Good thoughts there. I thought that DDEC meant Detroit Diesel Electronic Control, tho. And, yes, the persistent legend that Deere's 12 litre is really designed and built by Detroit Diesel. I'm not sure if it is true or not, I haven't seen anything in official Deere histories that say it is true. Deere did offer the wet-sleeve 5.9 as a limited option for GM mediums in the 80;'s, tho. There are a few Deeres: the 4.5, the 414, etc that would be an excellent match for today's GM products. Imagine a Duramax with a Deere 414 and an Allison. Dodge would be quaking in their booties. Some years ago, Cat acquired an engine that would be an obvious fit for the Class 3-4-5-6 market when it acquired the Perkins 3056, however, for some reason, failed to exploit it. Again, a Ford or Chev pickup with the Perkisn 3056 would have the Dodge boys shaking like a pup poopin' peach pits. But mebbee they didnt meet emissions or something silly like that. Oh, well, just some ramblin' on here, FWIW.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
