    So I have a '93 9600 series single axle COE. It has a mechanical 310hp L10, eaton 9, 3.93... I'm doing an oil analysis and should have the results done either tomorrow or the next day and let you guys know what they find. It has about 290k miles on the original engine. I haul LTL and am registered at 54,999 and when going up hill with a 10k lbs load or more, it's kind of a struggle. Let's say for now, the engine is in good shape overall. Is there any way I can upgrade my turbo or anything else to gain a little more power? I'm kind of a dummy when it comes to tuning mechanical engines. My experience is with the newer stuff:biggrin_2552:

    I'm not looking for an insane amount of power and reliability and fuel efficiency trumps all. What should I be looking at? You can't say sell it, haha... This truck has been awesome so far.

    Thanks

    Forgot to mention. I have an H2e turbo. Would an HX55 be a compatible upgrade? Any supporting mods if I go this route?
