...not supposed to.
Working the clock basically 24/7 for weeks, I partnered with an engineering company to develop to Stage 1 and Stage 2 enginetunes. There's hardly any smoke with the fully deleted tune. There's absolutely no throttle lag after 800 RPMs. The only throttle lag experience is...
Also a fellow ecodiesel victim in Wisconsin here. We have a Jeep that has been amazing and that’s the reason I bought my 1500 ecodiesel.
What features/modifications did you do with your GDE tune? I’m thinking high idle for winters, deleting the DEF (my county doesn’t emission test). Was your...
Sounds like a good plan, I plan on doing similar but I'll be going through SFT as their handheld can flash a single ECM as needed between tuned and stock.
Roger that Patrity...
All, i emailed GDE yesterday afternoon and they confirmed that the engine and transmission tunes are available for trucks that do not already have the GDE tune AND have had the AEM completed.
Here is my plan:
I will be purchasing a tuned ECM from GDE based on the AEM...
...now.
I talked to the guys at GDE last week as well. They told me it was going to be a couple months before they would have updated enginetunes for the AEM software. I have a note to call them back in July, and I hope to have my settlement money ready to pay for the GDE ECM/TCM tunes...
CS,
First, thanks again for linking me up with SKT! Looking forward to getting that settlement money to get the tunes!
Second, what is there truly to gain from taking your truck from Stage 1 to Stage 2? Better MPG? Power? For me as a western hunter, I don’t want a loud truck. Last damn thing I...
Getting the ugly out of the way first - somewhere around 7% of these engines die from main bearing failure. The engines were, in these cases, defective. The good news is that this is the easiest risk to mitigate because warranties on the drivetrain abound.
These are great trucks if you use...
I have good friend that is full Italian and just move back there not long ago. I told him what happened and he just laughed. For some reason wasn't surprised at all. He said that either the engines are amazing pieces of power and engineering or they are well ________ (add your imagination to the...
yeah, as TC Diesel says, some of these engines just aren't assembled well. No amount of good oil, magic spells or sofa king tunes will save them if they are not put together right. I bet the next engine has billet mains or at least are assembled by robots instead of Italians with a wrench in...
I actually got this ecodiesel from Bluebonnet up in New Braunfels :P
I'm not interested in sending in my ECM and having my truck down for a week or two. What are my alternatives? (I should have stated this in the OP)
Blue Bonnet DCJR is having a sale on the new 2500 with the Cummins engine! Who would have thought that the Number 1 Ram dealer in the country is in Texas? (everyone). Check out the GDE, PPEI or Sofa King tunes. All good.
Hey everyone, just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I don't have an EcoDiesel but I'm kind of considering a RAM as my next vehicle.
Since we're already here, let me get some opinions on what I would like to get and do to it.
I'm thinking a 2016-17 ED model with 4x4. I would like to...
look up Green Diesel Engineering or PPEI enginetunes. Without putting the EGR valve in a deep sleep this truck can be a PITA. My EGR is in a deep sleep and it has been a fantastic truck. Make sure you are buying it for highway driving and not city driving in bumper to bumper traffic. New...
I got mine for a wholesale-ish price. I’ve heard they are higher now but don’t know how much. Green Diesel Engineering (GDE) got me mine. I don’t believe they are a retailer/wholesaler for FCA but certainly you can talk to them. I also have there ECM and transmission tunes and have had great...
Nope, they don't touch the TCM...they do tell the transmission via the ECU (new engine tune) to hold gears longer etc..has to do with "torque request" from the driver basically. But no, it's NOTHING compared to actually tuning the transmission. Which you can do completely stock. If you decide to...
