How does HDKits ensure parts compatibility for your Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine?

HDKits has been in business since 2003. Our experienced staff in combination with our vast library of up to date technical support helps us ensure that you get the right parts every time.  Pertinent information, however – like the engine model & serial numbers, would have to be provided in order to enable us to find a suitable match. All trucks with Series 60 engines have a serial number and/or model number etched on the block on the driver’s side or the side where the air compressor is mounted. There are other ways such as year, make and Vin # of the truck, but having the engine serial # is the best way for us to ensure compatibility.

Detroit Diesel’s inline 6 cylinder Series 60 engine has been a success from the start of production in 1987. Available in 12.7L and 14L displacements, the Series 60 was the first heavy-duty diesel engine with fully integrated electronic controls in the world, and with the evolution of its electronic controls, it’s still the leader. The Series 60 engine is the most popular heavy-duty diesel engine in the truck market for 12 years in a row. The overhead camshaft and cylinder head design not only maximizes engine power and performance, but optimizes fuel economy too. The Series 60 has also successfully crossed over into the off-highway markets. The Series 60 delivers up to a maximum 825 horsepower and is available for Truck, Bus, Construction & Industrial, Gen Sets, and Marine applications.

What are the most popular Detroit Diesel engines?

The easiest way to categorize Detroit Diesel engines is by classifying them as “2 Cycle” or “4 Cycle” engines.  A 4 cycle or 4 stroke engine is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes—intake, compression, power, and exhaust—during two separate revolutions of the engine’s crankshaft, and one single thermodynamic cycle. Below is a list of the most popular Detroit Diesel “4 Cycle” engines:

1. Detroit Diesel Series 60 (S60) engine 6 cylinder In-line (11.1, 12.7 & 14L)
2. Detroit Diesel Series 50 (S50) engine 4 cylinder In-line (8.5L)
3. Detroit Diesel Series 40 (S40) engine 6 cylinder In-line (6.7, 7.6 & 8.7 L)
4. Detroit Diesel Fuel Pincher engine 8 Vee (8.2 L)

A two-stroke or two-cycle engine is a type of internal combustion engine which completes a power cycle in only one crankshaft revolution and with two strokes, or up and down movements, of the piston in comparison to a “four-stroke engine”, which uses four strokes to do so. This is accomplished by the end of the combustion stroke and the beginning of the compression stroke happening simultaneously and performing the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions at the same time. Below is a list of the most popular Detroit Diesel “2 Cycle” engines:

1. Detroit Diesel Series 53 engines: 2-53, 3-53, 4-53, 6V53, 8V53
2. Detroit Diesel Series 71 engines:  2-71, 3-71, 4-71, 6-71, 6V71, 8V71, 12V71, 16V71, 20V71
3. Detroit Diesel Series 92 engines: 6V92, 8V92, 12V92, 16V92
4. Detroit Diesel Series 149 engine 8V149, 12V149, 16V149, 20V149
