can anyone tune a international tow truck
 

my firend has a 97 international flat bed tow truck its slow on take off and top speed is 72 mph he wants to get it tuned to get rid of the govener can anyone do it and how much

what motor the "466" with the 6+ trans? 72 mph is hauling ass for one of those trucks.

The people that work on some of the trucks in our fleet are towing companies. His company doesn't do that I assume?

466 with the 5 speed trans its slow on take off and up hills

cause its a heavy truck with a less then adequte drivetrain. I hate those truck combanations. Rider uses them in 90% of their box truck fleet and everyone I drove is a pig. Reliable though, how much punishment and raggidy some of the ones I drove, each one made it back home .. :)

He can try taking it somewhere and they can adjust it somewhat, but its not going to win any races....

he goes far with the truck all over nj ny and pa ,do you know anyone that can adjust it so it can run alot faster

Try searching around, and calling some of these places. If they can't do it they might know someone that knows someone.....

you can also use "heavy truck repair" in the searches also.

find your Vehicle speed sensor cable and put a switch in between. that = no governor, but you wont know how fast youre going.

thanks ron i have to tell my firend about that

im curious as to why you have to go over 70mph in a bigass flatbed towtruck

going up hills its a slug and the truck is used mostly for transporting cars long distance

Its a diesel right? I've been doing some homework on making my diesel faster and I hear that if you retime the injector pump you can get a bit more power that way.

thanks but how do you re time it
