Question: What are the differences in electrics for AC vs. DC dynamic brakes? Adrianspeeder Detroit Diesels, at least the older ones, have a bad reputation for being smoky, oily, overly complicated, and unreliable; but can be trouble free if well maintained. Personally, I like them, and when they're fully loaded they scream like a banshee!! I once sat in the bilge between two 8V71's freshly overhauled out on a shakedown, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise. Each one was rated at 600 hp (marine engines can do it because of the cooling), with twin turbos, and double intercooling, they flat out screamed!!!
