10 K Mod
Wow! Just finished the 10 K mod on my 96 PSD with 205,000 miles. I can't believe the difference in performance. Seems like it has added 50 HP and 40% more low in torque. Took me about 10 minutes on the outside and cost $1.00 for a 6 pack of resistors.
Thanks to all for your postings on how to do the 10K mod. Great site!

Yes you can it is safe especially if you don't do alot of heavy pulling up hills. I did mine before gauges and when I put them in the temps are close but not too hot. Remember don't pull over 5-6000lbs. up hill for 10 miles and you will be fine.

Didn’t know the towing limitations with the mod. I pull a 12,000 pound fifth wheel often. I guess I will need to remove the mod before towing. I was looking forward to the added HP and torque.

If you are not towing extreme, ie: up hill bothways and at a high rate of speed you might be fine. I just pulled a Maxima and gooseneck trailer across NC the long way mountains and all and My after turbo temp got to 900-950 at times. That means the pre turbo was "probably" close to or at 1200 degrees and that is the max I would go. Although it only did that in the mountains and when I was passing up hill. I estimate the weight I was pulling to be around 5000 or a bit more.

Does a good chip like TW or DP make the 10K pointless, or is there benefit to having both? I haven't bothered with the 10K yet because I am getting a chip. Wrong assumption?

That is a good question that i do not know the answer to. I do see people here that run the 10K with a chip or programmer and I see others who do not. I imagine it depends on which chip you have. I would ask Tony or DP to be sure.

Alot of people say that it is a pointless mod with a Dp or Ts chip as the tunes already cover that area inwhich the 10k mod tweaks. I personally run them stacked and I think I can tell a difference. I have yet to dyno it with it stacked and without to see if there is a diffrence. I'll be sure to post up what I find

I am from Charleston, SC and I am familar with the beautiful NC mountains. Sounds like I need to install a temp gauge for the turbo and tranny do you know of any links for instructions on "How to" install theses gauges?
Thanks,
Justin
