    I have a ddec3 block, w a ddeciv ecm, had the 485hp program as an update when the original ecm kicked the bucket. It was usable, sounds like you are running a dump bucket or log truck tho. Might be great for you...what are you running now for a program?

    I have a 430/470 running the 485 program +10% fuel with a BW 171702 and it pulls strong. it was rebuilt about 2 years ago. last month two guys were hauling off a jobsite heading into WV. The detroit ended up with 107k and was pulling the hills about the same as the stock 475cat who was about 83k
