    dpf removal & exhaust

    It all depends on the state you live in and how you drive the truck. If you drive normal you won't see much smoke. If you drive like some young kid and run the crap out of it it's going to smoke. I know in Texas before I moved here I got my truck inspected with everything removed. Never have...

    spartan tuner

    Remember, there are 2 versions of the 210 tune. The regular one and the 210 tow tune which locks up the converter in any gear above 2nd and will get you into high gear at a very low speed..... For those that want dpf on tunes there you have the choice of 40, 75, 125 and 150 hp tunes...

    Spartan 210 Tune - Best thing I did.

    First, the 210 is NOT a race tune. If you want more power, then you need to use one the bigger hp tunes. We have a 250, 275 and 310. If your going to be running someone then I would at least get the 275. The 210 tune doesn't even come close to it..... Mick @ Spartan

    Programmer suggestions??

    Spartan!!!! You can get it now or get it later after you've spend your money on another product. Don't think you can beat their tunes, or the DashDAQ!!!!

    Programmer suggestions??

    Spartan!!! Power is amazing and and an increase in economy. Plus the DashDAQ is a great instrument that can monitor almost anything you wish. It has the ability to clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes, has audible alerts, and there is also an add-on-GPS available....

    Horrible fuel mileage

    Heck, your making me feel great about my mileage!!! I'm getting about 14.4 driving back and forth to work. All stop and go traffic. Haven't had it on the highway since last year, so hopefully that also has gone up. I have towed 21,000 running the 210 tune and got 5.6, and towing approximately...

    Dpf delete excessively high boost levels

    John - Wish I could offer some solid advice, but I would hate to tell you something that I just don't know. Here's a copy of a post from December that I posted on the Spartan Forum: I just pulled 21,000 with the 210 tune. Truck had plenty of power. Outside temp 65 degrees. Egt's running 60-65...

    Dpf delete excessively high boost levels

    My dually has never been in the shop!!! My wife's truck was in for a vibration problem, and they did reflash it. I sent the new strategy code in to Nutty and he said I was good to go. Had no problems at all loading the tunes. I can say one thing for sure. Would not want to drive my truck...

    Dpf delete excessively high boost levels

    I think I would get rid of it and go with Spartan. All the power you would ever need. Boost running 65 with my 4.10 rear end around 8-10. That's running the 275 hp tune.

    Horrible fuel mileage

    Well I think were all in the same sinking boat here. My truck has the 4.10 rear-end. First time I towed 13,500 probably 2000 miles on the truck, before the truck was tuned I got 5.5 mpg. After it was tuned I got 8.6 pulling the same load. I did pull 21,000 back in December using the 210 tune...
