You might want to call Green Diesel Engineering if wanting to better understand how tuning will affect the powertrain. We have much more experience on these engines than anyone else out there.
The engine brake must be calibrated properly. Do not exceed Garrett's backpressure spec for the turbo and do not exceed the limit for valve float. The head gasket is a different issue as the cylinder pressure would have to be very high for that to fail. CP is low during engine braking as no...
The vanes on the turbocharger are closing to increase pumping losses. Same as Ford Powerstroke or GM Duramax. This is very common on diesel engines, FCA made a mistake by not incorporating it from factory.
We have tested the OBD solution(s) extensively and already know it works fine on all model year and on all the current available software versions.
For a few different reasons at this time we're sticking with the bench flash approach, also considering that in any given model year a customer...
Most likely a couple months after the FCA/EPA settlement. New engine software and trans software is being released and it will take some time to figure it out. Using an OBD tool before that is pointless as the new software will render the tool useless. You could also email us at...
Most folks don't write a review, but we have over 700 trucks successfully running our trans tune. It works very well on this application and can be customized if needed.
What you want to do has not been done before. The stock turbo with added second turbo is at 450hp, 700ftlb. If you add in the Green Diesel single turbo with the compound, it should be able to reach 500 hp on stock fuel system...for a while. It is a big investment and would recommend starting...
The EcoDiesel vehicles have both - ECM is under the hood, TCM is inside the transmission. Our tunes for both remedy this issue, you're in 8th gear generally from 53mph at worst depending on vehicle config. 8th gear to your heart's content.
We only had 3 customers running GDE tunes with failed bearings, all got new engines under warranty. The failure rate seems to be less with the GDE tune, but tuning in general is not the issue with the bearings failing. That is a design flaw in the stack-up tolerances or an assembly issue at...
The regen message will notify you of any active regen via the cluster. Factory typically regens behind the scenes and only notifies you if the filter is 80,90, or 100% plugged. This is a good feature for folks doing a lot of city driving.
The high idle cuts the engine warmup time in half vs...
