Decreases fuel consumption and emissions
SPIER System from SPI.Systems Corporation is
an upfit that can be used to reduce emissions on
any diesel truck, from current models dating as far
back as 2010, including highway and work trucks.
It is a combination of exhaust plumbing and " dual
induction " of a portion of the tailpipe exhaust back
into the engine cylinders. The chemical engineering
of this approach releases alternative energy
in the combustion process which decreases fuel
consumption and emissions. There is no interaction
with or alteration of OEM systems on the vehicle.
Benefits include lower soot levels inside the engine
and a gain in power. Installation requires about six
to eight hours for most trucks from a kit of parts
supplied by SPI.Systems. The cost is structured to
deliver ROI in less than one year, the company said.

Save time and money by removing Diesel NOx
& Particulate Sensors " The Shockit™ Way " !
Removing rusted and obstructed diesel NOx and particulate sensors
has become an expensive and time consuming problem due to limited
access to the sensors and no space for tools that use lateral motion.
Too much time is wasted removing other vehicle components to get to
the sensors and there's a high risk of damaging the exhaust system by
attempting to remove a frozen sensor by traditional means.
The LT996D Shockit™ Socket Diesel NOx & Particulate Sensor
Removal Kit solves these problems by using the force and sonic vibration
of an air hammer along with a Shockit™ Punch to loosen the most
rusted sensors without thread galling and the compact design gives access
to the most difficult to reach sensors. Each Shockit™ Socket has 3 driving ears with
8mm inverted indexed holes for tightening and loosening, allowing the most stubborn
sensors to be worked back and forth during removal.
This patented kit includes 20mm, 24mm & 30mm Shockit™ Sockets, 22mm &
24mm Low Profile Shockit™ Sockets, a 22mm Thin Wall Deep Shockit™ Socket, 20mm,
22mm & 27mm bottoming tap and dies for sensor and mounting hole threads and a
non-turning offset 8mm radius tip LT1910P 11 " Standard Shockit™ Punch. Additional
Shockit™ Punches are also available separately.

to properly restore nitrogen oxide
detection to comply with emissions
regulations. This replacement
NOx sensor matches the function
and performance of the original
sensor on specified vehicles, OE
Nos. BC3Z9D378C, BC3Z9D378D,
