Diesel Performance Chips
If you are looking for information on increasing the horsepower, torque and fuel mileage on your diesel pickup or medium duty truck, please take a moment to read this article.
A Diesel Performance Chip or power programmer may be what you are interested in learning about.
A programmer, or a downloader, is a hand held tuning computer with the capability of reprogramming the vehicles onboard computer by plugging into the underdash diagnostic port .
Some are even code readers in the some unit.
A chip is a replacement part that upgrades your stock component.
There are also modules and chips that plug into the vehicles wiring harness that you can adjust and disable on the fly.
Performance chips are easy to install with torque gains up to 200 lbs/ft or add up to 171 ponies under the hood depending on the specific vehicle.
For simplicities sake, we will just call them all chips.
They work by adjusting the vehicles timing curve, shift point, the rev, and speed limiters, and the fuel rate.
They are to use and do not void the warranty.
However if you take you truck to the dealer, it is a good idea to remove the programming just in case they have a factory software upgrade for your computer.
I personally have a Superchips Power Programmer on my '97 Powerstroke and it take only about five minutes to install or remove.
It really does makes a big difference on drivability too.
Performance Chips in combination with aftermarket exhaust and air intakes to help your diesel engine breath easer.
More air means more power and even better fuel mileage depending on your driving style.
Take it to the next step and replace you diesel injectors with aftermarket injectors to improve diesel fuel atomization in combination with Diesel Performance Chips, exhaust and air intake, and you could double your Diesel engine's horsepower and torque.
Still not enough? Add on Bully Dog's Propane Injection Kit and you will have the fastest truck around.
Ok, maybe that's a little overboard for most people, not enough for some :), but Diesel Performance Chips are a quick, inexpensive and easy way to increase power and drivability and even get better fuel mileage.
If you are looking to replace the factory computer chip with an adjustable Performance Chip, reprogram the OEM chip with a programmer, downloader or microtuner, or add a power module with an in cab on-the-fly flip switch, the website below is the site that will provide these products to you at the best price available.
That's the '97 I was telling you about on the photo/testimonial page.
I was having a little fun at the drag strip.
I hope this article was informative to you and fun to read.
Thanks, Luke.
