Upgrading Your Dodge 6.7 Cummins L

By Shirley Rogers


What is incredible about the Cummins performance, is that it is usually higher than the one the factory provides. You need to pay attention to the support grade that is needed before you go for more torque. It is recommendable to use the pyrometer on an engine that is being modified. You should have an efficient plan. In addition to this, the transmitter for the factory may not have the same strength when the stout engine is removed. The best thing is that the off-road users also have access to the aftermarket Dodge 6.7 Cummins L.

The first upgrade that you should deal with is the upgrade of the exhaust and the intake. In the case where you are dealing with the exhaust system, you need to find a kit that will have all the replacement for the factory exhaust parts. The kit should be from the tailpipe to the downpipe.

The air horn should not be neglected when upgrading the intake system. This is not provided in the kits for air intake. The main goal of modification of exhaust and intake is losses reduction through the easy transition. When choosing which kit to purchase, you should aim at one with super filtration.

You can use the tuners to unleash the horsepower in 6.7 L. The tuner can also be known as a programmer or the module. The tuner adds parameters, modifies the engine calibration, changes the injection timing and maximizes the delivery of fuel. The settings available are of various types. You should pay extra attention to the manufacturers guidelines when you are buying these machines. You also need to keep in mind that there will be more stress on the drive items when there is more power.

More fuel will flow when using large injectors. Cummins engines have been provided with injector upgrades in the market. Before purchasing a particular set, you should contact the manufacturer of the injector. This is because you will be provided with recommendations depending on the pickups use. One thing that you should bear in mind is that big is not better. It is important going for injectors set that suit the upgrades characteristics.

The other part that should be upgraded is the intercoolers. Though the ratio of the performance to the cost is low, they will assist to reduce the temperatures of the gas of the exhaust. Most of the owners will not do the upgrade of the intercooler during the initial stages.

You also need to have in mind that these engines will not make use of the conventional glow plug. They will use the heater grid instead; the heater grid found in the intake tract. Most people will consider this minimal restriction because it does not lead to a lot of power loss. Remove the heater grid so as to improve the performance of the applications. This also increases the airflow. You should not use this method to modify the ordinary truck as it will be hard to start it when it is cold. When you remove the heater grid, the 6.7 Cummins will have a poor performance.

The factory turbocharger does not have a good performance. However, there are the aftermarket turbochargers that assist in improving the airflow. When you are looking to maximize profits, you should upgrade the factory turbo with the fuel system. These are the main upgrades that you require for your 6.7 Cummins.
