good news is you can monitor the EGTs on the monitor yourself and if they are high you can back off the power or power setting.Is there any truth to the rumor that these spike EGTs above the safe zone while towing?
Even for the tuner on my old 5.9 Cummins says not to tow in the performance setting. It has a light and heavy tow modes for that.
Now for those that have these new Banks or any other tuners that might be out there, any evidence of black exhaust or rolling coal as it's called.
Installed the Pedal Monster and Derringer/Data Monster today. Absolutely love the power increase and responsiveness. Pedal Monster alone would‘ve been very worth the while. Together the 2 mods are nasty though. I did however take matters into my own hands with that gawd awful suction cup gauge mount...
I hacked up the pod and bolted it straight to the A pillar trim with a 10mm bolt.
Waay less intrusive to me.
I should’ve been more proactive documenting the process but it’s really simple.Awesome! Can you provide more pictures or details on the install?
I haven't noticed any fuel gain but it's hard to keep your foot out of the throttleSo there is power gains. What about fuel mileage gains? Any testing yet in real world?

I drilled a hole to pass a 10mm bolt thru the side of the gauge pod and held it up to the a pillar about where I thought it should sit. Then used a silver marker to mark a spot on the a pillar thru the drilled hole in the pod onto the a pillar trim piece. The trim piece was unbolted and pulled loose and I drilled a hole for the 10mm bolt in it as well. A unibit was then used to make a 3/4” hole in the back of the pod to pass the wires coming from the Derringer and the OBD port directly thru the back of the pod. I felt the wires coming up thru the A pillar trim piece were concealed better this way. Bolt the pod without the gauge in it to the trim piece then replace the trim on the A pillar. Let the trim piece hang loose kind of halfway in position and keep enough slack in your wires so that you can run them up thru the hole in the back of the pod mount out the front of it and plug them into your gauge, then push the gauge into position into the pod mount. Make sure when bolting the trim back in place that your wiring that is going to run behind it is not directly behind the bolt holes in the trim piece or they could get crushed. Ask me how I know..?
