Genuine Parts
Neglect any of these issues can lead to premature engine
wear and ultimately failure. Don't take a chance with your valuable
engine. Stick with the experts...stick with Detroit Diesel genuine
parts.
 Cylinder
Heads:
| Machined
Gasket Surfaces |
|
Why are machined
gasket surfaces
important? |
Problem: Gasket surfaces are not properly
machined |
|
Effect: Reduces the effectiveness of the
gaskets sealing ability |
|
End Result: Leaks, erosion of the surfaces
and gasket failure |
| "Racetrack"
Seal and Three-Volt Cam Covers |
|
Why is a racetrack seal
and three-bolt cover important? |
Problem: Head not machined for new
"racetrack" seal and not using three-bolt cam cover design |
|
Effect: Improper sealing |
|
End Result: Increased chance of oil leaks,
low oil pressure, premature engine wear and increased downtime |
| Three-Angle
Valve Seat Machining |
|
Why is three-angle
valve seat machining
important? |
Problem: Three-angle valve seat machining is
not utilized on many non-genuine cylinder heads |
|
Effect: Can cause incomplete valve seating |
|
End Result: Poor performance, lack of power,
low fuel economy and premature engine failure |
| Originial
Blueprint Specs |
|
Why is it important to
use original blueprint specs" |
Problem: Non-genuine suppliers do not have
access to the most current blueprint parts and tolerances |
|
Effect: Non-genuine suppliers are unable to
remanufacture parts with the most up-to-date specs |
|
End Result: Poor quality, fit and durability,
as well as possible engine damage |
 Fuel
Filters:
| Better
Particluate Filtration |
|
Why is it important to
block more particles? |
Problem: Particles passing filter |
|
Effect: Contamination erosion and sludge
build up in injector bodies |
|
End Result: Improper fuel spray, lowered fuel
economy, loss of power, misfires, hard starts and injector failure |
| High
Quality Media |
|
Why does it matter if
the media is of higher quality? |
Problem: Poor quality media |
|
Effect: Improper seal, lowered efficiency,
poor filtration |
|
End Result: Unreliable performance, shortened
lifespan and fuel contamination |
| Exceeding
The Standard |
|
Why did filter
requirements change, and why is it importantly to have a POWER GUARD
filter in my post-2004
Series 60?" |
Problem: Post-2004 Series 60 engines have
updated fuel systems that require a higher level of filtration.
Some competitor's filters do not meet these new standards.
Power Guard filters are designed specifically for the series 60 and
exceed industry standards |
|
Effect: Less than adequate filtration |
|
End Result: Improper fuel spray, lowered fuel
economy, loss of power, misfires, hard starts and injector failure |
| Original
Blueprint Specs |
|
Why is it important to
use original blueprint specs? |
Problem: Non-genuine manufacturers do not
have access to the most current blueprints and specifications. |
|
Effect: Inaccurate specifications |
|
End Result: Poor quality and durability,
out-of-spec operation and unreliable performance. |
 Injectors:
| ORIGINAL
PROGRAMMING CODES |
|
What are programming
codes important? |
Problem: Injector not set to correct
calibration code
|
|
Effect: Low fuel output
|
|
End Result: Off timing, poor fuel economy,
lost horsepower, incomplete combustion, burned piston domes and
premature failure.
|
| ODEC
Compatibility |
|
How does pressure
affect the outdated components? |
Problem: High pressure with low pressure
components
|
|
Effect: Pressure exceeds limits of older
parts
|
|
End Result: Poor performance, unsafe pressure
levels, premature failure and/or engine wear
|
| Genuine
Detroit Diesel Components |
|
Why is it important to
have genuine Detroit Diesel components? |
Problem: Non-genuine parts are used in
injector rebuilding
|
|
Effect: May not be up to par with Detroit
Diesel specifications
|
|
End Result: Unreliable performance, possible
failure and increased down time
|
| Strator
Erosion |
|
How does erosion of the
stator face shorten injector life? |
Problem: Stator face erosion
|
|
Effect: Short circuits and/or open wired in
the stator
|
|
End Result: Poor performance and fuel
economy, incomplete combustion and eventual injector failure
|
| Original
Blueprint Specs |
|
Why is it important to
use original blueprint specs? |
Problem: Non-genuine suppliers do not have
access to the most current blueprinted parts and tolerances
|
|
Effect: Inaccurate tolerances and/or
clearances
|
|
End Result: Poor quality, fit and durability,
out-of-spec operation as well as possible damage
|
 Water
Pumps:
| Gear
Teeth Machining |
|
How does poor machining
weaken the gear?
|
Problem: Gear teeth machined incorrectly
|
|
Effect: Weakens the gear
|
|
End Result: Reduced structural
integrity, broken teeth, component failure and possible gear train
failures.
|
| Six-Vane
Impeller |
|
Why is six-vane impeller
better than a seven-vane?
|
Problem: Improper seven-vane impeller used
|
|
Effect: 10% decrease in cooling capacity
|
|
End Result: Poor cooling capacity and
performance, overheating, premature engine failure and increased
downtime
|
| Retention
Beads |
|
Why are hose retention
beads important?
|
Problem: Pump does not include inlet and
outlet retention beads
|
|
Effect: Improper sealing
|
|
End Result: Increased chance of coolant
leaks, overheating, premature engine wear and increased downtime
|
| Impeller
Shafts |
|
Why are straight shafts
important?
|
Problem: Impeller shafts are not perfectly
straight
|
|
Effect: Impeller wobbles on shaft
|
|
End Result: Out-of-spec operation, increased
wear, weakened shafts and a shortened life span
|
| Original
Blueprint Specs |
|
Why is it important to
use original blueprint specs?
|
Problem: Non-genuine suppliers do not have
access to the most current blueprinted parts and tolerances
|
|
Effect: Non-genuine suppliers are unable to
remanufacture parts with the most up-to-date specs
|
