Compounds???

[S Phinney]

Getting response and keeping the smoke down isn’t that hard to do.

So if you guys were in my shoes where would you start first, if you were looking to do compounds and NOT looking to get huge hp an tq numbers just a good over all dd.

1. trans, Mike L
2. injectors, what % over's 30,45, 60?
3. then compound? S480/96/1.15 over the 65mm
4. WAY down the road, internals?

Just trying to get as much info as I can.:thumb:

Most of the delay you see when you floor it to pass someone is the truck downshifting. If you will manually click it down a gear or two (depending on speed), you will see a lot quicker response.

Injectors or tranny then compounds. If you have the right tuning you may not even want the compounds. A real 600+ hp is pretty useful but will be much nicer with the compounds. The wow factor will come with the injectors. The tranny not so much if a wow. The compounds will be another wow factor.

Trans>Injectors (60%)>Compounds (65mm vgt/S480/96/1.15t6>Bottom end

Trans first...

I would even probably look at 100% injectors. That will get you close to a stock duration at 500hp.

Love my 100s. No smoke or haze unless I want it.

What's the going rate for an injector install? I guess it depends on the shop. But whats a reasonable price to pay?

I would do a Mike L trans first.

Labor here is 1200 and up.

Over 10hrs for a shop to change injectors? I don't know much about the LML and newer configurations but is an injector swap harder on them than LLY-LMM?

 

[S Phinney]

It maybe a hour more to it depending on what has been done to the truck. The very cheapest I have heard of anyone doing them is 800 bucks and I wouldn’t let them touch my vehicle.

I know you have heard about getting paid for your knowledge and not necessarily for what you do.

“Peace of Mind” isn’t inexpensive...

Looks like trans and injectors first. Thanks for the input. I see Lincoln diesel is a vendor here. And there injectors which I think are (reman), which is fine with me. Because they are cheaper. Anyone suggest new or reman injectors? and another company? I know energy is another but there pretty pricey.

Exergy

 

[S Phinney]

Remans are to the same specs if the are Bosch certified.

Exergy and S&S are the two main players in the injector business.

Ok thanks.

It looks like I might have limped the truck not to sure. I got a code p0070 mil request from the trans. From doing a quick read it a “general code” indicating the check engine like to come on from the tcm. Looks like a trans will be in the very near future.
