Swinging a second hand motor into my 93 W-9. DDEC 2 out DDEC 2 in.
Noticed the "new" motor has a DDEC 3 ECM. Was explained to me that the DDEC 2 ECM was superseded to the 3 when Detroit stopped making 2's. I was planning on using the original ECM anyway, but have started wondering about reluctor wheels. The crank wheel on the 2 series motors was a six vane. On the 3 series it is a 12 vane. Guess i'll remove the sensor and count.
Anybody else have anything to add?
Looking for DDEC 2 info

They change the reluctor wheel count in the dd3 ecm to work with the dd2 motor i would use the 3 ecm
Dino soar, mile marker 27, spsauerland and 2 others Thank this. -
Huh. Didn't know that. Hopefully the plugs on the back side of the ecm are compatible. Why would you use the DDEC 3 ecm?

Don't forget the truck wiring is different for one with a DDEC2 vs DDEC3. When I had to put a new one in my truck in January, the Detroit dealer putting it in told me if I went with a DDEC3, they'd have to rewire the truck for it. At least that's what they told me.
Rideandrepair and mile marker 27 Thank this. -
My plan was to sub all my motor components and accessories to the "new" motor. I suspected as much, as most of the posts I've read on other sites reference differences in the cruise control wiring.
Got it running as delivered in the stand last night.Rideandrepair and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
Counted Reluctor vanes. Stripped all the parts off both sides of the motor excepting the water pump and air compressor.
Valve cover and oil pan too. Cam lobes, and roller rocker chrome facings all nice and shiny. Crank and rotating assemblies all nice and clean. Main caps were numbered by hand.
Intake and exhaust ports were dry. Lotta carbon on exhaust port 1 and 6. Little bit of oil weepage on the valve stems.
Gonna lay underneath and stare for a while. Cylinder bores are so shiny I cant see any cross hatching looking up there with a light.
Keeping my fingers crossed.Bean Jr. Thanks this.
