New discoveries INSIDE my 12.7L Detroit engine.

[@JCST1529]

I've been running a 600 horse tune in GK models for many years. Never a problem.

[@realwildwildwest]

That’s so great to hear! Thanks for sharing that. I drive super easy with these tuned up Detroits, I am hoping we ll ne a good match.

[@johndean2925]

You can check the rings 10 times and even use a check list, but you still wake up at night thinking you need to check one more time before you put the engine together :>). Same with timing marks!!! That initial start is exciting, but also stressful!!! Still nothing smells better than a warm engine freshly rebuilt after shutting it down. The new rubber hoses, fresh paint and new belt(s) have a unique aroma that not many people get to experience. Great video!!!

Learn something new everyday! Ole Joel is a wealth of knowledge. You’ve got to be so thankful to have him in your corner. Gonna be one solid diesel engine when you’re done, just like the others he’s done. Safe trucking out there ole son

[@FL.AirBoater]

Jaxson, You have one of the best trucking KZbin channels there is out there, Most of them you can check out their full of B/S, Like hearing you sing every so often, I’m a retired trucker w/o 3. Million miles from central Fl. young man, Keep doing what you’re doing!!!❤

[@realwildwildwest]

Why thank you sir :) appreciate it! 3 million!! Thanks amazing. Legend status right there!

[@cameronmiller9609]

I love be able to learn from your videos. Driving since 18 and always learning!

[@Deryl-n9y]

Great video guy's. Also, enjoy Joe's knowledge and great attitude. It's the little things you know that can make a big difference. I'm looking forward to more build video.

[@kranz19]

Really appreciate these more in depth videos about the series 60

[@realwildwildwest]

Awesome man. Did you see the long form overhaul videos we did a couple years ago ? Lots of good overhaul footage there as well.

[@kranz19]

​@realwildwildwest i did watch it. I learned a lot would like to rebuild a series 60 myself sonetime soon

[@garymessina1609]

Great video thanks Jax and Joe

[@mcd5082]

Great videos especially when Joel’s in them! Super cool

[@CravingSimplicity]

Love these Detroit vids. Always good info

[@travisstoneking4049]

Wish I was a little closer to you guys I would have Joe over haul my n14. Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼

[@realwildwildwest]

He’s the guy for sure!

[@robertengster5643]

What a great find in joseph cool dude. You two are good buddies.

[@realwildwildwest]

Yeah it’s been a fun ride with him!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

The beard is back!! ✊ I'm looking forward to more of this engine build 😊👍

[@realwildwildwest]

Doesn’t he look so good with a beard?!

[@JoshsTruckingadventures]

This is where having oil analysis can help save an engine too. Knowing whatever’s metals show when. I know guys who are doing 200k plus mile oil changes from sending their oil out every 25k miles. Adding make up oil brings the base back up and saves money. Detroits are great. But the bk block is the best you can get for sure.

[@Josephboley81211]

Hello there Mr Jax. Hope you and the family had a great thanksgiving 🦃🦃

[@michaelmclachlan4278]

Good, good, solid people ! Awesome

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

Joe the Detroit wizard

[@mikeshannon5434]

Great video.

[@AirJockey100]

I’m working my way through “steady at the wheel” looks like there isn’t anything being uploaded on that channel anymore? I’m a round the clock trucker in Ohio, hauling ag products!

[@davidcolesr.8628]

I hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving, it’s Good to See You Fella’s

[@alviney5138]

keep your eyes wide open for the next Detroit

[@barry2062]

You should look up Flint Creek Transport in ny he love his cat motors and might have a or Detroit to sell you never know if you don’t ask

[@vicpetrishak7705]

If the aftermarket piston liners were crosshatched honed beforehand hardening it would not show much wear .

[@joeyhollins9531]

Have you considered keeping the Cummins?

[@cantwellron11]

Good deal = smiling JOE SOUTH AUSTRALIA

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

Smokey Joe!!!

[@ruston723]

Joe what can you tell me about a 2006 ddec v says 12.7 but it has the plug in injectors like a 14L has. put a injector wiring harness in seems to have fixed my codes

[@sparkyofsocal]

There at the start of the first few minutes had me worried a little bit. I didn’t think Joe was going to get a chance to talk.

[@donnellmuhammad870]

Been hauling tankers for 25 years, how long would it take to learn how to drive livestock?

[@realwildwildwest]

Learning the mind of a cow can take several years. With a good mentor, you’d become decent after a year, then the following several years you learn more and more as you go. Just hard to find someone who is willing to teach someone from scratch as it is a lot of work.

[@joeysharp7786]

Is that block better then the newer ones

[@realwildwildwest]

Good question. They say the MK block is the best, this is my second gk.block, but the other one had oiler nozzles. I think in the end it’s more about the care you take care of your machine.

[@launceherron]

Awesome

[@karljacobson1575]

i have a 2000 12.7 detroit. oil temperature runs 200 degrees consistently. is that too high ?? or because it cools the pistons???? just wondering if cooler is shot or what?????

[@realwildwildwest]

No, nothing wrong with 200. That’s plenty cool. 👍🏼

[@karljacobson1575]

@ thanks for replying. sounds good then!! enjoy your channel….

[@jdatwhiterocks]

Nothing worse than sticking a leg outa bed 😂

[@drivingwithnate6193]

OH-IO Joe representing Ohio

[@jameshassel5838]

So what your saying. The last owner operator was broke an tried to rebuild it himself.

[@realwildwildwest]

It appears to me a mix match of parts that’s for sure!

[@johnniemayfield9510]

A guy that believes in Detroits is Gentey and Son has a KZbin channel ,

[@michaelmiller2845]

Get a ddc4 don't waste your time and money on that ddc3 if you do use nothing but genuine Detroit parts and keep it low horse power because them pistons will snap at the top believe me bother I know from experience $$$$$ the hard way good luck

[@realwildwildwest]

I’m gonna take really good care of it and I think it’ll treat me good. You were probably whipping tar out of yours so it blew up 🤣 JK just kidding LOL This block has made it this far and looks great. I have a feeling it’ll be ok so long as I keep up my easy driving habits.
