Definitely going to have to put it on the list to find a 110, I severely dislike the v Detroits so that one is extra cool

I've never seen a 110 and I have been doing Detroit's forever.

Here----only one I know of that glides on blacktop. LTL Mack.

didn't they have a 110 marine engine?

Yeah, I know of one in a tugboat.

Well for sh!t sakes---that's where your suppose to find Detroit's.

I drove a Kenworth Hustler. It was a cement truck. It had a 671 with a 13 direct. The owner of the company said all I can say is drive it like you hate it, cause if you start lugging it around, it will blow a head gasket. I guess I didn't hate it enough, because she blew a head gasket. For not taking his advice, I had to help change said gasket. I backed under the plant for my first load after, I set the mixer to full mix, and hit the hand throttle at the back to full. about halfway through, there was oil running out from under her. I shut her down, and the oil mixed with fuel was coming out the oil cap. I had missed tightening one of the fuel lines under the valve no valve cover. On the bright side, the oil on the dipstick was clean as a new engine, after it was changed, unlike the old quarter cab macks in the yard.

So they have a turbo, and no super charger?

When I was younger the "Schilli" yard in E. St. Louis, IL had at least one and I think two switcher engines having 4-149 Detroit Diesel engines installed. Looked like an oversized 4-71 but much larger. Very slow revving engine too but had that distinctive two stroke sound.

Two strokes have to have a supercharger otherwise they can't run, they can start with a supercharger and run only on the turbo kinda with a broken supercharger.

You need to look at the video again.

 

[petepilot]

I have only seen 1 truck with a 110 in it co4000 int. Out of w.va. steel hauler seemed to do a good job

Forgetting what they called the older blowers some of the 110's had. Instead of the common style you see on all the smaller Detroits from 53's through 92's known as a Roots Blower.

I recall one 110 we had as a stationary power for a crusher. That had a blower that used a compressor wheel that looked like a compressor wheel out of a turbo charger. But instead of being driven by exhaust it was powered by the gear train of the engine.

A bearing failed in that and the power unit was replaced with a Roots blower version of the 110 power unit.

Then when that one had problems it was replaced with a 8V-71 PTO engine power unit.

Did a little search and found this info:

This was from a boating magazine but basically the same engine, the blower was a "centrifugal blower".

Never seen one that looks like that. I was expecting the side mounted blower like the 671

Been a lot of 53 series in pleasure boats. They were popular for their lighter hp/weight ratio when you had a 40 foot cabin cruiser that you wanted to have half a chance to get up on plane

Doesn't that 110 in the Mack have the side mount Blower? The video moves around so much hard to get a clear view of it. Believe it is down low on the right side as you sit in the seat.

See yellow arrow, top of blower is just under exhaust manifold:

 

[kshansen]

Here's a somewhat blurry view of a different 6-110 Detroit where you can see the blower. This one has the water cooled exhaust manifold and no turbo like the Mack has feeding it's blower.

Most of the Budd cars, ( Rail Diesel Cars ) if not all, had pancake 6-110,s which were replaced with 45 degree 855,with TD trans. We had 6 of them at BC rail. When they discontinued passenger rail. They were sold off or scrapped, all spare engines were scrapped . I got 2 rebuilt ones out of the scrap car for my friend. He put one in his LW, they had big air compressors on them, still in the truck, it’s retired and the owner has passed on

ee yellow arrow, top of blower is just under exhaust manifold:

Correct.

Different supercharger...maybe a "Paxton" ?
