Well so far I have mixed reviews. The install took about 2 hours (mostly my fault) but the tech support provided by BD during the install was quite helpful.

Got everything installed and was anxious to test drive! Drove a bit and the CE light came on. Also the truck seems to be not wanting to coast but stay on the gear lower and it almost feels like I have an "engine brake mode" installed.

Also the BD doesn't even recognize the CE light at all to clear it and it says I have "no DTC" to clear.

Yet every time I start the truck I have the light on.

I dropped the tune down from premium (91 octane) down to 89 and topped off my tank with 91 octane fuel just now.


If the truck doesn't work through some of these items I will flash it back to stock until I can figure out what is up.

I have a catch can already installed and working if you guys were concerned about octane loss,..

Call BD. They can give you an update to get rid of that code. Also takes a few days for the tune to kick in.

CE light cleared itself after about 30 minutes of driving...maybe octane issue??

Don't think its the gas. At first I ran the 89 octane with 91 tune with no problems. But now I run 91 octane and can feel the power difference.

These computers are very finicky. It was probably just an intermittent glitch that tripped the code, but reset on its own after putting a few miles on it.
