Runaway 2 Stroke 8V71 Detroit Diesel Engine - 1970s GMC Semi Truck

First start of a 1970s GMC semi truck in 12 years, then the rack is tied at full fuel and the 8V71 Detroit runs away resulting in a fireball.

They were in everything, trains, buses, trucks, construction, powerplants, farm, .... they deserve more respect.. I was raised on these engines, and still have a 6v-92ddec, in a running vehicle... The 8v71 with a turbo, could do 500 horsepower, all day long.. wide open, 2450 rpm at 500 ponies, all day long..they do it in boats every day.. emissions limit the power on land... Just for fun, Google these engines horsepower ratings, under military use.. fuel milage? Really? At 40 tons, nothing above 55mph gets any fuel milage... 5 mpg is not fuel milage.. the turbo, is the trick to these engines, the latter ones, disengaged the blower, when the turbo spooled up, freeing up 100 horsepower, and about 20% better fuel milage. But guys, you are all 3 or 4 dollar a gallon for fuel, junkies.. back in our day, it was 17 cents a gallon.. no one, but a sissy, even mentioned fuel milage... No one cared...

I wasn't surprised that it took that long. Back in the eighties I used to rebuild those engines. They were a sweet running engine oh, that one and the 6V 71. Those and the 855 Cummins were my favorite engines to work on. Naturally aspirated it isn't quite correct. Those old Detroit's had blowers on them plus a turbo. Almost brings a tear to my eye to watch you blow one up on purpose. In the shop we had a piece of plywood always at hand whenever we started up one of those Detroit's after a rebuild, ready to stick it over the turbo inlet, close off the air supply, just in case that thing started to go. They were such high revving engines that I think you could make a good race truck with one of them old Detroit's

Yeah it looked like a twin scroll super charger on top there.

@@PlmbrProtctsTheNtion not sure what you mean in context to my comment. I was just agreeing that I thought I observed a supercharger as well. Relevant to the comment in the video about the engine being naturally aspirated.

[@metalmusicbs6868]

It is naturally aspirated, and that's a blower not a supercharger. It's naturally aspirated because it's required for the engine to run. It only is a supercharger on gas engines or engines that don't need them to run. Hence super charging them

[@furyfantoo]

Naturally-aspirated means the engine injests intake air at atmospheric pressure. Turbocharged and supercharged engines use the devices to pressurize the intake air, to increase engine power by providing more mass of air, which can then allow the engine to burn more fuel and make more power from the same engine displacement.

What's so fucking funny dillweed

[@moos5221]

Hm, as a foreigner I'm unsure of what runaway really means, but I assume it's a point where for some reason you can't stop the engine from going full RPM, right? When I was young I crashed my Oldmobile Bravada, think it had a 4,7 L V6. It was only mildly damaged in the front and was still running fine, so I drove home after the crash. I was kind of horrified when I left the highway where I had floored the gas (the only way to get that old tank moving) and the engine kept going full throttle even though I lifted my foot of the gas pedal. I pushed on the brakes which slowed me down somewhat, but the engine still kept pushing. I hammered the gas pedal a couple times and got whatever was stuck unstuck and the engine returned to normal...but that was quite the additional adrenelin kick, as if I hadn't had enough that night already...

I drive a desiel for a living with over a million miles under my belt, the more complex, the more I'm on the side of the highway, close to once per month on average, 9 out of 10 times its emission controls. The only thing that has "advanced" is emission controls and high pressure fuel delivery causing more trouble than it's worth by a LONG shot. There is no such thing as a free lunch, guys are now pulling frames from junkyards and building trucks from scratch just to stay away from the "advancements".

It's at 9887 hours on the tach (Which is original) and hasn't needed a rebuild yet. It probably makes something in the low 100's for torque and probably about 30hp, but it still runs great. It's power to weight ratio isn't great (it's naturally aspirated), it's good on fuel and it's really really loud, but that doesn't matter because it's tough and dependable, unlike today's modern crap.

I get a kick out of videos man, good job. In the 80s i was a wrench on over the road tractors. I had a Foreman that took me under his wing. Ive learned alot from him.

Those who ever experienced one gettin away, not to mention inside a shop. The sound is almost horrifying. All in all, i still love to hear a Detroit with the blowers. Those were the days.

[@joerobinson3878]

That engine didn't "run away", it was just held wide open til she blew. It wouldn't have lasted that long, and would have had more RPM'S if that were the case. I'd say it was a pretty good engine to go as long as it did.

[@sniperdoug1969]

jamie johnson not sure what state your in but if you take a vehicle that is working as designed and can pass a standard safety inspection. You can use it as designed. Just like my 72 550 Kawasaki 2 stroke ram air motorcycle. It works as it was designed and in Missouri as long as the lights all work and the blinkers blink and the stop and headlight works my title says exempt from emissions because they did not do exhaust emissions test when it was built. That 550 2 stoke is a demon though. I regularly ride sport bikes, well I used two before I lost the use of my legs anyway, will flat out haul ass. But it has skinny on the back that break loose when you get on it below 30 miles an hour. Below 20 mph it will swap ends with ya quick. Fun as hell to ride but a total death trap. My father restored a 49 ford pickup truck back to original. It passes inspection without seat belts. It also did not have a traditional blinker system on it per say. Yet it is exempt from emissions inspection and although it did not have blinkers when it came out of the factory standard. You could order a blinker system to wire into the flasher system. A lot of 40s and 50s grain trucks are used in my area. They had a bench seat, a stick shift, no seatbelts, yet they had a damn fine , don’t quote me on this 335 ci engine. They lasted forever.
