Hi, I just wanted anyone's feedback on a 2012 d13 with 425hp with I SHIFT. I haul a dry van and don't normally do heavy? Will it do me good or should I upgrade?

If you want to be king off the hill............then ,no,not for you.
If you can drive relaxed.........then it can be a money earner. -

It should be fine but can be software updated to 500/1850 if desired.

It will do you just fine as long as you're out to make money and not to show your stuff, because on the hills, a D13/425HP doesn't have much to show...
If you were looking for power, then a D13 with 465 or 500 would be your best bet but you're not gonna have a problem -
How exactly can I upgrade to 475? Dealer? And what do I need to change? Also, will it harm the engine in any way if I upgrade?

If you are happy with it's MPG and performance is good.............redcentury07 Thanks this. -
Have you had any luck

Picking the truck up on Friday, we will see after my first load. I hope with the ishift, everything is good.

example a D-16 in a Volvo 880 can have more than 625 hp but the same D-16 in a Volvo 780 CAN'T have more than 550 hp.... reason is you can't cool a 575 hp D-16 under the HOOD of a 780....same Volvo D-16 in a European truck can have up to 750 hpRustyBolt Thanks this.
