Diesel tuning restrictions for USA customers

Crap, that means the US wont be getting the 2.8L Duramax except if you import it. :(

So, Ross...figured out what ECM those bad boys use yet?

I believe it's an EDC17 of some sort , though I haven't seen one for myself.

Whatever it is somebody has cracked it as they have some REALLY fast ones over in Thailand.

Question, does this also affect the EGR capabilities of the earlier trucks as well? Such as 03-06?

(Hands together in praying stance...) Please say no!

This affected the disabling of any emissions EQUIPMENT installed on a vehicle. Since the 5.9L only have in cylinder EGR which is a combination of the CAM and tuning, there is really no real emission EQUIPMENT to affect. In order for it to affect the 5.9L, they would have to do away with the ability to tune all together which I don't see happening.

Your forgetting that most who use EFILIVE for diesels are probably using it for a DURAMAX as the CUMMINS is still fairly new to it. And starting in 02, the DURAMAX could have an EGR valve on it. So the question remains will we lose the EGR control ability for 02-07's?

We haven't made a final decision on the earlier model EGR question as it can be worked around without tuning right?
