Chevy never did use a 2 stroke diesel... Many locomotives untill recently used 2 strokes and the old Detroits were 2 strokes but for the most part 2 stroke diesels are a thing of the past.Wasn't the last time chevy used a 2 stroke deisel in the 70's...

Yeah but those v12s just don't compare to the Cummins I6 as far as frame twisting torque goes. In think they're turning them around the 4500 mark as well, I know theyre hitting 5500+RPMs with the 6BTs right now. Although that V12 was probably the most impressive Detroit puller Ive seen yet.Actually, I think Chevrolet owned Detroit at some point, hence many of the C60+ trucks had an 8.2L Detroit in them. I think those were all N/A however. The 2-stroke V-6's, V-8's, and V-12's of the 70's were actually powerhouses when turned up right, and can actually turn fairly high RPM's. There used to be a pulling team (the LongHorn, a conventional, and the StageCoach Express, a COE) that ran V-12 Detroits.

He's turning about 4200 RPM in that video.
