The Detroit Diesel Series 60 is an inline-6 cylinder engine that was first manufactured in 1987. This engine started as the most popular on-highway Detroit diesel engine. They were electronically controlled by the proprietary Detroit Diesel Electronic Control (DDEC) system. The DDEC was the main engine used for fully electronically controlled on highway engine and no other engine manufactured could had this capability for many years.

Functions of the DDEC

A bonus to the DDEC system permitted the owner to be able to download periodical engine management reports. This report would track over speeding, excessive idle time, hard braking and other issues that would harm the engine. This would allow the owner to monitor a variety of items such as abuse to the engine and track important items for production levels.
