UGA40, You will need to log your own data. It would next to impossible for some to habitually Drive the same as You. That being said this engine cannot be equal to the new Technology coming, In HEAD EGR (No external EGR..2020+ have two external EGRs) NO DPF, NO VGT Turbo. DSL's of the future...
No, the 2014-16 Engine is NO longer in production, The Block and Heads, Fuel system are the same the majority of other parts are not, all of the electronics are difference.
I'm out, good luck with whatever you decide.
The emission intact Tunes use the EGR, I don't see How GDE could defeat this device (AECD) and pass certification, New technology removes the EGR Device entirely, The 3.0VM obviously cannot , because in 2020+VM has 2 ERG's on the truck. FPT has EGR less Engines so Fiat Has the technology. Now...
I tip My hat to You WeGo. Heck you can trade it in on another 3.0VM, If thats what you want (Not recommending that but some deals are worth the Risk) I checked some Dealerships Offer $100.00/250.00 DED on lifetime powertrain warranty for $250/500.
Heck, you can stack pressure Box's with Tunes. My guess it would play nice with GDE tunes, Plus the added power , If You Do YOU had better upgraded your foot, stacking can lead to trouble on Turbo/Trans.
C'mon Shadow I agree with you on the surface, Now look at it this way, All CC transactions have buyer protection, regardless of the seller policy UNLESS the buyers agrees to wavier of card Holders Rights, WE TC DSL, Do NOT sell race Parts without the buyer agreeing to those terms, its unlikely...
WeGo, Its never easy reversing a decision you made, But Wisdom Dictates when its Time to cut Ties if you do that the losses can be measured , if you don't the risked is increased and so are the losses.
I obviously don't have the details on your purchase, I only ask for you to consider your...
Its simply adds Rail Pressure/Duration, So it changes the timing slightly Yes (EVIC) MPG will be Guessing more then it already is. You will notice the difference or its Not working, Yes, it will help on Lag because its a fueling/Pressure adder. For $200.00 and it works that's a fair price.
I...
Its a pressure Box the same as Banks Bullet/Derringers. Its the safest way to add Power/Timing, and in most cases the lowest cost. The Pressure box goes all the way back to the Edge EZ 2003.
If you decide to keep I will try and help, I'm not a 3.0VM expert like other power plants, I just know My way around the engine.
You may not like what you see in those heads , the 3.0VM likes to warp the Valves, If that engine pulsates when cold under light Throttle its going the be New heads...
It bests to remove the cab. It can be done in Chassis, I suggest to lift the vehicle, remove the tires, put three nuts per rotor tighten down, lower the vehicle to ground, placing 1 8X6" OSB 1/2 to 7/16 thick and follow the manual on removal, It sucks because everything needs to be...
I shut My DSL off, regularly , they simply do Not need to Idle, Now that being said if it for some reason too thats OK, Like warm Up, Cool down or for the A/C-Heater ,ETC. I see people leaving their DSL running at the Pumps , I Just shrug it off. I need to leave My DSL's run at the pump for...
