Скачать или смотреть How Arrogance Destroyed Detroit Diesel's Series 60

Detroit Diesel’s Series 60 was the engine truckers trusted more than any other. It dominated the 90s, rewrote the rules of reliability, and built a loyal following that stretched from independent drivers to the country’s biggest fleets. But behind the scenes, the culture that created it was falling apart, replaced by decisions driven by pride, denial, and pressure to keep the spotlight at any cost.

As emissions rules tightened in the early 2000s, Detroit Diesel rushed out a new version of the Series 60 that was never ready for real-world trucking. Internal warnings were ignored, testing was cut short, and the company assumed their legendary engine could survive any shortcut. Instead, oil consumption issues, turbo failures, cooling problems, and runaway maintenance costs spread through fleets that had once sworn by the Series 60.

Truckers who built their livelihoods around this engine suddenly found themselves stranded, blamed, and dismissed by the same company they had supported for years. Fleets abandoned their long-time loyalty, warranty claims exploded, and Detroit Diesel watched the engine that made them a powerhouse slip through their fingers. This is the story of how the most trusted engine in America collapsed under its own overconfidence.
