On my '84 International 10-wheeler dump truck with a DT466... I turned the fuel way up and adjusted the star wheel, as per the online instructions with pictures.
The truck is no longer an old pig. It roars up the hills. I can't believe it's the same truck that used to start choking at the mention of a slight rise in grade.
But yesterday near the top of a hill there was a loud noise like a tire blowout.
I found a broken hose clamp dangling in the engine compartment and then noticed I'd blown the turbo crossover pipe off the intake manifold. I had a new clamp with me and was back on the road shortly without problems.
But it has me wondering if I've created excessive intake manifold pressure and if that could cause major problems in the future...
