Eliminate the clutter and compatibility headaches in your shop with this precision-machined, two-in-one alignment tool designed for the entire Detroit Diesel L-Series family. This revolutionary tool works on both pre-2016 and post-2016 DD13, DD15, and DD16 platforms. Forget managing two separate tools; simply flip this dual-sided component to instantly adapt to either engine generation.
Post 2016 Detroit DD Series
First side of this tool is designed to replace the updated W470589062300 Timing Tool, which is required for the newer engine design. This application is mandatory for post-2016 Detroit Diesel L-Series engines (DD11L, DD13L, DD15L, DD16L), specifically models built ON or AFTER March 23, 2016. This makes it the perfect solution for servicing GHG17 generation and later engines that feature the revised camshaft and gear train configuration. A critical tool for achieving TDC on late-model DD15 engines.
Pre 2016 Detroit DD Series
The alternate side is essential for the W470589104000 Camshaft Timing Fork. Use this side for accurately setting the timing on all pre-2016 Detroit Diesel L-Series engines (DD11L, DD13L, DD15L, DD16L), specifically those manufactured BEFORE March 23, 2016. This includes all EPA07 and EPA10 generation engines where the original camshaft and idler gear design are present. Ensure the proper gear train and camshaft alignment is achieved on your early model DD15 with this specific timing plate.
One tool. Two generations. Perfect Detroit DD timing every time.
