Can I put detroit 12.7 ddec IV into peterbilt

There are Petes with S60’s in the early 2000’s I think until 2003. Cheaper to find that truck.

 

I know exactly what your talking about. Over there in Fremont, NE..

They are actually half million mile repower jobs, ranging anywhere from 2015-2020 as of now. They posted a pic of the odometer once. Think they stopped doing that.. lol

They slap a 550 3406E in, then somehow get an "assembled title" for the year it was assembled. Hence the new claim of being a 2023..

 

Do it. Re title it in Nebraska as a 2023. All legal. Then if you want title it in your state.

 

I know a dude with a mid teens Cascadia and a 5EK in it. Bought the truck with a hole in the original DD block. It was a winter project. He does his own work.

 

The only issue is requiring the harness; the motor will fit not problem, it will snug up against any transmission you have.
Once installed you just need to get the parameters set for you current set up. It’s not that big of a deal if your mechanic knows how to get the electrical right. there are several shops around the country who specialize in detroit series 60 and cummins N14 and cat motors.
you just have to ask around. Every truck out here isn’t running legal and so long as you stay out of Colorado with registration ( they have emissions test) and Cali you will be fine. No one checking the motor during a DOT inspection EPA standards!

 

I personally know a guy who takes Cascadias/T600 and Petes and puts 12.7s in them.

 

Can you get me in contact with your guy? I’m looking at a 2017 579 no motor or trans I want to put a series 60 12.7 from a 2000 international
