How to Find a Detroit Diesel Engine Serial Number While most OEM’s are pretty irregular, Detroit Diesel is probably the least consistent OEM about the placement of their engine serial numbers. Various engines of the same model will tend to have their ESN’s in the same location, so below is a list of the popular Detroit Diesel engine models.

The model number and serial number on the V 53 engines are located on the top right-hand front corner of the cylinder block, as viewed from the rear of the engine. An example of a Series 6V53 serial number is 06DXXXXXXX.

Divisions[edit]

Until the mid-1970s, most General Motors brands designed and manufactured their own engines with few interchangeable parts between brands.^[1] In the mid-1960s, there were 8 separate families of GM V8 engines on sale in the USA.^[2]

By the 1970s, GM began to see problems with this approach. For instance, four different North American divisions (Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick) offered four completely different versions of a 350 cu in V8 engine - very few parts would interchange between the four designs despite their visual similarities, resulting in confusion for owners who (quite naturally) assumed that replacement parts would be usable across the board. In addition to these issues and the obvious overlap in production costs, the cost of certifying so many different engines for tightening worldwide emissions regulations threatened to become very costly.

Thus, by the early 1980s, GM had consolidated its powertrain engineering efforts into a few distinct lines. Generally, North American and European (Opel) engineering units remained separate, with Australia's Holden and other global divisions borrowing designs from one or the other as needed. GM also worked out sharing agreements with other manufacturers such as Isuzu and Nissan to fill certain gaps in engineering. Similarly, the company also purchased other automotive firms (including Saab and Daewoo), eventually folding their engine designs into the corporate portfolio as well.

Currently, GM has reorganized the GM Powertrain Division into the GM Global Propulsion Systems, located in Pontiac, Michigan.^[3]

GM´s German subsidiary, Adam Opel AG, relies on a range of 3, 4 and 6 cylinder petrol and diesel engines. A survey of their range shows a reliance on petrol and diesel 4´s, though as of 2014 there is only one 3-cylinder engine and one 6 cylinder engine in service in Opel´s passenger car range.

In addition to automobile and truck engines, GM produced industrial engines, which were sold by brands such as Detroit Diesel, Allison, and Electro-Motive. Most of these engine designs were unrelated to GM's automotive engines.^{[citation needed]}
