As the title says, GDE is back and making an emissions compliant (EPA approved) tune! This is only for the 2nd gen engines, but GDE is also working on the 3rd gen engines! Here's what he said about his new tune!
"We expect an EPA certified 49-state tune to be ready 4 weeks after Michigan goes back to work. This will be for the engine and transmission tuning. Past customers can get this tune update, but there are some caveats.
1. New engine tune will be installed via the same OBD flash tool we use on the transmission. This is a $200 piece of hardware.
2. Vehicle must have latest dealer warranty update in the stock ecm. The flash tool will not work over an existing tuned ecm.
3. The reflash fee is still $50 for existing customers.
CARB is a slower process than EPA, so the CA solution might not be available until late summer.
The engine and trans tune still perform as before 30hp, 65ftlb torque, less turbo lag, cleaner engine oil, reduced frequency of DPF regens, and 2-4 mpg improvement over FCA AEM and V07/V08 updates. The combustion is tailored to reduce soot formation in cylinder. This means the egr that is used has much less soot in it and the intake stays much cleaner. Also, FCA has a calibration issue that we think leads to the melted intakes, this issue is eliminated with the emission compliant tune we will have out soon."
