Your best bet for information about GDE’s product is their website. My take is that it’s a full reprogram of the ECM. I’m not savvy enough to breakdown everything they accomplish but it does shutdown the EGR and quiets all the foolish sensors such as quality of DEF and whatnot. (You can run...

I have no experience with other tunes but here is my take on it... GDE does their tune mostly for a better driving experience such as throttle response and cruise control enhancements, just to name a very few of what they all do. Other tuners seem to focus on making as much HP and torque as...

My main advice is to avoid the military overseas auto sales racket. They say tax free but you lose the ability to negotiate completely. Getting $10-12K off sticker is pretty standard and buying now at the end of the year and model style you could do much better. Just have your credit union...

so I was looking for a tune on ppei today for a different engine and stumbled back over to the ecodiesel tunes and they now make an option that you can select between all the tunes they offer, for an extra 150$ (100 for the other tunes, 50 for the selector switch). I am mainly just throwing this...

did you remove the actual egr after tune? how's it been so far? I have a hemi but looking to trade for a ED. cummins to big and expensive for once in awhile towing.. thoughts anyone

Hi gang, I've had my '14 ED for a couple of weeks now, just turned over 60,000 miles and it's all I've been looking for! I have had a Jeep Commander Hemi that has awesome power, goes ANYWHERE and is very comfortable - but averaging 15.6 mpg's on the highway doesn't cut it when I'm putting 4000...

Congrats. Some tunes will produce more power help mileage & help your oil to stay clean etc but the aftermarket intake is more about being to be able to use other engine management systems for useing this engine in others applications & with other transmissions be it race, military, or like...

It's definitely more efficient! I would encourage you to stay away from tunes that could overspeed the turbo (high performance tunes) but I didn't buy mine to burn rubber. I have a GDE Hot Tune and love it! Keeps the engine cleaner by shutting off the EGR and eliminates turbo lag. You get a bump...

Thanks. I’ve read a lot of good things about the GDE tune!! Thinking about going with regen and high idle tunes also. Don’t know about engine brake. I’ve got 3.92 rears.

First time diesel owner? The truck well down shift to attempt and control its speed while going downhill. But a diesel engine without compression or exhaust braking well do little to hold itself back. There is aftermarket ecm tunes that close the vanes is the turbo to create back pressure thus...

Just FYI, the GDE tune, is an actual RAM ECU, which is why they give a heavy discount for a core exchange. They reuse it. Just look around the forum. I was researching it after I purchased a 2017 ED. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

The GDE tune is a full replacement ECU exchange. So, you remove and replace the ECU I am pretty sure it does not have any RAM marking on it as it is an aftermarket ECU. So if ram want to open the engine bay they can see the different ECU. I am wanting the EGR turned off and the Engine brake...

Great feedback and review!

I've been running the tune now for several months. For me it was not an earth shattering improvement in performance. The performance improvement is a bit more like your horse feeling his oats a bit more in the morning. Not the mind blowing the improvement some tunes give but at the possible...

Great review. Thanks for sharing!

I ended up going with the GDE tune. Pros: Regen - Definitely has slowed the regen process Mileage - So far it is up, a bit early to tell, but looks to be at least 10% and possibly more Engine brake - Likely my favorite feature so far Cold start high idle - Will be useful in the winter. It only...

Thread not intended to bash anyone or anything. Title could be better now that i look at it, lets change it to "GDE Tune Before & After" Have not seen any independent actual postings of Before and After so descided to make one. As I said not expecting anything in a $1K MOD. My Cummins cost...

What a terrible thread title - click bait level 10. You CAN'T keep torque peak on a diesel engine until 3500 RPM. Physics. Diesel doesn't combust fast enough at that RPM to make power. You can get a flat peak in the 2-2800 range, but above that it just isn't going to happen. GDE reviews are...

I get *VERY* uncomfortable when anyone stacks tunes and boxes. It is always a bad idea. I know GDE does extensive testing to be sure their tunes do not negatively effect engine/turbo life, and adding a tuning box on top of that throws all that testing into the garbage. I'm not surprised...

I have been Running Banks Bullet for almost 20K Miles. Its a pressure box... Adding pressure to any CR engine is by far the safest way to do so ,But it does have limits and the Banks Bullet DOES not exceed this limit on the 3.0. When the Jailbreak arrives I will log the tunes that are out...
