So I had a special case. I needed a tune for a 2008 C5500 Duramax. This is obviously a commercial truck. They were able to send me the handheld. My mechanic downloaded the parameters from the truck. He sent them off. I had a custom tune back in 2 days. The truck now runs great. Thanks to Dyno Diesels for a custom tune. When our government is doing everything they can to ruin diesels. Dyno has your back.

Everything I needed was in the kit I was very happy with Everything except the shift on the fly selector. I spent 2 hours installing it in a very inconspicuous location. After I installed it we could not get the proper voltage reading for it to work correctly with my truck. So now I have it still mounted in my truck but I had to unhook it so it was a $150 item that I won't be able to use. But everything else worked very well and I am pleased with the outcome of the installation. Thank you for your products. Will be purchasing more form your company in the future

Bobby

Holt

Great customer support!

Javier

Hernandez

Everything went well. Took me 4 hours to complete, solo. Only gripe I could have (which I don't) would be the lack of instructions for the bracket that bolts to the exhaust. Took me a while to figure that out as the instructions showed a different set up. Preciate the kit. Have recommended to other folks.

Cordy

DD

Very pleased with it, customer service was great with any questions, only issues I had was that electrical connector plugs were not available along with a better option for switch that would of had a direct connector without splicing. Thanks

The product was exactly as pictured and was what was expected. The shipping was late and I paid $350 for overnight shipping and it ended up being two days and I still had to go pick it up from the shipper (FedEx).

The truck is running pretty good now thanks to your tunes and email help. I ran the 60hp tune for a few days then loaded the 100hp. Ran a tranny learn session out on the interstate immediately after the flash. Truck runs better on the 100hp than the 60hp tune in my opinion. No rolling coal, just a little "coal dust" when accelerating. The mileage is fantastic compared to what it was getting before the turbo replacement and tuning. It was 13-14 mpg before the swap. Now running the 100hp tune, I'm getting 21-22mpg. Unbelievable! On a fresh refuel, I reset the mpg display on the truck. The first 125 miles saw 22.5 mpg! After five days of mixed driving, it was still holding 21.8 mpg. Now, the big question is: How accurate or valid is the PCM calculation and display? Who care? Before it was reading 13-14 m mpg. Now it's showing 21.8 mpg. That makes me happy and that a good thing. I will run a manual calculation when I refuel again in a few days to cross check. Thanks again for your help and patience.

Lance

Benner

I'm really happy with the Ecodiesel delete kit, which comes with an ECM and transmission tune.,My first impressions are really positive.,I installed this kit last weekend and the results have been outstanding in terms of power and fuel efficiency.,My 2016 3.0L Ecodiesel was in bad shape, stuck in 'limp mode' due to an electronic throttle fault and a DPF that was completely full.,The dealer wanted to charge me over $3,000 to replace the DPF filter, but I decided to do the installation myself.,While it was a tough process, it was definitely worth the effort.,After completing the hardware installation, I cleared the engine codes and downloaded the ECM/transmission tunes.,I went for the 40hp tune, and I can really feel the difference - there's better throttle response and a 2mpg improvement on rural roads so far.,We'll have to wait and see about the long-term durability, but I'll definitely update if I run into any issues.,Overall, I'm really pleased with the product, the instructions, and the customer support.

Well let's just start this out by saying I have a 16 ram 6.7 and I ordered the ezlynk with the LION package shipping was very fast and everything was complete I deleted my rig it took a complete weekend because we had a little hiccup with the ezlynk not hooked to a technician but as soon as GDP opened the problem was completely fixed the five position switch was perfect and everything functions great the tip for the 5in exhaust is completely over the top but as a dump would look great I'm very pleased with the tunes just took my camper on a 80 mile journey and have ZERO complaints now the truck is a beast I highly suggest you go with DIESEL LION for the simple fact that it was very easy to install and use ...... on a side not I do also recommend headstuds!!!! Definitely worth it THANK YOU DIESELLION.COM for everything I will be sending business your way with all my friends

I am more than happy with it. I have completed the DPF removal and straight pipen install. I have not removed the EGR. I can say that I have picked up more power and 3 more mpg towing. I have an 8k pound bumer pull camper. There is a little black smoke when I punch it; none if I drive "normal". My wife said it is louder, who asked her. I have been on the fence but your price and the extra $100 off, with free shipping was the factor. Thanks for the entire process from ordering to installation videos.

Scott

Stribling

EGR kid was a breeze, for me at least. Everything I needed was in the kit. Only thing I want to say to help for future kits, is that the gasket for the intake neck/tube, it was bent and on the verge of tearing. I was able to reuse the original one on my truck since it is a very low mileage truck. Otherwise, thank you and hope I can find something on your website I can use!

Anthony

David

Hancock

Initially hesitant about deleting, I found that it turned out to be the best thing I could have done. As a result, I no longer experience exhaust service lights, and there is no lagging when I step on the accelerator. Additionally, I have noticed an increase in fuel mileage.

Adam

B

Kit was great so far 5" was very tight at the down pipe had to bend it on frame side. And had to weld up the clamps that hold exhaust together they were a little chincy other than that no complaints at all.

Jeramie

Received everything very quickly!

Greg

Rinkes

Very happy with my order. Could have used some instructions on the install. Thanks Youtube. Also don't really understand the trans tune. Didn't get any verification it was installed on the tuner or even how it is installed. Don't even know if I really have it.

Tracy

Funderb

Thanks guys, everything worked out great. My order came in on time and any questions I had, you guys we're able to answer me via email ASAP. I will definitely recommend you. Thanks again

Tristan

Wright

Installation for exhaust was pretty straightforward. Internet connection is slow where I live, so download of the tune was pretty time consuming. Also had to take off my dashboard to access unlock location for ECU. On the upside, easily added 3mpg - sometimes a little better when taking it easy. Amazing to get almost 30mpg (sometimes low 30's) out of a 1/2 ton pickup truck.

Jeffrey

I am stoked! Thank you ALL for being a part of the solution. It burns me up to know the amount of great engines out there being ruined by the ridiculous laws and science being forced on great Diesel engines. No doubt about it, there are less than a handful of un-needed factories blowing more pollution into the world than ALL of the diesel engines combined. Thank you again for all you do! God speed.

Ordering process was great and everything arrived quickly and intact. The GDP tunes seem decent although there is some smoke on level 1 where I wouldn't think there would be any. Overall very satisfied with the product.

I would just like to say thank you for such a great system your team sold me. I had everything I needed and made this kit installation go very smoothly. I was very nervous going into this, my boys kept telling me it will be fine. The Agent 3 device was such an easy install it was crazy. Everything connected very easily and meshed well with my Banks equipment I added with it. When I have heard folks say it will wake up your truck, I had no idea until I started driving it. Completely different truck. Thank you for supporting this equipment and making this high value upgrade a smooth one. I definitely am spreading your name out there.

John, I'm a big thumbs up on your team overall. Very pleased with the level of support prior to, during, and after the changes I made. The number one differentiator between your team and others is the ability to pretty quickly get a live person on the phone and if needed for them to remote into the laptop connected to the vehicle. There were a few issues, but quickly addressed and or your guys confirmed for me what was happening and that all was well and as expected. Good work by all! A+ so far! Thanks Chris

Mike

Moyers

Packages arrived and in good shape. When I had any questions someone would follow up with an answer. My RaceMe Ultra was easy to install and had no problem with the EGR delete kit. I did have a problem with my pipes due to the bend in the pipe that replaces the muffler. Only 2 ways I could put it. The bend up or down would not let me hook up my hanger mounts for support.

Geoffrey

Product was great. Easy installation. Great improvement over stock.
