hey guys i have a stock 91 non-intercooled CTD. it's a little lazy at low rpm's i was wondering what i could do to get rid of that low rpm laziness. i don't want a race truck, i'd be happy with a slight improvement over stock. any help would be appreciated. thanks, pete

 

To add power to a Diesel you must add fuel; to increase the maximum quanity of fuel, and the parameters under which the fuel is added, read this guide to pump tweaking.

Tweaking the pump to add fuel is easy and free, but depending on how much power you want to have (130-300 HP) you will need to spend money on periphery modifications.

Before you add any fuel at all you need to buy a Pyrometer and a thermocouple, which costs under $200. If you want to add much at all, or if you want to tow anything, you need a Hughes (they're the cheapest) torque convertor for $400. A free-flowing air intake can be fabbed for free, and some exhaust for another few hundred will help make power, but isn't necessary.

But beyond that, power is just a few screw turns away...

 

If fuel screw is stock turning it in helps a lot, but only real cure is a turbo so it can spool faster. There are several adjustments that can help, look in tech section for instructions.

 

lol Begle beat me.
