a few years ago gm sold their detroit diesel division to daimler chrysler power systems. this company now sells spares for the 53 71 92 and 110 series engines the very popular ddc series 60 the german mtu engine line big marine friedrichhaven and mercedes-benz industrial engines. dont count the 2 strokes out just yet. they are alive and well in both the dd and mtu line. see http//www.detroitdiesel.com/corporate/history/index.asp my dream is to own a 3500 dually with an aluminum 8v53 twin turbo with a pnuematic valve train along with an allison 6 speed automatic gearbox equipped with a lock-up torque converter and pto. steve since mercedes merged with chrysler and mercedes has some ties merged with freightliner and freightliner has detroit diesel as a subsidiary does that mean ill be able to get a detroit 8v92 in my 2006 dodge ram not that id want to . . . quoted from http//www.tt.com/members/top/0011951.html which requires one of those annoying name and password registrations hanover germany - freightliner llc has begun a program to voluntarily upgrade 30000 of the earliest engines that its detroit diesel corp. subsidiary produced beginning with the 2003 model year to comply with new emissions rules in the united states. endquote greg .
