DD vs 14L

Any thing from 2002-2014 are pretty bad. The 14L S60 was their attempt to just add the new emissions to the S60 engine. They gave up on that idea and come out with the DD new engine build for emissions from scratch. It took them about 14 years to work all the big out of them. The first generation they did not know about running the engine at hotter temperature to keep the emissions box hot enough to stop the DPF from clogging up. They even had to figure out having a hot side of the engine and cool side. Because the plastic parts would get to hot. The EGR valves would fail on 14L S60 or get struck because it was getting to hot. So on the DD new engines the moved the EGR valve up by the front of engine..

A modern engine can automatically Regen when need when parked. The old engines you get would wake up in the morning and have to do a parked Regen just get get out of parking lot and that took like 45 minutes.

 

The 05 14.0 liter Columbia wouldn’t be bad.
My 07 Columbia is at 1,030,000 miles now.
It’s been a great dependable truck.
Did an in frame at 925,000.
It was using a gallon of oil every 3,000 miles so I went ahead and did it.

 

Yep.

2007 and under 14L okay, 2008 with DPF a nightmare.
Two brothers at my carrier. The guy with the 2007 never had any issues. The 2008 was in the shop 52 days the first year, 37 days the second year and got rid of it the third.

 

Exactly!
