Increase from 237 BHP to 296 BHP and from 1,025 Nm to 1,281 Nm — without ECU remapping.
Engine family John Deere 6.8L →
STEINBAUER performance module for the John Deere 640L-III 6.8L PowerTech PSS Tier 4F, designed to provide increased power and torque while retaining the original ECU programming and factory engine safeguards.
Key benefits
- Up to +25% power and torque increase, depending on application.
- No ECU software overwrite — the STEINBAUER system works alongside the original engine management.
- Injection duration module developed to add performance without generic one-size-fits-all mapping.
- Removable solution that can be removed if required.
- Application-specific development for the individual engine and vehicle or machine application.
- Efficiency — More usable torque can help maintain performance through sustained harvesting, forwarding and extraction work without relying on higher engine speeds, which may support more efficient fuel use.
Actual fuel consumption depends on vehicle load, operating conditions, terrain and driving or operating style.
