GM Duramax L5P Tuning Kit (2017-2026) is the tuning-only portion of our complete L5P delete solution — built for owners who already have their EGR delete hardware and exhaust sorted and just need the tuning side handled. This kit gives you everything required to unlock (where applicable), flash, and run custom SOTF or single-calibration tunes on your L5P without piecing together tuning hardware from multiple sources.
