We have seen 3rd gear lockups cause input shaft issues which is why our standard tuning uses a 4th gear instead of 3rd. Some people choose to risk it but if you're worried I'd go with a 4th gear lockup tune.

But Carbed motors smell soooo good! 😍. For me it's the equivalent to the nostalgia of 2 stroke bikes !🤤

@Dj.Ray.Von. This guy gets it! I love the smell of both! My daily driver is an 80 Chevy. It definitely has a unique gas/oil smell. 😎

We can ship all tunes and tuners to the states no problem!

SCT X4 Scanner/Tuner

You can buy it on our website: DirtyDieselcustoms.com Cheers

That's exactly what most people do. This red truck ran the stock transmission for a few years but eventually it started to slip, so he got new clutches, input shafts and other upgrades and the truck has been able to make over 750rwhp since this video! Cheers

If you have the upgraded CP4 you are more protected from the failures, but it can still happen, so if you want to be extra safe we'd just go with the Exenergy system saver for peace of mind.

Standard transmission tuning would be good for you, it'll give you better shift points and higher line pressure to help reliability.

I know for a fact not exhaust. I already had an EFI live autocal but they sent me tunes so they did do business with me. This is the FAQ from their website about that question: " Yes, but there are limitations. Unfortunately, we cannot ship Exhaust or EGR components to the United States anymore due to EPA regulations. However, we can still send tuning and anything else you may be after."

@@bucketheadrox I was looking at buying the 2nd gen swap for my 19 cummins and didn't know if they shipped to the US

We can ship the 2nd gen kit to the states no problem! It's only some of our other parts that we can't ship. Cheers

@@dirtydieselcustom good to know thanks for the info

This video was not designed to explain the files, on our article we break down file name meaning here: www.dirtydieselcustom.ca/blogs/universal/how-to-tune-your-truck-with-a-ez-lynk-auto-agent

We're over in Kelowna BC, although a few of us are from Sask so we all love the Prairies too!

What type of truck are you tuning? If you have a Dodge their TCM + ECM files are all in one, so you just need to select a file with both TCM and ECM tuning on it and it'll then keep both functions working. If you have a Powerstroke then you can add a TCM file to your controller and it'll run no problem, the SOTF won't affect the TCM tuning and vice versa.

@@dirtydieselcustom I’m running an LML Duramax, separate ECM+TCM I believe.

It won't be any different tuning an already-tuned truck. You should be fine if you recharge the battery and keep a maintainer on it through the next tuning attempt. Low battery voltage is the most common issue we see with tune failures.

We have seen it more on tuned trucks for sure, incorrect timing on the fuel injectors can over-stress the crank. We sometimes see it on stock trucks too but it is less common than tuned trucks. Cheers

No, it won't stay on that tune. It will default to the stock file setting. There should be separate tune files on your tuner to allow you to tune individually vs. all tune files.

CP.3 conversion eliminates all the worries of that. Also, if you’re lucky and live in an area where you can delete emissions without any fines then it’s basically a solid motor. Only things left to maintain would be your DEF system. But unless you live in a place with freezing temps you have little to worry about. I live in hawaii, bought an LML Chevy from a friend and converted to CP.3 ASAP. It’s been a reliable since then, plan to do the emission delete soon since Hawaii doesn’t have emission BS. Even without the delete tho i haven’t had any problems with the DEF system yet. The warm climate here probably helps

@@_N4VE_ I passed on the 2015 and bought a 2019. Replacing the CP4 to a CP3 is over my head. I'm no diesel mechanic so I'm hoping the L5P holds up.

@@Christafa-ss3lu I hear a lot of good things about the L5P so you should be alright. A lot of my friends have a one and love it and tell me that deleting emissions on those motors makes it even more efficient! If you live in an area without strict emissions laws i’d highly recommend finding a shop willing to delete!

@@_N4VE_ I hope it works out. Ive been told it can be done. But the expense is concerning.

@@Christafa-ss3lu yah deletes will cost you a good chunk, basically paying for the labor and installing the new exhaust pipes and a retune. Based on the shop prices vary. Well worth it for longevity and reliability tho! MPG even goes up based on your tune

Hey, if it was ordered through us reach out to me at Devlin@dirtydieselcustoms.com and I'll look into what is happening!

We have it on our website DirtyDieselCustoms.ca

We should have one soon, I'm doing research at the moment. Cheers

Senior master tech here… the CP4 problem (in my experience) is blown out of proportion. Use fuel additive and change your fuel filters every other oil change, and you will not see problems.

You'd have to get a tune that is compatible with SOTF setups, and then you could add the switch. A regular tune will not interact with the switch. The CTS3 will work when plugged into the new OBD2 port and will work normally.

How will I no the sotf switch is working? By idle can you hear it? Or by driving it looking at the fuel mileage by eating the cruise on the highway at 60mph. How do you test urs? Thanks

@@coreyadams4646 To test it out you would have it in position 1, and then go near or full throttle and change the position. The switch changes the high load fueling so it's not really noticeable when at low throttle positions.

Muck appreciated, I'll give it a try. Thanks

That is quite a few miles so it's hard to say, we've seen these trucks with good maintenance last over 500 but you're going to see things like wheel bearings, bushings and general suspension components needing to be replaced even if the engine and transmission is solid. If the truck is well maintained when you go look at it, then it could be a good unit for you but just be sure to check it out thoroughly.

That's true! We're excited that tuning has become available, once we've got some seat time and can try out a few trucks we might make a new video discussing the Aisin options. Cheers and thanks for the comment!
