Hey Everyone,

I am looking to do a Stage 1 tune on my 2022 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. I still have the EGR, DPF, and SCR still installed.

Looking for a tune that will increase horsepower, torque, and MPG while still being California Emissions compliant.

Who makes the best Stage 1 Tune?

Thanks!

For California?? No one makes anything that's legal in California. GDE actually tried but CARB decided to not play by the rules.
Only thing you might be able to get away with is a tune out of EcoDiesel Owners Canada and swap it back in before your emissions testing.

Although it's all possible someone from CARB is trying track down who you are for even asking... LOL!

Tuning with the emissions installed is $$$. Expect to have a clogged filter requiring replacement.

If the tuner is an idiot you'll have problems.
To throw a blanket statement down that a tuned truck with emissions intact will have a plugged filter is completely false. There's millions of miles on tunes by GDE that resulting in the DPF most likely lasting longer than with the OEM tune due to less soot loading and a more efficient regen cycle.

Is GDE in business? Did they get a lawsuit and fine?

Not true- Banks makes a 50 state compliant tune.

Yes GDE is still in business, from what I understand they're past the EPA stuff.

Banks isn't a full fledged "tune" but a fooler box on the factory ECM tune maps. They're offering is fairly new.

Would the Derringer void the factory warranty? If it's all that we have in Kalifornia, I'd be down for extra 57+ HP and 73 ft lbs of Torque.
