Detroit Diesel 60 Series Fuel Pump Replacement - DIY Duke

It's nice to get out of the shop when the weather is this perfect. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

[@jimbos1175]

Got to love it, easy engine to fix and run. Down side the 60 is one of the loudest Diesel engines for over the road uses but the milage is good and torque is great. All around good engine.

What size did u use on the bolts

[@bigtwinzr900]

great video Duke thanks for explaining how the pump goes on as well as keeping it entertaining

[@BuddyCoopers]

Nice work beautiful place

[@diyduke]

Buddy Cooper thanks Buddy

[@vincentjarvey635]

Wow I feel stupid now at wondering how that was done. God rested after the series 60 was created. Can't get any better. Even though Detroit tried.

[@ericdiaz1348]

I love my Detroit I’m at 1,700,000 miles and thank god haven’t been rebuild yet

[@LightWaIker]

Hey nice work Duke and great video! You're the man. Beautiful country out there. Looked like a tough day for Samson. Thanks for sharing. Stay buff dude!

[@markrob9752]

Think I need to tackle this project soon, my fuel pump has oil leaking from it. I'm thinking thru the weep hole but the truck fires right up

[@johnchambers8813]

Was there wiring at the bottom of that fuel pump? I just bought one from freightliner with the engine number.

[@Calvinmetal]

I’m more inclined to believe it was the filters. I have never seen one of those fuel pumps go bad. I try to talk people out of replacing them because it’s a waste of money and that’s never it. Glad it worked for you, that’s a rare failure.

[@scottberry5266]

Ok, so what is the problem?? You posted the same thing on a different video. I have a series 60 12.7 that acts like it’s running out of fuel. Can’t give it any throttle or it just spits and spudders. Changed the filters and boost sensor last night but no luck. Put new fuel lines on it a few weeks ago along with new fuel tanks. The truck starts and goes down the road but you have to feather the throttle very lightly. I’m open for suggestions.

[@ek6667]

Hi, How did you get the air out?

[@robertrinaldi8748]

Why didn't you need to bleed the system after changing the fuel pump?

[@joseh5090]

Which is the primary & secondary filter again?

[@Bretyllium]

Never seen a diesel fuel pump before, doesn't surprise me it is mechanical though!

[@larryhutchinson4271]

I need to change my power steering pump on my 60 series, 2007 freightliner do you have a video for that one too???

[@diyduke]

No, sorry 😢

[@HITCH13]

How did you get the air out of the system before you started it?

[@wrenchbender01]

YOYO the Series 60 is a Unit injection engine. This means the pump only sends the fuel to the injectors at a 70 PSI. And the injectors have a plunger that brings the pressure up to proper pressure. All you need on one of these engines is for the charge pump to have fuel and the rest will self prime.

[@DONTCALLMETHAT]

God I love this engine. Thanks for this info

[@sabdiellsierra1543]

I got the same motor but it's doing a clicking noise and don't know what it is?????

[@nawzy202]

Sabdiell Sierra check and see if its coming from valve cover. It could be sunken valve when did u do overhead

[@alkennedy1124]

Are the pumps you are replacing the same for all Detroit engine’s, ???? Mine is a 4 cylinder 4 71 or4 53, nor sure which one , the pump is a 3 bolt, two ports, in and out , thanks for your info, thanks BigAl California.

[@diyduke]

Hey Big Al, I believe they might be different but not completely sure. Might be able to search it there is a lot of Detroit engine info 😀

[@landi7573]

Thanks for the video. Love your sunglasses also. Do you know the brand and model nr.

[@Montoya1991]

Did you have to prime the fuel system after replacing the fuel pump or did it fire right up?

[@diyduke]

I cranked a bit to see and it worked without priming

[@chrisbrown6093]

How did you prime it

[@tpayne1134]

Great video Duke! What kind of crops do you have growing on the farm? Also, Samson howling back when you called him was just too cute.

[@diyduke]

+Tory Payne hey Troy thanks, we're growing alfalfa, wheat, garlic, carrots for seed, blue grass and grain hay.

[@chrisbrown6093]

@@diyduke are you still here

[@diyduke]

@@chrisbrown6093 I am Chris. Samson's gone. Lost my boy three years ago. He was 15 and ready to go. I'll see him again, I just know it.

[@jesteris25]

That's an easier pump that my little diesel van!

[@diyduke]

+Troy Andrews yeah Troy, very easy.

[@anthonywolfe3051]

You put the plastic Lovejoy looking bushing back in there if not that can go back in out about a year.

[@richlymann6451]

Great video Duke excellent work in green pastures. I’m not a mechanic but I’m inspired by your video to change my fuel pump got 03 12.7 Detroit 1.18million miles but runs daily got some days I’ve had to use the starter spray ,what you think any tips will be appreciated...can’t beat the call of the hound dog 4 leg friends are best...happy trails

[@diyduke]

+richly mann thankyou, yeah love those Detroits. Just want to mention to check your fuel filters too (you may have done it already). The Detriot in the video has 3 and one gets dirtier than the others which creates a hard start-up. Thanks again.

[@FitV05]

Would the fuel pump going out create fault 73?

[@rodneyjohnson2064]

How do I know if mine is going bad

[@diyduke]

The major reason most of the time is actually fuel filters and some trucks have more than one filter so that should be the first and simplistic thing to check.

[@kevincastro6279]

Build a calf machine !!!!!

From where can I purchase the genuine Detroit fuel pump, part No 23856661
