Kinda new here, but

[FC1]

Just bought a 2022 overland gladiator eco diesel. I read a lot of post on here. So, here goes.
Is anyone on here running a mrtune stage 2 with exhaust upgrades.
Could you tell about it.
I have a ram 1500 2015 with green diesel of road tune from way back. It has held up great. They no longer support it.
Looking for other’s thoughts
Thanks in advance

I am running a MR tune thru EOC deleted with SS exhaust.

Is that the stage 2

 

[VA6489]

Correct Stage two. My rig is fully deleted.

The initial install included replacing the ECU, then dropping the exhaust caping the plugs and installing the new exhaust. I run the resonator in place of the full muffler. Great sound no drone.

What kinda improvment have you seen MPG, Power anything else?
Would you do it again?

On my 2015 Ram 1500. It made a world of difference. I average 27 to 28 miles per gallon. A lot more torque. Yes, on that truck I would do it again.
I’m wondering also on my jeep

Really wish others would chime in here. The delete in my truck was from green diesel. They don’t support it anymore.
Would really like to know what the new 3 gens have going for them

@FC1, I think the title of your thread "Kinda new here, but" is not helping your cause. Maybe have the mods rename it to more of the information / feedback you're seeking.

Welcome to the forum, and the world of diesel Jeeps.

I have a '23 EcoDiesel with EOC Stage 1 with DEF turned off and the tow tune. I really like it. I have a second ecu so I can still go to the steelership if needed until I get some more miles on it. Then I will do the stage 2 full deletes. I am still deciding if I want to do their shift on the fly or street tune for a bit more power. The disadvantage of SOTF is I would loose the ability to turn the fan on high with the Tazer but I think that I have a work around for that. Everyone I have talked to does not regret the stage 2 though.

So they can do the soft for 3rd generation??

Improvements:
1) No more DEF......
2) Better throttle response
3) Seat of the pants More torque
4) I run 120 miles a day commuting to DC average fuel mileage is 25. Previous 22. Running 3.5 Clayton lift and BFG 39 KM3s.
5) Do it again? I have deleted ever truck I have ever had. Getting rid of the EGR is the best thing you can do for longevity. No more soot in the intake. The EPA took a Gasoline concept and applied it to the diesel engine without any real thought. Unburned Gas can be recirculated and re burned Unburn or partial burn diesel is Soot or Carbon dust. Why in the love of God would you mandate putting carbon soot back into the combustion chamber???? Proof, 05 Ford 6.0 motor lasted 300K miles before selling, 08 F450 6.4 motor with mods making 600HP and 1400 torques still going strong at 425K miles, Cummins 6.7 delete when bought, clean intake and still running strong at 300K miles..... SO YES I would do it again and again.
6) Engine temps run cooler without the REGEN process
7) EoC (MR Tuning) tow tune at full throttle pumps a haze of gray out the tail pipe, no more so than a tuned Mustang on Race gas.

Not sure if you got all the information you wanted about stage 2 but if you still have questions, I'm happy to answer about anything except towing. My JTRD is on EOC stage 2 which I understand is written by MR Tuning. I also have their transmission tune and full SS exhaust with muffler. I will be towing soon but I've only been tuned a few weeks and so far, I have not.

I'm certainly not trying to start an argument and am glad you are getting 25mpg lifted on 39s. I've read several posts about lifted ecodiesels with 37s or larger getting 25 plus. What I'm trying to figure out is how. I don't remember seeing many details but my best guess is a combination of lower speed, less wind, and flatter highways.

I admit that my normal driving style isn't geared toward getting excellent mileage. I use adaptive cruise control a lot and when it's off, my right foot is heavier than it has to be. I speed but not too much. My cruise is generally set 2 or 3 mph over the limit. Here in Oklahoma the speed limit on most two lane highways is 65. Interstates and turnpikes are mostly 70 to 80 depending on where you are. It is almost always windy and there are a lot of hills. Today I drove 204 miles to Sherman Texas and back. I didn't use cruise, kept my foot out of it and aimed for the best fuel efficiency. By the time I got home my overall average was 26.6. I'm not lifted but I am on 35x11.5 Wildpeak AT4Ws. Had I thought about it, I'd have seperated my driving both directions but I didn't. I did keep track of overall time, distance, mpg, and wind speed both directions. Plugging the numbers in to Chatgpt, gave me quite a bit of info. Distance and mileage are both coming from my dash display but it has always been very close to hand calculations.

The wind was averaging 12 mph out of the south this morning and I was driving almost straight into it going to Sherman. By the time I started home, it was still out of the south but picked up to 16. I averaged 24.4 mpg going and by when I got home, was up to 26.6. GPT tells me the math says I averaged 29.2 coming home with a tail wind to end up at 26.6 mpg. My overall speed averaged 68.8 mph.

I then told Chatgpt that my last set of wheels and 37" tires weighed 18 pounds more each than the current setup. Adding the extra weight and a 3.5" lift, it estimated today's trip would have averaged 22.8 mpg. Too many variables to be exact but I'm guessing that is fairly close.

I wonder too on how some of these people are getting high mpg.
