Hey guys,
I’m in the market for a used WK2 Grand Cherokee. I’m coming from a Range Rover Supercharged, so I’m exclusively looking at the Overland models. I checked out three already. One was a 2012 with a Hemi, 80k miles, but the rear subframe was a flaky, rusty mess. Someone was often at the...
Regarding the disabled DEF gauge.
After the W58 (Tone Wheel) recall, SFT's updated tune gave me bad DEF messages and an engine light when I installed distilled water. SFT sent me a correcting tune, however, the DEF gauge no longer worked and the DEF pump no longer operated. I complained and...
...of the engine.
Oil Analysis done every oil change could also show any potential problems before they are catastrophic.
Do a search for enginetunes and Oil analysis on this forum will give you countless hours of reading to help you make informed decisions.
Welcome and have fun browsing...
I had a tech come by my house that does re-tunes so that he could program in the new Injector timing info into the Non-volatile memory of the ECM. Afterwards he was able to force a regen with his Programmer device. He was using the Autel Maxisys. He said it cost $6k...
I think the ECO can be hit or mis, but mostly hit, I dtuned mine early at around 16 or 17k miles, a good engine & transmission tune can help limit/eliminate the problems that may or may not exist in the platform tune, I chose a tuner that allows the EGR to be shut off, I chose SOFA KING TUNED...
I have also noticed the shifting issues with the latest SFT tunes (actually been dealing with it since last fall) and I have discussed this with them and they are not acknowledging the changes. I am not sure what they are trying to accomplish but I would gladly go back to the original tunes I...
I have been using SFT tunes since they started, however, they have made changes that are causing me to shop for a new tuner. I am posting this to alert SFT owners on the four forums where I'm a member.
1 -SFT stopped including the ability to go into cruise control below the stock tune's MPH...
...Nation Wide programmers who offered a delete option. I know of a couple of local shops who do thier own programming but not advertised and may not be totally reliable as they have no telemetry to check their changes and may not have a complete grasp of enginetunes, just lots of smoke.
Good Luck.
Hey, newbie here regarding these 'tunes'......I have a '16 EcoD......about to order the SFT all in one package....but unclear on checking on/off boxes on the order page.....I noticed the "EGR Removed" box is pre-checked.....Mine is still intact so I unchecked it but am I missing something...
Hello!
I'm curious to see what input I can get from y'all regarding performance upgrades for my 2018. I have the SFT Stage 2 and trans (with Ralley Time) tunes and have done the turbo-back delete. 3.92 gearing and am 4x4.
I'm looking to gradually build a sleeper. I'm looking to lift the truck...
Thanks for your info. I was told by a mechanic at the dealership that Chrysler can see haw many times the ECU has been flashed and if it has been flashed more than what Chrysler did they would void the warranty. I would really like to tune the truck with at least a stage 1 tune as I plan on...
The short answer is no, the dealer has no way of knowing your engine was tuned if you take it out before having your vehicle serviced. The search feature is your friend!
Here are many hours of reading for you to regard before making a decision!
Thank you for the answers! Happy I decided. It to get the tuck that was billowing white smoke when it said said it was doing a regen on the highway. Didn’t know if that was normal for EcoDiesel tho because my X5 diesel you’d see a little white smoke then black ash go out the tailpipe when it was...
I want to know how you know when your EcoDiesel is doing a regen and also how do you tell when it needs a regen?
In theory, it should happen in the background with no user input. The factory programming takes care of the process without the driver even knowing. You'll only receive a message if...
Hello, I want to start a build on my eco diesel, I want some input on anyone who has done 2020 upgrades such as deletes, turbo upgrades, exhaust, and tuners. I know it is pretty new and maybe most of it may be a lot of custom work but I just want to know what others have done.
