550HP Detroit 60 series cold start. it was -2 degrees,power inverter was on for the past 4 days with truck off,not plugged in with it being 25(degrees) or less.
Needs a new intake temperature sensor, computer doesn’t know it’s cold so it’s not changing the timing my old classic never took more than 2-3 seconds to start no matter how cold it was!
I got a 03 12.7 550. Been parked for 3.5 years. Popped some batteries in it. Got it ready. She was mad for a little bit but we been running around for a month today. No problems 1.5 million on it
I would make sure you have someone that knows the check it out. It’s awesome you have that kind of mileage, but it would suck to have the block destroyed because something failed. Bull gear is a common failure on higher mileage units. I bet that engine sounds great! I’d love to see some video of it in action.
@@user-ln7of9gs4s I wouldn’t even be proud to run something with over a million miles in it. I would be running scared because I know something is going to break real soon.
This is why I love the Series 60. I've driven Cummins ISX, Cat C15, even Volvo D13. But the Detroit just doesn't know the meaning of the word die. My dad had 2 DDS60 powered Fords while I was growing up. The trucks fell apart around the engines! Only reason he got rid of either was because of electrical issues (Ford/Sterling trucks are notorious for it). But the Detroits still ran strong.
My favorite engine. People outta see 20 of them start at the same time on a 10 degree morning LOL. I miss the old 60 series like we used to have. I work for a company daycab operation and they were replaced with the new garbage DD15 Cascadias.
@@alexblackwood8465 When you push the clutch in you disconnect the clutch plate from the flywheel. This completely releases the transmission from the engine. Thus it reduces drag.
owned it 6 years always stared it this way with it even being way colder,so untill that day comes witch im sure it never will,ill start my truck how i feel
Should push the clutch while starting, and when motor cold I always leave it run 15 mins idle before putting on the high idle, to give time for expansion of seals,
15 minutes at low idle in cold weather when you are trying to warm up the engine does more damage to your cylinders, rings, and pistons. Crank it to 1,000 rpm after the black smoke clears up and it will heat up the engine faster. I work on these engines for a living.
that engine a few years ago dont like the detroits.....but now karma did his job and put a detroit diesel 12.7 in my truck guess what? now i love those engines far well is the best engine i ever use.....karma is a bitch..
ahh the sound of a lot of pots banging these engines, where this trinket !, and always when you give the cold start presurise the pump manually injection to take the air inside it , that the mechanical pumps
Very few on highway heavy duty engines had glow plugs, you'll find them in old tractors and older light duty engines. Just about every current generation heavy duty diesel engine since the first decade of the 2000s has a grid heater in the intake manifold of the engine to aid in cold starts.
i had freightliner Coronado 2006 mechanic repaired head cylinder and mainbering when he finished i came start after 3days and try to start but it start like this truck, i told him mechanic am not pickup truck starting like this pls fixed good,he said it is Normal they call cold start, is that true because i never drive series60 before
Had no idea at the 550 number but after this I did tons of work to the motor and had it putting out 750HP At the fly wheel and 702HP to the ground at 2650lb-ft of torque
@@psychoticgamers13 super impressive! Plan to buy an XLC midtop w/series 60 but was concerned with their factory rated 1650 torque #. I won't build a monster like you lol but I'm pleased to know their tq can be improved

Awesome Awesome Awesome dude.....I like all your cold starts. This truck is perfect, prob my fav truck on UA-cam so far...smokes good like a diesel should....nice look to it....looks like a upper bed set up with a nice view out that window up high......love the sight of a smoking truck like this and what would be even cooler would to be there immersed in its stench....you r one lucky dude! Ic we r only 4 hours away from each other....hmu sometime if u wana chat
seems like ur fuel is little on the thick side. During winters in Colorado i do 5 gallons of gas mixed with one gallon of oil. it will start in temps under 0 with no cranking fires right up. there ware times where i would forget to plug it and starts right up
Can’t wait until they really work all the knots out of Biodiesel. I’d love to keep the old iron around without having to put so much garbage in the air
What a delightful exhaust pipe, probably the most beautiful I've ever seen. This is how every diesel should smoke, with delicious smoke that can contain 3 colors if you pay attention. The delicious black, the delightful blue and the cleanest smoke: white. The more smoke and poison comes out, the better it smells. So there can't be enough of that delicious smoke coming out, which is also heavily addictive and smells better than the most expensive perfume.
ya it was a 430-500 from factory just tuned it and turned fuel pump up and removed waste gate,so its at 550 and 53 pounds of boost,back when this video was made now its around 750HP with bigger turbo,bigger cam and tons of other shit
Detroit actually made a 550 HP. I have a 2001 Western Star Constellation, it has a 550/575 HP from the factory. They only made them a couple of years. When you PDI them they're a beast. Most are 470, 500, 515 and a 600.

Sounds like a usual Series 60 cold start. Love the Detroits.

Hold the clutch in. Its much easier on the starter and less drag making it easier to start.
How that works don't it put more pressure on the flywheel when the clutch is in
It ain't trying to turn the gearbox while starting
@@dylancole8626 I'm glad you aren't my mechanic. Stick to driving, bud.

Ok Jimmy thank you for that have a nice day
Cheers! I was looking to show a friend what the Peterbilt I used to drive sounded like on a cold start
Push in the clutch, it's a lot easier on the starter. It can be the difference in firing up or not.
Agreed / starting 101!
Agree 100% !!
push in your shut the fuck up,my truck ill start it how i feel
You'll be alright, you'll grow up . Next time when it's a bit colder and it won't fire up, you'll learn.

@@JosephArata ya I personally try to never let my diesel idle below 1k rpms.
Beautiful beast!
Are cold starts like this not being plugged in bad for the engine? Or is it just a rough start and engine is unharmed?
that engine a few years ago dont like the detroits.....but now karma did his job and put a detroit diesel 12.7 in my truck
guess what? now i love those engines far well is the best engine i ever use.....karma is a bitch..
we pulled out a N14 Celect plus and put a 12.7 detroit at 525hp. Rebuild cost and fuel usage, in out KW 601
You can creat some cool bangers out of this sound 😂
Ok check fuel pump or any lose in the diesel hoses..check all hoses..that problem is fuel and the sound crack crack crack is other problem
I love it
ahh the sound of a lot of pots banging these engines, where this trinket !,
and always when you give the cold start presurise the pump manually injection to take the air inside it , that the mechanical pumps
yes
Alexsandro Panisson there is no manual pump on a 60 series. Hot batteries is all that is needed
Would have been a lot easier on the starter to hold the clutch down
At least they put the idle up a bit
Plus a little sip of Ether, plug 🔌 it in next time if you can.
I believe he should of at least given the plugs a min to warm up
@@superdbsfan8670 the plugs?

so hard on the ol girl! let the glowplugs do their job.
no scenes
they don't have glow plugs bud
Hale Cooley just let em be dumb man
a 60 series don't have glow plugs. Today's engines don't have glow plugs. Back when the CAT 1693 came out I had one, it had glow plugs.
Very few on highway heavy duty engines had glow plugs, you'll find them in old tractors and older light duty engines. Just about every current generation heavy duty diesel engine since the first decade of the 2000s has a grid heater in the intake manifold of the engine to aid in cold starts.
Jesus, that's what ether is for. "Just a little bit".
never use ether, i learned that the hard way . you will snap ring's when it's that cold and hit it with ether!!!!!
Spray WD-40 in the breather, much easier on the rings and head gaskets than ether.
Ours has 1,800,000 miles
What truck is this?
I drive a KenWorth W900

I like freightliner Classic xl
i love this sound
Why do you need to spend thousands of dollars on ecu’s for getting lope idle, when you can get a cold start and it will sound the same or better
How can you handle a 550..??? With a regular 10 speed. You need at least a 13 speed to handle the hp????
B. S.
How did you get that much HP? The 14L is only rated at 515hp max, and the 12.7L is less than that?
It's his story
Deitroit s60 l love
Huge Mistake
When you start any heavy trucks you have to push the clutch . Then it's little bit easier
You do that on any manual vehicle. My half ton pickup won't start without pushing in the clutch
push the clutch in next time. old farmer trick
That's all you got?
I thought you may have to push start it.Time for a rebuild.
Why is there so much smoke??
Asian rice unburnt fuel from being cold
I have a 60 series Detroit and I thought mine had a problem starting because it started that slow
So does it not have a problem and that’s just normal??? Can someone help?
Ooo dear monster
Damn plug that truck in be overhauling the motor keep doing that shit thinking it’s cool!! 😂😂😂😂

I like to let the glow plugs warm up when I have to do that.
umm you obviously have no idea about large truck engines because they dont have glow plugs
Go away Timmy.
they really don't
who is timmy ^^
good question
That's a bad/faulty injector start, has nothing to do with cold
