What is used for the tuning files?? Are they straight OEM files tweaked to use on 11-14 trucks?? Are they "custom" tweaked PCM/TCM files short of being full ****** files???


I tend to suggest to 11-14 people to go with the 2015+ hardware upgrade but rarely hear about that it takes on the tuning side.

So in my situation I'm running the old S****** tuner with full d*****. Just what we did back then. I am happy with it. It's been good to me. But I think it could be complicated should I need to tweek 'it'.

Ya probably upgrading would be a good idea once I've committed myself. So should a 2015 and up stock hpfp be used or after market? Can I benefit from more fuel from aftermarket pump?

Basically your only aftermarket option is a stroker pump but iirc they don’t last as long as a stock 15+ pump but you wouldn’t benefit from a stroker pump on a stock 15+ turbo

So stock pump it is. Thx erbear for the info.

You may not NEED a revision, but you may benefit from it. I had Patriot OST on my 14 and LOVED it, allowed for the tweaking I needed, in your situation without OST you'll need to get a new device.

That would suck if I needed a new device. Quite happy with what I have now. I would hate to do a complete turbo upgrade and struggle with figuring out what or who's tuner to go with. Don't like unprepared changes. Trying to get all my ducks in a row...

Yes 17' turbo on the 13'. Swap was done by Powerstroke Enginuities in Houston.

I went with a Factory 2015+ HPFP since I'm not running bigger injectors.
