Desktop vs. laptop shouldn't matter at all, and yes you can bring it inside - and it's definitely easier that way. However, I wasn't able to get the software/flash utility to work with Windows 11. So you probably will need to use a computer that runs Windows 10, at the latest (Windows 7 or 8...
I emailed them in mid-September asking if about their lower temp thermostat would work for a Gen III EcoDiesel, and if my tune would work with a lower temp T-Stat. They replied saying they were working on testing the thermostat on Gen 3 and rolling out a new tune for it, which as of the email...
I get it, but have you tried truck stops? I just stop at a truck stop and top off with DEF whenever it gets down to around 1/4 tank, which is ending up costing $15-20 every 4500 miles or so. Cheaper, easier, cleaner, faster and less fiddly than messing with retail boxes. Seems every truck stop...
Well, that's good information to have, thank you. I'm definitely following their instructions, so either as you say, they didn't flash my ECU correctly, or there's some other modification to my truck that's interfering with this feature's engagement. Good timing to receive this comment from...
You'd need new nuts - the factory units are metric. I found that you can get an adjustable wrench up in there without much trouble, so you probably don't need to find anything with a tab like the factory ones - though you'll probably want to test that with whatever tools you take with you to be...
When you buy the GDE Tune, there's an option for engine braking that can be added to your tune at an extra fee. Their description for the feature is: "Closes vanes on turbo to increase pumping loses to help slow down. Manually downshift to have rpm above 2500 and foot off accel pedal to...
Maybe you didn't click that one, but he says exactly that in the last video I posted. This was 2022 though, and it looks like he brought a Ford in '23, didn't compete in '24, and brought a Porsche this year.
Wonder what ended up happening with his EcoDiesel LMP project.
This is a few years old, but I found it interesting what can be done with our EcoDiesel, and it looks like this story has never been posted to this forum: Scott Birdsall's 690hp / 1000+lbf. Pikes Peak Car.
Story...
Yeah, the rings on the Nomads are simply protection to prevent against trail damage... Orr in my case, to cover up trail damage because I didn't put them on when I should've.
Going in to derate and having reduced power on the road unexpectedly in an incredibly dangerous situation. Monitoring gauges allows a driver to prevent spiking temperatures or be prepared for issues which leads to safer driving and prevents a vehicle from traveling very slowly on the roadway...
Hottest I ever got mine was the oil temp at 253 and coolant in the low 230s... Both bars were still planted in exactly the same position as in your photos and I was experiencing a derate at the time and the the truck was pulling a grade with the gusto of a VW microbus. Clearly it's not an...
During a recent trip, I was monitoring temperatures while driving up some long highway grades using the "offroad pages" and noticed that the "needle" or bar portion of the Coolant and Oil Temperature gauges was stationary even when the temperatures were wildly fluctuating. I saw an oil temp...
Teraflex Nomad. My favorite wheel I've ever owned on any vehicle, ever. I can go from my driver's seat with all 4 of my 37" tires at ~32psi, to out of the truck, to back in with all four tires now down to 17psi inside 60 seconds with their cool built-in airdown valve. And with the knurling on...
So, I'd seen conflicting estimates on the weights of the factory rock rails / Rubi Rails, so I figured I'd just make the following post for the record for anyone that wants to find this information in the future.
I've been doing what I can to keep the weight of my build down wherever...
I did a big trip through Colorado last month, and ended up consistently getting derates while pulling the grades and trying to drive fast. Once I realized what was going on and started keeping my foot out of it, it was manageable, but I like going fast dammit!
Decided to do some shopping today...
Resurrecting a very dead thread to ask a couple questions regarding experiences with this now that presumably, many of us have been using this feature for a while. For background, I have had the Tazer since getting my truck in '23, but I haven't tried this feature out yet since I haven't been on...
