    The old one was a bit outmoded. This new one is much better - thanks for the email. :)

    GDE Problems??

    I'm guessing the Captain is referring to Verndiesel. Amazing that most all his 500,000+ miles are towing trailers as he delivers trailers for dealers.

    Ready For Anything

    Yes, a Fumato valve makes it even easier - get one with the tubing nipple. I drain into an old 6 gal outboard motor plastic gas tank. Works perfectly as they are flat, have a wide opening and a good screw on cap. Bought two of them for5 bucks at a garage sale. Right now Rotella T-6 is on...

    Running a Tune, and going to a dealer?

    He is Michael Nivens at Perry Chrysler in National City. Tell him I referred you, he'll treat you right. Give him a call first as he's hard to contact otherwise By the way - GDE can no longer modify, maintain, or update existing tuned Calif trucks. Nor can they sell any new tunes as CAlif EPA...

    Ready For Anything

    Congrats on your new truck. You should consider changing oil and filter yourself. The Eco is probably the easiest engine I've ever worked on to change oil & filter. That way you know it's done right and yo save a bundle. If you so decide, be informed. For example, it needs to drain for...

    regen

    1-can anyone tell me if a manual regen is possible? Edge Insight CTS2 will do it. However, Edge has yet to program it for the 2017 2-also which obd reader is the best for this truck. OBDLink MX Scanner is best (because it will scan all modules) & is the most expensive. "Best" really...

    Factory Extended Warranty Max Care

    I double recommend Rodney. He's a straight shooter with the best pricing and only sells Chrysler Mopar Warranties.

    Aux Light attachment bar??

    Thanks SignGuy, The Ranch Hand guard attaches both to the tow hook mounts and underneath - very strong! My son added the light cage to protect the HIDs. Smaller HIDs would have been better but I had these from another truck (they are custom modified Hella halogens). If you get a light or...

    Aux Light attachment bar??

    All available options that I am aware of will compromise your front bumper parking sensors. I have a front Ranch Hand guard and 7" HID lights and have to run 100% with the front parking sensors "off". I tried the caps that go over the affected sensors, and other mods, allowing the other...

    Banks Derringer

    BoostN, I agree regards stacking. So does Banks who says: The idea of stacking in-line tuners is foiled by the EcoDiesel ECU. It limits EGT to 1500F. We manipulate that with the afterburner and get all there is to be had. Stacking anything on top of this, as long as you're running the stock...

    Banks Derringer

    I wonder about a Derringer added to a GDE tuned truck. OK? Results? Consequences? Guess GDE would say, "don't do it". Guess Banks would say, "no problem".

    K & N air filter

    Not sure what engine you have. Everything I have read reports that the Ecodiesel OEM system is very efficient and cannot be improved. They especially say to not use an oil type K&N filter as they do pass particles.. ` I say, leave it stock.

    Anyone using Hot Shotz EDT? If so, has it helped?

    I have consistently used Archoil's AR6200. There was a forum user who tested many products including fuel additives. He concluded there were many that did nothing but discovered that Hotshot's EDP worked and was the best. I was so impressed with his study I began using EDP too. I now use a...

    Cleaned map sensor and egr tube wow!

    From Google - you can't use a carb or brake cleaner for cleaning MAF sensors, the chemicals in those cleaners can destroy the sensors. CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner is Plastic Safe and made specifically to clean MAF Sensors. you can use a MAF cleaner on a throttle body, but you cannot use...

    what weight dist hitch should I have?

    Over the years I have tried nearly all the WDHs and sway control devices. I found that the Equal-I-Zer 4 pt Sway to be the best.

    Diesel additives

    Here's an old (2007) test that supports Borbet's comment.

    Diesel additives

    I use Archoil's AR6200 Awhile back on another forum a member ran extensive tests and found the only one that had any measurable effect was HotShot's EDT (He did not test AR6200). I have tried EDT and now run an Archoil & Hotshot mixture. I use a 16oz bottle and put in 4 oz of AR6200 with 12...

    My 2015 EcoDiesel with 33,000 mi caught fire this morning.

    Last year when discussing another matter with GDE tuning they recommended removing the foam inserts. I did not do that because I was concerned about added noise. After more research and threads like this about foam and fires, I am going to remove the foam. For those that have removed their...

    Good Lord, should I even buy an ED

    I bought a 2016 new and love it. No problems and performs as advertised. I've owned trucks for over 60 yrs, mostly 3/4 or 1 ton pickups. This is my second 1/2 ton and it far exceeds the others. I say go for the one you have found but like Scottd says, check it's maintenance record - very...
