This issue did not affect all pre-2002 Series 60 engines, but it was a problem that occurred and could cause catastrophic engine failure. As with most engines, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your cooling system. Overheating is the cause of many major issues with diesel engines, so maintaining this system can help with many preventable issues.
What causes a Detroit Diesel Series 60 to overheat?
This can indicate a coolant leak. If there is such a leak, you might also notice lower coolant levels in your engine, but things otherwise appear normal. This can lead to an overheated engine. Operators often find that they experience issues with their EGR system on their 14L Series 60 in particular.
