A LETTER TO TECHNICIANS
The Series 60 engine is entering its 18th year!
Since its introduction in 1987, over 729,000 Series 60 engines have been introduced in the market.
The technological changes that have occurred during those 14 years have resulted in a different
type of engine, requiring a different class of technicians. Today's technician is required to have
computer skills, excellent comprehension of the written word and possess an extensive diagnostic
understanding of the various technological systems and components. Today's technician must
perform at a higher level of efficiency and competency than their predecessors and at the same
time furnish professional quality support.
As the leader in engine computer systems and technology, Detroit Diesel Corporation remains
focused on providing excellence in products, service support and training. As products become
more and more advanced, today's technicians must become specialized in multiple areas. This
manual is designed with that thought in mind. This Series 60 EGR Technician's Guide will
provide you with concentrated information that will allow you to excel in EGR technology.
The Series 60 EGR Technician's Guide supports the October 2002 through current production
