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 step to being undertaken when upgrading has to be the exhaust and intake upgrade. When dealing with the exhaust system, you should go for a kit that has a replacement for every part of the factory exhaust. It should be from downpipe to tailpipe.

When you are upgrading your intake unit, you should not forget the air horn. This is usually not included in the kits for the air intake. The main purpose for the modifying the exhaust and the intake is so that there is easy transition through the losses reduction. You should choose a kit that has super filtration when you are looking for the one to buy.

Superior horsepower in 6.7 L can be unleashed by tuners. A tuner may be referred to as module or programmer. The tuner operates by adding parameters, maximizing fuel delivery, modification of calibration of the engine and changing injection timing. There are different settings available for the devices. It is important paying attention to manufacturers instructions when purchasing these devices. You should bear in mind that more power will result to more stress on drivetrain items.

When you are using the large injectors, there will be more flow of the fuel. The Cummins in the market have the injector upgrades. Before you buy any set, you need to talk to the injector manufacturer so that they give you the recommendations as per the use of the pickup. Remember that bigger does not always mean better. You should get an injector that is suitable for the characteristics of the upgrade.

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 should be aware that Cummins engines do not use the conventional glow plug. Instead, they use a heater grid located in the intake tract. Many owners consider the restriction to be minimal since it does not cause high loss of power. To enhance the performance of applications, the heater grid is removed. This will increase the airflow. The ordinary truck should not be modified in this manner. This is because starting it when it is cold will be difficult or even impossible. 6.7 Cummins will have the worst performance when the heater grid is deleted.

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.
