    Present series 60 is 370/430. Can this engine be turned up by the ECM? What is the proper way, Engine is out of warranty.

    straight 430 for sure.what is tq set at now? in case your not sure.do you know trans model # ? there is a factory program for DDEC 3s. 430hp/1550tq. IMO best fuel economy program DD ever had.solid performance too. check with DD shop. 1550 tq will be fine if you have only 1450tq trans.DD should be ok with it since theres no warranty. if they say no,find another shop.

    As you can see it wasn`t me that didn`t know what DD stood for.:biggrin_2551: So I just stated what it was as the original poster (PaulE) didn`t clarify what DD stood for.:biggrin_2552:
