Boosting Diesel Performance: Top Upgrades for Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax Trucks
Factory diesel trucks are built to meet general performance standards, but they often leave untapped potential under the hood. Upgrading key components can significantly improve horsepower, torque, throttle response, and overall drivability. Performance modifications also help prevent common engine failures, ensuring long-term reliability.
At Unlimited Diesel Performance, we provide diesel truck repair and upgrades that enhance power and durability. Whether you use your truck for heavy towing, daily driving, or off-road adventures, these upgrades will make a noticeable difference.
Top Diesel Performance Upgrades
1. High-Performance Fuel Injectors
Fuel injectors are critical to engine efficiency, and replacing worn injectors is one of the best ways to restore power and improve fuel economy. Over time, factory injectors degrade, leading to poor fuel atomization, reduced performance, and increased fuel consumption.
At Unlimited Diesel Performance, we remanufacture and sell precision-built 7.3L Powerstroke fuel injectors, ensuring OEM-level quality and performance. For Cummins and Duramax engines, we provide high-quality Bosch and S&S Diesel injectors, tailored to meet your vehicle’s needs and power goals.
- Ford Powerstroke: 7.3L (remanufactured), 6.0L, 6.4L, and 6.7L (Bosch/Alliant Power replacements)
- Dodge Cummins: 5.9L and 6.7L (Bosch or S&S Diesel replacements)
- GM Duramax: LB7, LLY, LBZ, and newer models (Bosch or S&S Diesel replacements)
Why upgrade? Improved throttle response, increased fuel efficiency, and enhanced power delivery.
2. Turbocharger Upgrades
A high-performance turbocharger can dramatically improve airflow, boost pressure, and engine efficiency. An upgraded turbo reduces exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), enabling your engine to generate more power while maintaining reliability.
Common Turbo Issues We Repair:
- Ford Powerstroke 6.0L & 6.4L: Sticking turbo vanes, low boost
- Dodge Cummins 6.7L: Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) actuator failures
- GM Duramax LLY & LML: Turbo vanes clogged with soot
At Unlimited Diesel Performance, we offer OEM-quality and high-performance turbochargers that maximize power and efficiency while ensuring durability.
3. High-Performance Air Intake Systems
A high-performance air intake system enhances airflow, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently. This results in better combustion, improved horsepower and torque, and lower intake temperatures.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Air Intake System:
- Increased airflow and improved combustion efficiency
- Enhanced fuel economy and turbo spool-up
- Reduced engine strain and lower heat buildup
Our team installs top-quality air intake systems designed specifically for diesel trucks, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
4. CP3 and DCR Fuel Pump Conversions
One of the most notorious failures in modern diesel engines is the CP4 fuel pump. When it fails, it sends metal shavings through the entire fuel system, leading to costly repairs. A CP3 fuel pump conversion provides a more reliable alternative.
Powerstroke DCR Conversion
For Powerstroke engines, we install the S&S Diesel DCR Pump, an advanced replacement for the problematic CP4 pump. The DCR Pump provides improved durability, better fuel delivery, and eliminates the risk of catastrophic CP4 failure that can send metal debris through the fuel system.
CP3 Conversions for Duramax and Cummins
The CP4 injection pump used in Duramax-powered GM trucks and Cummins-powered Ram trucks is known for premature failures, often leading to costly fuel system damage. We replace the factory CP4 pump with a more reliable CP3 pump, which offers greater longevity, consistent fuel pressure, and improved performance—ensuring your engine runs smoothly without the risk of CP4-related failures.
5. Heavy-Duty Steering & Suspension Upgrades
If you tow heavy loads, run oversized tires, or drive off-road, upgrading your steering and suspension system is essential. Factory components wear out quickly, leading to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and even dangerous conditions like death wobble.
Common Steering & Suspension Upgrades We Offer:
- Ball joints, tie rods, control arms, and sway bars
- Upgraded shocks and steering stabilizers
- Performance lift kits for better handling and durability
Best for:
- Ford Super Duty (F-250, F-350)
- Dodge Ram (2500, 3500)
- Chevy and GMC (2500HD, 3500HD)
Why upgrade? Improved ride quality, better handling, and increased towing stability.
