Bought Me A New Work Horse

Emissions and long life shouldn't be used in the same sentence in regards to diesel trucks. Not sure about Dodge, but Ford has a Diesel particle filter on the truck, but the truck has to burn hotter (Regen process) to burn off the soot in the exhaust system. How do you burn hotter? Tons of fuel which after many years will affect the rings in the motor and wash the cylinders out.

I agree. The big three all have their game faces on with the HD/SD truck markets. Pick your poison and brand then run them. Yes the new ones have emissions stuff but maintain them and don't idle the truck all day long w/o getting exhaust temps up and you will see a very long and useful life out of them.

Or pull the damned cat and tune it for 800+ ft/lbs of torque.

370 hp 800# torque stock.

But yes, If I happen to keep it long enough to get outside of the warranty it will get deleted and tuned. No coal rolling though, that is one of the dumbest things ever....

Yeah... That's ridiculous if you consider the DEF solution too.

Ford has tuning solutions that don't void warranty. Does Dodge have the same?

 

[squeak93]

I honestly do not know much about the aftermarket offerings for any diesel platforms. I'm not one to jack with warranties as my luck always shows what can go wrong, will go wrong.

Ford does? That's news to me.

They do. Check with the dealer.

They do. Check with the dealer.

Some dealers offer warranties if they install the tuner/ delete. However, Ford does not. I've been researching for the past month for tuners and deletes.

That may be but you should check anyway. The dude that I talked to referred to it as a Ford item with a Ford warranty.

Ford has the procal they tune mustangs/etc with. Maybe they have a diesel option?

I'll be looking into this for sure. I believe the mustangs have slightly about average tunes.

The only real advantage to tuning a diesel would be to get rid of the DPF/DEF system. Because 800ftlbs of torque is more than enough.

I had a 2012 GT with a procal (Auto car) and it ran consistent 12.67@112's. Considerably better than almost any of the manual/tuned cars around here. It actually woke the car up. Only part I didn't like was paying 1 hour of shop labor in order to retain the FRPP warranty.

No doubt it woke it up. An hour of labor is cheap insurance to be honest.

Ran consistent 13.10's@108-109 before the procal. No other tunes. Most boring 12.67 pass ever. WOT throttle on the second yellow and two fingers no the wheel. No wheel spin, no craziness. Just tracked straight and did work (for a mid 12 sec car that is).

@squeak93 I had to do it! I like it
