2000 ud 1200 4.617l power questions
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:47 am
I just bought a ud 1200. It seems to lack power. It struggles to hold 55mph up hills on the highway empty. It is a manual with a 5 speed. Is it normal for these motors to be so lacking in horsepower? What should I start with looking at? The air filter is clean. The rubber tube leading to the turbo, from the air cleaner, seems a bit squishy. The only line that seems questionable is a little rubber line from the front of the turbo that leads to a diaphragm valve of some sort. Its old and dry rotted. Is there way to safely turn the power up on these things? I pulled the exhaust off from the exhaust brake thinking i could give it a little more ease at breathing. That seemed to help.
