Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L Engine Specifications & Applications

Overview of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L Engine

The Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L is the final and most powerful evolution of the iconic Series 60 engine family. Introduced in the early 2000s, this inline 6-cylinder, 4-stroke turbocharged diesel engine was developed to meet the increasing horsepower and torque demands of both highway and off-highway applications—while retaining the Series 60’s hallmark durability and serviceability.

With a displacement of 14.0 liters (855 cubic inches) and power outputs exceeding 575 horsepower, the 14L engine delivers robust performance and efficiency for marine propulsion, industrial power units, oilfield equipment, and generator systems. This engine is equipped with DDEC IV and DDEC V electronic control systems and features advanced fuel mapping, efficient turbocharging, and long service intervals.

Despite its original popularity in the trucking industry, the Series 60 14L has become a reliable repower option and OEM configuration in heavy-duty marine and stationary equipment thanks to its high torque output, fuel economy, and excellent aftermarket support.
