6V92 Detroit

[jburgessx2]

I'm new to these Detroit engines. I noticed the 6v92 has two hoses
that hang from the bottom and occasionally discharge what appears to be
some oil. Are these supposed to do that? If so, how much is too much?

There are (4) hoses that hang down. Two are small diameter and are
drains from the air box. Two are about 1" in diameter and they are
rocker box cover breathers. Nothing should come from the air box
drains and small amounts from the breathers.

Those are commonly called "the slobber tubes" and, yes, they normally discharge oil-looking stuff (which is primarily oil).

If the cars following behind you on the highway are sliding off into a ditch, that's too much.

Pete,

No oil-related crashes behind me yet - must mean I'm good to go.

I noticed the motor discharged about a 5" circle of oil after I
parked it after an 1800 mile run (1800 miles in 36 hours). I checked
the oil level and only added about 1 quart (or so) after 1800 miles.
I'm guessing that's not too bad for oil consumption. I think this
motor had an in-frame rebuild about 56k miles ago. So, wanted to
make sure it wasn't doing something out of the ordinary. I can't
imagine the engine going bad already unless it was abused by the PO.

Thanks.

Trying to find the location of my musical hornmodule.There is a blue ribbon wire at the switches that goes into an abyss up under the dash and disappears.

I assume it is behind the lower dash but if someone knows for certain I might save a little time.

Jerry,

From what I've heard about the 2-cycle DD engines (such as the 6v or 8v92) is that they use a bit of oil and the dribble. 1 qt after 1800 miles is not at all excessive. The 5" circle sounds quite normal -- I've seen some busses (with the DD engines) that quite literally dribbled trails of oil during warm up -- but were considered "normal" (though, perhaps somewhat worn).

The primary killer of heavy duty diesel engines is overheating. Otherwise, they tend to be fairly reliable.

Pete,

That's great to know. I just wanted to make sure nothing was out of
the ordinary with this Detroit. I do like how it runs and I really
like the turbo. My Beaver had a 250hp 3208 Cat motor installed.
While I really like how the Cat purred (almost literally purred), it
wasn't the slightest bit fast at all. So, I enjoy the extra
horsepower even though I don't intend on abusing the priviledge.

Thanks again.

Coming from the Boating world every 6v92 and 8v92 applications needed Pampers under the engine bays, and for long runs you needed to wipedown the engine room, but they always kept going.

Scooter,

If it becomes bothersome you can install a trap or a CCV ( Closed
Crankcase Ventilation System )
Racor makes one as well as Walker . They are used quite a bit on
boats.
I didn't like the oily film on the coach or trailer. I installed a
Racor and am very happy with it's performance.

the drip from the slobbertubes is a function of scaveging and
necessary with the two stroke jimmies. There was a time when some
would direct the discharge back to the sump. All the aftermarket
engineering has down sides.

The s60 is four stroke and has a way different setup. If slobber
bothers, you dont sleep sitting up and get a four stroke.

Here is an article on the diffs between 2 and four strokes some times
refered to as two cycle and four cycle. "blower" and "turbo" are also
two terms confused which differ.
