Last month I did the DPF delete, unlock, EFILive tunes with 4-way switch, EGR cooler delete, throttle valve delete and straight piped from the turbo back to the stock muffler.
Damn truck runs like race car and sounds like a big rig. Great combination!
After reading up on CTD tuning and transmissions, plus a little bit of time at WOT on tune #3 , it was clear another set of mods was needed which are being installed today:
1. BD Diesel valve body plate kit.
2. Mag-Hytec 68RFE deep trans pan with an additional 3+ quarts of fluid capacity.
3. ATS 68RFE transmission case brace.
The reason for the mods was to reduce transmission fluid bleed through past the stock valve body which causes a 14 psi pressure drop and some shuddering, additional fluid to facilitate more efficient fluid cooling which works well with the higher line pressure and to mitigate transmission case cracking, one of the most common 68RFE transmission failures caused by excessive movement of the transmission.
Dropped the truck off at the shop last night and expect to get it back today.
I will escalate performance testing with tune #4 (The Holy Crap! tune) in play.
More later...
