The Detroit Diesel Series 60 was one of the big dogs of the trucking industry for many years. Most Newells produced between 1995 (some 1994's) and 2005 (some 2006's) were powered by DD Series 60's. It is a strong 4 cycle inline six cylinder engine which replaced the 8V92 500 HP engine Newell used from the mid 1980's through most of 1994. Detroit Diesel recommended an engine rebuild every 750,000 miles. The Series 60 was sold to DaimlerChyrsler AG in 2000. Eventually, the Series 60 was made available for over the road use only to their Freightliner Division.
