Center of the Universe, Huron County, Ontario. Can | When DDC got away from 2 stroke, there was a void left in that hp range.
So we had a distribution agreement with Navistar .
Took the DT 466 successor engine, all DDC did is add a Series 40 emblem.
The hard parts are 100% Navistar.
The software is 100% Navistar.
The DDEC Software is not compatible with this ECM. Not even a little.
We sold both mechanical Bosch pump models and electronic engines.
Sold to Agco in their tractors. The irony an IH engine in a Deutz Allis..
Sold to Terex in TS 14 front and rear engine scrapers. Two engines per scraper.
Many sold into transit buses. Both in USA and Europe,
Seen lots of replacement Series 40's at our Rotterdam Facility in Netherlands back in 2006.
Lots sold as genset engines
Some sold into European combines etc
Basically the agreement was they could be sold anywhere Navistar did not sell ( so no Series 40 into On Highway trucks )
Sold well over 10 000 in the 1st ten years.
Warranted and serviced by DDC .
It came to an end when the MBE 900-4000 became available once Daimler bought Detroit Diesel in 2000.
Still serviced them for many years after that.
Fun stuff,
I'd love to drop one in my 1460.
But current engine works to good, but if it ever blows.......
Would be meet to have electronic gauges -throttle etc etc.
