Our dual-application tool is designed for Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines. It also works on Mercedes-Benz OM470, OM471, OM472, and OM473 engine platforms.

Yes. This DD all-series timing tool replaces multiple OEM timing tools by covering the entire DD engine platform in one solution. It aligns with the post-2016 DD15 series.

Traditional timing plates are specific to engine build dates. 'Old Style' tools fit pre-2016 engines, while 'New Style' tools (like the ATC-1897) are for 2016+ GHG17 models. Our patented universal timing tool eliminates this confusion by working on both configurations, saving you from buying multiple kits.

Standard DD15 plates typically require additional adapter blocks to work on a DD13. Our universal design is engineered to fit the DD13, DD15, and DD16 without needing extra "add-on" kits, making it the most versatile tool in your shop.

Our patented design isn't just a copy of the OEM tool; it is a re-engineered solution that improves on versatility. While clones only mimic one specific part number, our tool provides a wider range of compatibility across Detroit DD Series generations.

Yes. Our universal tool covers the functions of both the W470589104000 (legacy) and the W470589062300 (new style) plates. It is a single-tool replacement for multiple Detroit Diesel specialty tool numbers.

Absolutely. Our tool is designed to meet the precision requirements of GHG17 engines, ensuring that the updated camshaft and idler gear designs are locked perfectly at Top Dead Center (TDC).

If your engine was built after March 2016, it typically requires the "New Style" geometry. Instead of checking manufacture dates, using our universal Detroit timing tool ensures you have the right fit regardless of the engine's build year.

For fleet shops, the 'Power of One' means less inventory to track and lower costs. Instead of buying individual plates for DD13, DD15 (Old), and DD15 (New), one Diesel Tech Reman tool services the entire Detroit DD engine family.

Yes. One side replaces the W470589104000/114000 (Pre-2016/EPA07/EPA10) and the other side replaces the W470589062300 (Post-2016/GHG17+).

Yes! If you are looking to outfit a large service department, please contact our sales team for bulk pricing options.

In March 2016, Detroit Diesel updated the camshaft and idler gear designs. Using an older EPA10 tool on a newer GHG17 engine will result in the exhaust camshaft being approximately one-half tooth out of time. Our dual-sided tool ensures you have the correct alignment for either design.
