Where is everyone #5

I'm confused on the Series 50 and DT466 as well. First diesel engine I ever took apart was a DT466. Second engine I ever took apart was a Series 50. Completely different.

 

They had a series 50 that was a 4 cylinder version of a series 60. Mostly bus engines my understanding. Then had some DT466 6 cylinder rebranded as series 50 too. Seen many in spotter trucks. But this is all I can tell you. I dont know how or why.

 

MAN you are a youngin!! LOL

 

Gnite from Savannah Ga...

 

Hold up, had to Google it. The rebranded DT466 was apparently a series 40. Not 50. I stand corrected. I was wrong.

Please dont throw me off the island.

 

The old Shadows are common for bobbers. Long production runs give them a huge aftermarket following. I had air ride on mine. Schumacker Air. It worked well...until the shocks started leaking. Then, the air compressor burned up. I got ticked off and put the factory shocks back on.

When the Survival mode ends (IF it ends), I will buy a set of Ohlins.

See this one? Same builder.

Good eye on that bottle. I thought it was nitrous.

 

Guys, I'm going to be absent for a while. Got a family member with some serious health issues that are going to be taken care of next week. Been getting my ducks in a row to take care of it all. You all behave while I'm gone.....or not behave whatever is more fun for ya. I'll be back !! See ya.

They were reminiscing bout old times and jimmies w/o mufflers. Got the son how you know that look after i said love how the old 2 strokes sounded.
