HHO is BS.
An HHO generator produces a perfect stochiometric mixture of H2 and O2 gas. (If you read anywhere that their HHO system produces "H1" gas, run. Very fast. H1 exists for the half a femtosecond it takes a hydrogen atom to find and bond with another hydrogen atom.) And it requires more energy to pry water apart than you'll ever get by burning it. That energy comes, of course, from the engine in your truck. Yes, I know..."the HHO system puts more air into the cylinder." Yeah, yeah, yeah...even if you were venting the hydrogen into the air that oxygen won't do anything for you because diesels run extremely lean anyway. You can double the amount of diesel being pumped into the cylinder and still not use up all the air...we know that because one of the most popular engines made today has ratings from 400 to 565 hp and all they change to increase the hp is the injector bodies.
If you want more power from your diesel engine, first change the muffler. It will cost you between $1500 and $3000 to install an HHO system that won't actually do anything for you; for $300 you can put a very high-flow muffler on your truck that'll add 50 hp by reducing back pressure.
If you still want more hp, you can reprogram the ECU.
If you've got an old truck with a mechanical engine, after you change the muffler you can add a propane injection system. This works very well, and you can go two ways: you can inject propane to increase hp with the same amount of diesel burned, or you can keep the same hp and replace some of the diesel with propane - which lets you operate less expensively because propane's cheaper than diesel. Some guys are also running nitrous oxide, but you can usually get the same result (nitrous adds more O2 to the cylinder) by adjusting your turbo.
There is one good application for HHO. Jewelers fuel their torches with it because they don't have to store flammable gases on the premises.

What is the difference between a Turbo Diesel engine and a TDI engine?
Turbo Diesel Intercooled......Intercooler cools compressed air before it enters intake manifold... cool air=more dense=more power=efficiency!EDIT BY APWOLF:TDI Stands for Turbo-Direct-Injection.Meaning, it's a Turbo.Direct injection, Meaning, It directly Injects Fuel (in this case, Diesel) Into the Engine, Rather than Right Before the Valves.

Which diesel engine is more efficient at medium revolutions - with turbo or without?
with the turbo
What happens to a diesel car when the turbo brakes?
Depending on what you mean by breaks, if you engine is no longer pressurized the diesel will not combustion in the cylinder. Diesel has to be pressurized before it will ignite, unlike gasoline.
Why does your diesel engine whine when you accelerate?
Probably from the turbo.
How much does it cost to rebuild a diesel turbo?
That will vary depending on what engine the turbo is off of.
