As you guys might’ve noticed, we’ve made a lot of different videos about diesel engines. At the end of the day, there are a lot of really cool engines out there, but some of them are better than others, and because of that I wanted to make a list of what I consider to be the best diesel engines of all time.
Keep in mind, this list isn’t in really any particular order, because quite frankly I don’t think it’s fair to outright claim one diesel as the best of all of them, because they all have pros and cons and some are better at specific tasks than others.

BMW 550D n audi 60TDI
Mercedes OM617. For longevity, efficiency, longevity…
Did I mention longevity?!
Pre 2003 12.7L Detroit Series 60, 6NZ Cat C15, and Cummins N14 for heavy duty engines in that order.
I've seen a couple of cars that came from the vivid racing shop and they were cobbled together piles of poo.
The best is Cat 3208, detroit 6v-53 used in m-113 Army apc'. DT466 ihc. 12v71 , detroit 60, 7.3 idi, continaiontal air cooled 750 horse general electric diesel used in m-48 army tanks.
Cat 3406 is my favorite
good job buddy!
What are good swap engines for 1500 and 2500 pickups. Also tranny combos?
I have a ecodiesel and ram 3500 24v but would love to do a swap or two for pickups someday. Blown up ecodiesel rams are a dime a dozen. A 4bt swap or ??? To that 8 speed trans would sure be sweet but not sure it’s even possible.
Love my 35 to 40 mpg imperial eco but to many people say good one second and gone the next.
No way. I blew up Cummins engine twice, and Detroit one too. Engine design might be great. But, as always in America, American workers work ethics are so low that engine assembled in America does not last for long.
It is already proven in auto or semiconductor industry.
You got to find out durability of engine rather than design and number of service location.
We have 2 dt466s, pre and post emissions. Electronics never given us much of an issue
nr 1 mb om606 3,0L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsTgptGbe-w&t=4s
High idle, miserable low end torque, can't rev, extremely heavy, smelly, noisy. Fragile injection system. Its great for a boat or stationary engine.
Liked the Iveco diesel in my Santana PS 10 but the V8 in my Land Rover was better for offroading.
6v71
6v92
6v110 come on
Ford ran a power max in South America in the super duty which was the Cummins 4bt and later offered the 12v for a short run. Also, in Australia ford used the 7.3 during the US 6.0 run so Australia never had to deal with that nightmare.
6nz cat is almost better than the 3406
Currently the Koreans make the most refined and peppy diesel engines. The best diesels in the world.
do a viedeo on most reliable common rail diesel
Ok I’ll subscribe if you do a vid on cummins isc/b mechanical or caps pump engine
