    Looking for a place that does single tune non emission for 2015 ecodiesel

    Several points. 1. Cummins EGR doesn't dirty the engine as much as FCA. 2. With SCR NOX catalyst actually EGR not necessary. 3. Banks Derringer has a CARB/EPA approval, although it does not turn the EGR off. 4. EPA attempted to make it illegal to convert any road vehicle to race use a couple of...

    EPA National Compliance Initiative - Stopping Aftermarket Defeat Devices

    Well, this whole mess starts with the EPA. The Mandated EGR solved a problem 30 years ago, today creates more problems than it solves. The scientific evidence is present that with current SCR converters that NOX reduction does not need EGR. EPA claims that it uses only scientific based solutions...

    Deleting or Extended Warranty

    Tune and drive, enjoy. Even with warranty coverage, good oil, appropriate oil change cycle, Oil analysis at oil change, is called for. Yes your driving style will affect your issues with the engine. Now I will state that ALL DEF/SCR/DPF diesel engines are suffering from Daily Driver style of...

    Shift Knob

    Just because IT said we can do it does it really need to be done? I still reach for column shifter after almost three years. My neighbors 2500 has column shifter, I find excuses to help him in projects where I can drive his truck, shhh, don't tell him.

    Diesel recall poor performance UPDATE from FCA

    HaaaHaa! Small number of complaints. That is because most of us owners went another way. My wife called and filed a complaint, I did not. I fixed the issue with both eco's by tune. If FCA issues a fix for the AEM fix I will not participate. I already have a satisfactory resolution and am out no...

    Air Suspension

    My next door neighbor purchased a 2017 new and stated that there was an option for air ride on his 2500 crew cab, $4500, so he did not opt in. After his first trip with his Toy Hauler RV, to Colorado, he purchased rear assist bags with on board compressor and in cab controls, uses to level out...

    Cruise Control

    My 2014 Laramie Longhorn Limited started early this year with the intermittent cruise not functioning or quitting mid trip. Replaced pad on steering wheel with improved performance until two weeks ago, turning off mid trip and not being able to turn back on, not turning on at all, or working...

    2016 EcoD with problems as AEM

    If they fix the fix I don't really care. I took FCA money and tuned both my eco's and got all my original performance back and better fuel mileage. End of Story, well maybe not, will be ordering ERG delete and storing it in garage until we spring a leak. Researching after market SCR and DPF...

    what weight dist hitch should I have?

    My first trip with our new Toy Hauler RV, 25ft. Salem FSX, 28ft at tongue we wiggled and wiggled, tongue was too high. The dealer had set the Equalizer hitch upon picking up the RV. Our air systems need a few minutes to completely react. When you first hook up to the trailer the truck...

    Air suspension pump leaking?

    I apologize for the delayed response. It appears that you have lost the Nitrogen charge. Definite leak. The system is a closed type that moves Nitrogen gas from a storage tank to the bags as necessary and back. That being said once you selected OffRoad II the system will attempt to achieve that...

    Air Suspension System Replacement

    Sorry to hear you guys are having issues. I had read other threads from a couple of years back about cold weather issues. My wife and I have had no issues with either of our air systems short of a weak fuse. We have taken several off of older Land Rovers but in the last couple of years the...

    GED tune failures??

    I removed my oil cooler/heater shortly after 100K miles, extended warranty, for an external filter cooler. No issues just wanted more consistent oil temps. I have eliminated the potential for stock cooler failure but have still not achieved cooler oil temps.

    EcoDiesel flash with settlement

    Can not explain individual performance but can state that the average is experiencing the same drop in performance as my 14 post AEM. I have talked with a 18 owner in my town and the first thing he asked me was if my truck had a massive hesitation while cold. It took me a minute to stop laughing...

    2020 EcoDiesel sneak peak from TFLT

    Like we used to say "whatever lets you sleep at night" you should drive what you have confidence in. My 14 did not like the mountains going to Montana from Oklahoma and after the AEM I had doubts it could pull the RV at all, it had difficulty pulling the uphill start assist. I had 104K miles on...

    2020 EcoDiesel sneak peak from TFLT

    Sounds just like my 14. Now the official specs state changes to be new pistons, for combustion chamber changes, fuel injectors, EGR low and high pressure, block girdle. The block has always been compacted graphite. From the view of the engine compartment the coolant system has been redesigned...

    What's the best Engine Tune

    The best tuner depends on you and your needs and where your live. Three good tunes, Banks, GDE, SofaTune King. GDE and Sofa Tune King turns off the EGR, Banks does not, but does carry a CARB approval number, they all provide the same results. No turbo lag, 20Hp, 45 ft. lbs. of torque over...

    Any EGR Delete Tips or Tricks?

    As long as your program shuts off the egr then you will not get the multiple error codes and Limp Home Mode. The EGR is actually the cause of many of the eco issues. Of course you are aware of warranty issues, modifications of Federally mandated exhaust emission systems, etc. etc. Banks tune...

    Loss of acceleration and fuel mileage and over all pulling power

    John has been here awhile. I have had few real problems with my eco as well, drive it like I should, try to take care of it like I should. Hated the AEM performance, my wife's Jeep eco didn't run as bad as my truck, but did run different. Yes I tuned my truck and my wife's Jeep, with FCA money...

    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    Dealer makes all the difference in the world. There is no excuse for the normal warranty items, engine, now they only have so much to work with. My 14 ran great until the oil change program, but it still ran a lot better than the AEM. At 102K got a "tune" and my old truck plus is back. It is sad...

    2014 heating issue

    Tune. Tune. Tune. Some people remove shutters, if they are on your truck. My recent trip to Montana saw Boseman Pass at 35K rpms, 3rd gear, flat on the floor, down power rated temps, pull over at top of grade, with every other tow vehicle to let cool down. Did I mention Tune? Some people install...
