Get a tune. MRTuning is very good. I’ve run several tunes and I like MRTuning best. Also recommend their trans tune.
EGR causes the lag. Try unplugging the EGR and see the difference. You’ll get a CEL but it will run much better. Be sure the engine is off when you unplug the EGR to ensure it is...
We have documented all of those things. For example, RussellandCissy with 433,323 miles (engine and truck) is 100% bone stock. Others have listed their tunes, maintenance intervals, driving habits, etc. Send me a private message if you want to see more information.
Do you have any aftermarket tunes or equipment on this truck? I am curious because it sounds like I have the same thing, but I have a tune, so I'm not sure the software update will work on my truck?
Well I bought my 2015 brand new and it has been a fantastic truck. Most people who are in one for the long haul would tell you to consider a quality tune that will likely increase longevity.
There are numerous tunes available but the GDE EPA compliant tune is well regarded and the EOC tune from...
So, most of us know that whoever came up with the idea of cramming soot back down the throat of our Ecodiesels should be tortured... slowly and painfully. Here's a thought though - the forums here and elsewhere all talk about EGR cooler deletes and tunes and the like, but what about taking the...
Well I have the SFT tune with the rally tune. It's not worth it. All I've had are problems sine I installed their tune. And can never seem to get someone on the phone. The mileage is BS no increase at all. When the tune isn't jacking up my ECU it's awesome. Powerhouse!!! But I'm in the process...
I've never heard of a dealer changing the stock tune, that's a big EPA violation. A second improved AEM recall software update/flash improved the delay for most owners, but not for all.
Hello. 2017 Eco. Yea I had that delay and dealer performed tune it’s like night and day. Service writer actually drove truck himself 20-25 miles after first tune, didn’t like it and had mechanic go thru again. 56000. No charge from dealer. My best mileage 28+ with a tailwind. If I’m pulling a...
2015 purchased used in 2021 with only 38k miles. Within the 1st week I had it deleted and tune stage 1. It will be 2 yeas in April 2023, works like a charm, 0 issues nor engine light.
Who did the tuning? That is what most likely lead to the engine failure. The delete tunes on Gen3 ecodiesel are made by clueless people. Most are just turning off egr and def and sometimes dpf. There is high pressure and low pressure egr on this engine. Turning off the egr effectively...
The failure is generally caused by the EGR system sending soot down the intake, which will eventually clog up the runners, work its way down to the cylinders, score the walls, get down into your oil pan, clog up the main bearings, and seize up the engine. This is what happens when idiots with...
Good plan. The Hemi's are great trucks and ton of fun to drive. My brother and I rented one for a week and it was a blast. Drove it all over southern Ontario including a trip and some 4x4 to the family cottage.
Contrast to the 2015 EcoD and it's like what the hey. Probably the worst $$ per...
Hey guys,
I’m in the market for a used WK2 Grand Cherokee. I’m coming from a Range Rover Supercharged, so I’m exclusively looking at the Overland models. I checked out three already. One was a 2012 with a Hemi, 80k miles, but the rear subframe was a flaky, rusty mess. Someone was often at the...
Regarding the disabled DEF gauge.
After the W58 (Tone Wheel) recall, SFT's updated tune gave me bad DEF messages and an engine light when I installed distilled water. SFT sent me a correcting tune, however, the DEF gauge no longer worked and the DEF pump no longer operated. I complained and...

Oil Analysis done every oil change could also show any potential problems before they are catastrophic.
Do a search for enginetunes and Oil analysis on this forum will give you countless hours of reading to help you make informed decisions.
Welcome and have fun browsing...
I had a tech come by my house that does re-tunes so that he could program in the new Injector timing info into the Non-volatile memory of the ECM. Afterwards he was able to force a regen with his Programmer device. He was using the Autel Maxisys. He said it cost $6k...
I think the ECO can be hit or mis, but mostly hit, I dtuned mine early at around 16 or 17k miles, a good engine & transmission tune can help limit/eliminate the problems that may or may not exist in the platform tune, I chose a tuner that allows the EGR to be shut off, I chose SOFA KING TUNED...
