Because of your vid I bought a Vibratech dampener. My series 60 vibrates so bad. I've checked king pins, replaced shocks twice, new tires with balancing, 3 axle alignment, rear suspension height adjustment and driveline checked for play in u-joints. NOTHING. So the dampener will be here tomorrow and I'm gonna install it Saturday. I'm also gonna use one of the old bolts as a guide like one of your commenters noted. I'll come back and tell how it works out. Thank.
Welcome back my man Ted! Been a while, but I'm glad you're back! Very informative video - I never knew that stuff about replacing the damper on a Series 60! Now, I don't know if you saw, but I posted a comment on the video of opening the damper from your Cat 3126 - definitely check it if you haven't already!
Hi Ted, Thank you. Great video! Nice job, You made that look easy. You certainly answered a question I've been having. Like you, I've also noticed a very slight vibration at idle (very minor) and have wondered if changing the damper would have any effect on that. After watching your video I feel comfortable leaving it as is at least for now. Also the engine has very low mileage. Thank you once again, hope you and your family are having a great summer!❤❤❤
I’ve used both Power Service Diesel Kleen and Hot Shots injector cleaner. I haven’t had to remove the injectors (and hopefully won’t), but I’ve got two upcoming videos that will cover an overhead adjustment and changing the rockers, which gets you roughly 80% there.
The Detroit diesel 60 series is a shaker. They are notorious for for vibration issues. Is the one thing about my Prevost that I wish I could change to a C12 or C15

Glad to see you don't double click on your torque wrench. Many do and will argue to the death that double clicking doesn't create an over torque.

Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid. Really like the information you give.
Do you have anything for cleaning and replacing the fuel injectors of the series 60?

Did you replace it because it was vibrating?
You missed your opportunity to put a strip on it like the trim wheel on the big iron
too late, but a trick would have been to cut the head off one of the old bolts and use it as an alignment pin, old fart mechanics talking LOL
Good point Tim, that would’ve made it easier. I’ve done that trick elsewhere but it didn’t cross my mind here.
