Modifying Diesel-performance Trucks & SUVs

Part of the thrill of owning a diesel performance pickup truck or SUV is not only racing or admiring its beauty, but building it to your specifications. From EGR delete kits and coolers to specialized grilles and suspension components, you can outfit your diesel truck for maximum horsepower and unsurpassed performance. Custom-tune your excursion. Inject Rev-X oil and fuel additives. Dress up your exterior. Modification options are endless for creating the diesel truck of your dreams.

The following are three types of features that can dramatically enhance the performance and efficiency of your vehicle:

1. Air intake kits:

Super Duty AFE Cold Air Intake Kits consist of a durable gauge, heat shield, reusable air filter and a heat-insulating plastic tube. This system improves airflow with volumetric efficiency while increasing horsepower and torque. A Banks Ram Air Intake system blocks hot engine air and inhales cool air from outdoors for greater power. The lifetime filter eliminates restrictions, provides maximum durability and helps maintain a cleaner engine. MKMCustoms.com offers cold air intake kits with either a dry or cleanable filter for 6.4L Powerstroke trucks from leading manufacturer S&B.

1. H & S programmer

For Ford, Chevy, GMC or Dodge diesel racers, H & S programmer products provide features that can enhance your street-racing truck’s performance. Cummins Turbodiesel Smarty systems offer three to 10 different levels of performance, improved fuel efficiency, optimal drivability and programming features for fine-tuning.

Other features include:

·ABS/Speedo recalibration

·DTC code reader

·ECM update speed

·Software updates

1. EGR delete kit

Ford Powerstroke Diesel EGR valve and cooler delete kits completely replace EGR systems. An EGR recirculates exhaust gas back into the motor to reduce nitrogen oxide. Although it’s beneficial for the environment, exhaust gas is not combustible and produces less power. Your engine may stress and overheat or your head gaskets may blow. An EGR delete kit installation helps increase exhaust flow, manage temperature and prevent soot and residue buildup. Your truck will experience enhanced engine power and efficiency for optimal performance. MKMCustoms.com offers custom-built EGR delete kits that are manufactured in-house and rigorously tested. MKM Customs’ leakproof kits include pressure-tested TIG welds and replace the up-pipe. Keep in mind as you are installing an EGR delete kit that the check engine light will not come on for a 6.0L 2003-2004 Ford but may come on for a 2005-2007 Ford. An EGR valve for the 2005 and an SCT tuner with a custom tune for a 2006-2007 could fix the problem.

Other diesel performance parts include upgraded EGR coolers, suspension components, an AIRDOG fuel system and more! Diesel performance parts can be custom built for the most extreme racing and tuning.
