This tune should help fuel mileage, because it does have more timing added to it. It started as a 5EK/6TS 550 Brakesaver 2300 RPM pre LOW NOX file then timing and fuel were added to it. This file before it was modified is a very good upgrade on a stock 5EK/6TS 550..........the two trucers that are running it so far are saying it's a beast. PDI tested it in a truck they had at the shop and they claim it's stronger than the standard Stage 1 tune. It should be very close to a Stage 2 tune.
I'll try to find you an ECM, but they've gotten expensive and hard to come by lately. CAT raised the price up on a new ones so much that the used ones went up in value
question about CAT engines

Is this tune ready to use? If so, I'll send a friend with a 5EK to you for it instead of the PDI tune. PM me the price if you have it, thanks.

It's not my tune. I helped PDI and gave them the flash file to modify to make this tune. It was a 170-8195 flash file with a 135 Personality Module Code this is for the 5EK/6TS 550 with Brakesaver option and 2300 RPM field uprate. I have the original CAT flash file which is good on it's own in a 5EK wih the fuel numbers I use it's very strong. This is a pre LOW NOX file with the lower water temperature setting for the fan to come on.
PDI has the modified file..........they claim that they added enough fuel for a 100 Hp gain and advanced injection timing.
I was told that PDI was going to modify another file based off the 5DS 600 BS 2300 RPM file that I gave them info about. -
Im averaging 5.8 mpg on my t600 with a 78 gross from milwaukke to las vegas with a BXS 13 speed and 3.36ecm has been flashed, bigger filter head , 8" straights and a turbo wing on top
