Most 3.0s will experience Service Electronic Throttle Control, in the end it will cost $2-3+K to resolve.
With the AEM and the service contract extended to 10/120 or 4/48 you need to keep the truck Stock until you receive the settlement payout....IMO the AEM is going to expedite the problems...
You have Options with Tunes, When it comes to power Pressure in a common rail is common in most tunes and Boxes, Timing and duration after that, messing with Timing duration comes at a cost.
VM Motori ,Cento Italy, is the plant were the 3.0 is assemble , The 3.0 has a terrible reputation Now.
