DETROIT DIESEL FACTORY!!

- The Detroit Diesel Factory was a very impressive shop, no dirt to be found! We run the Detroit Diesel DD16 in 3 of our Frieghtliner Trucks. These Frieghtliners are built strong for the woods. They also build the DD 15, DD13, DD8 and the DD5. All these Detroit's are very nice motors. They also build the DD12 transmission there as well. The new transmission is a very nice setup that Detroit is doing. The new DD5 engine looks very very impressive and is getting very good milage on some test trucks. It will be interesting to see when those motors come out. These motors are still holding strong in our trucks!

The Series 60 pre-egr engines were the finest money making chunks of cast iron and steel ever made. I’m going to run mine for as long as I can!
Last time I was at that plant was style motors I picked up series 60. About 25 years ago
You love to waste fuel I see.
@@blackericdenice yes I do and I also love to mind my own business.
@@prevost8686 Don't like when a brother comment on your comment. Don't comment.
@@blackericdenice OK Felishia.
After 22 years I left the Redford Plant in 1988. I can't believe how much production has advanced since then. It's like going from horse and buggy to rockets. Good work to all at DD.
1988 was when Roger Penske came in, took over Detroit Diesel, and made a lot of positive changes that are still visible in this video.
Most successful manufacturing systems have advanced far beyond what people think ,
I understand why Pam has risen as far as she has there. It’s obvious that she’s extremely professional and detail-oriented and she knows exactly what she is talking about. It’s difficult to find employees like that anymore.
I can't lie to myself but I can dream and I can swear in the name of God and I bear witness that Detroit series 60 was the greatest engine ever built forget about the crap in the market now
reminds me a bit of John Deere's engine works. family went to iowa when i was 13 and we toured engine works, assembly, foundry, commons. boy oh boy i was in my glory that vacation. looks like your crew were enjoying themselves
John Deere and Detroit worked closely with each other to develop the 50 and 60 sieries.
@@williamsnyder4218 those two companies almost merged in the 1980s
I would love to go there! My first rebuild was on a 60 series.
My grandpa told me as a kid, to slam my hand in the door just before driving a Detroit. I ask why? He said a Detroit runs better if you drive it like your pissed off.
Just want to say Thank You to the city and the engine that bear the same name. Detroit. If it wasn't for that great city and engine we may not have won ww2. I am from the country north of the U.S. we had Detroit engines in trucks and various other applications. Even in the engine room on big ships. They were the heart and soul, the backbone of the U.S and Canada and abroad. So Thank you for being apart of not just my life but helping our Troops win the war for both our country's. Thank you Detroit. God Bless You All.
AMEN.
Well they are now owned by Germans.
@@100ververis is it true Mercedes owns DD now?
@@pablocobb5343 Daimler (which is Mercedes) now owns Detroit, Freightliner, Western Star, FUSO and Ford Louisville(changed the name to Sterling than killed it), to mention a few.
@@pablocobb5343 the DD15 is Daimler motor OM472 the DD16 is a Daimler motor OM473 and the DD13 is a Daimler OM471 motor even the FUSO is a Daimler motor as they own 89.29% of that company.
allways liked the series 60's from the first time i drove one. decent power and guts.
+MICHAEL STEWART Thanks for watching!!
I've been to the Detroit factory/restoration plant in toolele Utah.(spelling). It was frik'n amazing. Got to see a fully restored 24v.. I think I remember it being a 124, but it it was around that ci per cylinder. It was taller than me. I was hauling 2 18v's, 1 16v, and 1 24v from there to Seattle. They were great people there and out of the blue gave me a tour of the facility when they found out I was their biggest scream'n Jimmy fan.
I've delivered core s60 to that facility. I thought I was on a old military base.
John that was awesome, thanks for sharing with us.
+chipjr10 Thanks for Watching chip!
I'm surprised the Detroit Diesel sign outside on the building isn't leaking oil
That’s funny, if it ain’t flooding the road with oil, it ain’t a Detroit
🤣🤣😂
perhaps that is because the sign is not painted green? Weren't those older DD engines called "green leakers"?
Series 60 was sadly the last American designed and built Detroit Engine.
I think the EU truck engine makers are more innovative, that could be the reason for the advancing EU engine makers in US truck brands
Finally getting a chance to catch up on videos, this one is really interesting, we have one of those auto 12spd in one of are new trucks. the driver loves it.
This is one of the machines that made America what it is, manufacturing machinery is a large factory of a Nation's strength and pride.
Very cool video, that lady sure knows her stuff!
cool with thours like that. i had the first tour of the volvo trucks factory in 2014 when picked up my new truck. only me on the tour so did not ride around in the small visitors train they have. we walked and jumped around fork lifts driving around and talking to people. guide was very cool. worked there for 13 years. finished with lunsh before i started out with my truck. it was one a podium at the front gate when i arrived. got picked up at my hotel in the morning by a black volvo S80 and driven to the factory. that was a nice trip :)
+Stian That sounds like a great trip!!! Thanks for watching Stian!
"1967 DETROIT DIESEL" just put it up today my friend! Great stuff, keep on keepin on WOODCHIPPER!
Great Tour!! Thanks for doing that!
Wow, that's impressive, and aint it great that they have improved their products and have a good thing going in your state. The lady really knows her s--t.
glad your subs got to see inside a plant BUT even to me was a bit interesting
i worked at the truck plant for 32 yrs, worked on engine line /from putting on carbs to starters to even setting them on to frame. worked in trim putting in the cluster among many different jobs / put tires on the right side every 68 sec's for both & tighten down with a gun bigger than i was. then my last 25 yrs i painted the army trucks & ran robots that took our jobs of painting the trucks.
if you ever get a chance that is a great place to VISIT so glad i can say i am a proud retired worker of General Motors. there still paying my bill's & feeding my family. please, people, keep buying those Chevys lol
+mean joe green Haha Keep buying Chevy's!!
Amen to the Chevys, GO BLUE
Keep buying American only buy American diesels
I went here for a field trip at my career center, it's an amazing shop, and all their work is done to the best of quality
that was just awsum brother thank you so very much for taking us with u on this adventure tell everyone I said hey and still praying for y'all have a good evening stay safe get them chips
Great video John, amazing factory and very interesting
+Rob Miles Thanks for Watching Rob!
this is mind boggling... lol the only thing I can think to say is wow... Did Pam say that their turn around time per unit per station is two and a half minutes?? I can't even get my mind around that figure. I can't do any job in two and a half minutes lol. thank you so much for posting this buddy! phenomenal awesomeness!
+Joshua Pearson Thank you for Watching Josh!! Just Keep Rollin' Buddy!!
i remember those old eagle trailways buses had those 60 series DDE especially the buses that was Manuel transmissions. i loved hearing those engines. They had a sweet sound of there own.
+Clarence Trotter Yes they did! Thanks for Watching
WOW!!! Very very cool John!
as a retired mechanic that was darn cool !
+GLEN MILLER Thanks for Watching Glen! Glad you enjoyed
I get to tour all kinds of neat places in my job. Manufacturing is my favorite whether it's bathtubs, pizzas, toilet paper, GE train, GE jet engines or AG equipment they slightly edge out the under ground mine tours. I guess if I didn't have a brief affair as a machinist, the mines would be on top. Too bad my primary clients are in the energy sector, you can only look at pipes, valves and pressure vessels and fain interest so many times.
Those guys look like truck drivers, the heart of freight moving in the USA. Maybe they're buying a new truck and will be deciding what engine to order with it.
I'd love to go there one day I love Detroits
These new engines won't ever be as cool as the old 2 stroke detroits
yeah, those 2 strokes WERE one of a kind........UNIQUE to say the least
Brown Cheese They’re not nearly as reliable as the Series 60 was either. The Series 60 was the pinnacle of a reliable and fuel efficient power plant.
@@prevost8686 no motor is as reliable at the moment as pre emissions restrictions diesel motors.
Looks EXACTLY like inside the Mossville Engine plant before they tore it down. We tested all our Cat engines in Hot test cells also, I loved that job.
Awesome video man appreciate it!
+Travis NYE Thanks for Watching Travis
Awesome tour, have yall ever thought about glider kits? Guy i work for has quite a few trucks and has had just about all the motors. Fed up with emissions and in 2015 bought 2 new built glider freightliner coronados with s60's. So happy with them aint turnin back. Then the next year picked up a 389 kit and built it ourselves with c15. They are awesome trucks
I'm not a trucker but heard that the good old EPA made those illegal a year or two ago... more government regulations to make people use less reliable more expensive equipment, if I understand correctly.
That building is clean enough to eat off the floor
awesome video would love to go down there some day myself.
+Larry Taylor Thanks for Watching Larry!
Cool! nice tour
+yveskc1 Thanks so much for Watching
I used to machine cylinder sleeves on a CNC lathe and also big universal joints, all alloy. From me they went to the honer for very high accurate sizing and smoothing of the metal.
I wonder if they ship out and get materials in via a Peterbilt with a Cummings or Volvo, LoL?
You guys walked through the whole factory and the most excited all of you got was when you saw the lockers lol. Very impressive factory. I had no idea Detroit Diesel was that big still.
+Brandon Damato lol We had a good time in there. Thanks so much for Watching!
I'M NOT SURE IT'S DD THAT'S STILL THAT BIG,,,,,,,,,,MORE LIKE DAIMLER BENZ IS THAT BIG,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOOK AT MACK TOO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOW THEY'RE OWNED BY VOLVO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,,,,,,,,,,,,NOTHIN' EUROPEAN IS AS GOOD AS PLAIN OLD FASHIONED ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MADE IN THE U.S.A.
@@yardlimit8695 Diamler Trucks North America is the only big truck company to not go broke and need a bail out yet.
Nothing will replace the sound they used to make because now they just sound like regular truck engines.
+Alex Williamson'sadventures You know your right!! Love the sound of those old Detroit's!
Well I am very lucky to have two operating fire trucks and one construction vehicle that still has those in my area.
I'm happy to say I've got a few where I live. And one of them I happened to catch a video of on my RUclips channel. It's a road reclaimer with an 8V53. Also we have a rescue squad truck that has one, in the old pump or that has one
The 16V4000 sounds pretty nice. I don't miss the bellowing 149s.
Learned to drive on a GMC top kick w/ a 318 screamer. Sounded incredible, but I'm a CAT guy now.
i am a jabroney well did car buy emd from gm a few years ago along with gm selling all but dmax for diesels pretty much
I worked there from 66-88 and this video blows me away. It was like going from caveman to StarTreck. So clean, and you can even talk and hear others without screaming over the machines.. I'd love to go back and see it myself.
+Bob Homer That place is really really nice! Thanks for Watching
The cook clan at Detroit!! Oh yea! Awsome place! And toughest engines I n the world in my opinion
+arborist460 Detroit will never be the same!! Lol Thanks for Watching
There’s nothing wrong with floating the gears if you’re experienced, shops frown upon it, but they’re not the ones having to push the the clutch in a thousand times a day. And the wear is minimal, unless you’ve got a driver who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
That's funky lookin axles
Thanks for a great video. I must help you out here. Detroit Diesel does NOT make motors period!!! However they DO make ENGINES!! LOL!!!
This is True and again thanks for the awesome video.
Awesome tour. Those are not motors. They are engines. A motor is driven with electricity while an engine uses mostly fossil fuels with internal combustion.
Ford Motor Company
GM (General Motors)
Toyota Motor Company
Honda Motor Company
Nissan Motor Manufacturing
My point is that you’re splitting hairs about something nobody, not even the manufacturers, give a crap about.
I take that is Pamela ? Very impressive Lady and factory
+Jim Krueger Yes that's Pam. She knows what she is talking about. Thanks for watching
I've been on that tour. Pam is awesome. I think her answering my dad and i's questions added about 2 hours to the tour. But she had an answer for every one.
Great video!
+Julie Wymer Thanks For Watching Julie!
incredible technology
Nice video. That looks like quite a place.
+Dyno 625 It was. Thanks for watching
Who will buy Detroit next if Mercedes sells them that's the question lol we need more gm style 2 strokes
Dyno
Great video
What a great video and tour. Thanks for taking us along. Are all engines "generic," that is, they are all made the same (for the specific model, e.g. DD16)? Is anything "custom built," according to some customers specs or requirements? When the reach the end of the line, an engine could go to Frieghtliner, the next to WS, the next to ???? Is that right? Great stuff! No, really great stuff!
The old 2 cycle engines just could no longer pass any form of emissions testing. They were hard to beat getting a power stroke on every rotation of the crankshaft.
When in the Army at the transportation school I got training on the 6-71 engines used in the landing craft - LCM-8 .
60 series was a fantastic engine
very interesting great vid thanks!!
+Mike Daugharty Thanks for Watching Mike
+Mike Daugharty Amen Mike!!
Haha bammage on the logger Wade hat making a Detroit diesel tour!!!
great vid John
+rusty81rust Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. What I don't understand is why did they returned the DD-15 from 560 hp to 505hp?
Awhhh man you didn't go to where we cut the ring and pinions! But I agree this place is built around precision and tight tolerances. Our parts will get rejected for being 5microns out!
Is Dave Gedokee still at DD working as plant maintenance supervisor ? I worked closely with him in 2003 and 2004 fixing the hundreds of roof leaks made by the in house sheet metal workers who installed the unused multi million dollar air purification system that crosses the entire main building ,i came back in 2006 to manage the roof lift where the axels were being made ,you can see the history making largest roof lift in history we did at DD that ends very near to the shipping & receiving area at the back of the plant by searching youtube for " raising the roof Detroit Diesel " ,i took back over $130,000 in copper aluminum brass & steel off the project and got to keep all scrap metal monies as part of my contract ,the scrap metal recycling business right across the street was bringing me a 30 yard dumpster for copper every 3 days and another 30 yarder once every 2 weeks for the all aluminum air handling units we removed from the building ,every area of the plant where the roof is black cap sheet without gravel is the roofing my crew installed ,we also put a new roof on the back of the building under the new blue swamp cooler system thats right across from the insanely loud engine dyno room ,if Dave Gedokee is still working drop my name and he will tell you im not lying about being the senior foreman on the roof raise .
As a former machinist those CNC are impressive. Cast iron is almost always cut dry. One the water will cause it to rust quickly and second the cutting tools are designed to run dry in cast iron. They also weren't as fast as they could. Ive seen cast iron cut where it comes off red hot but they could maximizing tool life instead of cycle times. But that is an extremely high tech plant and is kept clean because FOD is the biggest concern internally. I work with aircraft engines now (PW) and FOD is a huge issue during assembly.
+Mike Buffing Thanks so much for Watching Mike!
@That Chipper Guy, The DD16-5 models sound suspiciously like gears. Do you have to use a matching gearbox according to those numbers? Would you have to use a 5(or 6?)-speed gearbox with the DD5, for example?
Awesome 😎
Well that explains my DD13. No oil leaks , smooth , amazing engine. 1 2 million m
I'm surprised at the lack of gloves and ear plugs on the assembly line, as well as walking in and around the machinery. But it doesn't look like there is a good walkway either for pedestrians and tour groups. Interesting to see only one person per station instead of 2-4 people. It is interesting to see all of the automation.
The only drawback, you can only get the DD15 or DD16 in Western Stars or Freightliner.. great motor, not so keen on the truck...
Yeah
Boys that CNC machine was taking a swipe out
I love her coat!!
I'm a proud Detroit owner
Impressive
This woman is great 👍
Looks better than that 238, 290,318 and 350 i ran in them old trucks I drove years ago. The 290 had a two stick 4x4
Uno de los mejores motores de todos los tienpos detroit
I have a few trucks, I have a serous 60, man l love that engine, dd15 and dd13 are ok, but the serious 60 is bad, I’m hoping I can keep it forever, I’m from California
Detroit de lo bueno lo maximo super motores
My mistake as the 2 strokes were around in the 60s. I thought that's what you meant by s60.
Sound like someone is doing some precision fitting work at 5:50
awsome tour bud!! tell ya one thing FO sho! iffn I had to drive a brand new shaker now that's not a glider kit that is darn sure the motor I would want in it!! I've drove several Ole early 2000s Kenworths with series 60s in them pullin double pneumatic diamond trailers haulin cement powder that had well over a million miles on them!! and still got the job did!!
+CAT DIESEL POWER Yeah buddy!! These new DD's are nice! Thanks for watching
CAT DIESEL POWER I drive 600hp 1850 ftlb DD16 everyday! I freakin love it! Pulls all the way down to 1000 rpm! Shifts 250 rpms....1250/1500 through a b ratio 18 spd 3.58's on 22.5s loaded 100k lbs. did I say I freakin love it? Oh, it's in a 2017 Coronado 122 SD
Cut my teeth on the steering wheel of an 8v92/13 speed road ranger, long before I had my drivers license. I miss the sound of that screaming demon.
+89nissancrawler They sure can make some noise! Thanks for watching
89nissancrawler
She knows a lot of guys like that. That reef through the gears. Lol! She likes the reefing.
Long live the 2 Strokes !
Sweet😜
quick question, did humans make those cylinders at 8:12, or was it computerized machinery?
nice video but you you better be careful case your cats might get mad at you for looking at them Detroit power. keep up the great videos
+Kenny Mysak haha Hey gotta have a motor for those trucks. Thanks for watching Kenny
That Chipper Guy build gliders and cat power them with c.17
If there's any hope for the future of the 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engine in trucks, i would suggest cutting the 12v149 in half for an 894 cubic inch in-line 6 cylinder motor. Combined with the lower RPM's of a longer stroke and the addition of some modern motor electronics, i think this set up would FAR Surpass anything on the market today for power and efficiency.
Do detroit offer any short courses for aftertreatment and powetrain
Wooooow
those are the biggest shiniest boat anchors I ever seen. they should of kept the 12.7 and left it alone. Now we have a engine you take one bolt off and you have 20 that need to be readjusted and calibrated and resealed by the dealer at 160 an hour.
I guess what I like the most is nobody has to wear a hard hat all day. My kinda place.
half the Detroit I've seen have "made in mexico" on them. XD
But still I like the way they run this factory. Is it purely an assembly plant?
Could be worse Cummins parts are made in India or China and assembled here.
Impressive video but I worked for Atlas Copco Wagner Mining in Portland Oregon as a diesel mechanic we manufactured hard rock underground mining equipment and I used to setup engines and converters to be installed in our machines. One of our checks was checking the crankshaft end play on every engine. Well we used a lot of D60 motors well one D60 I got would not rotate and hand 0 end play with the flywheel installed from Detroit. Well I got all the inspectors over their with the dial indicator hooked up then I loosened up the flywheel bolts that where torque sealed . Their was quite a preload on that crankshaft it moved more then the normal .010 end play I remember it moving .030 or more until it settled down to the normal spec. Somebody must have been mad at their boss that day. I can’t believe they let that engine out of the factory.
Muy vien yo apoyo diteroy disel
Was this a private tour or do they give tours to everyone? Theres nothing like the sound of an old DT.
👍👍👍
+VideosByAl Thanks for Watching Al!!
Can you imagine how much the company is saving in labor costs by operating in North Carolina? When Peterbilt moved to Denton Texas from California in 1980 the cost of labor was cut by two thirds. An auto worker in California was paid three times more than an auto worker in Texas. The future of manufacturing in the U.S. is in third world states of the South.
Nothing beats a 6V92TA and an HT-754.
I had that combo and though I love the sound of a Screaming Jimmy I’d take a Series 60 (pre-emissions) mated to a B500 Allison any day . The QC of the new DD15 is the best DD has ever had. Unfortunately, the mandated emissions systems that were forced upon manufacturers before the technology was even close to being reliable. I’d estimate that at least 90% of breakdowns and engine failures are directly related to the emissions garbage killing the engines.
They should have changed the name after they stopped the 2 strokes :P
While I was a Cat Marine Mechanic in Key West, I replaced A LOT of DD two cycle engines with a Cat with the shrimp boat needing to be reproped as the Cat produced more power. The two stroke engines many times needed rebuilding in as little as 8, 000 to 10,000 hours while the Cats lasted on average 25,000 hours. The Cats used 2/3rds as much fuel as well. The DD Series 60 when it went Marine was the same.
Why? The series 60, 2000 series and 4000 series were logical upgrades of no longer viable designs. The big girls were split off to MTU but all are quality items.
They have a robot's installing sleeves..... that's where the jobs are going!!!
Yes, but the robot does a more reliable job at anytime vs jimbob who is hung over every Monday morning.
The DD16 and 13/15 engine are the best truck engine made today hands down.
Holy cowww!!! I work there noww😍😍
How do you like it? Im on layoff from GM and thought about applying there
Is it hard to get hired in here after completing your probationary period?
I'm sorry
