Detroit engines in Kenworths?
 Was messing around on the Truck Paper and Kenworth websites the other day and wondered if KW offers Detroit engines in their trucks? Not that I'm worried about it seeing I'm a staunch Cat man but was just curious. 8)

Detroit is owned by Freightliner who is owned by Mercedes. I had an OEM guy tell me a year or two ago that they were trying to get rid of the Series 60's and replace them with Mercedes engines. The present problem is that there are too many Series 60's on the market for them to completely shut them down.
