All good. I didn’t know If I missed something in the process of reading about tunes and turning stuff on and off. I’ve opted to only block the egr tube until this egr recall is handled. Once I have a new egr installed I plan to undo all the cluster fca has installed on the motor.
Hey fellas
I wanted to start a little thread on my experience with SKT. I ordered both enginetunes and their trans tune the other week.
The order came in today and everything was there. I have contacted them with a question about the engine touch tuner, it seemed as if it was included but...
New Member but have been keeping an eye on this forum for a while. Thank you all for your help to this point.
‘15 - 88k miles
Burnt/Lost 2 gallons of coolant over a 3 week period of driving and light towing. This started about two weeks after the VM1 update. Went through the dealership service...
??? Okay not sure how it done it but instead of editing my last post it placed it down here.
Something to consider is $3k more than covers the cost of an aftermarket engine & transmission tune to fix what the gov messed up with the AEM. You don't need full delete or exhaust pipes just the...
Something to consider is $3k more than covers the engine & transmission tunes that the gov messed up with the AEM. Then you would have a better stronger more fuel efficient truck with features such as engine brake for towing than it ever was prior to the AEM. At the potential however unlikely...
I noticed my fuel economy was no ,t that great afterwards also. especialy city driving. It goes down when i drive in the highway but not as good as before tune with gde. No problem taking off when engine cold though
Hello everyone,
Like many others, I got hit with the "recall" while at the dealership for something else and immediately noticed performance issues. I managed to snag a GDE hot tune and transmission tune before the EPA silliness. I got back the acceleration, could pull out into traffic without...
Gotcha on the 18 days. Wow you were fortunate there. Also that the ED has the 100k warranty instead of the 60k that the gassers get.
AEM is the government/ law suit settlement retune (detune) and up to $3,075 that 2014 through 2016 trucks qualify for. If you never got notification then see...
Even if your degas tank (plastic tank top center of engine) is not empty you may be low on coolant in the system. (due to EGR cooler leak) Fill to full mark drive until truck reaches full operating temp let cool then check coolant level. You may need to add again. If this doesn't stay full...
I use the Andersen and have had good experiences with it. Husky Centerline is another solid choice with a more traditional design. Both also have built in sway control.
You can buy a better than stock aftermarket tune for the engine management computer. To turn off EGR, add an engine brake...
Hello,
I decided to create a login instead of just reading threads like I have been for a while. A little over a month ago, my driveshaft on my JGC ED went out. It was replaced under warranty but the dealer also completed the AEM recall, writing over my GDE engine and trans tunes. I had the...
I'm a new guy here, but thought I would make a couple of comments on this discussion.
FCA isn't the only horse to blame here, the main blame here lies with the EPA. The EPA is who is mandating all of the emissions requirements & components for these engines. Unfortunately these components are...
I purchased mine from Dave Smith 2018 with around 25 miles on it I payed him 35000.00 and he shipped it from the west coast to the east coast for me when I read it December 28 I drove it till my tuner came in from gde took all exhaust off installed tunes and it runs very well 26 mpg town road...
Well, this whole mess starts with the EPA. The Mandated EGR solved a problem 30 years ago, today creates more problems than it solves. The scientific evidence is present that with current SCR converters that NOX reduction does not need EGR. EPA claims that it uses only scientific based solutions...
Thanks for the report, very complete. Seems like all of us SFT users are more than satisfied.
I hope the GDE fanboys who declare that none of the SFT features work will read your report. Maybe, just maybe, they will accept the fact that the SFT tunes work as advertised.
Then I hope they read...
Congrats, you'll enjoy the truck again and you'll also notice your fuel economy improve the more and more the more you drive it. I've had a solid four weeks of city driving with very little highway, city traffic in Mississauga, short trips, probably 90% short trips, and I"m still holding steady...
