“Modules” Boost Performance Of Any Size Diesel
“It’s like getting a $100 rebate for every $500 of diesel you buy,” says Gary Gavin, at Diesel Tunes Performance about the company’s diesel modules for most diesel light, medium and heavy-duty trucks. The company also has modules for tractors, combines, rogators, and many other types of farm equipment, as well as RV’s and motorhomes. There are also fuel saving modules for big rig trucks.“What makes our modules unique is that they boost power and fuel economy without raising exhaust gas temperatures (EGT’s) or risking your factory warranty,” says Gavin.
Chris Jernigan, Millsap, Texas, says, “I installed a Diesel Tunes chip on my 2004 Dodge 5.9 crew cab. It’s the third brand I’ve bought for this truck. I returned the other two because they didn’t work. I’ve tested this new module with GPS and cruise control, driving 60 miles on the highway at 65 mph, and the mileage went from 20.5 to 27.5. I’m totally satisfied.”

Powering Up Ag Equipment
“Our customers experience up to 30 percent power increases on Case IH, Deere and Cat- erpillar ag equipment,” says Gavin.
An engine control unit (ECU), also known as power-train control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM), is a type of electronic control unit that determines the amount of fuel, ignition timing and other parameters an internal combustion engine needs to keep running. It does this by reading values from multidimensional performance maps, using input values (such as engine speed) calculated from signals coming from sensor devices monitoring the engine. The Diesel Tunes module communicates directly with the ECM and sends recalculated sensor values to which the engine will adjust.
“Once our module is installed, it commu- nicates with your tractor or combine’s ECM to receive engine operation data. With this information it will provide increased power with improved drivability. This direct com- munication with the tractor’s ECM allows our module to also increase fuel economy and towing capabilities under any type of agricultural conditions. On average, we’ve found it will reduce fuel consumption 20 percent per day,” says Gavin.
Why Don’t Truck Manufacturers Use This Technology?
“Actually the Diesel Tunes chips are not doing anything truck manufacturers can’t do themselves by fine tuning their engines. Our product manipulates factory settings to produce a more optimal performance output and power curve by fine tuning stock set- tings with a precision tolerance. This is what makes us unique,” notes Gavin.
“Over the past several years manufac- turers have been substantially raising the horsepower and torque levels of their en- gines without changing the engine’s cubic displacement. They do this because they intentionally under-tune their engines to start with. As engine manufacturers increase horsepower, they also continue to move the optimal power curve further outside the driv- ing range. In fact, you would have to drive your truck as high as 3,100 rpm’s to actually get the advertised horsepower you paid for. Not only that, with the optimal performance curve out of reach at normal driving speeds, your engine is also robbed of precious fuel mileage costing you hundreds of unneces- sary dollars at the pump.
“The good news is that as the Diesel Tunes module manages your engine’s fuel delivery, the high-end horesepower torque curve is relocated to a usable 1,700 to 2,300 rpm’s. This enables you to not only tap into the power when and where you need it most, but also gives you impressive mileage improvements ranging from 10 to 20 percent. Best of all, because the Diesel Tunes module simply relocates the high-end performance to a usable low-end range, it never exceeds the manufacturer’s power train limitations or fuel rail pressure levels.”
Prices for Diesel Tunes Performance modules range from $499 for light-duty models to $649 for heavy-duty equipment. Free priority shipping.
