Tuner depot was very helpful I thought I screwed up on the tune part and flashing the ecm but there customer service told me I didn’t mess it up and helped me through it but one thing for sure is nothing to do with tuner depot but no one every tells you on a first time doing one of these trucks the amount of hours it takes it took me almost 30 hours which if I had the right tools and confidence I could of probably cut it down to about 20 but kit works great it’s got awesome power now and I’ll be doing the down pipe very soon to I highly recommend just buying it and getting it over with because the truck is still very quiet almost like it’s a notch above stock
Just got them installed on my truck yesterday and cannot believe the increase in performance! Can’t wait to take it on a road trip already see more power increase and fuel mileage. Unbelievable would do it again tomorrow!
I purchased the efi live sotf tunes along with Dpf delete kit, dpf was good quality, tuner worked with me and not only sent my autocal loaded with a sotf tune but also sent me a few single tunes to use until I installed the switch, the only negative was that 130hp was the max power tune single or switch on the fly, but over all I was pretty happy and service was very good throughout.
Could have come with some kind of directions. Made it through it ok but a little direction would have been nice. Overall everything works as it should.
Before installing never had a code after install getting low fuel rail pressure code under load. If I keep RPMs up just a little ( by switching to manual shift and never come out of 5 gear Allison 6 speed trans) will work fine . If u shift to 6th gear lower RPM as soon as u go up a little incline it starves for fuel and goes into reduced power mode. But if u mash the excelsior and down shifts it will take off like a rocket.
Muffler has great sound, no restrictions. The best part of the whole deal was the outstanding service and shipping that Tuner Depot provided. Would definitely use them again.
