Detroit Diesel Series 60

This engine (training aid) was rebuilt at NADC (Nashville Auto Diesel College) during the diesel engine course.

Detroit Diesel is prefered by most drivers and fleets because of it's excellent fuel economy (usually up to 10 MPG), A wide maximum torque curve (helps the engine pull better at lower RPMS), Long engine life when run and maintained properly (Engine life can last up to 1,000,000 miles or more).

Thats a brandnew engine why was it rebuilt?

[truckinjeff]

@2253benjamin The engines in this class are training aids. All we did was remove the turbo, intake and exhaust manifolds, rocker shaft, camshaft, EUIs, head, oil pan, oil pump, and a piston and cylinder liner. Then we had to put it back together and run it. Theses engines suffer alot of abuse, they're frequently taken apart and put back together and then run for a short period of time. When we pulled it apart the bearings showed massive wear from poor lubrication.

whats with all the covers on shit cover on the turbo cover on the fan cover on the fly wheel?!?!?!? only pussys use safety guards

[truckinjeff]

@DRNEGOLICIS It wasn't my policy, it was the schools. They don't want the "not so gifted" to loose fingers in a running engine.

Is that Dillard's class?

[truckinjeff]

@pyrohenry Yes

I THINK DETROIT MOTORS ARE THE BEST

[cumminsisldd6050]

@eze6283 Yeah some of the series 60 Detroits are used in the neoplan an460 articulated buses. There are a few videos of it floating around YouTube.

[eze6283]

@quesomarabilla i work in the patch and have run many trucks, detroits wernt to bad of an engine, they are the best on fuel vs. the rest but from my experiance cat and cummins will out pull a jimmy. they arnt as nice to shift, and dont have the jam of the others, there is a couple detroits out there that will kick the shit out of anything but they are few and far between, over all id say they are better suited for highway hauling. id say that it depends on the application that u r using it for.
