like the title says fellas.... what can I do to an L10 to up the HP even further than just turning up the fuel pump? Thanks guys
How much do you want? Compound turbos, bigger injectors, different fuel button, timing etc. I bet you can take north of 1000 hp out of one if you wanted albeit not for very long. A #17 fuel button perks an L10 right up though...
how hard is it to change the button?
swap in a big cam 3.
how are those big cams Duallie? I heard bad things about them motors
There's nothing wrong with a big cam, been around forever. Keep the topend setup and good oil and they'll last a long time.
Ok so back to the L10, where abouts can I get a #17 button for the pump and how hard is it to change?
I was joking about the big cam swap. But they are a very highly regarded engine last time i heard a stat they had put over 3+ million of them in over the road trucks. i would seek the advice of a good OLDER! diesel mechanic in your area. a lot of the younger guys dont know what the heck to do with mechanically injected motors. locally here you can get buttons and most any fuel injection parts from a local diesel injection pump re builder.
adjusted my fuel pump today and noticed a big difference in the motor, she sings and pulls quite well now.... I'll have to go back in and adjust my AFC just a wee bit back, she smokes like a son of a beast when she lugs going into the next gear.... I maybe got a little greedy on that adjustment LOL..... The boss nicknamed it dark skies today because when i got on it, it eclipsed the sun LOL!!
Sounds like my L10. It's really a smoker. I had my pump turned up and it pulls good on surface streets but those long highway hills can be tough pulling a machine. Just what you get with only 10 liters I suppose.
