Cat diesel in F650, any performance mods?

[Morse]

I made an offer for a 2003 F650 pickup with a 7. 2 cat and allison trans. Are there any performance mods for these out. I think I saw the MP8 by TS was for this model. . That's all I've found. .

as long as the 7. 2 is over 200 horsepower it can be turned up on the computer if it's under that it doesn't have the needed internal parts to be turned up.

I believe he said it was 300hp, and 860 tq. .

Man you are brave. The Cat 7. 2 which is a 3126b is a terrible engine. They are plauged by injector tip problems. The last one I worked on the number 3 injector tip came off, slapped on the piston a lot, and then went on to frag the turbine wheel of the turbo. Cost the company $5000. 00 with a new piston, turbo, valves, and of course injector.

Put a Cummins in it! I drove a '98 F800 with a P-pump 5. 9 for a couple years. After about the first 6 months I got sick of the 190 hp won't get out of it's own way pig and adjusted it a little. I just backed off the starwheel and slide the plate about a 1/16". Ran great then.
