That's a cool truck! It seems to fit the "rat rod" style perfectly.

What is that tall handle behind the shifter??

[BgBlDodge]

Freaking sweet!!

[DEZLFREK]

thats the other trans, its a 5sp with a browny 3sp behind it..

[DEZLFREK]

sometime soon ill get some underside.. all air ride, 4wheel disc brakes, 4 linked rear narrowed dana 80.. this truck is done well.. hopefully we can get this in Diesel power some day eh Chris?

[AsTroSS]

NIce.

Is the 53 series 2 stroke engine?

[DEZLFREK]

yeah its a 2 stroke.. watch the video from my photobucket for a burnout this weekend to hear it run.. they sound like they are screaming but its only around 3000rpm..

[Casey Sturgeon]

thats BAD!

[cumminspuller]

I want one!

[Diesel Fanatic]

NIce.

says its a 4-53 which means its a 4 cylinder 53ci per cylinder:snoop:

... but in my side of the Earth you can find 2-stroke engines only in museum, and even in museum do not have 53 series .....:kick:

I'd love to shoot it for a feature in Diesel World magazine! It's a great looking truck and I love the style of build!!! Hopefully we'll get a chance to get together and shoot it soon.:snoop:

In my honest opinion, 2 stroke Detroit diesels are only good for turning diesel fuel into noise, also most of them leak oil so fast an oil change is seldom needed, just add oil daily. Never the less, owning a Detroit powered rat rod would be fun!

[OrangeNV]

that thing is awesome!!!!!!!

[SmokeShow]

Now THAT kicks some serious ass!! Well done! B)

If you went onboard a ship you would surely find them.. But probably not Detroits. :) Also, still some EMD trains around, at least here.

About the truck. That thing is pure, distilled awesome. Coolest thing I've seen in a while.:Cheer:

[SHughes]

LOVE IT!!!

but those gauges gotta go...or at least get some that fit the theme

[WhiteKnight]

awsome truck!

they are definatly in a class of there own but if ya build them right "MOST" of the oil stays in em'. but u cant deny that not many engines sound better than a 92 series detroit wound up tight, about "2700 rpm".

No doubt the 8v92tt and 12v92tt are among the most angry engines ever heard! Almost top fuel cool.

yea but both r the little brother to the 16v92TTI's we had 3 in a boat i was running in the gulf custom built a/w intercoolers and larger injectors we were pumping out 1485 a piece on the dino. all were straight piped right out the sides of the hull. is was quite BA:ft:

[DEZLFREK]

that must have sounded crazy!!!

[DEZLFREK]

bucks gmc runs pretty good now, prolly makes about 200+ hp the way it was but he pulled it apart today and is going to shim the valve springs and gov to twist it up to around 3500.. also he pulled the 80mm injectors out and is putting some 145mm injectors in thier place.. he has plans on putting a 471 blower on it now to along with intercooling between a bigger turbo... should run real good then..

[terminaltsi]

Awesome! I have a 1940 Ford 1.5 ton dually that I"m putting an 89 Iveco turbo diesel 5.9 into.

[nitrogen]

if you think the 16v92 is big you should check out the 16v149's they are huge, and do they ever bellow, but if i ever hear 1 go to 3500 i want to be far away very fast

[therabbittree]

Buck is Awesome.. Nice Rides...
Thanks,
Deo

[DEZLFREK]

bucks first ever pull, the diamond T gettin it done.. well almost for some reason we couldnt get the tcase to engage 4wd but he ran it anyway..
