do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
used to have three cranes running Cummins V8s ... a 504 in a Grove TMS180 and two 555s in a Coles 25/28 and an 825 Supertruck .... twin stacks ... virtually straight throughs ..... sounded absolutely glorious .... whichever way out of my old yard was an uphill pull, but gentle enough to 'make progress' up the box :love::love::love::giggle:

Good old detroit 2 stroke diesel had one in terex scraper and had one in champion grader ,Grader was a direct drive and when you hit a hard bit you had to be quick on the clutch pedal or the fire would be out

Didn't the yank truckers used to say that Detroits were like young women ....... sounded real good round town but didn't perform when you got them out in the hills 🤣

I do like the sounds that the old diesels made and used to like the smell ....we live in different times 🙄

a mate had a bedford 6 wheeler roll on skip truck that had a detroit 2 stroke in it i think a v6 his sometimes would start in wrong direction if he nearly stalled it or similar black smoke would fill the cab etc it had some sort of flap on engine inlet to be able to stop it if engine ran away. he thought it was not powerfull enough when it was up to its max weight and soon sold it on, think for export.

No, that's how they sound as standard, my Dad has one that he goes to shows in.
They are a multifuel engine, primarily to run on diesel, but in combat uses can run on pretty much any fuel, petrol kero, jet, or oils as along as it has a bit of diesel/oil mixed with it. On the pump there is a fuel density measuring device that adjusts the fueling to suit the fuel used at the time.
They are built straight piped from new.
