Ppe Xcelerator Forum Upgrade My Exhaust

After 7,000 miles of daily driving and towing my transmission was starting to overheat.

I remember watching my grandpa leaving to go on the road in his 83 Peterbilt leaving a trail of black smoke.

I always remember thinking someday I would have myself a diesel big rig that would blow smoke like what my grandpa drove up and down the road.

It didnt take long before I bought a 2004.5 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD extended cab short bed 4x4 with the 6.6L LLY Duramax.

I bought the truck in April of 06.

It had 16,000 miles on it the day I picked it up and it was bone stock.

As soon as I got the truck home from the dealer I installed the Triple Dog and the 4-inch exhaust.

I liked the newfound power, but I wanted a way to keep an eye on what was going on with my engine.

I installed a pyrometer and boost gauge from Autometer to keep an eye on my exhaust gas temperatures and my boost levels.

Soon the Bully Dog wasnt enough power for me so I sold it and purchased a PPE Xcelerator Hot 2 E.T.

Pacific Performance Engineering.

I was limping my factory fuel system, so I installed a PPE lift pump and I replaced the factory fuel pressure relief valve with a PPE race fuel valve.

Around this same time I decided to upgrade my exhaust to a set of 6-inch dual stacks from MBRP exhaust.

This was around the time I had just graduated from tech school to be a diesel mechanic, and I was looking for a job in the diesel industry.

I started talking to Mark Broviak about getting a job working for them.

I was hired, and learned a great deal about Duramax diesel performance from Mark, but due to unfortunate circumstances I had to stop working for Danville Performance.

I first noticed the problem when the truck was lagging on power.

This was done using EFI Live, and Mark also tuned the truck for better performance using EFI Live.

The nice thing about EFI Live is that it allows you to make the changes to vehicle parameters that need to be made to match your modifications.

It also comes in handy for data logging, which is great for tuning purposes.

Soon after replacing the CP3 the seals in my lift pump failed and were causing it to leak diesel fuel all the time.

We replaced it with a 150 gph lift pump from Fass fuel systems.

The stock Allison 5-speed held up well up until now, but I wanted to be able to put all my newfound power to the ground.

The Co-Pilot helps with torque converter lock up and also helps increase clutch apply pressure based on engine load.
