No he had a flash done. A tuner can be two different things. On is a physical device that is in the truck that is hooked to the port to change the tune on the vehicle. The other is a person that goes in with a computer and flashes the ECM. In that case we all have "Tuners".

Looking at the different tuners... Funny almost all plug into the obd plug and once downloaded they are removed... The exact same way the dealer does a flash. Anyway one wants to twist it ,it is the same thing and the results are the same, adding additional stress over and above what the manufacturer intended to the whole power train but over load weight wise and it becomes a crime.

You might want to click my links and see just what GDE is doing and how they do it! The performance tunes you are thinking of add large amounts of HP and TQ that can and will end up damaging the vehicle. This is not what GDE is about, however they can and will do custom tunes for their customers.

What I had done is yes a "tune" but not a performance tune. If it will make some of you feel better then yep I have a TUNE! OMG I feel free at last...free at last!!!!! :B

When I was up there they had a new baby Dmax that they tuned and where doing testing on. Yes they buy there own vehicles and do extensive testing on them BEFORE they release them to the public. They also have flash up dates when needed. My truck can go in to have a flash to help with turbo lag, an update Ram has out right now. The next time I'm up their way I will have it done. Again this is an update that ram Trucks does right now.

Feel all warm and fuzzy now fishboy?

NOTE the GDE "tune", "Flash" or whatever you would like to call it adds a whopping 248hp @ 3300-3600rpm 3 over the stock tune of 240hp @ 3600rpm 1,2 and ( > 230hp @ 2900-4100rpm 3) over the stock 220hp @ 3600rpm 3. This is not going to harm a **** thing! I'm running the "Eco Tune" not the Hot tune.

Dude go fishing and pull your head out of your #$$ pal! note no winks here. Your a clown and will always be a clown grow the hell up aready little boy!

In my personal opinion. Every one of the big three's HD diesels need a tuner or throttle calibration to me because I wasn't completely happy with any of them on test drives. The pre-2015 6.7L PSD did feel peppier off the than the Cummins did due to the throttle mapping and quicker spooling turbos. However, those very same turbos hurt the PSD in other areas like exhaust breaking which is something I use all the time.

Although just adding a plug in play BD throttle booster without a tuner made the Cummins feel just as spirited off the line and in normal driving. Add a tune or module, and there is no comparison. Mine is not tuned and instead has a module that plugs into the engine harness. It doesn't even touch the ECM. Not that it matters though. The odds of a Cummins failing in the 100k mile warranty period is slim to none.

I believe he has a 1500 Eco Diesel
