IMO

It surprises me how many of you want to tune or what ever to get more power, speed out of your truck. I run them stock and have great longevity.

If you wanted to go fast or have more power, buy a muscle car, that's what it's for.

Just say-in.

I have the fass 95 which is good to 600 hp, and my ppei tune on the 120. i don't know where ya'll live but in my 6 years at a dealership i never saw one injector pump failure warranty or COD. i did however see many emissions related failures which is why my truck no longer utilizes any of it.

The problems tend to be blown out of proportion especially with the CP4.. Imo

I'm not saying there are not problems but I know handfuls of LMLs with high miles stock and modded with no issues

I'm not modifying anything engine related until after warranty. Too big of a risk, IMO, to take a chance at having the warranty voided if I were to have an issue.

Back in the late eighties and nighties the diesels pulled ok but the empty drivability was a drag. We did the mods, banks gear venders etc. They were easy to mod and cheap to rebuild and reliable. The new diesels are powerful and fast stock, if I was still in the need for one I would just buy the extended warranty and trade in when it was expired. They are way too expensive to take the chance on theses days. I realize the draw for the HP and TQ you can get out of them today is intoxicating, the cost for replacement is too high. Messing with emissions in some states is pretty high.

If I was doing anything to a newer diesel, would primarily be shutting down EGR. I could care less about the downstream stuff. Watching over the years the effect of having a diesel eat its own feces, and that is my primary concern. And diesels require EGR coolers, just one more thing to go wrong. A tune that would just shut down EGR would do it for me. No EGR, no EGR failure. Not sure a dealer could even tell. That is what I did to a 2006 Jeep Liberty diesel. Just tuned out the EGR. Far less soot generation, cleaner oil, and about 3-4 mpg gain. Simple $400 tune without turning a wrench.

 

Some heavy diesels it was simple. Some of them had coding that if operated above a certain elevation, the ECM would shut down EGR. Just convince the ECM that one is operating at a high elevation all the time and the EGR would never open. That was on the Detroit 60 14L. Too bad they all aren't easy work arounds like that.

That's the problem, do you delete and risk having no warranty IF the fuel system goes or do you risk it and delete and never look back.

 

 

Myself I cannot stand the emission issues and would delete the minute the truck for home, I would spend the money for a stroker CP3 conversion though while I was at it.

Nobody is publicly saying what is happening with the next duramax.

 

So far all we have is rumors and speculation. (wife's uncles cousin that works at ...)

I've got about 4000 miles on my dmax right now. As soon as I hit 10000 or so I'm going to delete mine. Just want to make sure the bugs are worked out first

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
