Default Sold/Traded the V1

It was a sad day but i ended up making out pretty good on the deal! In trade I got a 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T W/Kennebell and full exhaust 38,000 miles plus cash.
I also picked up a 2008 Chevrolet Duramax Longbed Crew Cab Loaded the same day.
Cant wait to start modding the Coupe!

Before you start modding the 12, i suggest you get that duramax breathing correctly with something along these lines. Because 2 turbos is not enough.

Did you get the edge cts race edition? If you run straight pipe from the turbo, and delete the DPF you will need something to modify that aspect of the tuning which the regulats edge cts does not do. Should be a fun truck just don't set the power level too high until you get the trans built. I ran an edge cts race for a year or so and the thing worked great and was awesome as far as guages go, start thinking about efi live tuning down the road though.

I bought the CTS mostly for the gauges! Do you run the 5 position EFI Live? I don't think the CTS for LMM can save and change EFI live tunes right?
Thanks keith

The cts is great for guages, but you cannot swap dsp5 tunes through the cts on an lmm. With an lmm you need a separate dsp5 switch. I've been running EFI Live for a while now and it's great, I just need to find somewhere local than give me an actual dyno tune. Transgo Jr, is a great mod for these things, ringing in at a hundred bucks and change you can't beat the protection it offers the transmission.
