No, they simply don't give the engine as much fuel.
The more fuel you give a diesel engine the more power you will make up to the point you burn it up, break it, or hydro lock it.
Many engine makers have the same engine make different power outputs. I think Cat's 3208 makes from low 200's to over 500 HP. Same engine, just different fuel settings.
My friend has a class 8 Volvo that he detuned to 400 HP to get better mileage. A lot of trucking company owners do this also.
