Why is it that every time someone praises SFT here, on other forums, or even on facebook - people jump to the conclusion that it was paid? Yeah, it was paid I PAID THEM for the tune and it's running great. I want more people to experience this and don't want them damaging their trucks with cheap...
Both companies have tunes that can leave the emissions in place. When you go to the dealer youll need to flash it to stock some how. With GDE you have to swap the ECM, with SFT; you need to plug in the programmer to the OBDII
Some service managers look the other way.
I posted the following thread on another forum. This other forum has a lot of users who think pedal commander is a suitable alternative. But I did want to post my thoughts regarding SFT here as well.
I did not simply for the convenience of OBDII tuning. No need to have a second ECM or wait in the mail to reflash every time I need warranty work.
Also supposedly SFT focuses more on low end performance for GDE is more top end. I do mostly in-town driving and no towing. It seemed like a better...
SFT Is the way to go 100%. Simple install, no ECM swap or downtime for your truck.
Ontop of that, Jimmy is super easy to work with! Very responsive.
Truck feels great post-tuning. I opted for only the stage 1 but a little curious to see what a full delete and stage 2 feels/sounds like :P
Tune that son of a gun. My SFT programmers showed up in the mail today. Gonna race home (as fast as this POS, post-AEM slug will go) and slap those tunes on ASAP :)
This is not true at all. Did you even read the list of what the new warranty covers?
Fuel System, Turbo, all emissions components and there was some engine parts covered as well. I don't have the sheet infront of me but it's a good warranty. For Free. Forget $85/month.
I took advantage of this deal and Jimmy is more than helpful putting up with my stupid questions over facebook.
I would advise you guys to take advantage of this deal too before the sale is over. $720 for TCM AND ECM tuning? Yes please!
So I haven't seen anyone open a dedicated thread for this but Ill post my thoughts of the flash below and feel free to add your experiences below.
2016 Ram Ecodiesel:
I received the flash 6 days ago. In that time I have had a chance to drive my truck under many circumstances including around...
Soooooooo Truck runs like shit...
As if the EcoDiesel didn't have enough turbo lag it's border-line dangerous to pull into traffic with this truck.
You can be rolling 40mph, step on the gas and there is literally ~2.5 second spool up time.
If I would have test driven this truck in this...
I'm going to pick mine up in an hour and the wife really isn't going to let me tune until I get the check 😂
Needless to say, I'm terrified about how my truck is going to run
