Several of the older VM engines ran on Jet A for some past military projects. It did require some re-calibration for the heat release during combustion. The lubricity of Jet A is very poor and the fuel system life is compromised a bit. Engine longevity is not a primary concern in battle, most...

It could be, what is your drive cycle?

Only if you order the 'regen message' option. Otherwise, it always happens in the background unless there is a hardware issue.

Makes sense. Average regen interval is 500-700 miles on GDE tune.

Canadian tuning companies are not under the EPA jurisdiction. GDE is based in Michigan and thus has been shut down for US consumers by the EPA.

Canada is one of the 194 countries. Not available for US based vehicles only.

With the GDE tune there is no need to touch any hardware on the vehicle. However, it is only legal in 194 countries, not the US at this time. We will have CARB/EPA certified tunes in 3-4 months.

The Bank's intake is not a legal option according to EPA and CARB. Banks does not have swirl ports and will fail emission test.

Yes, you were wrong on that. $50 update was good on any tune verison for existing customers pre or post AEM.

We use a weighscale in development for dpf sootloading. It is very accurate and the same device Ford, GM, etc. use when developing the soot model inside the calibration. Our field and customer data fall right in line with the 80% soot reduction. EGR will has some effect to soot formation, but...

Distance between regens is the best method of determining how much soot the engine is producing. A refined engine calibration designed to reduce soot formation will not need to regen as often. Stock tune makes a lot of soot and averages a regen every 75-160 miles. The GDE tune reduces soot...

This is not true for GDE, when we were selling in the US. We can provide a tune pre or post AEM. Where are you getting your information about GDE?

That is correct and normal. You need a certain oxygen content in the exhaust during a regen to effectively burn the soot. EGR will mess that up something fierce.

That cooler does not have a CARB EO, so it is not legal. Just like an engine tune we used to sell. It is also a shell and tube design, not like the plate style in the factory egr cooler. This means less heat transfer and a hotter intake, most likely would not pass the required emission tests...

yes

Ram ecodiesel is certified LEV2, BIN5. We will run the FTP75, HWFEC, US06 and SC03 test cycles at a certified lab stock and then tuned. The cert process is expensive and quite some paper pushing. When we worked for the Big 3 in past lives, we certified a few applications, so this is not new...

Banks does not do tuning, his is a plug in box to the fuel pressure and a couple other sensors. It is strictly for more performance and they have the electronics set up so the power added occurs only at heavy throttle. In this manner, it is not doing anything in normal driving.

GDE is in the process of certifying the Ram application with CARB now. We should have an EO within a few months. We will be the first and only certified aftermarket engine and transmission ecm tunes on this application.

Wait a few months, Green Diesel Engineering will have the first and only CARB certified 50 state legal tune. Then you will be able to purchase it.

Green Diesel is still open, however we are only selling in 194 countries out of 195. No more sales in the US due to EPA incursions.
