  1. Thanks for ALL the pictures OD. Maybe 1 day I’ll get a chance to see for myself.
  2. If it’s been sitting a long time might be moisture from time. if it’s been working, do an oil analysis.
  3. I see green under the red in spots
  4. They’re all the same. Get 1 from your closest best dealership.
  5. Can’t wait for the reply! Congratulations on the retirement!!
  6. Never seen a turbo charged 6V-71, not saying they weren’t. Bunch 6V-71’s in city buses had them, & worked on gen sets in the Le Tourneau cranes. Not as popular as the 6-71. My opinion, Detroit had a very good stationary engine. Truck engine not good. (My opinion). I’m thinking the 6V-71 was rated a little less than the 6-71 in hp. & torque.
  7. Driver should have known, but where do you find 1!!
  8. I know the feeling, ITS TOUGH!!
  9. RIP ED. My condolences
  10. Worked on a lot of gray marine 6-71s. I know they were in conjunction with Detroit in some way, they had the cooling system with there daytank (at least that’s what we called them) design that was different.
  11. They had a 6-110 series, and the V-149 series. They also had the 51 series that I think was labeled at General Motors Diesel.
  12. Those replies are comical I’ve heard them before
  13. Just saw your truck on my google page, made the overdrive magazine. Very very nice truck!
  14. As long as you have firing order, I don’t see the problem.
  15. Amazing to me you DONT have to read ever thread that’s posted, I myself liked reading the differences. But the Barney Fife’s are in control.
  16. Oil pressure is good, but 2 stroke Detroit’s need straight weight oil. Preferably delo 100 40w. 30 if in cold weather.
  17. If I had trans out, I’d pull the motor mount bolts and replace all the gaskets and seals & hone, new bearings & rings and be done.
  18. I imagine most people rely on the low oil switch to let them know when they need to finance for a new 1. At least they were trying to get you to check the oil. Nowadays it’s amazing that people can put gas in there vehicles. I hear pretty regular of people putting def in there fuel tanks and vise versa.
  19. Big time hypocrite, as full of shit as he is, you wouldn’t think he’d be that dumb.
  20. Sounds like you’ve checked it good, how well do you know who rodded the radiator, did you see it yourself? Do you have pyrometer?
  21. I agree with Nobody454, I had 12 CHU, 505, 18sp with 3.98. Worked well for running 55mph. I’d wished I had 3.55. My 18sp was the T318LR. was on tall rubber too.
