    If it your truck take it to a shop and have it done. If it a company truck I would not touch it. Many more will tell you the same.

    Most truck or engine dealers can turn it up for you. I don't recall whether Detroit will allow you to have the program, but I know CAT has a handheld unit you can buy for about $700. It seems to me as though it would be less expensive to just pay a dealer to turn it up for you than go to the expense of buying the programming or computer to do the job.

    if it's a company truck, any ability to make changes is quite likely password protected

    detroit allows some hp change under engine parameters. it can be changed by any shop with a pro-link scanner and ddec cartridge

    to increase hp beyond the original limit, a programming station is required; ddc or freightliner dealer

    it's not feasible to buy hardware/software unless you have a decent size fleet... imo

    I am lost do you want the top speed turned up or the horsepower? On each perameter there are a few choices for each but the engine manufacturer only lets you go so far each way. You can't get a 475 horse cat to put out 600. I tried
    Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.
