In this video I go over the DD15 engine and its components. I know a lot of videos on youtube go over the engine but sometimes its hard to see when the engine is still in the chassis. Since I had a DD15 engine out, I figured I would help some of you guys out by showing it to you in this video. If there is a specific question you have that I didn't go over be sure to leave them in the comments section below or reach out to me, contact info is below.
If this video has helped you in anyway show your appreciation by buying me a coffee ☕️

One thing I noticed with your videos. One of two things, you are super knowledgeable or super good at the edits. Your knowledge is shown by your explanation of the engines, no stutters, no hesitations. This something I pay attention to when I assess if the person who’s telling me something about what they should be knowable in. Thank you for the education.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Cool, thanks!

[@yosiasmeimen9888]

Looking at dd15 2014 right now I'd be lost without TAT thanks Adam

[@dsdiesel8667]

If you get a DD15 (or any DD for that matter) try to stick with a GHG14 or newer (emissions level), that’ll be mid 13’s and up. They don’t use the crappy air operated DEF system that has more issues than the GHG14 setup.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

That is great, thanks for watching

[@douglasfurlong1]

I remember in a video you said isx would be more expensive to rebuild but dd15 had twin cam right so would that not make it more expensive to rebuild? what engine would you rather have the isx 15 or the dd15? I was also wondering can you get an ecm extended wire so you can relocate the computer? and you also said that they have went away from the vgt type turbo? are they now using a regular turbo or did i misunderstand ? thanks for the great videos

[@juancaa.4323]

That’s really cool, gives anyone a basic knowledge of what a dd15 consists of. I have an oil leak at the front of the engine, any videos on how to replace front gasket?

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Thats a good idea, I will see if we can squeeze it in.

[@josevillegas9029]

Juanca A there is no front cover on the DD15 (all gears would be located on the back) however, it is very common for the rocker housing gasket to go flat and eventually dry, cracking it and expelling oil outward. Another thing to consider could possibly be the front main seal.

[@dsdiesel8667]

@@josevillegas9029 I know this is an old post but the front crank seal has its own housing that can leak as well. Just a heads up.

I have a d13 fuel issue

[@nukenridge4921]

DD 15 came in with a broken accessory belt wrapped around behind fan .It ripped the 2 wire harness going to front block coolant sensor up to fuel rail plug 3 inches before that .Engine sputters on start up ,but then after 5 secs engine idles very good .Plugged in lap top engine coolant sensor indicates overheating or probing pins .And yes I swamp wiring to see if any difference. But its regular wiring ,can this cause any difference in resistance or can farther wiring close to fuel rail cause sputtering on start up

[@nukenridge4921]

I will plug laptop tomorrow and testing wiring and mcm .Have you ever get this problem ???????

Yes. They are more powerful than Series 60. Only thing is components in Series 60 are more durable. So you should see overhaul/ rebuild in DD15 at 1.2 million vs Series 60 1.5 million with scheduled maintenance of course.
