VerifiedHey Stu, if you bring them to your nearest Cummins dealer, they may be able to tweak them a little in the programming or possibly a calibration change might help but if you have aftertreatment on your exhaust, are you sure you don`t need to do a parked regeneration. Do you have a soot light on or an engine lamp on causing a derate. At any rate, your best bet is to take it to a Cummins dealer for sure and see what they can do to give them more juice without doing any major changes to the engine. Hope this helps!
