How to start a Series 60 Detroit Swap Mawk wiring 12.7 14L DDEC IV

This video shows you how to wire the ecm on a Series 60 DDEC IV Engine. I’m using a wiring harness purchased from Mawk Industries but any wiring harness that plugs into it will work fine. The front side of the ecm has the factory wiring and plugs and are all plugged into the proper sensors on the engine. You could do this with the engine sitting on the ground as well.

U did some very nice clean work. I’d of loved to see more. I’m rebuilding a western Star now with a 14 liter.

Is there a website or somewhere you can purchase the wiring for the Detroit DD4

[@EduardoSilva-xe3gp]

Nice work Sr.

[@emmanuelmontelongo9911]

Hi question, that ignition b3 wire, does it need to have positive current all the time ? My truck is randomly dying on me im trying to diagnose, i have power to it but i dont know if wire is corroded and failing after it heats up for a while. If it heats up and fails due to corrosion , will it turn the truck off?

[@davidholland9352]

Did you figure this out my truck is doing the same things 2000 Freightliner Classic

[@emmanuelmontelongo9911]

@@davidholland9352 it was my timing sensors, they were bad . And also some wiring from the batteries had corrosion in them. So i replaced those wires and the timing sensors . Also check grounded wires make sure theyre clean and have good contact with metal . There could be a short messing up timing sensor signals or other critical sensors that shut down engine like oil pressure too high or coolant too low.

Good morning sir. Great wiring skills. Do you mind sharing the wire harness diagram.

Jose, send me an email at [e-mail] and I'll be happy to send you a copy of the wiring diagram that I have in a reply. I don't get on youtube everyday.

Thank you

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i would install that connector for the data link, the service engine light and the stop engine light. otherwise, you wont know when there is a problem or a dtc has been set. nor would you be able to hook a scan tool to look at data.

[@BobFM1795]

J.C., the Mawk harness kit came with a check engine and a stop engine light, along with the 6 pin connector- which I will be using in the finished product. For firing up a Detroit engine ( in the truck or even just on the floor) the lights aren''t necessary... that's what I was trying to help guys figure out how to do with this video. If you just want to fire one up to see if it runs it's almost impossible to find anything on the internet or youtube.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

That five pin power harness connector is the same as the connector on a S-10 pickup windshield wiper motor . Wire in larger gauge wire into it .

[@vb5457]

Are you making the harness to swap it in to any truck, like a glider frame kit

[@BobFM1795]

I'm making this to go into a 1986 Pete 359... which obviously never had an ECM from the factory. If your trying to replace an existing engine with a Detroit 60 series, if it was a make and model that came from the factory with the option to have a detrioit then you should be able to purchase the harness from the dealer. Example: 2009 Freightliner Columbia had the option for a DD15 or Series 60. So, you could swap out your DD15 and buy the harness from the Freightliner dealer. Hope that helps.

[@sullyfromky]

Quick question sir...can I run an eld using that mawk kit. I want to go back to a cab over but can’t because the company I lease to requires it?

[@BobFM1795]

I think so. I comes with the 6 pin data link for inside the truck but only has 2 wires going to it. I would call Mawk and ask to be sure.

Im putting a 60 series in my 359 as well, what engine mounts did you use?

[@BobFM1795]

I had to make my own, because the mounts that I had would have had the engine sitting too far forward and about 3 inches too low in the back. You just have to get creative and don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't look factory made. A little black paint goes a long way to hide imperfections!

@@BobFM1795 can you recommend another company for wiring harness? Mawk is retired

[@BobFM1795]

Black Sam I don’t know anybody else making them. You could probably make your own, especially if you didn’t care about cruise control, and used old style gauges and fan control. Eliminate safety features like low oil shutdown and low coolant sensor, etc. if you can get it running and get the throttle working (like I din in this video) the engine will power the truck. The rest is is just how much computer control you want. If I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn’t have bought the harness. I would have went to a truck junk yard and found the vehicle interface harness with connectors and 10 feet of wire or so and labeled them myself.
