GDE HOT TUNE ECM

scott554 · Dec 31, 2019

Does anyone know if it is possible yet to re-program ECM from GDE? I received mine from GDE before EPA closure and just traded my vehicle in due to EGR leak and not being able to leave truck at dealer for unk time. I pulled the GDE tuned ECM and put stock back in before trading so just checking to see if anyone else could purchase and use or just shit can the ECM.

I'm interested. Can you give me some details about the ECM tune. What year vehicle, what rear axle ratio, Etc.

I've never tried it on the Ecodiesel, it is possible to change the VIN, I'm sure you can reflash to New AEM with WITech so keep it and sell.

How much are you asking? GDE will charge $150 to put my VIN.

TC Diesel · Jan 1, 2020

I don't see how GDE can place your VIN in that Module "and keep the Hot Tune" have you checked with them lately?

I'm pretty sure they aren't flashing anything right now..

Green Diesel is still open, however we are only selling in 194 countries out of 195. No more sales in the US due to EPA incursions.

When You ignore the warnings ,expect more " incursions "
Its best to find ways to stop the Incursions.

Thinking that You can survive "EPA incursions" = Financial Suicide.

Many have paid the "incursion money in the $10,000s including Me.

GDE is in the process of certifying the Ram application with CARB now. We should have an EO within a few months. We will be the first and only certified aftermarket engine and transmission ecm tunes on this application.

BANKS Power Derringer for eco? Their website gives a CARB OE for engine tune. Although no Transmission tune from them. Or was I seeing something different?

This is great...

Theirs's some road blocks ahead NVFEL is very difficult, the process, and info CDX is time consuming.

Best of Luck.....

That is fantastic news, nothing like ingenuity. Hopefully you can continue your work and provide great tunes for diesel vehicles. Super happy with mine.

Banks does not do tuning, his is a plug in box to the fuel pressure and a couple other sensors. It is strictly for more performance and they have the electronics set up so the power added occurs only at heavy throttle. In this manner, it is not doing anything in normal driving.

Ram ecodiesel is certified LEV2, BIN5. We will run the FTP75, HWFEC, US06 and SC03 test cycles at a certified lab stock and then tuned. The cert process is expensive and quite some paper pushing. When we worked for the Big 3 in past lives, we certified a few applications, so this is not new for us. Each application could cost $150,000 for certification. We used to tune about 10 applications prior to EPA, no way to afford certifying all of them. Our goal is to pick two applications for cert testing, the Ram and the GM Colorado.

Forgive my ignorance but, are the days of delete tuning long gone? Will GDE be offering strictly emissions compliant tuning from here on out?

Actually that is exactly what I thought they were doing, but they are CARB approved and I was hoping the discussion would lead to a better explanation of the difference between the two. I was also hoping that you may decide to go through the hoops to get approved, although I realize that some aspects of your tune will be modified in the end. Good luck.

We ran into exactly the same theory when we attempted to get into the CNG conversion, we do CNG repair at this time, and found that due to expense the manufacturers would specialize in just a couple of years or one manufacturer to build certified kits. Good Luck and I love your tune in my truck and my wife's JEEP
