Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link 8.22 SP0 (replaces DDDL 8.13, 8.14) Offline Professional

What is Detroit Diesel DiagnosticLink (DDDL) software?

What's new (v8.20)

Detroit Diesel DiagnosticLink (DDDL) is a computer program used to diagnose Detroit and Freightliner Cascadia vehicle systems. The DDDL 8.22 enables you to perform all dealer-level diagnostic functions, such as DPF regens, turbo tests, and more. The most suitable diagnostic adapter is the Nexiq USB Link. The program can be used without an Internet connection. Instead of waiting for a package, you can download the program from our website server. Installation and activation take 15-30 minutes, depending on your Internet connection speed.

Detroit Diesel engines are very popular among the world's leading manufacturers of trucks, construction machinery, power, oil, gas equipment, and more.

Important Notice: Recently, we have received numerous complaints about DDDL and Microsoft Surface laptops. Please note that these laptops are NOT supported, and DDDL software won't work correctly.

Since version 8.22 (including Troubleshooting database 08.2025), DDDL supports only Windows 10, 11 64-bit.
