You could do that I suppose but that is not the problem. Not is emissions, how you drive , the oil you use or how meticulous you are. It has to do with linebore sloppiness, torsional flexing of the crank, skinny bearings and if your truck was built on a Tuesday.
it would sure be nice if FCA...
I’m not sure but it’s supposed to be seamless I thought, with a cel or a warning. The idea was to keep you on the road.
Regardless be careful with the updates. They will throw on pedal lag and lost power with poor gas mileage. Part of the ram settlement to make the emission police happy. If...
John is right. That is the best advice you will get. To elaborate a bit further, the tone wheel failure had a bandaid fix called W58 that he mentions. It shifts the crankshaft position sensor to the cam sensor in the event of a failure. You need to pull the tranny to get to it.
It’s pretty basic. You remove the stock exhaust back to the muffler. Replace it with a straight pipe to muffler. Order on eBay or ecodiesel USA
then install your tune. The tune shuts off all DPF and DEF functions.
Hey don’t get discouraged! HD diesel in Canada has the full tune, stage 1(egr) and stage 2(exhaust) deletes, complete with blanking kit for egr and exhaust kit. The HD diesel tune is the “same” as The highly touted GDE tune. They will ship anywhere but yep, you guessed it. CA. It was actually...
Well that’s good news. Yes your exhaust is going to smell like a real truck. It will perform like it too!
if your pipe is cracked and it does happen, you will start noticing black on the silver insulation around on the firewall behind the turbo. I smell my exhaust every time I drive. I love it...
I don’t know how you would pass emissions with a full delete, some say they pass anyways! I can’t roll coal or make smoke.
to answer your question,
In 2020, Washington state removed all inspections because the goal for pollution had been reached. To sell this bill to the public, their own...
I respectfully disagree with part about about the EPA not being the problem. It’s at least 80% of the problem as with the emissions equipment. If you take all emission related problems away, you are left with a relatively rare but mysterious bottom end problem where this engine eats mains. FCA...
Good synopsis. K
I think you answered your own question. I deleted fully because I don’t want the egr ruining the engine, I didn’t want to waste fuel regening and it runs better.
Solving the emissions moral dilemma was easy, For me it came down to a 5 mpg improvement. The extra emissions...
I see that. I like that idea. It seems each company has good points but it’s missing something. HD seems to be the only complete package. I can tell if there is a downfall to buying a engine tune here, a tranny there and the delete packages elsewhere. It’s perplexing trying to put it together...
Great info. I have a year left on the warranty, I’m at 28,000 miles, no it’s a 17 so supposedly the cooler problem is fixed. No state emissions where I’m at. I can sell it privately not trade it in. That’s my thought process on removal of emissions. Sound solid?
Hi all,
I have a 2017 ecodiesel and am looking at a tune with a full delete. what I want is the engine and tranny tune in one shot with the EGR SCR and DEF deletes. I'm taking it all out. Why would anyone leave it in? after reading all the comments, It looks like HD is the way to go for me.
The...
