Company Offering Various Options for Engine Overhauls
DETROIT, July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Detroit Diesel Corporation is making
it easier for fleet managers and owner/operators to understand the options
available to overhaul their heavy-duty Series 60(R) engine through a
program called StepUP(TM).
The company's StepUP(TM) Overhaul Program offers four levels of
overhauls to help extend the life of a Series 60, depending on length of
ownership of the engine and its application. Additionally, customers can
feel confident that their trucks will be back on the road quicker with a
StepUP(TM) Overhaul option because critical components are packaged or
grouped into each step so less time is spent at the service outlet
searching for and ordering and installing individual components.
For operators with lower mileage, fewer problems, or looking for the
value package, a Step 1 is a great start. The program builds from there,
adding a cylinder head and rocker arm assembly in a Step 2, a complete
injector changeout, water pump and turbocharger for a Step 3, and a
remanufactured swing engine for Step 4.
"We've specifically designed our StepUP(TM) Overhaul Program to be
flexible enough to accommodate the needs of customers depending on where
they are with the lifecycle of their Series 60. We certainly don't believe
in a 'one-size-fits-all' philosophy when it comes to overhauling an engine
because we know that just doesn't work for those who rely on Series 60
power," said Jeff Wallis, General Manager of Parts Sales and Marketing. "We
also have developed the program to minimize downtime by grouping all the
necessary components for each option. That means less time is spent looking
for and ordering parts so a truck can be up-and-running much sooner, which
equates to higher profitability for truck owners."
The reliabilt(R) parts that are used for the StepUP(TM) Overhaul
Packages are not rebuilt, they're remanufactured back to factory blueprint
specifications, offering customers peace-of-mind when it comes to getting
back a highly reliable and high quality product. In addition to flexible
options, Detroit Diesel's StepUP(TM) Overhauls are backed by superior
warranty coverage.
"Every part used for a StepUP(TM) Overhaul is either new or completely
remanufactured -- not just spot-repaired like some of our non-genuine
competitors," explained Wallis. "And the best part is that we offer
outstanding warranty coverage for our customers."
