I hate the Detroit 2 strokes with a passion.
They did pretty well on stationary/marine applications.

What oil do you use in it? It requires a special sae40. My state banned the 2 stroke diesels 30 years ago so we never see them here.
Locomotive engines are not technically detroits unless it is a tiny yard engine or something. EMD was locomotives and a part of GM at one time. The largest 2 stroke Detroit was the 149 series.Even stationary/Gen Set applications? I'm sure many 2-stroke Detroit's run up & down the California coast....What about Locomotives?
Ours doesn't, just a heater for the outdoor building it is in.I had the very same fire pump at a place that I serviced. A shopping center. It was sure loud when it ran. The engine had a heater on 24/7. So it never had a cold start per se.
What state is that? Sounds like some massively overbearing government.
In 1998 I rode a greyhound from Hudson,Wi to Mesquite,tx. I thought the green leaker sounded great...... For about 20 minutes then I couldnt wait for the noise to stop. Bus was a manual too.I hate the Detroit 2 strokes with a passion.

1995 was when they stopped making most of the 2 stroke Detroits so Cali may have banned them but they were done anyways. The 149 series went to 1999.
I believe they banned them regardless of age back in the 90's. Today every diesel in the state over 14k has to be a 2011 or newer.Ban the sale of new ones? Or ban the use of them? Neither would surprise me with California.....Ban something that was on it's way out anyway.
I knew Locomotives didn't use Detroit's.....But EMD's are 2-stroke all the same right?
They weren't all that loud in buses, well insulated engine bay and decent muffler.In 1998 I rode a greyhound from Hudson,Wi to Mesquite,tx. I thought the green leaker sounded great...... For about 20 minutes then I couldnt wait for the noise to stop. Bus was a manual too.
Must have been missing the covers or insulation.They weren't all that loud in buses, well insulated engine bay and decent muffler.
Not any worse than the 60 series that often replaced them.
