- The Detroit 4-53T in my 1949 Diamond T 306 got new exhaust stacks and a new turbo. Let's hear the music! I give the details of the upgrades before starting the engine. Plenty of classic 2-stroke Detroit Diesel song to enjoy.

"It's not fancy but it gets the job done" probably accurately describes a lot of us.
The world needs Detroit back
My two favorite things about this project: (1)You are having fun; and (2) you are proud of what you are doing! To me, that says it all.
Oh, and I almost forgot my third favorite thing: (3) the truck!
Thank you for the kind comment, and you're right on all 3 counts!
What a beautiful sound of this Detroit engine!
Yeah right but the new BRP 1.9L ETEC g2 2 stroke can can kick the crap out of the old 4-53 2 stroke and is outdoing it in 2 stroke engine swaps, The 1.9l 3 cyl is close to a 3-53 and delivers way more power too. The new arcticat 858 is on par with a 4-53 2 stroke and a 4-53 2 stroke detroit runs fine with klotz techiplate 2 stroke oi like my 8v92. A detroit is like like a polaris snowmobile engine sort of!A 4-53 sounds like a 74 scorpion 440 CCW or kinda like my John deere JDX8 which had a CCW 440 which leaked like a detrioit but kept on going! cheers!
@@jlo13800An outboard...gasoline?Didn't you feature nice k series Detroit powered videos?
That old Detroit sounds nice, with a little sound deading didn't hurt the noise level. Hopefully it wont hurt your ears, or rattle your brain. The truck is looking good too. 😊
I love the new Rotax 850 etec turbo r at 1200 rpm, polaris 850 and acrtic cat 858 those are the jimmy's of snowmobiles!
Very nice indeed.:) You're going to love the 7A77's, just about the right power and no smoke.:)
Just awesome, I love these old Diamond T's. For some reason I thought that all the Detroit's had to use a rootes type of supercharger. Great job, if I get to Colorado some day I hope to see it person, maybe let us know if you are going to a car show.
You're right... all 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engines use a "blower" to blow fresh air into the cylinders and scavenge exhaust gas out. The blower doesn't increase the pressure of the air, so the term supercharger really doesn't fit. Turbochargers were an option for many of the Detroit Diesel models. The turbocharger feeds high pressure air into the intake of the blower. 👍
Those front rear spring hangars are a work of art. Vintage hardware is the tits yo!
Those are modern International air ride spring hangers.
I remember this body style from my youth, it's a great looking truck.
My father put a 453 turbo Detroit in the F350 Ford flatbed 1 ton back in like 1980 pops mated it to a 5x4 didn’t have a lot of power, but man the look and sound was so unique people loved it
Glad I found this channel, LOVE that truck!
Great job. I love it. Please consider hearing protection for your kiddos.
From years of driving Detroit powered trucks I can tell you that the high pitched whine of the blower and turbo are equal if not more damaging to your hearing as the loud noise.
Can't believe such a small engine was ever installed in something that big!
Sound is Sex for me in motors. Nice job!!! cant wait to see it done complete!
I LOVE IT!!! SHE CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Now that is one sweet looking & sounding Diamond T. You should have plenty of power & ability to haul/get down the road. I love seeing the old trucks getting a new lease on life. I have a 51 REO that a work in progress. It needs lots of work, but most of the older trucks do, as you probably know. Many of us like to know as many details of a build & a visual evidence of it all. Looking good, Dude! Will be a treasure! Blessings. 💥🥰✌️
Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you've got a good project!
@@hanscustomshop 🇺🇸 A good project indeed. I have a 454 or a DT466 diesel to use in it. Not sure what route I’m taking yet. I have much to do before then. It’s currently a wrecker. It’s coming along. Enjoyed your truck. Have fun with your truck! 💥🤩✌️
Nice rat rod diamond T truck it reminds me of the good ole days where Detroit Diesel engines were running around even before i was born now it’s all Cummins caterpillar and other diesel engines
Oh boy think I found a NEW channel to watch 😎!
So awesome! The truck is lookin good!
It sounds great. Very nice truck
Thanks for the video 🔧👍
Putting any sort of wood on that frame would be sacrilege and cheesy 🧀 ,,,she's just to beautiful for that, nice video, thanks,!
Nice ride my new friend , keep the video’s coming ! 🍺♥️😎
its so perfect,
its so so perfect i have no words brotha.
Love the truck. Those Detroit's sound like they will come apart when you get them going.
Ole gal has a hell of a growl to her! Super Sweet Rig
Just found your channel. I love these old trucks. Especially the Screamin Demons! . I leaned to drive in 1986 in an old
GMC Astro with an 8v something in it. Goota love that Detriot sound! Regards from Ody Slim
Thanks for your comment. I learned to drive in an old White Road Boss with an 8V71... probably very similar to that Astro. 👍
wow what a beautiful walk
Very cool love the patina 🍻👍
So nice when you lift it off low idle.
I'd love to put a polished aluminum box on the back and make a tiny house out of a truck like that. HOUSE ROD? Lol
Looking good brother
Good job be good to see it driving
She sounds so good!!!!
Sweet ride
Man,that is super cool!!!
i can hear and see er i my mind pulling like a ox up a winding road on a steep mountain somewhere with max gross on and making it look good. you did good.
I can't wait for that! And it's coming soon. I've had it out a couple of times and it runs great. Winter is here in Colorado, so waiting for good dry roads and a nice day to head out for a longer drive.
Damn, what a bad ass, cool truck!
Love that sound
You've got that thing sounding almost like a 92 series! Love it!
Yooo, run that mother hubbard down the road, that thing sounds badass. You can really hear the blower through the exhaust giving an otherwise boring 4-cylinder some kind of epic synth/raid siren sounding overtone.
One.Bad.Dude!!! I subscribed!
Great job ! I like it
Sounds freakin sweet!
Nice rig, had a LC-8 with 4,671s, never heard it's equal.
Cool! Nice truck
Sounds so good
Such a freaking cool truck! Would love to do something like this, no time though. Enjoy!
Me too. No mon no fun
Sounds great! I actually like the deeper tone. I put N80s in a natural 6V53 it smoked but not like a pulling tractor or semi! You need to watch some Oliver 1950 pulling tractors with the 4-53s turned WAY up. No turbos. They breathe fire at 5k rpms.
I've seen those pulling videos... pretty wild!
sick truck bro!
That’s like the perfect truck
She sounds healthy
Just saying i knew a man that made his on style of a flow master super 10 style muffler....where there's are oval these are square...but he made them for a 8v71 ...same style muffler just in diesel dimmishion..and it sounded amazing....mit be a neat pice of Info...cool little truck 👍👍👍👍👍👍
love the 8v71 Detroit diesel 2 stroke and love the v12 version too
What an incredible build!!!! I freaking love it!
Sounds great
Awesome!
Cool truck
Sounds good looks better.
Sounds sweet
Well, that’s a pretty little ol rig there
Awesome. I’m jealous!
bro is babying the revs LOL cant be a real man
Awesome truck and great sounding. If you still need to reduce the noise or drone level on the interior look into Kilmat or similar sound deadening insulation products, it's a thin butyl rubber sound insulation sheets that has a self adhesive side and you just stick it on your interior sheet metal wherever needed, a 2-4" hand roller helps adhere it into crevices and make it form to the panels.
That's good advice, thanks. I do have the firewall covered in the butyl rubber sheeting. I'll be adding more as I work through the rest of the interior. 👍
Thanks for the reminder, I was trying to think of that name, the other one that I know about is called Lizard skin, or sknz
Making me feel old. I was going to suggest Dynamat. 😒
Beauty full truck great sound love the old Patina trucks i have also a Chevy 54 Patina diesel truck greetings from Belgium europe 👍👍👍
Thanks for you comment. What size Chevy, and what diesel engine? I love to hear about similar projects!
@@hanscustomshop it is a 1/2ton pickup with a 6cylider diesel engine 👍
😎💯✌looks&sounds like money
Truck sounds awesome man! I’ve built several gas V8s in my day but i recently decided to try my hand on my first diesel. My son found a 12 valve p pump Cummins at or local pull a part for 300 bucks! It’s getting tore down to go to the machine shop. Now you got me wanting a Detroit! 😂
Sounds like a fun project... what's the Cummins going in?
@@hanscustomshop either a square body 3/4 ton suburban, or a second gen dodge single cab dually with a manual trans.
I need that in my life 😅
Love it! Thanks for the details on the exhaust and the turbo! I have a 453t , ‘48 Ford f5 and an ‘85 f350 dually rolling chassis. Still looking for a trans, possibly 8 spd. But, I am thinking of selling the 453 and looking for a 353. That 3 cylinder has a nastier sound IMO. Keep the updates coming on this beauty!
Thanks for your comment. The 453 was a very tight fit in this truck. In hindsight, a 353 would have been a much easier selection. But I'll make good use of the extra power. I actually just recently bought a salvaged Silver 3-53T out of an aircraft tug. I don't know what it'll be going into yet, but I've got some ideas. 👍
No matter which one you use. It will always sound better naturally aspirated.
Havan arctic cat 1000 triple natural gas generac which runs good and makes 277/480v power. how does an detroit 4-53 2 stroke compare and detroits run better klotz techniplae like an 8-71.
The AC 1000 is 1800 rpm and 48 kw, it could do 32 kw with the exhaust valves at lower port timing at 1200 rpm thought. She can burn either shell rotella or amsoil interceptor though, oil pressure about 40 psi of VRO feed.
Very cool!!!!!!! 👍👍
Awesome
Nice truck to turn into a FlatBed!!
Congratulations on an incredible restoration. I am trying to locate
The same model truck but having difficulty finding one currently.
They're tough to find, especially in good condition. The Facebook Diamond T group is a good place to hang out... folks will occasionally post nice trucks for sale.
Thank you very much for that suggestion. I will check that site out also.
Impressive.
You can put as many mufflers and as much sound deadening in there ya want, probably still won’t be able to have a conversation without yelling 😂 love them ole 2 strokes 🤘🏼 nice build!
Lead?
We had an old Terex dozer with a wore out 6v71t. The boss had a mechanic put in an 8v92t. That was a bad machine 😮😮😮.
Hi this Truck should be protected it’s so nice love noise love Detroits I drove 8.92 TT A with around 500. H P love them …your truck mate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Clean, green diesel! 😆
Ya' they are loud, I got a 1979 Ford F350 4x4 with a 453t, jake and a 10 spd od. It has a full size 4" bus muffler and you still can't hear yourself think!
Rad truck!! Less talking more truck
Very nice dt. but I would have made the stacks a bit taller. You are really gunna hear that 4cyl with em that low to the cab😊 looks great tho
Sweet. I suggest taller stacks
That lil Jimmy is sounding 100% love the truck as how you have it setup. What transmission is behind the Detroit? 😊
Roadranger RTO-6610 transmission. 👍
A 2 speed diff would be perfect for that. You can change real quick with those.
I've got a 10 speed manual transmission with overdrive in the truck... gives me plenty of range. 👍
Nice job on the build 👍 love the chrome rocker cover and the pod filters are good you don't need any external crap piping etc.
They are very fuel ifficiant if they have overdrive . I had one in a pickup and got around 40 miles a gal cruising.
That's fantastic. I'm looking forward to finding out how this truck does. I do have a 0.8 overdrive 10th gear and 3.55 in the rear end.
Would make a great rig to pull a gooseneck or 5th wheel travel trailer
Pulling a trailer even with a small load could easily take a mile to get it up to 55 mph .Most people wouldn't be able to mentaly handle that.
What kind of fuel mileage would it get pulling a light load?
❤
🎉❤
Like the truck. Shame it's not painted.
Have you upgraded the seals in the roots blower? a weak point on the blowers! Sounds like the rack needs balancing also, shouldn't lope even cold. That is some rig you've got there 👍
I agree with you. After shooting this video, I didn't like the lope. I found that the Jake's buffer switch wasn't adjusted properly. I've got it adjusted, and believe this will stop the lope. The rack looks good. 👍
I saw a video couple whilst back were a truck similar to this was doing a start up Nd it ran away was it this truck or maybe I'm mistaking it for some one else😅.
Is that the stock frame if so could you go over some of the suspension and tire size! Great build by the way also what transmission are you using as well as final gear ratio!
Thanks for the comment. I'm putting together a video with details on the suspension, wheels, etc. Transmission is a Roadranger RTO-6610 with 0.8 overdrive. Rear end has 3.55 ratio.
With turbocharged always let the engine idle for at least 30 seconds before shutting down engine puts oil in the turbo for lubricant and the turbo can spend at 20,000 RPM. With no oil going to the turbo it will go bad quick.
Yep a turbo timer is good to have.
Don't know if they made a bypass blower for the inline 53 series but without it your trying to push all the turbo boost through the blower which turn the blower into a restriction and a parasitic load. A company Johnson & Towers developed the bypass blower end plate that significantly improved performance on 92 and 149 series engine. I think they may have bypassed the 6V-53 on high output marine engines. Nice looking build. Good job.
Yes, Detroit made a bypass blower for this engine. It was installed on Silver series engines. I want one, but they are hard to find. Hope to make that upgrade sometime soon. 👍
I love a Detroit and this is a gorgeous build.
The 7A77 is a 71-Series injector, have you had any issues with injector advance/timing on the 53?
Appears to have cleaned up quite well with the 300 turbo, what’s your boost pressure on the snail?
Cheers, Chris
I'll be able to answer your questions better after driving the truck some. Although the 7A77 is for 71 series like you mentioned, it is a popular choice for the 53 series folks that are looking for a little extra power. There are actually guys running 92 series injectors in 53 series engines. Regarding boost pressure, I'll be able to tell you once I drive the truck and can get the engine warmed up and loaded. Can't wait to do it! 👍
@@hanscustomshop Nice! Looking forward to the next video 👍

That starter sounds just as good for some reason, what starter is in it?
I agree, it sounds good and strong. It's a gear reduction starter from Masco, link below. I've got it hooked up with 2/0 cable.

Hollowed out mufflers sound much better
Needs fresh outside intake air!! Put outside breathers it’s sucking in hot air under the hood!! It will perform better and get better fuel mileage with cool air intake
Thats bad ass I have some 40's era kb series internationals ide like to do this with what did you use for a frame or rails? I have a common rail 5.9 for a powerplant
Thanks for watching. I used the original Diamond T frame. It's in very good condition and worked just fine for my upgrades.
@@hanscustomshop ten 4 you did an awsome job for sure
What kind of things are you going to pull with
it?
Класс 👍
so it is turbo and supercharged? sounds amazing!
All of these old Detroit Diesel 2-stroke engines have a blower. It's not a supercharger. The blower is required for the engine to operate. The blower forces fresh air into the intake ports in the cylinders. A turbocharger was optional on many of the Detroit engines, and improves the performance.
@@hanscustomshop blower sounds alot like a supercharger to me! likely just lower pressure. neat either way! neat truck!!
Turbo, blower, supercharger. They're all forced induction. All 3 do the same. They compress air. Even nitrous oxide is considered forced induction.
