    HELP! What is the less expensive route to do a DEF delete.

    I wanna know where he found a tuner for 90 bucks. I paid just shy of a grand for my SFT, $950.00 after a $50.00 coupon so 950 plus taxes was 995.00 & change, plus another 400 for a CTS 3. I wish I could run the diluted adblue.

    Stupid oil changing question

    I've had my 17 since December, did an oil change in February and my dipstick is still at the full mark, no obvious oil consumption at all. It's at about 6000 miles since the last oil change & the oil life monitor is at 50 something percent, I haven't seen an oil level indicator on the dash & if...

    Can’t find mechanic

    I think the fines for a shop removing emissions on a vehicle start at &50k per incident, if an inspector wanted to be an ass he could count EGR as 1 infraction, SCR removal as another one , and DPD another one, $150k at the minimum fines. I remember sitting at a stoplight in Phoenix watching...

    Fines are huge for a shop removing emission controls, man up & assume that risk yourself.

    What's the best Engine Tune

    That's crazy unless you have newer truck, mines a 17. I think they are still having issues with the newer trans tune.

    What's the best Engine Tune

    Did the tune this morning and initial impressions are good, still a tiny lag off idle, but unlike before I think it's turbo lag, sitting stationary it will start to rev immediately where as before you didn't know when the rpms would start to rise, feels like throttle feel will be much better. On...

    ?? There is nothing in the diagnostics menu but the option for trouble codes.

    EDGE CTS 3

    Got it taken care of & now have all the PID's I want/need, but was under the impression I could force a regen with it, when I tried earlier today the manual regen option and the mobile regen options were not there in the diagnostics menu, just the diagnostic option. Anyone have a clue??

    What's the best Engine Tune

    HMM, maybe throw ALFA at it & do some poking around. I was just looking at illustrations from the factory service manual & it shows a DEF quality sensor on the 2014 models, I wonder if it's the same on the 2017 models.

    What's the best Engine Tune

    That's kind of what I figured, I'll install the tune Thursday, I can't risk problems today because the wife has a doctors appointment in Phoenix tomorrow. I'd love the chance to try the tune but just cant chance it. I'm also curious about the folks running distilled water or diluted DEF, my...

    Tunes came in & both ECM & TCM are in the package as one file. John, how is the transmission rallytime tune activated once installed?

    What's the best Engine Tune

    Thanks again John, I've been working on diesels since 1979, but only a couple were this small, and they were strokes. Your knowledge on these is very helpful. Looking at maintenance diagrams and parts breakdowns this little engine looks to be very high tech & complex.

    At least I'm not the only one!! Hopefully there's not some magic recipe for getting the TCM usr file.

    What's the best Engine Tune

    I'm a little confused, the instructions on SFT's site show 2 steps to download the usr file, the instructions are the same for the 2 instructions with the exception of the name, is there only one file or am I missing something, the instructions are very clear but also confusing, is there one...
