Gde tune

The engine braking feature is a useful add-on for customers that tow often or folks that drive down mountain grades. The feature is active when the following conditions are met: in gears , engine rpm above rpm, and foot off the accel pedal. While the engine braking is active the turbo vanes are closed more to create higher back pressure in the exhaust manifold. This makes it harder to push exhaust out and that force acts on the pistons to help slow the vehicle down. This helps to reduce the need for vehicle brakes and reduces wear on the brake hardware. The feature not active in normal driving conditions. This is a very useful feature for vehicles doing a lot of short trips to drive a bit longer when the regen needs to happen to prevent DPF plugging issues in the field. It is also a cool message to see and better understand what the vehicle is doing. After a successful RACE mode engagement, the function is blocked for 45 seconds. This allows all the shift elements to cool down from the prior use. Eliminates downshift hesitation at low speed tip-in maneuvers i. The tune combo has provisions to allow our 88 C thermostat to be added separately. This thermostat starts opening at 88 C F and fully open at 98 C F. This will drop warm operating temps for coolant and engine oil about 10 C 18 F.

Pretty sure the gas mileage will improve even more if I can make myself drive it slower, gde tune. Status Not open for further replies.

In most cases, a large performance gain can be realized from just a calibration alone without the need to spend endless dollars on additional components. Green Diesel Tuning Products. Vehicle Tuning Transmission Tune 2. Tools 1.

Engine Braking Option No, thanks Yes, please. The lag to accelerate is gone, the transmission shifts quicker and I have noticed a 2 to 4 degree reduction in transmission temps. Purchased in with 44K miles on it. I drive a lot for my business and spend a lot of time staring through the windshield from Western New York and Western PA through Eastern Ohio - so a fair about of hilly miles. Thanks GDE! With a cleaner burning engine there are fewer deposits created. I sunk some money but we'll worth it if this truck lasts me longer. JavaScript is disabled. After a successful RACE mode engagement, the function is blocked for 45 seconds. Closest have ever been to advertised economy numbers Throttle lag is gone, my truck is safe again. We do not exceed the EGT or cylinder pressure limits with our tunes and no one has experienced longevity issues. Search titles only. Well I can't personally attest to whether or not it makes the engine last longer or vice versa but according to Keith at GDE, ref: post 3 above reposted by Aqua Puttana, it does indeed prolong engine life.

We focus on utilizing engineering principles when designing engine and transmission calibrations. Testing and measuring the critical parameters on the powertrain are essential to meeting safety and design limits.

Stock I think the engine is a solid powertrain but with GDE's tune it takes it to another level. BTW, my GDE tuned Ram's tailpipes are still shiny after , miles, guess the old "non approved" tune wasn't so dirty. J-Cooz said:. GET IT. I beg to differ on one caveat! Lots of knowledge on this forum. Exhaust smells the same and no smoke at all. Stephen Marone verified owner — Jul The downshift can be a little firm sometimes but I don't really notice it. Even if it was 2 mpg's lower I'm thrilled. You are using an out of date browser.
