I believe the general consensus of the forum is that the GDE tune will most likely extend the life of the engine and eliminate some nuisance CELs. Since you're in Canada you can get the non-EPA tune and even do a full delete if you want.

 

Fuggetta-about it, the Gold standard that everybody compares themselves against is GDE, It's really about cleaning up FCA misguided pollution control that chokes out and kills our engines. Take the engine brake option and regen meesage option. I had the GDE tune and my truck was written off no fault of mine the fuel savings alone pay for the tune. Also GDE I will accept a donation tune for my 2016.

 

For me, proof was in the pudding. 100,000 miles now, GDE Hot Tune at 5,000 miles. I got regen message option and DEF delete. If I had it to do over, would have just gotten the delete off road tune and straight piped, as I never used warrantee. Hindsight is 20/20. There is also the new EPA compliant tune, I'd stick with the older tune and delete EGR and DEF and if you tow a lot, the trans tune. Keeping all the crap out of intake manifold and keeping oil clean is worth the price of the tune. BTW, my DEF pump failed at around 50,000 miles, GDE tune saved me from a head ache.

 

HYDREX,

The only tune you can get from Green Diesel Engineering now is the EPA compliant tune, the days of buying the tune and deleting the emissions equipment are over with. These guys who think its cool to blow black smoke all over everyone all the time are the main reason for the crack down.

Some just want a clean running engine that is reliable. I can't imagine manufacturing all the DPF, EGRs and other emission components to be great for the environment either. Especially when the engineering on the entire system eventually clogs and has to be replaced, costing the owner an arm and a leg to get fixed. Not all diesel owners are trying to 'roal coal'

 

There is no noticeable black smoke from the GDE off road tune. Rolling coal isn't an option.

 

My pre-EPA tune still uses the Cat, DPF and SCR but not the DEF and EGR. No black smoke here either. In fact, my Ecodiesel exhaust tips are the cleanest of the 3 vehicles I own, having no soot.

 

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the EPA crackdown has a lot more than rolling smoke driving it.
