The Deere diesel's are just as loud in the application(s) as the Detroit Diesels IMO.
I think the dB measurements are about the same but the Detroit noise is just more annoying to me.

To me the Detroit noise is more of a symphony, get those twin accelerators going on the TS14 its like playing the pianoI think the dB measurements are about the same but the Detroit noise is just more annoying to me.
Oh man, that is the main reason I kept my 12V-71T. You put 600kw resistive against that and it really "barks".To me the Detroit noise is more of a symphony, get those twin accelerators going on the TS14 its like playing the piano
One of my life's goals is to fit a 671 to the front of one of our TS14's, I see it's quite common in America but nobody seems to do it here, I reckon it would make a huge difference and be great when pulling power with the hydraulics and a full canWhen I had the 671 in my and you were pulling heavy, it would really sound nice. Of course the English at the front of the truck and I'm at the back.
Detroit's have a high pitched whine in them that is in addition to the diesel noise that every other fixed timing engine has, and that whine really gets to the ears even when you can't hear it. A lot of Detroits also don't have a turbo, and that makes a huge difference in noise as well.
I remember a fleet of TS-24s on a coal mine reinstatement job in South Wales back in the late 70s. I need to see if I can find some photos.Back in the 70's I spent a lot of time keeping a fleet of TS 24's running. Good machines. 12V71 Turbo in front with an inline 6-71 turbo in the rear. They were push loaded with a D9.
I've done this in the past with a truck when the cooler burst a seam and another couldn't be acquired fast enough. Only detriment was an increase in exhaust temperature which was easily compensated for by an easier application of throttle, and a slight alteration of the driving style. No long term effects when the replacement cooler arrived and was installed.One way to find out. Its out so block the coolant passages that feed it and put the engine back together and see if it helped.
