    Detroit 2-53 Converting Fuel to Noise

    No idea on the history.:( I found it in a scrap yard where it was piled on a bunch of junk. I estimate it had been outside in the elements for 25 plus year, no oil pan and open to mother nature. It was probably removed from service because it was worn out and eventually went to scrap. It...

    Detroit 2-53 Converting Fuel to Noise

    Here's a quick video of my 2-53 working in a 1965 Allis Chalmer forklift. Engine now has 18 hrs since the swap.:)

    What are you working on today?

    Just did the brakes on my F350.:) Replaced both rear rotors, one rear caliper and all new pads, with Detroit Axle parts. Getting 55,000 miles out of a set of pads on those nasty rotors. With the new rotors I should be getting 75,000 or so.:)

    50,000 miles on my Detroit 4-53T swap.:) Here's the update.:)

    Thanks, I kept 13 sensors off the 6.4 and adapted them to the Detroit. Without the sensors the 5R110 won't shift, so that's how I got around that issue. Instead of using torque values to shift the 5R110, I used speed and rpm. After many hours of tuning I got it dialed in so it shift like...

    Very close, once at hwy speeds the tire noise is louder than the engine.:)

    50,000 miles on my Detroit 4-53T swap.:) Here's the update.:)

    It's very similar to the 6.4 in mileage, 15-16 mpg city, 18-20 hwy, and 11-13 towing.

    50,000 miles on my Detroit 4-53T swap.:) Here's the update.:)

    I'm running the stock Ford PCM/TCM and tuned with HPTuners.:) Yes I made both the housing adapter and the crank/flywheel adapter. Detroit flywheel, adapter, then the Ford flexplate. Thanks, yes all mechanical governor and the weight is a couple hundred pounds more than the 6.4 was. I don't...

    400 miles road trip down to -40C on WVO

    Fantastic, the oil change intervals are 6000 miles, which is half the normal interval because I'm running veg oil. If left unchecked the veg can contaminate the lub oil and cause polymerization.

    400 miles road trip down to -40C on WVO

    I'm getting 15-16 city, 18-20 hwy, and 11-13 towing. Those numbers are mpg us on diesel, so on veg it's approximately 10% less. I start and stop on diesel and switch to veg oil when I'm at 140f coolant temps. By 1202 are you refering to diesel?
