    Time has come to get a new truck, I went for another star with a Detroit.
    Most things are good but I would like better mpg,s and a little more hp, I'm having withdrawals from the C16.

    I loved the CAT but had to move with the times, I need to know what upgrades I can do?

    I have looked at Bully dog but cant find anything on the DDEC VI, BD would be the best bet for me as I live half way around the would and shipping ECM's would be to difficult and would probably affect my warranty.

    Any idea's????

    Does your engine have a dpf and egr? I know diesel spec has a mileage/performance tune and can shut off the egr, but not the dpf. I imagine pdi offers the same since they work together on there tunes.

    really look for guy who works with DDCT.

    D-6 really is new Mercedes/Temic ECM and it works with FR (ADM-3) control unit (also called VECU). It is password locked but I used to call hot line and they say password w/o problem
