Helping out Dad.

[TexNeck]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,


My name is Sam and I am here to learn more about my Dad's 2012 2500. We deleted it a while back but, we used a "now legit" tuner and the ECM/TCM tunes SUCK. The truck is tuned via an Efilive auto cal. He spent a ridiculous amount of money for a SOTF, exhaust, EGR delete kit. That's it. The trucks converter lock up shift is atrocious and shifts like snowflake driving a manual for the first time. His mileage is worse in town due to high shift points as well. I sold him on the truck 3 years ago cause he got a 100k mile 2012 2500 Longhorn for $27,999. I have good friends. Personally, I owned my cummins diesel years ago and it was an 2004.5 2/+1.5 doors. That`s why I sold it. The seating was to small for a family. Yeah Yeah shoot me I own a 2015.5 LML duramax ccsb now. I love it. I love all diesels. I have own 10+ diesels. I just don't have any real experience on tuning 10-12 2500's. I have beeeeennnnnn scolded almost shot for NOT telling him to use a MM3 and "DrDre - re=great". I am going to stick around for many years. This is his last truck, I hate to say. He always wanted a nice truck and this thing is still CLEAN!!! I talked my Dad and Mom into moving to Texas after they retired. They did and we love having them here. He is really upset with the performance of the truck and wants to use it to haul their 5th wheel around. I have to get this right and I'm willing to make it happen. Just thought I'd make a intro as why I'm here.

Thank you for the welcomes and time.

Welcome!

What part of TX are you?

Coming from Dmax I understand, I have a V2 from previous trucks. To enable Cummins tuning it was about the same as a MM3. Tunes were a little more for the MM3, but there is no monitor with EFI hardware.

I'm not too familiar with any shops out that way.

Truck Source Diesel (TSD) in San Antonio would be able to fix you up with the current software he has.

Not sure if he ever gets down that way.
