FayettesFinest Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You need to run a Detroit in an old piece of equipment to get the full effect. Everybody bad mouths them in trucks, run one in an old Terex loader then tell us how you really feel! lol Quote Being in the process of getting your CDL's is like sitting on death row...

Popular Post rsb502 Posted January 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2014 Got em in lots of older RR machines, hell they still put em in some as they rebuild em instead of swapping to newer engines. Every time an operator says "that engine as leaking oil" I say "check it twice a day instead of once" they say "you aint gonna fix it" I reply "its a 4-53 Detroit if its running its leaking". 5 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the 4-53 and the 6-71 monkey. If you got a 8-71 you get an Orangutang named Clyde all the goodies plus and a kick in the shins also. Got a 12-71 0r bigger Joe Young give you all the goodies plus a kick in the nutz. 5 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Mine only leaks when it's idling at start up. Once it's run, no more leaks. Got to say, it sounds bad ass when you tach it up.

Popular Post 41chevy Posted January 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2014 My Grand Pop had a GMC Crackerbox when I was a kid the had a 6-71 in it. He had an exhaust box (for want of a better word) the the pair of engine pipes connected to and than the stacks came out about a foot in from the ends. The box was an aftermarket item I think. Had a distinct sound that I've never heard since. The is a similar set up, not grand pops truck though his was faded red from the dealer . Only other one I've seen.That an oil puddle under it??
