrangement . Then they redesigned the whole thing with one engine a 12v71 and called it the 82-50 a 50 ton machine to compete with Cat’s D9 In the last days of Terex and ownership changes it was called the D800 Terex . Love your channel mate , all the best from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Wayne glad to see your getting a collection of those V12 Detroits hopefully you can find some good heads for them to. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.

[@HANKTHEDANKEST]

Wayne, I'm glad you're going around doing the right thing and saving these big iron turds from the crusher or the mice or whathaveyou. Sure there's millions around, but they said the same thing about steam locomotives: there were millions until there weren't. There's a weird twilight with old iron where it's not useful anymore but it doesn't yet have mainstream appeal as an antique yet, and thus goes into the actual junk pile. Cheers to you and all the other stubborn fucks who refuse to let these things rot away.

[@heatherbrown2761]

Those shift knobs are freaking SICK! The color is absolutely beautiful, love the sparkle. You should light them up under some good light for us, are they Detroit green? 🤤

move inner wheels to outside......will work much better. When you have the wheels that far under the load the load exerts more force on them.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing

[@timothymilam732]

Dollys of any kind typically do better if you have a set that swivels on one end or the other preferably the front casters swivel. The back two should be locked into straight forward or backwards. This gives you leverage to go one direction at time, and is definitely better than heavy load you're trying to keep it from crab walking. Add a couple gussets to each leg you have from top of the caster, to a couple inches on main frame work to keep them from floding up from carrying the weight of cast iron blocks assembled. Which is a considerable amount of weight you're trusting that thin wall tuning with, especially but welded together like it is. Lose one, and it turns over in thst direction, and if it does happen. Do not think that you are King Kong, and try to catch it, because at best you'll do is add additional weight of your ass landing on top of it. If you make extensions to go into the front caster tubing, and then you can make yourself a radiator support to allow you to run one in place. I'm not speaking about using a full size radiator correct for the engines mounted onto the frame of the truck either Something more suited to an old 6 cylinder tractor tall and narrow side to side the same width as your frame is. You're not going to be doggin on it, as tourqe possible could be very bad thing in a setup like that You can check for any and all leaks tune it to bais level, adjust the rack and such as that. You might also build a box for couple batteries, and add a push bar on the back that you can mount full set of gauges main power shut off, a push button starter there as well.

[@kevinoscarson2941]

Lots of v12s left in generators. They sell for below scrap value, unfortunately you must move them.

[@justinm165]

sounds like you need a custom set of 600% over duramax injectors to build a common rail 12V71

[@joshruka4650]

You don't think those heads can be drilled,tapped n pinned to fix those cracks? Cool finds all the way.

[@stansdds]

The wheeled engine stand is a good idea, but that's still one heavy engine. Yes, I agree, your parts V12 is missing one or two parts and some of the parts are toast, but at least you did get some parts you can use.

Hell yea i aint bitching, it was a great haul!

that numbers matching on those 12V's can be a pain in rhe ass that brkt nount compressor is not a happy deal and that water pipe from the water pump to the oil cooler will piss you off when it blows off in a hard pull. Excellent score on lots parts. Last time I priced a block 15000 and crank was 9000.
