How can I find out how many horsepower my engine is?

Millenniums.....

 

New ones come once every thousand years.

 

That's more than enough for society to bare.

 

ECM = Electronic Control Module

You'd need to plug the truck into a laptop that has Detroit Diesel's diagnostic program. It'll read the engine's ECM. That would tell you what the HP/Torque is set to, your speed governor etc.



Because you seem a little confused, I'll try and clarify. ECM is a generic term for any computer module. Your truck likely has several of them. You kind of need to look at the context of what's being spoken about. The typical truck these days will have an engine ECM, a transmission ECM (if automatic), a body controller (controls the gauges, switches, lights etc) as well as ABS/TC/RSC control modules. Probably a few others that I'm missing too. Each ECM is responsible for controlling their specific component.

 

Have a Freightlinershaker plug into it. It can be turned up or down.

I mean you can't do that as a company driver, but they'll tell you what it's set at.

 

What is a Freightlinershaker?

 

Freightliner.

 

I'm handing this one off to you Dave. Have a wonderful weekend.

 

How much does that typically cost to hire the freightliner mechanics to do that ?

 

You might want to run that by your company first before you start messing with their equipment...
