| How To Turn The Fuel Up On A 60 Series Detroit |
Hold on There, Captain Ahab!
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of turning your 60 Series into a coal-rolling comet, a word of caution: modern engines are complex beasts, and messing with the fuel delivery can be a recipe for disaster. Like, molten pistons and wallet-vaporizing repair bills kind of disaster. So, unless you're a certified mechanic with a side hustle in dragon-taming, this might be a job best left to the professionals.
But Officer, It Was Just a Little Fuel Adjustment!
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Okay, okay, we hear you. You're a tinkering whiz with a thirst for speed (or at least a slightly less sluggish pull up that hill). In that case, let's explore some theoretical options, purely for entertainment purposes.
Disclaimer: By "theoretical" we mean this information should not be taken as actual advice. Seriously, we don't want you getting stranded on the side of the road with a truck that looks like it auditioned for Mad Max.
Under the Hood Voodoo (Not Recommended)
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
There are whispers on the trucker forums (unverified, of course) about tweaking the governor spring or modifying the fuel injection pump. But again, these are delicate procedures that can send your engine performance into a tailspin faster than you can say "warranty void."

The Zen Approach (Recommended)
Instead of turning up the fuel, how about embracing the natural power of your 60 Series? Keep her well-maintained, invest in some good quality fuel filters, and maybe even lighten your load a touch. A happy engine is a powerful engine, and you might be surprised how much better she performs with a little TLC.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Bonus Tip: Polish your chrome. A shiny truck looks faster, even if it isn't.
