5 Best Diesel Engines of All Time
Names like Cummins, International, Caterpillar, Detroit, John Deere, GM, and Mack all made the list, and the engines we’ve selected represent some of the finest examples of compression-ignition on the planet.

The first 5 axle combination semi to get a speeding ticket of over 100 mph (!!2 mph fully loaded) was powered by a twin overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder Caterpillar 1693 engine, a 15 liter predecessor of the 3406.
Made form around 1962 till 1974, in construction machinery it was denoted as a D343. Most powerful truck engine for a decade you could own.

Still running 38 1986 Pete 359's with 3406B Cats. And have 12 3406B Cats on Standby, when time to Change out an Engine.

The greatest Engine ever built that helped us win WW 2 was the 671 DETROIT DIESELS

Don't know how much you know about diesel engines? In the DT466 segment, you are showing the IDI 7.3L engine!!! Very easy to tell the difference... One was an inline 6, and the other was a V-8!

[richardgee]

The DT466 is an inline six, not a V8.

[realestateavailable]

Your showing a V8 when talking about the DT466 which is an I6!!!

[ianpartak]

The first "60 Series" you showed was actually a 2 stroke detroit

[maxpuppy]

John Deere had great engines in the 60's and 70's

Incorrect data 3406 mechanical, HP was from 255 HP to 515 HP. 3406B could be a PEEC, 8TC, 2EK, 5YG, early 4CK.

[montgomerypoulos]

there's a big difference between a straight 6 dt466 and a v8 7.3 idi cause some of those were a 7.3 idi

[richardgee]

The Cummins KTA was an inline six not a V16.

[henktulp]

This list is incomplete without a couple of I suppose in the USA there is only but few Scania’s??
You showing this Mercedes 5 cil. Engine in this list:just grab some vids and call them the ‘best what a jerk....

[francomtz]

This narrator doesn't know his engines

[robinwidman]

Would be novel if the narration would match the the video of the correct engines. Just saying

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!
