Unhappy with Performance after Emissions Recall Update

[Ram For Life]

Let me know how it goes.

I am saving up right now to get a GDE ecm tune as well as a trans tune from them. I will let you know how it goes once I get it.
.Thanks Ram for the money.

Looking at performance chips for my truck. Anyone use these? Was told if I remove it before service it wont affect the warranty

 

[carlhenry]

I do not think there r chips for the eco diesel they will program the existing chip

 

[carlhenry]

Gde will program. Your computer or buy a exchange one .

What are your views on the debate of GDE tune vs Soft King tune.

Just finished e-mailing with Sofa King seems like a very knowledgeable and friendly outfit. Paid for the Sofa King Tune this time with confidence, I guess there was a problem with the web site but works fine now. I'm going to receive the items tomorrow (Saturday) to download my trucks numbers engine and transmission, I'll tell you right now I'm no computer expert, so if I can do it anyone can. Sofa King told me I'll have my new numbers within 24hrs, hopefully everything goes well. I'll keep everyone informed as to how hard the installation was and how well my Eco Ram runs now

24 hours during the week

Sofa King Tuned vs GED? We can OBD2 tune and they cannot. With us, free transmission flash updates, ECU is truly $50. It's $100 with them after shipping.. Plus you're not able to drive your vehicle without an ECU (them).
SFT.....no waiting, SEND IT!

How long has Sofa King been in business. How much is your ecm tune and trans flash. Do you send something that allows me to use my OBD2 to flash the ecm.

I'm sure both tunes are fine. GDE can OBD2 tune but chooses not to for several reasons. GDE also offers an ECU exchange so no down time.

GDE has better street performance, better fuel economy, more linear response, cleaner engine oil and less turbo lag vs. any competition. The delivery mechanism (Bench flash vs. OBD) is minor. The fuel economy improvement with GDE pays for the tune in about 40,000 miles.

my experience was great. Fuel economy, clean oil, smooth operation and trouble free ownership.

I had the AME tune recall done like a lot of people on this forum, the truck drives Horribly. This also changed the transmission shift pattern, the trans now only shift out of each gear around 2500 rpms. I was wondering if got only get the ECM tune will it change the trans shift pattern to pre AME tune or will I have to get the trans tune as well. Any HELP will be greatly appreciated.

The AEM flashes both the ECM & TCM so I would suspect you would need the trans tune too.

I have to disagree!
1 - I've tried both and find none of the points in the above declaring better, more, cleaner, less or vs are
exclusive to GDE. After trying both I can positively make the same statements about SFT.
2 - I have found SFT to be as advertised and have experienced 100% better customer support than GDE.
3 - IMHO their product, pricing and customer service make SFT the better choice.
I'm not badmouthing GDE as they have a great and proven tune. I'm just saying that Green Diesel remarks are not accurate.

Seriously? With all due respect I have to call this a case of no GDE in California blues. You can't possibly backup your statement "I'm just saying that Green Diesel remarks are not accurate." with seat of the pants experience.

Yep! You called it right. If GDE could still sell/support in Califunny I would still be a GDE customer.
It may have been a blessing as it forced me to look elsewhere and find a great alternative.
