So l dont normally feel the need to do this but Maybe I can save someones engine from truck stop talk and maybe educate some of you. That may be causing damage to your Diesel engine because you heard it may have worked on one engine doesn't mean its good for your engine Im talking about is Injector trim codes. So what are injector trim codes? Injector trim codes are electronic signals/codes used to fine tune your injectors because not all Injectors are exactly the same they need fine tuning to get each cylinder to hit equally the same. So they use trim codes to level out the spray if one injector was spraying too much it will have a lower # and if it wasn't spraying enough it would have a larger #.
Now not every engine has trim codes but when you get a set of injectors it will either come with a trim code on the injector or it will come with a file or CD to program the injectors. Now not programing it will not damage anything but may cause it to run a little rough but when you start adding what's called a hot trim codes to a set of injectors it can cause one or more cylinders to get more fuel than the others causing you to wipe a cylinder especially if they are not a flow matched set of injectors. Now adding a hot code to a flow matched set may increase your horsepower a little but its not recommended If you want more power add a bigger injectors or a bigger turbo or even the heart of the engine a bigger cam. But to say there's a magic set of trim codes that will get you 600hp is truck stop talk

But what Im getting at is just because one set of Hot trim codes was used on one engine and it ran good doesn't mean yours won't blow up now Im not hear to tell you what to do after all its your truck and in my benefit if or when things break but I dont like to see people blow up there engines because of truck stop talk or it worked on there buddies truck or they know someone who went to school for nine months they know what there doing just fair warning

But hey what I know Ive only been doing this for 25years Now you can either choose to ignore this and maybe your engine won't blow up but dont say I didnt warn ya stay safe and thanks to all truck drivers for what you do.
