I’ve noticed in all these types of videos they never talk about the shiny 290 or the m11 or the L10 or the 3208 or the 3408 or the Brazilian ford 6.8 any of the old good ones just the same ole 8v’s, 6v’s or the Mack or cat 3406’s yes these are all outstanding remarkable engines
@ yes sir been in the trucking industry my whole life and another engine they never talk about is the QSK95 Cummins which is the most powerful ultra class truck engine made that alone should put it on all the list it’s comes from the factory producing over 4000 hp and upwards of 18,000ft lbs of torque
@@BillyTompkins-pu7pf When I drove back in the 80s I had a 300 Cummins in a Transtar. It got the job done but not with any flair. That was back before CDLs.
@@artszabo1015 I started driving at 18 in a 1965 kw w900 with a small cam 350 Cummins turned up to the moon with a double over 15 spd dash slapper(that was put in to replace the 9 spd) and 3.55's out back sitting on 11R24.5 tall rubbers loved that truck
Amazing... There was not a single engine on your list known for its weak performance, poor fuel economy, mediocre reliability, high repair cost, or poor resale value. And none of them appear to be readily available in barely used low mileage trucks. It's as if everyone who buys trucks intends to use them until they are worn out. Who knew?!
When I young I almost bought a FORD condo with a KT 450, 5X4 transmissions, 4.11 rears, 240” wheel base. I settled for a KW, meow motor 425, 5X4,4.11. Have a nice day!
Of all the many trucks I’ve driven in all types of weather and road conditions, hauling freight of all kinds, dry or refer, the one standout I had the pleasure of being assigned from new with under 300 miles on it from the Allentown, PA plant to our terminal in E. Prov. RI, was a 1984 Mack R model, day cab with window, 300 hp Econodyne 5 speed, turned up to 3,000 rpm’s, 38,000 Camel Back Mack double locker suspension with KONI shocks all around, custom pleated cab with nice high back Bostrom air ride seat, power windows and AC, with my own choice of Pioneer Power Play FM radio and cassette, with 4, 8” round JBL speakers. With plenty of chrome and polished Alcoa wheels and tanks. I ran from the Providence, RI area hauling scrap metal, south to Harrisburg, PA, or new glass bottles south to the Tri-State NY, NJ & PA ares, hauling beer back, at least 46-48,000 lbs back. Once on the highway never using anything but 4th & 5th gears, downshifting to 4th only at 40 mph, at 2,200 rpm, only if the pyrometer was over 1,000 degrees! Very rarely going as low as 3rd gear at 27 mph! Unlike the big power trucks with 10+ speeds where you shift all day long at every 4-6 mph rise in each gear, the Mack 5 speed 300, first was from stop to 10 mph, second to 18, third to 27, 4th to 44, then fifth good to 73 mph. The only downside getting used to that 5 speed, coming fresh out of a 10 speed RR, was double clutching till I got used to the pause and shift or using the Jake-Brake that took a lot of practice to nail down. I logged over 300,000 miles on that Mack, with original clutch and front brakes.
I don't know that anything made by Detroit, Cummins, or Caterpillar were one of a kind in a truck - maybe, but the one I can think of is the Hall-Scott V12 in the fuel hauler Kenworth. I don't think there was any more than one built - 2182ci destroked and tuned down to 450hp. I think it ended up about 1900-ish cubic inches
The re was a hr 220 cummins 743ci was a picture shown with outside fuel lines. Intake on one side exhaust on other. After that there was a 855 nh small cam 220 exhast oneside intake other .i had both. I also have 3 small cam nh 250 855s. 1 runs perfect 2 r good cores if anyone needs them. Also a 1990 bigcam 4 350 runs beautiful if needed.
You repeat the terms dependable, reliable, high-powered, and robust for every engine you've discussed. For some engine models listed, these adjectives are fitting. For others, not so much. The Detroit Series 60 was the cheaper option in many truck models. That was why it was chosen. Not because it was anywhere near dependable, robust, or reliable. The Series 60 was infamous for being underpowered, unreliable, and being prone to massive oil leaks. The Cat 3400 Series engines are still in use today and are very common. My next-door neighbor is a bull hauler with a Kenworth W900 that has a Cat 3406C. He's hauling cows across this country every week. The 3406B and C are still everywhere and still running strong. Yes, some of these engines listed are rare TODAY. That's only because they are 70 to 80 years old and were replaced with better variants. Many of these engines aren't rare even today and are really easy to find parts for. The DT466, N14, and 3406 are not anywhere near rare by any definition of the word. And Mack engines weren't known for having high horsepower, but were known for being tough, torque monsters you could depend on. Mack engines are also known to be fuel guzzling. Please do better research rather than just turning out bs riddled videos for views. And ditch the AI narration...the AI's speech cadence and pronunciations are horrid!! More and more viewers are starting to refuse to watch videos with any AI narration and/or content.
Calling the 8V71 high performance my ass we that drove them called them the gutless pukers. You didn't refuel when you needed to you refilled the freaking engine with oil and checked your fuel. Most of them drank a freaking gallon or more every 500 miles even if they were not leaking it out.
I dislike the way when your introduce the next engine you have it jumping around. I won't watch it any more if that's the way your going to do it with everything you talk about. I find it very distracting.
Interesting but you do not givedetails of cubic capacity or super or turbo charging. just a thought I needed to pass on to you. Interesting all the same thank you.
Well I made it to the Cat 3406, which this person doesn't know how to say, one of the pictures was of a 3408 Cat still has parts for the 3406, 3408 and no mention of the Cat 1693 TA which ruled the highways for a time until the 3406 and 3408's, KTA's came along. Video is a waist of time.
Ah! The double breasted Yamaha, 318, V8, Detroit. DDE also made straight 4 and 6(both were buckets)! The 903, V 8 Cummins, another bucket. Especially when you drive from Denver to Colorado Springs with 40K# and it took 4 hours to get there.
Guy has no idea what talking about. Several of the engines listed were very popular with millions of them made and still available as remans. Don't even know correct name for several like 3406. Plus says same things about every engine, no listing what makes them stand out from others.
Just to school you the 1693 is a retro d 343 machine eng it was fit with a scroll fuel system becouse forged body f s would not fit into a rig it was cats entry into the truck market it also has a smaller brother the 1674 witch was a retro d 333c machine eng both are in the Smithsonian.
Cat C-16 was a short run motor, 10 months, I believe, was quickly replaced by the C-15. Same block and internals, as the 16. The 15 was a better motor, and the C-18 is a vocational motor, that has found home in a few long haul trucks, mainly Heavy Haul and Super Heavy Haul. The 15 and 18 is the same block, only the piston packs, cranks and internal fuel system.
The c-16 was a 4 year run engine. 2000 to 2004. I own one in 03 379. It's a horse. 600hp 2250tq. I have a million 3 on it. Inframed once. Best damn engine I have ever owned. I've been trucking for 46 years.
Try doing some actual research. How about the Hall Scott, and many other rare and strange engines. 12V71 is now rare and unusual. Not many trucks use the 53 series Detroit. Bla, bla, bla. Try not using AI
What do you just have a computer generated voice reciting crap off Wikipedia you have no idea about trucks for the power plants that came in them another scam artist just trying to get UA-cam dollars

The 400 Big Cam was dependable. I enjoyed the 444 much more (what’s a decade or two). The 425 was slick. Started with a 290 Cummins.
20 of the Rarest truck engines? Or are they the most common?
Most common on most.
How about the allis-chalmers 29000 the purple monster
210000 engine the purple people eater! Guaranteed to do the speed limit , loaded in all 48 states
The DT466 is still being used it’s named maxxforce now

Ya the repetition was sad
It’s a stutter🤣
There are plenty of other vids you can watch.

I’m running an 855 big cam 350 just rebuilt it and found all Cummins parts!
I think you forgot CAT 3408

Hey dude it’s 2024 and I’m still doing shit tons of 3406 b and c engines no where near exstinct.
my favorite engine for sure,,,powerfull,,dependable
@ doing 2 3406 nsfs this week.
N14 ,best of the best!
3406E!
Cat will still sell the 3406 and C15 to repower trucks.
Cummins Diesel still produces the 855/N14 in Asia. Parts ARE available. You have to search.😅
"Rare American truck engines"
* immediately shows aussie spec truck *
Total clickbait! The AI comments are almost the same for every engine listed
N14 and 3406 are the kings imo but I definitely still see them quite a bit, I’ve done a few 3406 recently
You have no clue what you are talking about, seems like you are reading a list that a6 year old gave you,
The Cummins NTC 855 built this country
It is iconic

You forgot the Shiny 190 - - predates the 220 Cummins.
Cant beat a 1693 big horse
Best boat anchor ever!
Boat anchor your ass
One of the best truck motors ever
I rember seeing one Big Al, in a truck in IT , it looked like a big square desk!
And how are these diesel engines considered "rare". What's so rare about them?
I don't know that anything made by Detroit, Cummins, or Caterpillar were one of a kind in a truck - maybe, but the one I can think of is the Hall-Scott V12 in the fuel hauler Kenworth.

Yes and finally the c-15 and 16 took cat from 53%of the market to less than 9% now that’s progress 😂😂😂
903 Cummins is still in production for the military!! Not rare
" when they wear out. it leads too them being scrapped." Really....no kidding and only this engine......AH ...make that all engines.
Calling the 8V71 high performance my ass we that drove them called them the gutless pukers. You didn't refuel when you needed to you refilled the freaking engine with oil and checked your fuel. Most of them drank a freaking gallon or more every 500 miles even if they were not leaking it out.
There wasn't anything rare about a 220 or a 318.
I thought the 673N was a bad motor because of the thin blocks would leak easily
Sorry I went to sleep after 5 minutes
What was that mikkkiiee
I dislike the way when your introduce the next engine you have it jumping around. I won't watch it any more if that's the way your going to do it with everything you talk about. I find it very distracting.
This SUCKS!
The AI voice is horrible!!!
I would rather hear the engines idling and revving. AI narration just ruined it in my opinion. It's just annoying.
Interesting but you do not givedetails of cubic capacity or super or turbo charging. just a thought I needed to pass on to you. Interesting all the same thank you.

the 12v71 KICKED ASS!!!!!
I have never wasted this much time on mistaken info ever. Worst batch on wrong info ever!
This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. You can find tons of these engines still running often.
NOT rare at all most of these were VERY Common......total B.S. video
I guess the gas engines are not listed.... if your talking rare some of those should be top of list.
The rarest truck engine?? I’d say any engine they put in a “Gentry and Sons” truck is the rarest. Going off like grenades😂😂
They didn't do much research
The Detroit deisel and reliability should not be used in the same sentence.
Guy has no idea what talking about. Several of the engines listed were very popular with millions of them made and still available as remans. Don't even know correct name for several like 3406. Plus says same things about every engine, no listing what makes them stand out from others.

They were never in trucks, just the adaptation the 1693
