ULTIMATE SLEEPER - DETROIT DIESEL TURBO TOW TRUCK AT DIESEL ASSAULT THEME NIGHT

[@jacobmaurin7549]

That Chevy gots a little something something underneath that hood.

[@DragVideosAustralia]

Sneaky Snail

[@brunodemitole2439]

Is 2 stroke?

[@mathman1923]

can you call something a sleeper if it has a detroit in it? It ain't sneaking up on no one

[@VAHOSS]

Jay Groom true! lol......true!

[@possumpopper89]

You ain’t lying!

[@charlescarrillo5337]

That old Chevy sure has character, finally something so cool and unique, instead of another cookie cutter v/8 swap that everybody does, great video!!

[@kendavis6316]

super sweet truck!!

[@jimmychanbers2424]

As the dodge boys would say" put a Cummins in it" lol

[@timmcquerry6068]

Well.. For "Tow-mater" it was Haulin Ass!!!

[@codywade1742]

I just watched this thing get its ass whooped twice.. I have a 1983 bmx I'll race you title for title 😆

[@DragVideosAustralia]

Something you dont see every day at the drags lol

[@user-lm8fx6kc1b]

Hey you ever think about the size of engine and how much that truck weighs, put a gas engine the same size and it not going to do much better

[@303nitzubishi4]

Lots of trashtalk in the comments here; y'all need to consider a couple things. The E/Ts of the other vehicles are similar so he's obviously racing in-class here. The bigger consideration is the TORQUE and what is likely an Allison 6 speed slushbox putting it down. More gears would make a huge difference in keeping the RPMs on-peak. You must also understand that this rig would likely only lose a couple tenths if it was actually towing another vehicle. That's how TORQUE (not horsepower) works

[@robkenna2795]

For its weight and how small the engine is, that thing is a rocketship. Sure it wont beat any modern cars heads up. But if he got the jump on you many cars would take awhile to reel him back in

[@marlborodemoura1377]

Qantuz hp? ?

[@chadbergeron5370]

I specialize with Detroit diesel engines. I love these "little" 2 strokes.

[@dnovello]

Nothing like a Detroit!

[@TheSqeeek]

Very cool truck, but the only thing "sleeper" about it is that anything it races will be asleep by the time it finally catches up.

[@GTLees]

I was a bit surprised when I saw that truck wasn't North American. It looked good, ran well and sounded even better.

[@zackjay71]

To be a sleeper it needs to be fast.

[@djaydeved]

everyone here: its not a sleeper compared to other 453T's it most certanly is damn it edit: it may only run 20's but it still sounds amazing, dose it not?

[@1965Gindy]

Now let's see a GMC Cracker box do it.

[@Grantsimms]

I bet it would run the same time and speed while towing a full size car

[@GTLees]

I wonder how it would go if they took the wrecker body off. That's a whole buncha weight.

[@djaydeved]

@@GTLees atleast put a lightened mid to late 70's ford f350 body on it i mean any unnessesary weight is to be taken out

[@74Dyenamo]

@@djaydeved Why put any Ford parts on it, it's a GM vehicle with a GM engine and most likely an Allison GM transmission?

[@tylerbonser7686]

Not hating but wouldnt call a 19-20 second vehicle a sleeper.

[@jonblais6225]

it's sleeper enough to destroy a teenagers pride of their little ricer at a red light :) . that's all I'd ask from this land boat.

[@tylerbonser7686]

I suppose so

[@bulkforce5]

lol no it won't.

[@tylerbonser7686]

bulkforce5 even for a shitty ricer this thing is slow

[@ROTAXD]

tyler bonser that thing running 18-20's is a big deal, especially considering both it's age and weight. And yes, that will easily beat most of the rices out shitbox civics on the road.

[@darylsmioth1904]

If that was a sleeper it would be turning 12's and not 20 secs.

[@iknowbut1919]

A sleeper that's still asleep

[@BSHuston]

Wow! I've got a 4-53 in the shed.. Here's some motivation!

[@BenjaminEsposti]

+Bradley Huston haha at first I was like "A 4-53? How'd you know it was a 4-53?" then I realized that the license plate says "453TOW" XD

[@TheMetalButcher]

It was definitely a 53 series by the sound, and at least a 4 by the power. I couldn't tell if it was a 4 or a 6 though until the plate.

[@281CubicInchesOfFreedom]

Okay but who just has a 4-53 laying around in their shed?

[@alfbittner6489]

Do you want to sell, is it running. Oh shit your probably in the US.

[@robertnicholson7733]

My brother has one in his boat but not turbo, according to the serial number it was built in the first year of production. When started, it barks into life with a sort of booowwrrr sound. Everyone one in the boat basin knows when he is going out. Apart from the turbo whistle, it sounds pretty much the same as this when running except that the boat has a big, straight through, wet exhaust. Like all Jimmys, it leaks oil! Like many Detroits , if you run it at low revs for a while it builds up oil in the airboxes around the inlet ports, when it is kicked hard, the supercharger blows some of the accumulated oil into the combustion chambers, so lots of noise and smoke. The Detroit and Jimmy diesels were identical, apart from the name and the colour of the paint.

[@user-lm8fx6kc1b]

If anyone thinks that's slow,for a 212" 4 cylinder, engine in a vehicle weighing 8000 lbs that is pretty good.

[@vasiliansotirov6976]

With proper gearing it could be a sleeper.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

Wow!

[@RiggyRonnie]

Mater

[@crashstitches79]

is it called a sleeper because you have time to take a nap before it hits the traps?

[@alfbittner6489]

I need to find this guy 2 stroke is the way to go. Can someone tell me his name and number.

[@majikfuzzybutt7390]

what is the red line RPM for a engine like this??

[@chrisbrandon1111]

like 3,600 RPM for newer diesels, but the older ones like that detroit diesel are just big ass dog's that can pull anything, go any where, and redline at like 3,500 RPM xD

[@Stale_Mahoney]

you mean 2,800 right?

[@vtecpreludevtec]

+ståle starheim sounds 5600 cos its too stroke.

[@Stale_Mahoney]

Mike Berg no rpm is counted on the crankshaft not combustions per minute, but yes it does combust twice as often making it sound like it's hitting higher rpm's then it really does.

[@joshshank3449]

That engine only operates at about 2100 rpm 2500 for a Detroit 2 stroke can reach destruction point.

[@David.Colvin]

the lullaby of a two stoke can put you to sleep or wake the dead !

[@joeschlotthauer840]

It doesn't have a sleeper...

[@undertaker666dead]

You don't assault Diesel. Diesel assaults you.

[@BanCorporateOwnedHouses]

Nothing really sleeper about this. If it made it anywhere under the 15 or even 16 second mark, then I'd be impressed. I mean, I get that it's old as hell, and weights a few tons,, so that IS impressive, but sleeper is a bit of a stretch. With all due respect

[@NPC-mt1cz]

not bad for only 212 cubic inches

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

Very cool look and sound, but the speed of those rear tyres in the burnout looks like the wash cycle of a laundromat

[@josephsmith7438]

by ultimate sleeper, I didn't know you meant put to sleep. Did it even make the teens in the 1/4 wtf?

[@MechRider89]

Not even a little bit a sleeper! A surprise yes but sleeper it definitely is not.

[@citroenzx1968]

Wow

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Allison auto,i say,hear the shifts

[@jakdosen2165]

Theres that word "sleeper" again... What is todays sleeper? a 50's truck with an ultra loud Detroit diesel engine thats not fast and spills out tons of smoke

[@evanliska7384]

453 Detroit diesel

[@Toronto6ix]

that thing is slow asf hows that a sleeper its a piece of shit old rusted truck

[@neodyman]

He needs to get a 6V53

[@netrioter]

It only turned heads by noise mate.....ive seen 4-53 turbo GM cabovers do 15 second times with just injector mods

[@davidkeeton6716]

Not a sleeper. The only sleeper here is the audience. That is an old POS. It's an old, weak slow, tow truck. The driver doesn't understand how the water box works. You don't heat your tires up by doing the burnout in the water. You slightly spin the tires in the water or just roll thru it, then pull out of the water and stop and spin the tires, heating them up. Zzzzz

[@neurocytohemotoxic]

WTF is up with the description dude. That is a TRUCK not car and it definitely weighs more than a couple tons. It's gotta be 7,000 + pounds

[@vtecpreludevtec]

neurocytohemotoxic yea,three tonner
