Its insane how clean that tractor is. All of tractors are rusted to F because i live in the salt belt. Very nice to look at.
One thing i learned from working on so many detroits is, if the motor is empty of oil and new filters is on and empty, you can fill the truck until the oil gets to the a in usa on the dipstick, if its the same dipstick all the trucks ive serviced, after you fire it and the oil circulates, it puts it right to the full mark. I had to figure something out because I got tired of dropping a full oil filter lol
I worked at Detroit Diesel or 10 years. Loved that engine
Are you retired, or do you still wrench a little?
I have the same truck but a Fitzgerald. It's got 303,000 miles and not one issue yet. 550hp Fitzgerald 60 series and a 13spd. Glad I bought it.
550 HP might have played a major role. Most people have under-powered engines and inadequate differentials which cause problems
Cool. Yes both the Detroit Series 50 and the Series 60 were the best of the best
I've been working diesels, American, euros n Asian motors and I've NEVER puncture holes on the bottom of the filters. Another classic case of 'never too old to know something'!!! An awesome technique!!! ALL AMERICAN INGENUITY
Thanx guys!!!d awesome video
Wow, i must be bored........ I do this everyday or to some degree for the last 35 years...... And I'm watching 2 guys service an engine...... Great job guys, this is how i would perform this service...... God bless Mr. Koon !!!!
Haha 🤣 thanks for watching ! I appreciate it and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Got 07 Detroit 60 series... it’s losing power or breaking down then coming back with load on it ...Any suggestions
@@KoonTrucking would a bypass oil filter benefit this engine?
We love our Detroits
I run a 1995 IH 9600 cabover coast to coast with an 1994 11.1 Detroit 60 ddec3. I love that engine, extremely reliable. regular service and run the rack every 100k and she purrs like a kitten.
WOW! You run it coast to coast? That's a trust bond I want with my 12.7 I just got in a '15 Columbia glider. I have algae in the tanks 😤😤!
@@willmann30 I used Diesel Clear from the same company that makes Diesel 911 fuel treatment. It comes in a white bottle with green and black lettering I put 2 bottles in each tank when i filled up took my 34. I let it sit all weekend doing its thing. I had black tanks. You shine a flashlight in the tanks and you couldnt see the bottom of tank the black algae was everywhere! That product worked! I went through filters for a while but the tanks got cleaned and are algae free. I swear by that stuff. Put it in when fueling, top off tanks, park for the weekend or longer if you can akd let it do its thing. Walmart Carrie's it at the best price
What do you mean "run the rack"? You mean the valves?
I have had a Diesel shop for 12 years now and I overhauled tons of Detroit 60 and Cummins N14, Detroit were always getting up to a million miles after overhaul without issues, not so much for N14 had to open them back up around 600K
I'm looking at a 2008 Freightliner with a Detroit 60. Engine has "blow- by". Think it is worth getting? Just sitting at a dealership now.
@@mathewkromeo2934having a high blow by doesn't mean it needs an overhaul, it could be a much less of a repair, but even if it needs an overhaul, it's probably worth buying it cause an overhaul for DD 60 is only around 8-10k$
@@KulinBan777 thanks to both of you for the response. The guy is asking $5000 for the truck. It's a 2008 with a Detroit 60. I just don't know if I can get it to NY.
Where is your shop?
Best engine ever in my opinion and really simple, 12.7 and 14L👍🏼👍🏼
Are 14l any good?
"One of the greatest engines ever made"
You betcha!!!
My 1996 series 69 is being running for 20 years I haven't touch engine,transmission, or the clutch the best engine ever invented
There is something that is very important to know about the oil filter housing/oil cooler on all series 60 engines. The the threaded part that goes into the oil filters can back out of the oil filter housing. When ever you go to spin on oil filters you should grab on to them and turn them clockwise to make sure they did not come loose. It would be a shame to spin the bearings out of one because one of the oil filters fell off.
Very good point
One of the best ever , just like cat 3406,C15,and N14
Yep ! Those are the best
Detroit’s 60 series amazing motor
Anthony Guzman they are ! The 60 series and a 3406 Cat are two of the best engines ever made !
I enjoyed your video. I have a 95 Walmart 9670 with a series 60 engine in it. I’ve not done a PM on it yet. I’ve heard many good things about this engine, especially the 11.1 liter. That’s the second reason why I bought it, the first being that it’s a cabover. You guys did a good job. Thanks for the tips. Make the trip and enjoy the ride!
60 series detroit...what a great engine. great video.
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS they sure are some good ones ! I like working on them. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist or an engineer! Haha 🤣 it’s actually a pleasure to work on them. Labor isn’t nearly as expensive per hour when we work on Detroit 60 series !
I always use the box they come in to stand them. I like that old bearing race idea. Nice addition to my plethora of data in my head lol.
Man I hate laying on my back for this. Love the pit now. Get a good at the whole under side too. Great videos y’all do.
Keep on greazin
First time working on my truck, this video gave me a clear understanding thank you
We have a lot of good videos on how to do it yourself truck fixin’. Check out the playlist
@@KoonTrucking what’s the name of the playlist? When I try looking for your how to vids only find tool review vids thanks

I love this video. I’m a Detroit 60 series owner operator
I use to fill fuel filters out of the can like you guys til one day I didn’t realize my co worker only set the cap on and it wasn’t tight well I made a hell of a mess so now I use one gallon jug lol
My experience with the old 12.7 pre emissions was very good. Money making chunk of cast iron.
Wayne Swicegood i have a 2000 international with a 99 12.7 detroit s60 it has 1.2 million miles past owner said it had an overhaul but no paperwork the trucks been running for me for almost two years no issues except waterpump and alternator should i do an overhaul even though it doesnt burn alot of oil???
Wayne Swicegood any input is appreciated sir
Heck no !! Save your money until it is needed !! Those are great engines. I had a 2002 9400i with a Detroit in it and it had 1.5 million on the factory engine and still ran perfect ! Just keep it serviced and rock on until it needs it
Koon Trucking thank you for your reply
Hello everyone I have a Detroit series 60 for 20 years haven't touch the engine,transmission,or clutch for all that time still running like a baby the only problem I work pulling cotainers and the pier is pushing me to get rid of it because pollution my truck is 1996 fld120 thes best engine ever invented
Have a great day everyone
When you're filling your fuel filters it's awful handy to use a used tide container that has the little spigot that you push down like a watercooler it's awful handy
First truck I drove was a old pete with a 12v Detroit trucks have come along way great videos
chris carpenter the engines haven’t though ! Haha those Detroit’s were some work horses !
Thank you guys so much! I'm so impressed with how clean you are
Them little wood pallets with small casters work great for settin your oil drain pan on to move it easy we used to use them on heavy equipment
Yeah that’s a good idea. We have a large 15 gallon one with an electric pump with casters we use on trucks
Would be a good idea to build a pit to make your job easier and also to do an inspection underneath the truck
Years ago there was.a series 60 in a Peter Bilt with almost a million miles with one oil drain. Pepsi Cola of.Gulf port owned it for several years. Later it was.bought by a guy that hauled Motor cycles. SHELL oil was.checking it. It had Gulf Coast paper towel filters. The mechanics would tear it down ever so often and Shell would measure.the parts. The mechanics would reassemble it and pour the used oil back in. Of course it used Shell Rotella. Conventional I think. The oil was 100% clean 100% of the time. I was talking about it once. Road King asked me for the owners phone number. They did an article on it. When I retired I lost track of it. Worked for a company years ago that had Luber Finers on everything.
Beautiful truck
Great engine there . I will have a video up on just how much I like them soon . I am working on details know so I don't get into trouble . Great job and video I love the 60 series Detroit diesel engines . Thanks again keep up the great work my friend
greatest engine ever hands down !!
Good clear video, Thanks for uploading!
Great 👍 job guys. Was told that Truck was FAST 💨
Brandon Jackson that truck is FAST ! 💨
damn it fires right up. my 95' fld takes like 20-30 seconds to catch prime.
also good to test coolant. i also change coolant filter every couple of months. its not needed but i get coolant filter as a gift from my friends at napa everytime i get the 4 filters.

awesome video Clay & Bill as always great job
Great video, one thing I would change is to fill the filters over the drain pan save time in clean up?
great video, watching that makes me glad I work on cars thou
I had much rather work on trucks instead of cars ! Too damn small getting in all those right places and stuff. No way I would work on cars everyday !
thanks Koon I can now save some $$$ and do it my self great vid.
fer ur look through our truck fixing videos. We have a bunch of them and many more on the way. Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
You forgot to mention closing the fuel valve that runs the fuel through the filter before draining the filters.
Great video. Love the 60 series
Do you know where I can get a wiring harness for my 96 Pete with a 60 series
Great video! !!!
Brett Snyder thank you
Great video
I have a 60 series in my motorhome and I dont put on 20 000 miles per year. How often should I change the oil? If you fill up your fuel filters do you still have a chance of having an airlock.? How often should you change the transmission fluid? Some say dont change that if you are not having problems or the transmission might slip.
I love Napa, but holy hell they are proud of those Gold filters.. I mean they are damn good filters but not THAT good
I have a series 60 in 2006 Coranado. And I don’t see the second filter inside the frame rail. Anyone know where it is ?
Could you please show how to do oil change on 2018 freightliner m2 106 with Detroit DD5 engine please?
Green new deal scary me!! I love diesel's.
Hey brother, I'm going to sound like a complete idiot abd I know that I'll get some back lash, but here we go.
I am in the process of replacing all the coolant lines for the front and rear heater cores. I got pulled from the job to drive. I have a 60 Series Detroit in a 98 XL Classic. I have 2 ports from the oil cooler and 2 ports on the back of the water pump. Can you please tell me where to route the coolant lines to?
Example, I have a coolant line hooked to the oil cooler and the other line from the heater core to the water pump. The other line are hooked up the same way for the sleeper. Is this correct??? Any help is very much appreciated.
So I did this today and I didn’t fill the fuel filters with diesel and I started truck like an idiot. What do I need to do to fix this?
Is there a benefit to using the spin on water separator instead of a Davco system? Or vise versa? Love your videos!
It’s just want this truck was equipped with obviously with the Davco you can see when it’s getting full
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Big Daddypat thank you sir !
Why couldn’t they put the oil filters beside the fuel filter for easy access?
I need some tips on how to get the starter bolt closest to the block on an 2007 freightliner Columbia with a 60 series Detroit. That thing is whooping my but. Thanks
Type in Gordon Robertson starter replacement series 60 on youtube. He's got a cool trick using electric tape on an extension. I know you posted this a year ago but better late than never. His tips worked for me, oh and upgrade to the gear reduction starter. Much lighter and easier starts in winter with less draw plus no core
Enjoyed the video but I have a oil leak over by the turbo thought it was the drain line replaced it and still getting oil by the turbo
Love Detroits ! Still have two 6-71 trucks. Are those gloves in the video, the orange lightning from Cornwell? I was looking at those. Just wondered how you guys liked them?
Eric Snyder I’m not sure what the name is exactly we get them from our Volvo/Mack sales rep. I will look tomorrow and get you the name of them. They are nice. Got grips on them and they are thick !
Really love and appreciate your videos. Got a 07 14L and I am about to do my first oil change myself. Any tips? I love this engine so much, looking a ridding it of the egr.
I just bought a 06 14L, and about to do my firstl oil change next week. How has your journey been so far?
@@trawk244 excellent. Oil change is very easy, engine is extremely reliable.
@@miguelcastillo3712Did you "fix" the egr?
Thanks bro, good job...
Is there a filter that has a dissolving rock in it? Or did i make that up?
Who makes that oil drain pan? Like the looks of it for sure. And I own one of those engine's. But mines a 1995 11.1 in a KW t600. 620,000 original miles.
Pete kildow that pan is a Lincoln you can get one at Napa. The one we have has a hand pump to drain the oil so you don’t have to pick it up. It rolls really good and has a wide place for oil to drain as well as holders for the filters to drain out.
Sir I do local work and run conventional. I Normally change the oil around 10k miles every 3 or 4 months. Just wondering if I should change the oil by hours instead or keep doing it by 10k miles. The truck stays on all day and averages around 50 to 60 hours a week. If so after how many hours would you recommend doing the oil change? Ty in advance sir
I know it’s an old video but I just purchased a pre-emissions 12.7 and I’d appreciate your opinion on injectors. Does anyone other than DD make good replacement injectors? Also, would you worry about the bull gear in it? The engine has about 750K on it and a very good service history but I know that the bull gear hasn’t been replaced. It’s a 2000 model engine so it doesn’t have the compact gear train in it. I used to drive for a small fleet(100) that were all equipped with 12.7s and I never personally witnessed a bull gear failure and they got the crap ran out of them with minimal maintenance . Obviously, since this vehicle is mine if it’s questionable at all I’d rather do it than have it fly apart. Thanks for the videos. Oh, you guys would come out cheaper spending your money on hookers and gambling than to keep feeding that tool buying addiction ya’ll got!🤑👍
You guys don't close the valves on the fuel line before changing the fuel filters? Isn't it necessary?
No
You get more oil out by suctioning the oil out though the dipstick. Its also a good idea to run an engine flush prior to draining the old oil out, especially on diesel engines. Donaldson oil filters are best. Then you should use Amsoil as it provides 6x more wear protection than the DD spec.
Lmao you clearly don’t own a truck the price to change your oil with 10 gallons of amaoil vs cheaper oil for 1 million miles it’s just cheaper to rebuild it 😂😂😂
That’s every 15,000 miles
@@illyapalamarchuk3525 Too soon. If the engine need 10 gallons of oil it would be a lot cheaper to send oil samples to a lab where they can determine if the oil is still good or needs to be changed, regardless of what oil you are using.
I do my the same way
What you think the Detroit Engine Model: 6V-92's
Is a good engine?
The Finest Engines Are Detroit’s 😀😊
Chris Chiampo I couldn’t agree more !!
This have and electric fuel pump no need to pump filter or prime it ????
great videos thank you and i have a question for you how much liters oil does frightliner takes on the oil tank ???
Quick question? Do you use electronic logs in your trucks?
We don’t have any trucks anymore just a shop now
is that delvac 1300 super synthetic blend??
Great vid as always, ahhh the good ole days. Of course 60 series was one of the better engines made, 12.7 was designed and made by john deere ;)
Bearded Seabee82 they are some good ones ! Wished all of them were like that still. Fuel, air, and oil and they just run !
Cool 😎 thanks
Dont ya just hate those fuel cans without the vent on them? Whenever trying to fill something it just coughs and glugs as it flow and you spill it all over the place and make a mess.
Mike Humphrey oh they are such a pain ! I actually took the Saftey feature off that can that’s why it has JB Weld on the spout ! Haha I can not stand that gurgling and burping ! Obviously the guy that came up with that saftey feature has never had to hold a diesel can up while it burps along trying to put it into your tank or filters.
Just punch a small hole with a screw in the handle
I hated timing the old detroit 671 mechanical fuel injectors. Lol great engine though
johnny ringo hard to beat those 60 series Detroits
Looking to buy an oil filter wrench for this engine, can you give me the size? Thank you.
You have a video for fuel separator?
What’s up with that air to air hose. I never saw someone put a rubber one that long on
Is this also applicable to the Mercedes-Benz MBE 4000
The ddec 1 to ddec 3 will not communicate with modern lap tops. Must use the original nexiq system.
You cant even send old ddec 2 out to be uprated.
what cleaner you sprayed on oil plug ?
Have a 2002 FL Columbia with the 60 series. Got a CEL while driving and started losing power. The revs slowly drop til the the engine struggles to stay on and then shuts off. Replaced the fuel lines, filters and pump. Ran fine for around 100 miles then my poor beast started doing the same thing again. Any ideas on what's going on?
What was the CEL for?
@@terryeffinp cummins select
Why dont you take a oil sample if you have a metal in oil?
Is Delvac the best oil for this engine?
I love Mobil DelVac we use it in everything and it keeps things clean
I’ve been using rotella. Would you recommend switching to DelVac on my next oil change?
On our CUMMINS we use seafoam in the fuel filter instead of diesel.
Sir, it's safe to use brake cleaner to clean the oil fill tube, correct?
Obviously don’t spray it down inside the tube but yes
@Koon Trucking Thank you sir.
I have a 3208 Caterpillar and was told not to Prime the filters
John Bartholomew I’ve never have any dealing with cat engines other than 3406 or C13 and C15 engines.
a lot of companies say that because when the filters are in the engine it draws oil from the outside holes through the filter and out the center. technically filling the center of the filter means that oil wont be filtered when you put it back into the engine. another way around it is if you plug the center hole and fill it, that way the oil is forced through the filter
Did you used synthetic oil?
How do you increase the idle on a 93 12.7?
You will have to change the values (settings) in the ecm. If you know someone with a computer they will probably do it for you for really cheap. I figure a dealership will charge about $120-150 or so
Nobody will touch a 1993 ecm to re rate it. Those ecms will not communicate with modern lap tops.
Surprisingly they will just fine.
You can communicate with a DDEC2 using Diagnostic link, the parameters you can change a very limited. To reprogram it you actually have to use a bench top adapter with DDEC reprograming software. We don't see them very often at the shop, but every now and again.
Replaced manifold. Getting a loud scream when accelerate when I'm driving...Help
you either have a hole in one of the hoses going to the air to air or a hole in the air to air itself.i have had the same issue or a oring bad from the outlet fitting from turbo to air to air
What drain pan is that?
What brand is that filter wrench been trying to get one but cnt find the rite size
I think that was the BluePoint i got the entire set of them they weren’t very much
Left hand threads?
I know you guys have been doing this a long time but why are you are filling your filters in the center hole (the return clean side of the filter with unfiltered oil or fuel and not down into the dirty side only (outside row of intake holes)? New oil and fuel are still considered unfiltered. Isn't that why Cat says to not prefill the filters? I know you're doing a 12.7 in this video. From Fleetguard (Cummins) filter install bulletin (Important installation steps for spin on filters:
■ Make sure the filter head is clean and free of damage.
■ Apply a liberal amount of lube oil or diesel fuel to the surfaces of
all filter gaskets where they make contact with the head (Fig 2.).
DO NOT USE GREASE OR FIT WITH DRY GASKETS
■ Check the engine manufacturers’ requirements for prefilling fuel
filters.
Never pre-fill the clean side of the fuel filter).
At Volvo we recommend installing filters dry and pre-priming them for contamination control - it really is worth the time to do it properly
Just a curiosity question? Thanks in Advance.
Should I punch a hole in the new filters before I put them on?
No . You punch a hole in the old filter because it is easier for removal. Just prefill the filters with oil or diesel as well as lubricate the filter seal.
@@d0colb , actually I was just joking about that
@@4321grp good , with today drivers I wouldn't be surprised someone would do it....
No. You're supposed to punch the hole AFTER you put them on. C'mon now, you should know this!
Where is the coolest filter located on the Detroit 60?
Some applications have them and some don’t.
20k miles dam i dont even put that much on mystik full synthetic
Why punch hole in oil filters?
WASHINGTON we do it because it is less messy that way. When you unscrew them oil goes everywhere most of the time and risk dropping a filter full of oil. Just be sure you break it loose first before punching a hole in it if it’s on a truck you have not serviced. If you service it regular you will be ok because you know it was installed correctly.
