What Are The Best Diesel Engines Ever?

Big Cam versions, which is fine because the fourth version didn't last as long and was quickly replaced by the Cummins M14. Over the years we saw improvements including a flow-on-demand cooling system and pulsed exhaust manifold that debuted on the Big Cam 2 engine in 1979, a pressed steel oil pan, and a Holset ht3b turbocharger that It was added to the Big Cam 3 in 1983, and a revised version. cylinder head and pulse exhaust manifold for the Big Cam 4 in 1985. But, before we saw any electronic injection system really take over the market and be adopted by all the other companies, we had an engine that did it first, and that's the Detroit Diesel.

Series 60, which was the first heavy duty truck engine, plain and simple, to bring electronic injection to the market and came out in 1987. Think about it, most American cars still had carburetors at that time or used strange types. of electronic throttle body injection, so seeing this in a heavy duty

diesel

truck engine at the time was literally unheard of. With the 60 series, Detroit developed two sizes: an 11.1 liter and a 12.7 liter, and both were an instant success.  In reality, before any of these

engines

went down, Detroit Diesel was losing market share and they probably would have gone out of business at the rate they were going, so the 60 series can be credited with not only saving Detroit Diesel, but also for becoming its only driving force. most successful engine series in history.

By 1992, just five years after its launch, it was already the most popular heavy-duty truck engine in all of North America, with applications ranging from trucks, boats, generators, emergency vehicles and much more. Detroit Diesel supposedly worked with John Deere in the mid-1980s to fix its dying engine programs, but it's unclear how much John Deere actually helped with the development of the 60 series. Compared to the 50 series, they virtually resolved all the problems and then some. When the 2000s arrived, we saw a new 14-liter version of this engine that lasted until 2011, when the 60 series was phased out and replaced by the DD15.

These are some of the

best

diesel

engines

of all time, and I think there are a few honorable mentions I want to mention, including the 6.7 liter Cummins, the KTA Cummins, the Mack e7, the Volkswagen 1.9 liter tdi , the Detroit Diesel series 71, and much, much more.  As I said at the beginning, this list is in no particular order and there are a limited number of engines I could include in the list if I wanted to keep this video relatively short.
