DD15 increasing torque

I think it may depend on the application it was originally built for. I’d just check with Freightliner.

 

Detroit Desiel can answer that. I tried to on a 2013 DD15 but it only had two settings. I couldn’t get the 500hp on it because that engine was not designed for 500hp. Freightliner didn’t know other than what was in the DDDL. Same should go for Tq.

 

contact Detroit desiel, they will take the numbers and tell you what can and can’t do. Freightliner techs will tell you the same.

 

He means what the engine was spec'd for with that drive train. If you have a 505hp rating, then the torque is limited for a reason, you have an autoshift trans?

 

I’m not sure about the DT12, but there’s soooooo many different ratings for engines/drivelines. Not trying to be a dick, but you just need to contact Freightliner or Detroit. All you’re gonna get here is speculation.
