This old thread is the first hit on Google when searching for an LTSpice model for the IRL510.
In case anyone else is searching, I just wanted to report that the model posted in that thread does not appear to be compatible with LTSpice. In particular, the LEVEL=17 parameter for the NMOS model only applies to PSPICE, where it refers to the "Cypress" model. LTSpice supports other levels, but I couldn't find a substitute that led to sensible behaviour.
I'm going to resort to the built-in IRF510 model. I believe it is very similar except that the Vgs threshold is a few volts higher.
