One of the turning points for Detroit Diesel back in 1988 when Roger Penske bought the company, was a systematic cleanup and upgrading of the factory environment, which resulted in less dust, dirt, shavings, etc. being built into an engine on the production line. Dealers were also required to "cleanup" the shop where engines were repaired. I know, I was service manager at Florida Detroit Diesel at the time. Florida DDA became a factory owned dealer. So as the series 60 truck engine made its debut, a much cleaner assembly environment at the factory and at the dealer level helped the engine to meet reliability goals that were established. My opinion is that most companies are building better engines, both gasoline and Diesel, nowadays, from a mechanical standpoint, but I am not impressed with the complexity of the computer systems that are in place. Just my 2 cents, MikeS.
