Over the last decade, the diesel engine has made a new name for itself. With the onslaught of new technology by the automotive industry, today's diesel engines are cleaner, quieter, more efficient, and more powerful than they were just 10 years ago. However, room was left for more efficiency and power out of these engines. And as the diesel engine continues to gain market share as the engine of choice, the aftermarket industry has stepped up to meet the consumer demand for more power and efficiency.

     MTW: Performance & Fabrication, LLC offers a wide range of aftermarket parts and components to satisfy the needs of its customers.  The most common upgrades for mileage are chip/ programmers, air intake systems, and exhaust upgrades. Chips and programmers work by altering the timing at which fuel injectors open, how long the injectors stay open, and sometimes by raising the fuel pressure. All of which has been optimized for efficiency and power. Air intake and exhaust systems work in the same manner by allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently. Each component individually will provide additional mileage, but a combination of all three will help you to squeeze the most miles out of a gallon of fuel. Keep in mind, any upgrade will also increase the power output of the vehicle as well. For those looking to substantially raise the power output of their engine, then there are turbo, fuel system, and internal engine upgrades as well.

     One must also look at upgrading drivetrain components as they raise the power output of their engines. For the most part, OEM drivetrain parts will handle an additional 100-120 HP. Anything over that, upgrades to the transmission, driveline, and axles are recommended.
