1979 model 6-71 Detroit Diesel engine run away and tear down.
Intro: 0:00 - 1:48
Getting Truck Ready: 1:48 - 9:22
Runaway: 9:22 - 15:34
Tear Down: 15:34 - 24:36
The pre-runaway speech was beautiful, 10/10.
Can confirm. “It’s just a piece of shit.”
Speech was brilliant. Totally worth the wait
It was excellent!!! Lol
👏👏👏👏👏
Could not have said it any better. Encore.
I really enjoy how you rip apart the engine to figure out what caused the failure! Oh ya and your meticulous disassembly of the truck and engine! Nicely done!
I read this before I watched. I was really expecting him to methodically think about what he was doing. Nah. Yank the motor and rip the cab off in minuts
Surprisingly no haters saying you destroyed a perfectly working engine.
And yet... that is what he did.
I've loving the new starting method....but geez, if that chain breaks, lookout everything in it's path!
I was thinking the same thing, right into his shop and a few good pieces of equipment parked at the front door.
Its a forged link log chain. Its not breaking.
I was wondering if it was possible to pick up a gear when in runnaway. That would have been entertaining!
@@StreuB1 It's from Acme.
Pretty sure he did it like that cause the starter signed out
The hands down best content creator on KZhead. No bs, no fancy giveaways, just old school ways of doing things. Love it, don’t ever change!
This guy is KZhead gold!
It's old school KZhead
Yeah! The other guys you have to have sponsor block turned on. So annoying. Not this guy!
Yeah this dude is king
@@Flexin010 I thought adblockers don't work in KZhead or any Google services. They're working really hard to outlaw them all over the platform.
My neighbors nephew could have used that truck to get back and forth from school, he's studying to be an astronaut. He lost both his arms in a combine accident and cant work anymore to afford a ride, so this truck would have really helped him out. I guess you big fancy KZheadrs don't know how hard things can be for us little folk.
And on top of all that, he kicked my dog!
Wait wot m8?
And gotdamnit, stay away from my fucking barbecue!
Oh for the love of God!!! Boo hoo!!
Oh, boo motherfuckin hoo. that thing was on the last part of its life, get over it.
I'm amazed at how well four cylinders survived after that amount of heat and WOT.
Heat or lubrication were not the root cause of the failure with this one. It was simply metal fatigue from over revving. ☠️
Ol Bastards are tougher than one may realize. In my wrenching days, Detroits were very common. And many were a pain in the recktal region. Nice video!
Not gonna lie. I absolutely LOVE the sound of a Detroit 2 stroke.
Sounded like 5k rpm or more
me too....it sounded great!
@@Bignardo18 those straight 6L runaways are more likely in the 6k maybe 7k range of rpm’s. Lots of balance in that bottom end compared to the 8V/12V/16V engines.
Yep. I have mine, and the more they blow them up, the more rare mine becomes.
Yeah when it's not trying to run away. I like for people to preserve these types of engines. There's not many of these relics left. the truck itself in this one is complete garbage, but the engine was salvageable.
Honestly just looks like you’re having to much fun, and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
Time for a beer and some destruction
You've been nominated for a Emmy in two categories. Best goodbye speech and best post-mortem.
I believe that Detroit 2 strokes should be saved... In trucks that are worth saving. That thing was a piece of junk. Great show to watch and certain bit of satisfaction knowing that it still held up for anytime at all under those conditions. Always love watching how you get those darn things out of the frame.
“Didn’t land any troops on the beaches of Normandy” that had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Dude, we've missed you!!!
I agree I was very happy to see a new video
Seriously
Right tho I was beginning to wonder if he gave up on the tube
almost everyday I come and see if anything fresh uploaded
Same
I love the way you one man started it. If I had old junk like this I'd be doing the exact same thing.
Very slick push start, bravo!
An ingenious way for a man to push start a truck for sure !
Hearing that 671 run brought back bad memories. Now I will have to go to therapy.
As much as I like seeing old diesels tear themselves apart, that speech was AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time.
667,010 miles on the clock!! The thing for sure served its purpose!
This would give what’s her face Greta, some joy. Going out in a blaze of glory. Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.
i keep telling him to sneak up to her house in the middle of the night and do this same thing there
@xbug1 Kiss Greta 💋 right on the lips and I don't mean the ones on the face 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had an injector stick on a brand new Detroit 60 series motor. Drove it from Ruse, Bulgaria to Kaiserslautern, Germany and it didn’t let go. Drained the oil when I got back and there was about 20+ gallons of fuel/oil mix in the pan
DONE THAT MINE TURNED OFF COMPUTER WITH 30 GALLONS IN CRANKCASE
I was stationed near Kaiserslautern on Rhine Ordinance Barracks never drank, screw or drove faster in my life. We were the people.ypur parents warned you about over there.
Loved the delicate and respectful autopsy of the cab and donk 😄
Every time i thought it was gonna finally blow it didnt, just kept going. Incredible really
Is it possible for the next runaway to setup an RPM meter??? That would be way cool!!! The thing sounds like a jet engine, ready to take off!!!
interesting :/
Or a speedometer then leave the wheels up in the air
So I did some bad math. I noticed the main sound frequency the engine is throwing out is about 698 Hz, or theoretically 698 exhaust pulses per second. Multiply that by 60 for pulses per minute, divide that by 6 for 6 cylinders, and you'll get about 6980 exhaust pulses per minute. And since it's a 2 stroke, that means it's 6980 RPM, and because each cylinder has a power stroke each revolution (vs every other like a 4 stroke), it sounds like a 4 stroke running at 13960 RPM. I don't think I've ever wanted diesel nascar more than right now tbh. I could be completely wrong, who knows. It feels right though.
@@supertoaster94 Love me an educated comment.
@@supertoaster94 My guess would be *maybe* 3k-3500 at the most
That is AWESOME!!! I could only imagine how that sounds in person.
the way you started that thing was pure genius
Thank you for your service sir ,you let that old boy go out in style!
Gotta be an old 16 cylinder locomotive motor sitting around nearby ready for one last go around.
At first I was thinking "Oh, what a cool truck", then saw its old and ragged out. Probably the most valuable parts of that truck are the fifth wheel hitch and what's left in the fuel tank. (With current fuel prices.) It's definitely worth more as scrap weight.
If it went anywhere it would be to the back of a different field, may as well get some education out of it.
@@laa0fa502 *EDUCATION*... FFS!!.... But, guess it suits the *I/Q of their hat size* mob.. D'OH!!!
@@johnhhinton5473 you're very fired up. I'd go to the doctor before your heart gives out big dawg
@@laa0fa502 Fk him.
Great commentary and an interesting bit of internal combustion history !!!!
i love how you engaged the transmission! I was in stitches!
Fuck yeah man! Glad to see you back. We’ve missed the hell outta ya!
Hell yeah!! Welcome back! Where ya ben?
Thank you for not posting "first"
I gotta tell you. I worked on these pieces of junk many years. I often wished I could have done this many times. This was a very satisfying video! Thank you! What happens is the collets on the valves fail and then the valves fall into the cylinders.
@@boggemon33 No it has no intake valves. Just ports in the liners. It fires on every stroke
@@markp0752 He worked on them for years, and didn't know? Impressive...
@@ami2evil two strokers!
@@markp0752 The other guy must have deleted his comment, I can't see it..
@@ami2evil However *LOTS* of exhaust valves, which are quite capable of having a confrontation with a piston if/when the collets fall out....
Glad to see you're still kicking, haven't heard from you in a while thought I was going to have to make a checkup call.
Man I love to see it. Every time you post its a good day.
thank god he’s still posting. good to see ya
I love that screaming diesel sound. Awesome
I love your roll start!!
Damn. Do you know how many new GM cars were hauled to the dealerships with those low horsepower POS. It didn't matter. When you are making Union Scale. You got paided for everything. Plus got to sleep in a motel room every night. That was one of the best jobs in a American back in the Day. Back when American was really Great. 🇺🇸👍😎
I've been putting it out into the universe for you to upload, my wishes have been granted!!
Always learn something new when watching your videos. Keep them going.
I love how you were like “no farmer wants to haul grain to the river in this. Matter of a fact there’s two farmers here. Do any of you wanna use this piece of shit to haul grain. Negative/hell no. They’re out.” Haha that’s great I love detroits but you’re right no feelings all worth the same as scrap. Keep sending it
Me: that truck doesn't look that bad Me after 1:33: Holy fuck
I enjoy seeing runaways
Seriously cannot get enough of this
That speech was honestly amazing!
Never clicked on a video so fast before, good too see you again!
DUDE! GENIUS PUSH START! It comes with a key that you turn that will start the truck. You’re welcome! 🤪 We’ve missed your crazy ass! Great to see another video brother.
That SOB is mint! Good job!
Man those rods are solid!
Never seen a solo bump start like that before.
Awesome video sir thanks for sharing it
Crazy how people react to other people having fun, keep up the good content
Your push start method is brilliant.
This channel is amazing more runaway truck diesel content I love this stuff more tire burnouts thanks
Love these videos, thanks for posting it. Amazing how long those old Detroits will run in death-mode-enabled. Impressive.
Now show me a Cat or Cummins running at 2x its max HP rpm and see how many seconds it lasts.
Love the videos as usual, Thanks again.
Here comes another episode of mayhem!!! cant wait!!!
Great to see you back!! Having a blast blowing up a "perfectly good antique" green grenade lol!! This one sounded pretty wild. Maybe a little sniff of propane would get a bit more RPM ha ha!!
Still one of my favorite folks on this time wasting app. Thanks for taking the time to entertain!!!
Nice, was looking forward to another one of these!
I love your videos so much. Your dry sense of humor keeps me rolling 😂😂. Thank you. Your rebuilds are absolutely beautiful to watch but love your work hard play hard attitude. Hope you have a great 4th.
Missed your content man! Glad to see you back! Happy 4th of July!
As a farmer looking for a cheap single screw day cab, I approve of this video. You could write it off as educational and still scrap it.
Pop started various vehicles in many ways, but that chain start is a Hoot! Must have lots of faith in that chain ⛓️
It is amazing they run as long as they do.
My thought also 👍
Glad to know you’re alive. Enjoyed the belt flying at ya lol. Hope all is well hand.
the sound was crazy on video, cant begin to imagine how it was standing out with it.
I enjoy your vids so much more just because your brutally honest about things
i literally laugh my ass of during ur vids because ur smart ass humor never ends. you never disappoint KT. 👍👍👍👍
That’s absolutely the crazy way I ever see anyone push start a truck. Love it man. Keep up the great content
What??
Loved the speech,enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Love you break down the engine afterwards.
Happy to see another one of your science experiments man! Hope to see another one soon!
I seen a lot of young guys break into driving on these piles. I seen where those engines did a days work... running air compressors on drill rigs. I worked for a guy who had gambling fever, so he would drill a pit for someone, take that money and bet the horses. He would catch two or more hundred dollar place but never the big payouts. I didn't have anything better to do... he is saying if it will just bore a few more holes, I will get back on top again... I made it run and had old engine oil from other rigs changes... just kept it in oil.... I will be dipped in owl poop, that sorry engine kinda tightened up and started running good for what ever reason. I tried hard to get him to sell it while there was a dollar to be made but nope an I told him that that last engine was the last save, no more. It ran great for a few weeks... we had walked down from the pit to eat in the shade, he had left it running. I was just taking a bite of cold food (tastes better than nothing) and seen some white smoke a curling in the air... he was going to run up and try to shut it down but I just hung onto him... and just when I was about to second guess myself, that motor made the god awfullest sound and ran against the governor not more than a couple minutes and then "Bang".... no more tuning on that crap hole that left you black walking by it.
Sweet story, thanks
Glad your back!!
Kt man id love to see you put out more content man your shits amazing and your very knowledgeable and could go far doing this!
we had a 1977 Detroit Deisel and it survived 2 runaways at 6000 rpm. it finally died last year. we pulled it apart and it had thrown a rod. (not out the block mind you.) had signs of piston/valve contact on cylinder 4 3 and 6. and a snaped valve spring on cylinder 1. but surviving two diesel runaways? that thing was a trooper
Always very informative watching your videos along with the colorful use of words to describe everything. One of the best, if not the best channel for my viewing pleasure on KZhead.
do u also watch AvE he is funny
Badass vid. Sweet to see the tear down after
Just found your channel today. Big fan
Some more of this a little more often would be great !
Cool man I look forward to watching the videos you’re going to make to fill in the gaps!
Modified and tested by KT? Way to go 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Amazing that held together that well!!
Hey KT is my initials
What a way to pull the driveline! Good content on your videos
i love your dry sense of humor its brilliant :)
Heck yes finally a video. We all know it will be epic. Just hit the like button before watching because it’s will never a good one. Happy 4th of July
Heese disrepectin tha troops that landed at normandy with those motors
I'd say she had a few more hours of standard operating time left. Testament to the old Detroit engines 👌
best runnaway vid yet!
That bump starting manoeuvre at the start was awesome! 🤣
By the way that engine was singing, i thought for sure she was gonna sling a rod through the block and to the heavens but it stayed together for the most part. She was trying tho 😂😂
Amazed me.
Man! An old M&G Convoy truck. Hauling new cars to the dealership. My dad drove one of these trucks for years. I fondly remember riding in these trucks as a kid. I can remember going to the yard where there were about 30-50 of these things parked.
The little talk before the engine was so funny wow I love this channel
The way you started that truck was pure genius 👏 😂
My grandfather had a truck like that, 79 Bruin T/A dump truck, I loved it even though it sat until he sold it recently, This video pains me to the point of tears
Damn bro I feel your pain
Some people shoot off fireworks for the 4th, these boys blow up engines. Thanks for some great carnage and content. Best $10 worth of diesel I have seen used.
Brutal, love it keep up the good work. Film a rebuild I live watching you do that.
Great show and eval afterwards
