Nothing sounds as cool as the old detroits. The sound and smell are unmistakable. They bring back sweet memories of being on the road with Dad when I was young.
Seeing two young men in old Ford especially one with a 2 stroke makes me proud! Most youngsters I see have a riced out civic withe the tires cambered out.
I absolutely love my 96 F-150 with the 300 i6 and the 5 speed manual, and I'm only 20. I don't like cars, but love trucks. I plan on having an old dodge power wagon with a Detroit in it.
If he thought that was revved up, he's led a sheltered life. That engine was designed to SCREAM! I hate hearing it lug, hope you still have this truck, I'd kill to have one like it.
A good freiend of mine put a 353 Jimmy in his 1968 Ford pickup with a 5 speed. Top speed was only 65 mph but he could pull his 26 ft. vacation trailer over Snoqualmie Pass in direct drive. He got 26 mpg with it too. I drove it and it wasn't gutless.
That red button wasnt an aux. He had his jake hooked up to it. and even an aux. amount to enough unless he put a MUCH taller set of gears in the rear end and used the aux. for the low side. Either way at the end of the day, its still a ford, an its not a cat...aint much but is what it is lol
Source Grodie IKR? He keeps saying “ oh that whistle tho, from far this sounds like a ricer, you turn your jakes on for fun huh?, that lady looked at me like...”, bro stop already, he’s busy driving.
I really enjoyed this video. It took me back 15 years ago when I was able cruise around with friends. After you turn 30 and have kids things just change. Awesome video and awesome truck.
Two smells I love in this world. Diesel and 2-Stroke. Listen to that 2-stroke free wheel. I wouldn't mind swapping my 5.9L Cummins with that Detroit 2-stroker.
Joe John the only place I know you can get a full 453t engine remade is us diesel remanufacturing llc. We got our engine from them but it costs 12,300 unfortunately, but they make it brand new and it’s top quality, same sound tho. I wanted to get jakes installed but I can’t find any.
Just found this video again after watching it 4-5yrs ago, still gives me goosebumps hearing this thing… Still have my 93’ K2500 from High School, hoping one day to pull the 6.5L and do this exact swap. Oh, And Hope you still have this truck!!!
can't beat the Detroit for sound. but you can't beat the cummins for power. this engine stock will only generate 180-200 HP max. its definitely a awesome job done though. im also glad to see him build a FORD
6v53t is the one to get honestly, such a narrow power band on these engines it is hard to tow over 5t without a 10spd. 6v53t makes about 30% more power and torque, and is a 6cly so better for boost
@@strawberryroan1941 the fact your rig has lasted that many miles must mean you're really good at shifting properly! Yes I'm bored driving anything with an automatic
3:05 "This thing is very loud" Oh, really? You don't say... Dang dude, you got my dream ride right there. I'm trying to enjoy this amazing video whilst that silly goose that is sittin' there next to you keeps talking... Still respect bro, that is a bitchin' ride.
It's the perfect teenager vehicle.. loud so you always know when they are leaving or getting home, good sounding and is fun to drive, but not fast enough to really break the speed limit or kill yourself with. (unless you rolled it)
Gotta love the 2 stroke Detroit’s. No power, but they’re fun to drive. I use to run a tomato hauler with an 8v53 and it’s was a blast until pulling the grades lol. Don’t ever sell that truck, it’s way too damn cool.
Here is a trick when running stop light to stop light .. throttle up till she gets the Rapp sound ( 2 cycle diesels do that) then slip clutch in say third then dump off clutch... then stand on it!!!! sit back and hold on!!! 17 year truck driver long haul exp.. got to love 2 cycle Detroit's!!!
In other words just do a third gear boost launch and completely smoke the clutch right out of Er! Lol not a good idea. The clutch for this is probably really expensive to replace
I love the evil sound of this truck... Id love to have one like it .. I can just imagine how quickly I would piss off my neighborhood just putting out with it.... 😂
I've looked and saw your running 3.53's. Are there any gears to make it go a little faster? Also is this that D70 rear ended or whatever? I'd like to build one in my last years of high school.
I was at a trucking show back a few years ago and found the Detroit Diesel booth. I asked the kid/young man when did DD get away from the blowers. He had no idea what I was talking about. He asked if I were inquiring about turbos. Nope. Blowers.
Very cool swap into your truck. You are running a Clark 5 speed? What is the axle ratio? I miss my ‘78 for sure, and I’d love to find a solid 1 ton to do a similar swap.
555 Cummins is a good engine but the old Detroit are good to i put a 555 cummins in our service truck and I am putting a 6v53 Detroit in a 79 chevy k2500 and have many other detroits in our trenchers and other equipment they are very dependable engines
what do u rev it to tanner, its sounds like its over 2500rpm they sound so cool. is that stock rpm or is it hopped up. I drive semis for 30 ys remember hot rodding the 475 silver...8v 92ta we put 110 injectors v12 fuel pump& overdriven blower then we would remove that orifice off the rack to prevent black smoke. man they would lay rubber. I have a 81 gm 3/4 ton 4x4 it would b perfect for a 453.
Joe Nichol Yeah its def over 2500 hah. Around 3200. I have the specs on my other videos description. Its not stock by any means. I threw that fuel modulator thing in the trash.
I've always wondered about putting a Detroit diesel in a pickup. What kind of economy do you get? Is the little detroit better than the big powerstroke in terms of mpg? Does it tow alright? It sounds like you have a turbo on there as well.
u should put that to work a 1 ton truck scap, um supplies for a contractor and that. i may yet change out my 84 6.9 1 ton rollback to a detroit. idk. i di love and have a lot if knowledge of the 6.9. . nice rig you've got alittle to learn about it yet but yea .
what about diff gear ratio. it sounds like its geared almost perfect. u say its got a fuller 6206, whats it out of. is it a 8 speed? I think id like t start collecting parts...nice job.
Did he really just say a detroit sounds like a ricer? What the fuck are you smoking??
It is a two cycle< we used to cal the 318s a double breasted yamaha !
Truck needs an eject button to jettison the annoyance to the right of the driver.
Ejecto cuz
Nothing sounds as cool as the old detroits. The sound and smell are unmistakable. They bring back sweet memories of being on the road with Dad when I was young.
Me to 27 now and my dad used to be a Detroit micanike love the sound of these old beuteys
Me too. My grandfather had a trucking company and had previously been a GM employee. He had wall to wall DD.
Awesome truck, but home boy in the right seat would have been walking back home the minute he told me my Detroit sounded like a ricer.
lol
Lmao! No doubt
amen
Guy didn't consider it was a two stroke AND a four cylinder.
That Detroit is pure American. Get outta my truck!
Seeing two young men in old Ford especially one with a 2 stroke makes me proud! Most youngsters I see have a riced out civic withe the tires cambered out.
That's gonna be me someday!!!
I absolutely love my 96 F-150 with the 300 i6 and the 5 speed manual, and I'm only 20. I don't like cars, but love trucks. I plan on having an old dodge power wagon with a Detroit in it.
The guy in passenger seat has a Honda Civic lowered at this guy's house.
j jones I got a 86 Ford F-150 302 engine with 4 speed manual, and it’s my work truck for my Fox’s Lawn Service
A gayed out civic, you have no idea how many of those I see on the daily
If he thought that was revved up, he's led a sheltered life. That engine was designed to SCREAM! I hate hearing it lug, hope you still have this truck, I'd kill to have one like it.
Lose the tool in the passenger seat.
Lol
If fuel efficiency was measured in decibels per gallon, this would be the most fuel efficient vehicle on the planet!!!
cool
smiles per gallon
Forget the mpg i could listen to that all day.
yeah man
Mike Tunstall
Detroit 2 stroke converts diesel fuel into music.
Love the truck. Very nice work. Your passenger needed to put a sock in it, though.
He doesn't understand the beauty.
A good freiend of mine put a 353 Jimmy in his 1968 Ford pickup with a 5 speed. Top speed was only 65 mph but he could pull his 26 ft. vacation trailer over Snoqualmie Pass in direct drive. He got 26 mpg with it too. I drove it and it wasn't gutless.
You need a two speed auxiliary and a new passenger...
Lol!
That red button wasnt an aux. He had his jake hooked up to it. and even an aux. amount to enough unless he put a MUCH taller set of gears in the rear end and used the aux. for the low side. Either way at the end of the day, its still a ford, an its not a cat...aint much but is what it is lol
We all have that one friend...
Fantastic rig.
I got a 67 Ford F-350 with the Detroit 453t that was put in it in the 80s it sounds amazing
I love it. Who needs a radio with such power!
love the truck but your buddy just needs to be quiet
Source Grodie IKR? He keeps saying “ oh that whistle tho, from far this sounds like a ricer, you turn your jakes on for fun huh?, that lady looked at me like...”, bro stop already, he’s busy driving.
Get lost they're having fun. Clearly something you people are incapable of.
@Creamapera Too bad for you. Get over yourself.
Yeah because you stay totally silent when you're out with your buddies having fun? GTFO here 🤣

D-"Let me sing you the song of my people" *starts driving*
P-"This thing is very loud"
D-*Jettison's passenger* "Your walking."
That kids literally a walking CZcams comment lol
Your buddy forgot the credo,
Sit Down, Shut Up, an Hold On!
Geez there’s some serious play in the wheel
Next time leave the tool sitting beside u in the shed
453T with jakes that's amazing rare as hell
I would drive this truck everywhere all the time and never, ever get tired of the sound. Ye gods man!
In my climate I’d need to mount a Cosby Sauce injection system.
Beautiful sounds! Would love to have seen a shot of the truck itself and that engine bay!
its not obnoxious...ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!! MURICA!!!!
upon further viewing, i feel you should kick your boy out the machine.
Just found this video again after watching it 4-5yrs ago, still gives me goosebumps hearing this thing…
Still have my 93’ K2500 from High School, hoping one day to pull the 6.5L and do this exact swap. Oh, And Hope you still have this truck!!!
I have a 453t atom smasher on my 75 dodge 3/4 ton.
Seems like your passenger is enjoying himself too much, he keeps staring back at you and talking too much 😂🤣
nice truck love detroit diesels and nice taste in music
Reminds me of a time when American power was all mechanical with no computers. Some of the good old days were better.
I love the sound that the engine makes.There is nothing like those 2 cycle detroit diesels !!!
Leave your brother in law home next time. Truck sounds good.
Aside from the ricer comment
This is the most American sounding video on CZcams
Detroit 4-53t
Metallica
It's great.
Perfect match nice ford beautiful motor can't beat the sound of a Detroit
Love the truck, sounds great. Wouldn't want to do an all day trip though, at least not without ear plugs.
can't beat the Detroit for sound. but you can't beat the cummins for power. this engine stock will only generate 180-200 HP max. its definitely a awesome job done though. im also glad to see him build a FORD
Va HOSS and don't forget the Cats are know of their Jake Break
the 4-53t makes about ~440 lb ft of torque though
Also 200hp is being fired twice as often as a cummins so thats something to note too.
Er no! Still 200 HP, but a shit load of torque. I love 2 stroke diesels though! Sounds beautiful.
6v53t is the one to get honestly, such a narrow power band on these engines it is hard to tow over 5t without a 10spd. 6v53t makes about 30% more power and torque, and is a 6cly so better for boost
DON'T CLUTCH IT IN FLOAT THEM IN
bad idea in synchronized transmissions
@@strawberryroan1941 I've heard it can be bad for the synchros, but that's just what I've read.
@@strawberryroan1941 the fact your rig has lasted that many miles must mean you're really good at shifting properly! Yes I'm bored driving anything with an automatic
Mama Mia, this sounds better than my 1985 Alfa Spider !
Stop using the clutch man float those gears!!!!! Nice sound on the diesel!!!
Nice video dude I like the music in the background
3:05 "This thing is very loud" Oh, really? You don't say...
Dang dude, you got my dream ride right there.
I'm trying to enjoy this amazing video whilst that silly goose that is sittin' there next to you keeps talking...
Still respect bro, that is a bitchin' ride.
phuckin bad ass truck brother! OUTSTANDING and original!!
2 stroke Detroit and metallica. Great combination. Truck is great man, needs a new passenger tho.
Real man shifts witout the clutch
Real man doesn't have an anime profile picture so whats your point?
@@colescarstuff7102 dont u insult mi wife
It's about smiles per gallon! :)
just beautiful!
this truck sounds amazing I wanna put a detroit in my 72 ford now
Blip your throttle on the downshift so you match revs, amazingly well engineered truck!!!
That thing just sounds sooooooo goood!
Love this truck. Can you do some cold starts with this view? It sounds incredible
It's the perfect teenager vehicle.. loud so you always know when they are leaving or getting home, good sounding and is fun to drive, but not fast enough to really break the speed limit or kill yourself with. (unless you rolled it)

Love Detroit Diesels!
Passenger needs to shut up.
IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO METALLICA, I WOULD PUT MY CD IN MY CD PLAYER BUT I WANT TO HEAR THAT DETROIT ENGINE
2:05 lugging the hell out of that 2 stroke.
Gotta love the 2 stroke Detroit’s. No power, but they’re fun to drive. I use to run a tomato hauler with an 8v53 and it’s was a blast until pulling the grades lol. Don’t ever sell that truck, it’s way too damn cool.
Awesome truck, but you sure won`t be sneaking up on anyone with it. ha ha
thats one of them trucks you take care of and just keep it...i want it myself
I've always thought of putting a Detroit 453t in a Ford f250 I must do that some day because they make good rigs.
Here is a trick when running stop light to stop light .. throttle up till she gets the Rapp sound ( 2 cycle diesels do that) then slip clutch in say third then dump off clutch... then stand on it!!!! sit back and hold on!!! 17 year truck driver long haul exp.. got to love 2 cycle Detroit's!!!
In other words just do a third gear boost launch and completely smoke the clutch right out of Er! Lol not a good idea. The clutch for this is probably really expensive to replace
+Ron Perrin it would wrap the frame rails around the bellhousing before it slipped this clutch. it wasn't that bad. around 450$ if I remember right
That was some mighty sweet music you played there.
And the Metallica wasn't bad either. ;)
Right on guys cool truck!
I love the evil sound of this truck... Id love to have one like it .. I can just imagine how quickly I would piss off my neighborhood just putting out with it.... 😂

Very sweet ride!!!
Tanner, nice post. I'm getting ready to put a353 in a 1979 chevy 4X4 with a turbo 400 trans what RPMs are you running?
Awesome truck
Cool setup
Never seen a two speed button used for that, but it works!
I was at a trucking show back a few years ago and found the Detroit Diesel booth.
I asked the kid/young man when did DD get away from the blowers.
He had no idea what I was talking about. He asked if I were inquiring about turbos. Nope. Blowers.
Had to bail due to anger issues with punk babble .Nice truck tho !
Just a question like that.... How much fast it can get on the highway??? And how did you set it up??
Very cool swap into your truck. You are running a Clark 5 speed? What is the axle ratio?
I miss my ‘78 for sure, and I’d love to find a solid 1 ton to do a similar swap.
Tinnitus here I come!
555 Cummins is a good engine but the old Detroit are good to i put a 555 cummins in our service truck and I am putting a 6v53 Detroit in a 79 chevy k2500 and have many other detroits in our trenchers and other equipment they are very dependable engines
Sounds great.
This guy shifts like OLD people screw. I'd have him shitting hot water in about 2 minutes.LOL
love that sound
4:24 that idle sound is so perfect!
cumulo25 yea it sound like a big Diesel
lol this video gets way cooler when he turns metallica on.
I bet he turned on metallica to drown out his passenger lol
It sounds like both an Internation Harvester/Navistar, and a Train too!
Many trains have a bigger cousin to this engine. GM had a locomotive division which used a two stroke designed alongside Detroit Diesel.
Smiles per gallon there Bo
Man Thats some kinda Awesome
what do u rev it to tanner, its sounds like its over 2500rpm they sound so cool. is that stock rpm or is it hopped up.

Music to my ears
sweet rig

+nolan donahue 20mpg if your lucky and geared high...something to the tune of 3.54 or so.
Cool and the tool
bad ass truck!
That old two stroke Detroit is a musical engine to listen to. How is it to drive?
It sounds awsome.
EXIT LIGHT ENTER NIGHT!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
On the next ride don't bring your 12 year old brother, awesome truck though!
Should float those gears only use the clutch to take off but that's a nice truck
u should put that to work a 1 ton truck scap, um supplies for a contractor and that. i may yet change out my 84 6.9 1 ton rollback to a detroit. idk. i di love and have a lot if knowledge of the 6.9. . nice rig you've got alittle to learn about it yet but yea .
What is the top speed of the pickup and are you still driving it?
what about diff gear ratio. it sounds like its geared almost perfect. u say its got a fuller 6206, whats it out of. is it a 8 speed? I think id like t start collecting parts...nice job.
Joe Nichol 3.54's. 6spd. I don't know what its out of, I got it just as a rebuilt unit. It would be out of a medium duty truck like a f750. Thanks!
Your passenger would get roasted in the trucking field.... Nice truck man
