The Detroit Diesel Series 71, affectionately known as the "Big Cam," is a legendary in-line two-stroke diesel engine that dominated the heavy-duty trucking industry for decades. Introduced in the 1950s, it revolutionized truck transportation with its powerful performance and durable design. The engine's hallmark feature was its distinctive large, horizontally mounted camshaft, which gave it its nickname. The Series 71 was offered in numerous configurations, boasting a wide range of power outputs ranging from 150 to 700 horsepower. Its versatility made it suitable for a variety of applications, including long-haul trucking, construction equipment, marine vessels, and even military vehicles. The Series 71's success stemmed from its innovative design and robust construction. Its two-stroke cycle allowed for a simpler combustion process, requiring fewer moving parts and ultimately increased efficiency. Additionally, the engine's ability to run on a variety of fuels, including kerosene and diesel, made it incredibly adaptable. Despite its long reign, the Series 71 was eventually phased out in the late 1990s due to stricter emissions regulations. However, its legacy lives on as a symbol of American engineering ingenuity and its impact on the trucking industry remains undeniable. Even today, the Series 71 is revered by diesel enthusiasts for its raw power and distinctive sound. While it may no longer be in production, the Detroit Diesel Series 71 continues to inspire awe and admiration, forever etched in the annals of automotive history.
