I joined your Club today... :( didn't shoot it but I hurt it

I can't believe I just did this. Backing up to get into a drive through at the bank, old telephone pole I completely didn't see. And well F*** Almost hit the pole dead on with the hitch which would've taken the entire hit. But no just to the side.

Exactly how I felt finding it. But I'd rather see a small torquey diesel in an offroad styled truck which is why the Colorado zr concept actually appealed to me. Unfortunately that's still not a reality either

Right

Due to an obviously smaller Turbo and engine yes it's less effective. But it does help and is there

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzGOOyguKqqEbC1YaG1IVjg2b0k/view?pli=1 Everyone needs to reference this page to understand the mechanical limitations of the Turbo and the GDE tune dynamics. The hardware section features Turbo size limitations

But that's because GDE actually took the time to understand mechanical limitations of the motor for power. The Turbo is too small for significant gains. Hence why their focus is clean economical and well sounded with slight power and mileage gains vs advertising huge power gains they cannot deliver.

The reference about too much fuel and not being burned off until reaching the exhaust is more so in reference to piggyback tunes like banks where they are only increasing fuel rail pressures to provide excess fuel and in turn power. That's when there is secondary combustion after the cylinder...

That's because diesel Burns hotter and longer than gasoline. The Ecodiesel is a higher temperature and totally different dynamic engine than the Ecoboost. Hence why your kids never see those temps.

You're right it's a good read. Hope others see this!

This is like the small hometown ecodiesel forum. Small tight knit community that tries not to get caught up on the big city drama and actually help one another out with advice support troubleshooting or upgrades. Boost is very involved as administrator and it's a pleasure to be here over the big...

Welcome! A fellow Minnesotan

When I do my heavy driving a have to fuel up throughout the day, but when I stay home I go weeks without seeing the gas station. I like that a lot. It's no Prius but it does a damn fine job for a full size truck. I remember the day I got it driving home tandem with a 06 Chev that had a 16'...

It's your exhaust system that's seeing those temps though which I'm sure the filter is most likely a ceramic like a catalytic converter would be and stainless steel. Ceramic or whatever the compound filter inside is likely what holds so much heat. I'm honestly not worried about it at all but...

I ordered mine March of this year. Delivery was early may. I think it was about 6 weeks to delivery. Worth every waking hour to get MY truck though

I think the 8 speed is kind of a OD1 and OD2. Speeds to actually hit 8th with tow/haul mode aren't even safe. 80MPH zones and it won't hold. But it does it's job to hold gears and run higher rpms. And if you have factory air it stops the truck from using Aero mode on the highway. As does...

I've got no Service in northern MN it works once in a great while and takes about 6-7 minutes to actually receive the start command. And actually mine is buggy the complete opposite way. I cannot get mine to work on wifi at all but if I turn it off it goes through on mobile data. Pending the...

I got 33 or so driving 6 hours home from the dealer brand new.that's the best average I've seen. Then again I've never reset my evic. Always been happy with the number. ;) Shell did a hypermile road test and nailed 38mpg hand calculated. Factory tune. Persons and cargo. Only a tonneau cover...
