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.
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...
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...
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...

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.
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...
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.
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...
