Sounds just as good over there as they used to here in the States!! There is no sweeter music than a 2 cycle Detroit engine! Thanks so much for a great video!!
I love that engine, drove a Terex 30 ton off road dump truck with it, was stopped by the owner for speeding on the haul road, was the hydrostatic with 6 gears, I was making my way to fourth when he saw me, "I know it's fast and has a smooth ride, but slow it down," had to wait till he left to get it back up there.
What FUN . What memories . Super Truck from a Different Era . 5.3 litres . Sounded like 1000 bhp . They went very well . As a retired Professional Driver I have to comment , however , that the Driver kept his hand on the Shifter unnecessarily . This can and WILL wear the selector forks inside the transmission out very prematurely . Unless you intend to change a gear within say Two seconds time , hand SHOULD be on Knee . The Old Two Stroke Detroits are just such a GLORIOUS sounding thing . 6V53 best of all .
Nice little vlatt up around the Coona industrial area and across the bottom wier crossing and onto Timor Road. Good to see that it's been raining and green, better than it was when I was there last.
used to dyno the 6V53t silver series, with a supercharger and a turbo charger for the marine corps LAV these things are crazy we kept the whole camp up one night dynoing one. haha
Right! Them 2 strokes just scream! A neighbor of mine has and old Oliver tractor with a two stoke in it, when he has it in the field. Just grab a lawn chair and a couple beers and enjoy!
One of the first diesels I drove was a International with a 6V53 Detroit Diesel with a 4X4 transmission ( 4 speed main box with a 4 speed brownie ) and you almost had to wear ear plugs to drive it.This was many many years ago.Later on I progressed to a 6V71 and it was just as noisy.
the Glory days we will all remember will stay with us in our minds. blessed are those who are able to re live those days. and thanks for sharing good times in our troubled times in these last days. HP126.
I used to hate detroits back when I had to drive them all day long and they were plentiful. Now.............. I want one to cruise with. In a pickup or some type of rodded out smaller truck. The sound just brings me back. I love it.

At 70 mph is roughly 2000 rpms which is the sweet spot for HP TQ and MPG
Put the 203 in low using the hi lo switch on my stick. The 205 is a twin stick with hi, lo, neutral on one and front engage on the other. Be amazed at what holes you can crawl out of while loaded down heavy.
Manorfarmdenton There was a 8V53 factory installed in a Diamond T back in the early seventies 247 hp at 2600 RPM. Also a couple a couple of retrofitted ones in a bonneted bogie drive Deutz used to haul a tri-axle fuel tanker. Big truck in it's time. There was one put in a cabover Leyland single drive with bogie trailer hauling fruit in cages went like a rocket and took 2 hours of the trip time within 500 ks compared to the original Leyland engine and most of it was done up Mt Victoria.
If I had this ride, I'd wake the teenagers up across the street who kept me awake to all hours of the night partying, and give them a little 0600 Detroit alarm clock. Gotta love it.
You aren't kidding. I have a 1969 Diamond Reo C10142 here in the States. The only other Diamond Reo parts I have ever seen were a static display truck in a museum, and the cab and radiator that were used for a rat rod. I cant get parts to keep the Gold Comet engine going, so its getting a Cummins.
I love the mean and evil soundin' 6v53 in this video plus the jakes..these engines in trucks I think were set at 2300 rpm 1,600lbs of 318 cu. inch 2 cycle diesel even the over rev sound cool!!
aside from this example this engine was in my opinion very popular in the old International loadstars 1850 and the fleestars as well as old trash trucks and the old Chevrolet C-70 and yes older military vehicles
@@matildastanford7019: You pass the comment about hearing it from 10 km away... Need to tell a story about an overnight mob that was a national carrier in the 1970's. Late mate was supervisor for this overnight company. Truck from Melbourne was late - very late! Big knob boss was prowling the docks, waiting to tear the interstate driver a new one. BKB goes into the supervisors' dock office and is growling at the supervisor... Supervisor throws his hand up. Depot was at Beare Avenue, Netley. "Hang on, he is pulling up at South Road!" The supervisor exclaims! BKB: "How the F*** do you know that?!?" Supervisor: "I can hear his 6V53!" This is about 2.5 km from the depot, in peak hour traffic. About 15 seconds later, supervisor hears him going up through the gears. "He'll be here in 5 minutes!" BKB: "Yeah, sure!" Not believing what he is hearing! 5 minutes later, the Melbourne truck rolls into the yard. BKB goes to tear the driver a new one, and the driver presents a timestamp from a Bundy clock, with the simple message to the BKB: "Tell Melbourne that they need to get me out by 8 P.M., not F***ing after midnight like they have this morning!!!" BKB walked away with tail between legs!
A lot of people say a harley Davidson is the most efficient way to convert fuel into noise. I wonder if they have never heard of a 2 stroke detroit diesel.
A vintage RHD Diamond T? Don't see those often. I imagine they're even scarce down in Australia, since there aren't even that many of the LHD ones left here in the States.
Good old jimmy turning diesel fuel into noise. Must be hard for anyone who has never driven one to understand how cool these motors are. They sound like they are running a gazillion rpm. What did this one top out at in this video, maybe 2200?
michael jagger On the old mechanical engines yes the jake will actually choke the engine to the point of stopping but on the newer electronic engines it will work to a certain rpm then the computer will shut it off.

Hate to admit this a bunch of groan men ...but when i an old Detroit screaming like that. I get a little moist and sometimes i think i feel something move.. you know.. down there... work for heavy equipment dealer 35 years cranes. Loaders compessors big liftrucks etc.
Lalnable Hector lucky you, If I had one of those beasts, I would drive it like I don't care about emissions or noise (the reason why Detroit stopped making them)
Geez... don't hold back! Tell us how you REALLY feel. Maybe those that can't discern a note of sarcasm should be added to the "stupid" list... OOOPS! That's You!!
No worries. I think we all know it was Australia. I was just making one of those jokes about the wrong side of the road because they do it to us and we do it to them. It's all good. Cheers

My uncle used to drive one of those puppies back in the 70 and I loved to ride with him. It's like music to my ears.
Detroit Diesel.... when 20 mpg sounds like ur doing 200.... I LOVE it!!!
every time a old 2 stroke Detroit starts an angle gets their wings

Mr Sunshines you’re a moron
Mr Sunshines turbo charger is driven by exhaust gas pressure super charger is run off of the engine
that is the best sounding detroit ever, im in love!
I do love the sounds of 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engines!
When 1500 RPMs sounds like 8000!
Right! Them 2 strokes just scream! A neighbor of mine has and old Oliver tractor with a two stoke in it, when he has it in the field. Just grab a lawn chair and a couple beers and enjoy!
91slownotch I've only seen one of those, and I thought it was a custom build. Any idea what model Oliver it is?
they run twice as fast as a 4 stroke
Michael Jagger No, they fire twice as often. They only SOUND fast...shift points are still 22-2400 rpm.
actually 2900

I dig that "overgrown Porsche" sound! Like a giant diesel saxophone!
lol iv got this babby too as a fave and the throat singing maby we have a lot in common?
if you like diesel stuff AND overtone singing, then yes, we are both mutants, and we should be proud to be mutants.
Love it, remember all the good old trucks, screamin detroits and quad boxes.

Love that steering wheel Knighty, very flash.
I just love this truck. Man that 53 series pulls good. Sounds just fucking great mate. Much love for this truck from British Columbia, Canada.
Everything from you name to the profile pic to the comment is truly canadian hahaha, gotta love TPB.

ahhhh i could sleep this music.
DETROIT = BEAUTY
thats the best sound on this planet !!!! I would kill to own that truck ... nice !!!!
Beautifull sound 😍😍😍
Music to my ears, great vid. :)
Needles to say the the hairs in my forearms are standing on end. HOLYOLD CROW BATMAN...!!!.

love the sound I have had a few 453's-----had to get rid of then noise killing-so I went to 4bt cummins--god video
Its missin one thing...STRAIGHT PIPES! but it still sounds very sick even the way its set up now.
Right hand drive lefty shifting! Nice us americans are f....ing crazy I would drive it what a beauty!!!

I am diggin' the shift pattern sticker on the dash... lmfao
That sumbytch would make a def man scream ..... awesome.

Because IT IS 👍👌

I'd really like to see the rest of the truck! Have any video's of it?
In Canada! We have all kinds of them at the shop!!
Ah fuck... Now I gotta find a set of 53 series Jakes for mine!
Yes they are !!!
Glorious
i would love to see some footage of a drive by of this truck just to hear the exhurst note it puts out
Let 'er RIP, Knighty!!!!
A vintage RHD Diamond T? Don't see those often. I imagine they're even scarce down in Australia, since there aren't even that many of the LHD ones left here in the States.
Mmm I'm Lovin' It
thats my kinda heavy metal

HOW DID U MAKE UR DETROIT V6 53 SOUND LIKE THAT IT SOUNS AMAZING
you gotta drive em like you hate em
SNOORKLING !
listen to that whoo love the sound of the jake brake haha jeez am i sad or what?
If you're sad, so am I, Matty. It's an awesome sound.
lol yeh man i loved my dads old grubber it wuld make the coolest sound using the jake,lol its nice
i was in new zealand and my ex wuld moan at the fact id wait at the bottom of a vally and listen to the straight 8 pipes jaking it wow!cool stufs
where can i buy that engine??? Im from Panama and i love how thats engine sounds
Yeah it is...
Great stuff .. Loud now LOL
Good old jimmy turning diesel fuel into noise. Must be hard for anyone who has never driven one to understand how cool these motors are. They sound like they are running a gazillion rpm. What did this one top out at in this video, maybe 2200?
AL M 2600RPM is standard rating
damn this is in Europe. So they exported Diamond T’s? Noisy little motor on that T. Lets go to 8V92 instead!
"new Jacobs brakes installed " as if you installed them on the axles or something over the weekend. Cool video nonetheless. thanks
so bad ass!
SWEET!!! are you one of the guys we sold 53 Jakes to last year? (Ontario Canada)
You're on the wrong side of the road! LOL
Ever heard of the fact that in Australia we drive on the LEFT unlike America.
With the "LOL", you should have realized that I was being sarcastic.
Scott Bechler Dunno about where you live but i have never met anyone who said LOL when they were being sarcastic...
@@scottbechler9975 I think he suffered a catastrophic sense of humor failure, rest of us got it.
Must be tough with steering wheel on wrong side.
Shit lol I meant *mph, not mpg lol
What trans and gears are you running?
This is what angry sex sounds like!
i thought the jake brake kicked in when you braked
+Michael Jagger the Jake Brake and engine brakes all work whenever you come off the accelerator and doesn't have anything to do with the brake system.
+Terry Stoner can you use the jake brake to the point when an engine cuts out?
michael jagger On the old mechanical engines yes the jake will actually choke the engine to the point of stopping but on the newer electronic engines it will work to a certain rpm then the computer will shut it off.
How isnt it a jacobs brake?
Where in NSW is this, Forbes?
Jacobs engine brake only 1.
What year is your truck?
sounds like a 8v71 318 hp. but you say its a 238 detroit??
It's 6V53, 318 cubic inches 210 hp👍

I see what's wrong. He's driving on the wrong bloody side of the road and they put the steering wheel on the wrong side too.

The film's been put in back to front :)
N/A or turbocharged?
Neither, all rootes type blower (Supercharger), a two stroke DIESEL requires pressurised air box to run.
Naturally aspirated , all 2 stroke diesels have a blower operating at barely above atmosphere 👍
I realy don't think a 8v71 will fit under the hood of a Diamond t just way to narrow of a hood
They fitted them in some B model Macks
