PC to DI conversions for 3406 Truck Engines can now be performed at the lowest possible flat rate price. How? Among other ways, through the careful selection and use of exchange components.

Why consider a PC to DI conversion in the first place? Here are eight ways you can benefit by converting to a DI engine:

1) Increased fuel economy - which allows you to pay back the cost of conversion and see a return on your investment.

2) Greater trade-in value - because of increased horsepower and mpg.

3) Higher horsepower - that helps you meet your changing needs without purchasing a new engine.

4) Improved startability - DI engines usually start unaided, down to about 30 °F.

5) Less demand on the cooling system - because there's no precombustion chamber to cool.

6) Improved torque rise - which generally provides better performance and increased fuel economy.

7) Economy ratings - that can improve fuel efficiency by an additional 1-3%.

8) Parts interchangeability - in situations where you own both PC and DI engines.
