I have run both GDE and SFT ECU tunes and I have to disagree with your comments. Regens on the hiway are basically the same, there is no "vastly higher" difference. I agree that local regens are different with GDE easily taking the prize. SFT has used FCA philosophy on local regens. Because...
The SFT Touchscreen only holds your tunes, allowing you to switch between your stock tune and your SFT tune/s. You are not able to monitor anything or make any changes
The Mopar coolant for our Ecodiesels is designated 10 years, 150,000 miles and Meets: ASTM D-3306 TYPE 3. While there is a lot of OAT antifreeze available be sure they meet the FCA Material Standard MS.90032 to be in compliance.
You guys made me want to check out the Banks Bullet. The Banks web sites are heavily promoting the Bullet but I could not find the product listed for sale. So I called Banks. The answer is those are old web sites, they no longer have a product called the Banks Bullet, only the Derringer is...
Sounds reasonable.
I just had the code. I changed my ECU back to stock and the message and limp mode disappeared. Put my SFT tune back in and all ok. My Sevice Manager said it was probably just an errant signal within the ECU, shit happens.
I know you can cause a regen with AlfaOBD but I didn't know we can track regens with it. Do you know what Alfa configuration gets to that ability? I track regens with my Edge monitor but would like to try Alfa as well.
As John said, way too heavy.
And - if you have an accident pulling that load your insurance company will abandon you for being overloaded. I know of two serious accidents where the insurance company refused any reimbursements, physical and medical, because they were towing heavier than the...
I haven't run into any disadvantages.
The risk involved is the same as any tune. Warranty risks and dealer flashing over come to mind.
Not sure what you mean but I haven't head of any issues with the exhaust/cat system.
Yes. I average 5,000 miles a year and change the oil every September. Owner Manual and Ecodiesel Supplement say, "Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), or twelve months, whichever comes first".
If the additive caused a problem they probably wouldn't fix it under warranty but it should not affect the warranty.
That said, I have never heard of an additive causing a problem.
