move to an unincorporated area, I live down in Ajo & we have no testing requirements.
I did a stage 1 from SFT & can run distilled water in place of DEF.
I forgot to mention the lack of I-PHONE SUPPORT, if you don't have a windows machine you can get a tablet for 50 or 60 bucks. I'm running it on an old kindle, I wasn't completely sure it would run on a Kindle, so I downloaded the trial/demo to try & then bought the full Android version for it.
ALFAOBD, 49 BUCKS for Windows or Android & tablets, I'm running it on a KINDLE, also need a wireless dongle, I think I bought an MX+, & I think it was about 80 bucks. Android version of ALFAOBD is available from AMAZON as is the dongle. If you need the Windows version of ALFAOBD I think you'll...
I've used HotShots Stiction eliminator & HotShots FR3, some say we don't need the stiction eliminator , but I tend to disagree as stiction can and will occur in turbo bearings as well. I'm using Hotshots EDT & LX4 in my fuel as well as HotShots EXTREME every 6 months. Lab tests have shown...
I just sent SFT an email, my truck is stage 1 tuned & it's still drinking DEF like a mad man with a full keg, I've put in over 10 gallons in less than a month, right now we're doing over 1100 miles a week, I put in ten gallons last weekend & it showed full, & it's at about 60% right now. The...
I found that before my AFE SPRINT BOOSTER it was VERY hard to gauge & maintain rpms with the way the throttle came on, my SFT tune helped more than the sprint booster. Getting the temp under 400 degrees is to keep from coking the turbo bearings, I read numerous posts that say it won't happen...
The parameter rpms and exhaust temperature , I think DPF INLET, I watch my edge soot parameter & the regen status, when it starts a regen on it's own I'll drive until it shuts off, I had one 80% message & that's when I decided I needed something to tell me when it's happening. The fact that it...
I'm gonna have to take a look at the clutch values, I'd like to be able to tweak the 3rd gear issue a little, but won't unless I can figure it out to the gnats azz. When I was doing transmissions I always did necessary mods to add clutch plates, installed a shift kit & often increased line...
Mine was under light to moderate load & throttle & more like it wanted & needed to downshift & just wouldn't do it, then it would drop a gear & come on like gangbusters, back in the old days it would have been a balancing act between throttle pressure & governor pressure, that was old school...
I did an SFT stage 1 on my 2017 in early July, it's been great so far, I did contact SFT about increased DEF consumption (over 5 gallons in about 3000 miles), & a little bit of hesitation stumble/ doesn't quite know what gear it quite wants(3rd gear light to moderate load & throttle), SFT said...
ALFAOBD is available from AMAZON, it's available for ANDROID or PC, I think the PC version must be obtained from the ALFAOBD website. You can search that & find out. I got the trial version to make sure it would work on the platform I wanted to use( an unused KINDLE FIRE), full version is 49...
I think I found AlfaOBD on the PC, I'll see if a link & post it, ALFA seems to be the app of choice for the ECODIESEL. The CTS 3 does not support a forced regen that I've been able to find, it will give you soot mass and regen status, several exhaust temps, , engine oil temp & pressure, coolant...
Alphaobd is a phone , tablet or pc app that will give you the ability to do a plethora of things on your ram, obd scantool, the ability to turn on options & change some parameters of some modes of operation, such as fog light operation etc, and can allow you to force a stationary regen to help...
Putting it back on would totally defeat the purpose of tuning. I used to love the smell of some diesels BUT after working on Locomotives for 10 years not so much anymore, they could fill a large shop with thick smoke in just a couple of minutes.
