I could text you this just as easy and I will but since Joseph the "builder" wants to try and start stuff I'll explain. I've had numerous people come look at the truck, diesel techs from shops and from the dealer. I'm going off what everyone besides you guys are saying. Your the only person saying its not your tuning yet your also the only one who hasn't seen the truck or the motor since this happened in person. So to assume so much over the phone and based off of what you hear is your own deal. When I get everything from the dealer like I said I'll be sending it all to you. Tell you what...you build a truck like this...blow it up and get no help from the person the wrote the tune and see how you feel about it. Meanwhile everyone running tests and pulling the motor apart says it's the tuning...again just basing it off what the other techs looking at it tell me...you've not looked at it nor pulled any diagnostics on it so I'm not sure where you confidence comes from. You guys gave me the tuning which is now stuck in the truck cause no one will come un-tune the truck yet yall were quick to drive down and tune it. Now the truck is blown up and you just wanna call me and defend yourself about how your so confident it wasn't your tuning not come to Houston and really find out what's going on. I do work for customers all over TX and surrounding states and if anyone has issues over something we could have potentially caused I would get in the truck and go check it out for myself before I started talking about all the other trucks that haven't had issues and basing it off of that. The truck was throwing codes non-stop from the point it was tuned on. Before that this truck made 2 over 2k mile trips towing 10k+ lbs with no issues, lights or problems at all.
You told me the dealer also told you it hung a injector... i THOROUGHLY explained to you how it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to hang a injector in tuning (1 pulse map controls all 8 injectors, they do not all have a individual map so i couldnt cause 1 to hang open and not the others if i tried)
You told me the dealer said it was making 36k PSI etc etc (which i call BS on that, but anyways) ...I THOROUGHLY explained how i couldnt possibly do that if i tried and also how the PCV would take control before that would happen, etc.
You told us the truck dropped oil pressure, I THOROUGHLY explained how i cant cause that in tuning... Even if i tried. I cant "turn off the pump" so to speak.
Lastly, You told me you would get to digging into it and once the motor was tore down you would get back with me. I told you i was interested to know the failure... So here is what i gather..
-You still have NO TRUE DATA
-You still dont know the failure to determine the potential cause
-You still are going off of assumptions due to no data
-You are dealing with the dealer that should "UNTUNE" the truck with their factory tool leaving you to not do it.
-You still have not presented to us what the actual failure point on the truck is.
-You decide to bash us because you dont have enough knowledge to bash anything else.
-You are blaming this on us just like you did the brake switch code that popped up on the truck causing it to not move... and then found it was bad (new trucks dont break right?)
It is very hard to blame tuning for something that is in quite a few other trucks... I dont need to drive there and look at the fil on the truck (which i cant),,, I can pull it up here and it looks like everyone elses.
At the end of this, you are going to make yourselves look very ignorant... Its not so much "defending myself" but rather looking for info. I dont need to drive all the way to Houston to tell you what i did over the phone and what i just repeated from that conversation here. I actually said i recommend bringing it to CENTEX, in which then it would have a good diagnostic performed on the truck.
My suggestion to this? My suggestion is get the truck into a professional shop that actually knows what they are doing (CENTEX) and then we can see whats up. This brother in law he said she said stuff is for the birds...
What can everyone learn from this?
-Common sense-
Lets apply common sense here... We are talking about a tune that makes MAYBE 450hp... The truck was cruising when it failed. To cruise takes approx 125hp (Lets say since this truck is huge etc that it takes 200hp)... We are still 200hp under the manufactures HP range right off the lot. So the tuning at 200hp less than stock at the time of failure caused it to fail? Not quite possible... So folks... anytime you look at scenario, apply common sense.
"You" was said a lot in my post... reasoning? Simply because thats where our conversation left off was waiting on YOUR action and then i read this BS.
