A few of you guys have been asking me to make a video about tuning your Duramax, Powerstroke or Cummins trucks, so I finally made a video for you guys! After editing and reviewing this video I thought of some more stuff to talk about so I've decided to make this a 2 part series, I will make the next video in the coming weeks. The next video will cover the shift on the fly tunes, cts2 monitors, and more.
If you have questions ask in the comments!

Was thinking about tuning so I watched some videos. Thank you for sharing your tuning experience. As soon as you said the words VIN and cellphone number I said nope.
Tell me you're the super paranoid type without telling me you're the super paranoid type.
I spoke with him personally and he was very helpful with helping me pick out the right tuner for me, awesome dude thank you

EPA is on all of us Diesel Drivers. Be safe out there Men with all your performance upgrades.
I got the ezylink on my 2014 ram 6.7 best investment got SOTF and get the transmission tune it’s perfect shifts all the time no hanging gears full throttle
update?
Excellent, please keep em coming. Love the LML stuff !
Thank you!
Man I love your videos and clearly articulated explanations. I have a 12 cummins and have the mini max. Just had egr delete done and likely going to upgrade to efi live and have installed by a west kelowna company. Keep making videos please.
The grill on that Cummins is gnarly very cool
The mini max allows you to clear a code which can keep you going & keep the vehicle from shutting down
Not to mention, it works on everything. Thought that was a bonus rather than a con.
@@BricksofHappiness 100% a bonus. Have used that feature a few times on mine
I'm new to the diesel world having just bought a 100% stock 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax. I want to do 4" exhaust from the V-clamp all the way back. I watched your video on doing that, awesome job all the way thru. Budget is always a concern. What tuner will give me the best bang for my buck and what company should I contact to get everything I'm going to need to do the swap. Thank You. I'd have to say your videos are the best I've seen and I've watched a lot of em.
Cool video man. It was very informative.
Thank you!
Great information, presented well, and really authentic!
Love the videos. I will be doing my own tune and delete on my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. Seems to be pretty straight forward with the hardware but how can I be sure that I am getting a quality tune. Who do you get your tunes from and why?
Did you ever get it? I switched to EFI Live from Smarty TNT. It was a noticeable seat of the pants difference. My egts would barely hit 1100* from 0-100 mph. It doesn’t smoke as much either.
Great informative videos. Can you a video for a 2017+ Cummins HP levels and needed mods to prevent damage. Thanks.
What did you end up doing?
Well sense I’m an idiot about this tuning thing you just cleared up the hole thing for me Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your amazing knowledge definitely just got a subscription form me
Great video that helps me better understand tuning!
Watz up bud
Wat the difference between un plugging the egr vs blocking off with plates...wats the right way
To get a egr delete..
Just like all your videos I have watched, this was very helpful. Thank you!
Super informative video man. Thank you. U ever get tunes from Optimal Welding?
Thanks! Personally I haven’t but I have heard good things about their tunes!
Have you ever had a LML say engine power reduced after dpf and egr delete and tune? I used H&s mini maxx. The truck seems to have full power.
Excellent video man keep up the awesome work
Thanks buddy 👊🏻
If I have the AutoCal, and if I buy tunes would I be able to go back to my stock tune if I have to pass smog?
EZ lynk by far the best
I bought a 2018 superduty. It was already deleted and he said it had 5 ezlynk tunes programmed already but he never installed the SOTF . He said if I order a switch and tap into the fuel sensor and I’ll have 5 tunes . Question 1 does that make sense and if I add a switch how can I tell if it’s actually switching tunes ? Or can I add my own tune and will it over ride the one that’s on it
Awesome vid, so what`s your take on a MM3 tuner for a 6.7 cummins, heard some good things but also heard some not so good things, thanks man.
If i bought a truck that has tunes from ezlynk already pre loaded can i use my ezylnk auto agent to see what tunes are on it?
Hey great explanation on the tuners! I have a question. I bought a 19 6.7 Cummins, and it is deleted fully with an intake. I purchased the full edge package tuner and it isn’t really what I hoped so I decided to go to EFI live and run their system instead. Once I program and upload my map, can I still run the edge monitor with it? I’ve heard different things like I would have to unplug the injector part of the edge and essentially just use it as a screen, which is fine, but have you personally seen it done? Thank you!
Purchased a 16 F350 6.7 truck with unknown tunes and a 5 position SOTF on it. Wondering if the EZ Lynk would read the tunes and give me a description of the tunes and their positions on the switch? Any ideas on how I could find that out?
I have same situation bought a 2015 already has a tuner 5 position switch unknown tuner would love to figure out what kind
Thank you for the great explanation and video. Do you recommend any tuners in CA that will sell me a tune for off road vehicle in the USA?
Nice video, so I do have a 15 Duramax and got it deleted they put a bullydog on … I see everyone Is praising about Efi live I’m towing a 10k lb enclosed 16‘ trailer my question is am I hurting anything if I keep bullydog at a tow tune? Or should I make the switch to Efi live ? Is Efi just a nicer way but Bullydog not necessary bad ? Thanks
Thanks. I have an older h&s but I would like something that's mounted in the truck so I can easily meet changes. Which do you think would be best? I don't need the latest greatest. 2012 Ram 2500. Cummins.
Great advice thanks.
Great video Sir i have a 09 ford 6.4 that the dpf is clogged so bad it wont hardly pull it self i took it off and has all kinds of power but only for a minute or 2 i been reading about a way to disable the regen process im on social security and the dpf is more than i get in a month is there maybe a cheaper scanner or tool to disable this process ? thank you very much
I have a 2016 6.7 dodge. Previous owner put a bully dog into it. Used to have a 2013 6.7 with efi live from armour inc. Does it make sense that the 2013 with efi live have much better fuel mileage vs the bully dog equipped truck? Same tire size same gearing. I dont see how this is possible unless the truck was lying to me lol
The bully dog tuners are awful. It completely makes sense. Get rid of it.
Hi, Your videos have been very helpful! I have had several diesels. I recently bought a gmc 1500 with the 3.0 lm2. Have you had any experience with these diesels? It’s a 2020, a lot newer than what I’m used to. Curious on some options to improve fuel economy. I average around 40k miles a year. Mainly highway commutes. It doesn’t do to bad. I’m not a big fan of the def and would like to remove it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jake.
You forgot to mention ezlink allows you to go back to a factory tune and efi live doesn’t
Is it worth it getting a tune for your diesel if you are not deleting anything?
Had a “buddy” delete my power stroke, how do I know if it was done right or tuned?
Hi I just picked up my first diesel truck a 2017 ram with 3000 miles on it. I’m not looking for more power really I just want to delete it…I’m looking for plug and play and reliability… who and what would you recommend?
When you delete the DPF system, are you removing the def fluid from the tank or removing the tank altogether?
I just bought an 08 6.7. The dpf has been removed and replaced with straight pipe from turbo on back. How can I tell if it has been tuned also? It don't "roll coal" but will easily break loose the 35" tires.
When I look at buying a Easylink I noticed that it would say: EMISSIONS INTACT TUNING ONLY. Whats' going on. I am just learning about tuning my 2016 Ram 3500.
What was the name of the last two tuners that you talked about in your video
Your thoughts on the lawsuit against ez lynk? Looking to buy a tuner but don’t want to purchase something that could possibly fall under?!
Hello, good video, I tried to look up the EZ-Lynk and all I could find is the ez=lynk 2 and it does not state that it's for the 6.4 powerstroke. Will the EZ-lynk 2 work for my 2998 F-550 6.4?
Just bought a 2007 Cummins and it came with that xrt pro. It struggles to tow 10k pounds. Something is not right idk what to do.
I have a question I do watch your videos and I have that it's linked 2 and I can change my tire size Chris is stuck on 35 but right now I just sent to285 and I can change it can you please help me or please let me know how I can do it thank you I really appreciate it
Is it easy going right back to stock tune in a 19 powerstroke from an ez link tune to run the egr and dpf filter. Putting the filter and plugging the egr back in is easy but i know nothing about tunes. I cant find the answer to this question anywhere
I live in Alberta, so it would be a daily driver tune. :)
Ha. Nevermind about my question on your 5th gen video.
So far I found this video useful it’s been a couples of weeks trying to get a good decent tuner!!! With a good program (tuner) on it. I got a ram 2020 6.7 and I have been doing my research about this and I don’t decide what kind on tuner gets. What are your thoughts on the mm3 with coopers custom solutions or the ez link with the same tuner? Cause I’m seeing that Optimal welding got goods reviews but still cannot find reviews of ccs. And now with the sue for ez link do you think could affect on something that could get it harder to get support for it. Can u help me with this please!! Thanks
Personally I use ccs and have never had an issue. I don’t think ez lynk is going to be effected by the lawsuit.
Have you installed the bank I dash or bullydog system? Is the Bullydog a tuner so you can delete egr and soot cooker? Thank you. Love your videos!!! Keep them coming.
Never installed bank but I am familiar with bullydog. To be honest, I am not a fan of bullydog tunes. I know multiple people who have had issues with their tunes. But to answer your question, if you buy a bullydog tuner in Canada you can get one that deletes the emissions, but if you are buying a bullydog tuner in the states I don’t think it can remove emissions. If you have a newer truck with DEF I’d really recommend efi live or ez-lynk.
I’ve been told that my edge cts3 evolution I can use. And suggestions? Thanks.
I have a Nissan titán xD cumins 2016 and I want to do the delete but I don't know what I need, what program ???
After I EGR delete is it okay if i DON'T change my tune? Will I get a check engine light? I have an Banks Tuner with basic mod tunes, not sure if that's good enough or if It'll throw codes because the EGR isn't communicating? (2011 RAM 2500)
Can you clear codes later on with the Emilie autocal
What would you recommend on a 2019 Nissan titan xd cummins
Hey, I have ram ecodiesel,, I watched your videos, deleting the egr, dpf, def.
Do you have shop where I can come,, I'm in Ontario.
Thanks
Is there a tune with just a egr delete? I'd like to keep the dpf.
Great video. Very informitive
Thanks!
Any way to custom tune '22 Cummins yet? With or without emissions or still locked out by ucconect?
I have replaced my stock turbo with an iron horn kit and I have ez link, what do I need to tune/delete the vgt turbo program? thank you
Who do you get your tunes from I have my ez link on the way for my DPF Delete for my off road F350 and need to find a great tuner
HI WHAT YOU THINK OF THE BANKS AUTO MINDER? THANKS DENIS
What do you have to do if your on efi trying to switch over to ez lynk
Where did you get the efi live autocal?
Love your videos man. I just installed my delete on my 2015 Cummins with ez link sotf. Only question I have though is when loading tunes do you need to turn the sotf switch to load each of your 5 tunes? I can't seem to find any clarity on this discussion.
No, you only load one tune file, it’s a special sotf file. Once you load it the switch should automatically switch between different power levels.
The switch doesn’t even have to be installed or plugged in to load the sotf tune.
Aren’t all the Mini Maxx units refurbished/fake units since H&S stopped making them years ago?
will it get rid of the engine lights from when you egr delete codes?
If you get emission off tuning it will
I have a question how do I know if a tuner will work on my truck
I have an ez lynk auto agent on my 6.7 cummins and am looking for a new company to get tunes from. Any recommendations?
Does ezlynk load tunes on multiple trucks or do I need one for each truck?
2016 Nissan Titan XD5.0 Cummings
Hey man I’m new to your channel, awesome vids keep it up!! I’m from canada also were do you buys your parts?? Online or local?
You’re delete kit and tunners
I get my parts straight from the suppliers. If you live in Canada you can get stuff from dirty diesel customs, they are great to deal with
Does the EFI live or the Easy link work on a 22 Ram 6.7? We’ve been trying to get Optimal industry to actually install on the truck with a donor ecm. Still won’t work and optimal is not helping, not returning calls,emails, dm. I’m 4000 into this tune and HP tuners are a scam. And the truck is dead in the water for a month waiting on help from Optimal. Please help.
Contact Spencer at dirty diesel customs. Tell him I sent you.
I’m trying to find a easy link kit with tunes on it or find just somebody who sells iTunes I can’t find anything can I get some help please
Hey brother, I live in the states, but I am looking to delete my truck and also, do away with the VGT turbo. Does diesel dudes sell the turbo delete programming, or should I look elsewhere for it?
Ya they should be able to help you out. Send me a message on instagram
@@darkirondiesel thanks pal, is it dark iron diesel on there as well?
Who does Off-road tuning for EZ Lynk?
Is it possible to live tune a Chevy 6.2 gas
How much horse power can a stock 2017 dodge ram Cummings transmission handle?
Well, I’ve seen a lot of stock trucks blow transmissions so there’s really no way to know.
@@darkirondiesel would you say it's more on how the person drives then?
I only ask because I was wanting to add about 100hp to my truck. However did not want any issues
Any experience with the Edge Tuners, more specifically the CTS3?
I’ve never used the cts3 as a tuner but I’ve sold lots of cts3 monitors and guys love them
Will this work for the D word?
Will a EFI Live tune a truck with EZ Link installed on it with no auto agent?
Efi live should just overwrite the ez lynk tune
Can you comment on the unit by “Banks”
This tunes will void warranty?
What company to go with for a deleted lml of course off-road use only?!!! I only see companies selling tuners for emission compliant trucks.
ricky pisarchick where you located at
Check out ccs tuning they might be able to help you if it’s off-road use.
Andrew Fultz I’m in Colorado in the army but my trucks are registered back in Pennsylvania. In my area their is no emissions.
ricky pisarchick I live in Indiana and I could not get what I wanted in the states so I went to HD Diesel supply thy are in Canada and they can help you get everything you need for your truck off-road use. I think you could even get flow pro exhaust from them they use proven diesel for their tunes .
Andrew Fultz okay cool I’ll check them out
where can you get a preloaded EFI live? can it clear and engine codes? will it work with a fully deleted 6.7 cummins?
Ya it can clear codes and ya it will work with deleted cummins as long as you get delete tunes installed on it. Where are you located?
@@darkirondiesel South Bend, IN Go Irish!
I’m trying to figure out what tuner I need to get for my 2016 lml. Everyone says efi live cause it tunes your transmission too which is what I want. But h and s is also a monitor and can clear codes. Can you help me out with this please?
Efi live 100% if you want a monitor then buy an edge cts3 monitor
Get the ccs tuned efi live from dirty diesel customs and use DARKIRON5 for 5% off
What’s your opinion on diesel dudes that’s where I was going to order from cause they have been really helpful so far and they always answer there phone for any questions I have
Hi I'm from México and a need a kit for delete the Duramax fron a Silverado 2015
Here you go man, this company will ship to you but you might have to pay a little more since you’re not in the states. shrsl.com/4bmpm
Tell them I sent you, they will hook you up
I'm new to this topic, do you need to tune (2016 Ram 3500) before doing the delete of can you just delete the EGR?
Yeah you have to tune it and you also have to remove the DPF by installing an aftermarket exhaust
Great videos man! I have a 14 6.7 will ezlynk not work?
Cummins or powerstroke? Ez lynk will work on both
@@darkirondiesel thanks for the reply. One more question do you have to get tunes from somewhere else or just use the tunes they offer?
Would there be a problem with me relocating my 2007 Dodge 3500 6.7L Cummins ECM to the inside of the cab from the lower side of the engine
I don’t see why not
@@darkirondiesel Thank you for your quick reply, Would it be best to just cut the existing ECM plugs and extend the wire using heavier gauge wire or try to find extensions
i got an h&s with a truck i bought, would it be worth spending the money on an ezlink? or should i just keep running the h&s unless it dies?
I’d just keep running the H&S man. They are good tuners.
I have a question for the ez link, do you have to leave it plugged in or can you unplug and keep the tunes. I ask because I honestly don’t know. Thank you
Once you tune the truck you can unplug the ez lynk. You only have to plug it in if you want to watch your gauges on your phone or change the tune
@@darkirondiesel ok thank you
Nice video, but I still don't know why I should go with EFI Live or EZ.... (2018 6.7 Cummins)
Your best bet is to try to find a shop that can just flash a single tune on your truck. That’s the easiest and cheapest option. Is there anyone near you that can flash ez lynk or efi live? Either or would be fine.
Is it true that an 18 Cummins with the touch screen controls loses the heated and AC seat controls with EFI live?
Is it worth tuning a stock 2016 duramax? Looking to possibly keep def atleast for now. The plan is for this to be my future toy hauler so just looking to maximize fuel mileage until i save up again for the toys.
Personally I wouldn’t bother just because the LML engines are already super fuel efficient. I’d use the money towards an aftermarket air intake instead like S&B intake.
@@darkirondiesel sounds good thank you!
What happens if my mini maxx dies.. will I still be able to drive my truck.. my truck is 2012 ram fully deleted..
Yeah if your minimax dies it will just default to the lowest tune setting and stay there forever.
Can you do the difference between H&S Mini Maxx and the bully dog gt
They are the same thing just with different tunes on them. I personally am not a fan of bully dog, I know multiple people who have had issues with them. Also, H&S is no longer a company so I don’t even think you can buy a new minimax anymore. My advice, go with efi live or ez lynk. What kind of truck is it for?
What kind of problems with the bully dog? I've done lots of research but can't find specifics. I just bought a truck with one. I don't want it to damage the turbo or transmission or something.
The main issues I’ve found with them were rough idling and white smoke, but swapping the bully dog to efi live fixed the issues every time.
It is for a 2011 lml Dually
Do you need a tune for egr delete for 6.7 cummins
yes, links in description
