Its all in the tunes I am over 400 with my pmr's and 280k on the clock.

Our survey is not limited to trucks with PMRs. We are trying to find out what caused the majority of engine failures in the past five years or so. The survey is very detailed, so we're looking at many different possibilities.

ohh okay makes sense

Bill is going to start working on a write-up regarding what caused so many engine failures over the past several years; however, you are still encouraged to fill in the survey if you have experienced this yourself! Please remember that we will not be providing your personal information to anyone else unless you give us permission. In fact, at this point, we don't foresee a reason to share it with anyone else -- period.

We are still trying to decide when and where Bill's analysis will appear. We certainly don't want to be accused of bashing anyone when we're just supplying objective facts. As soon as we make a decision, we'll let everyone know where they can find it.

again to everyone who has taken the time to provide us with some much needed data!

It’s great that you have designed this analyzer. Technology is so cool! It’s a step in the right direction for finding out what we attempted 2 years ago with Dennis’s engine failure survey. We would like to add, if all parties are willing, any of our chips questioned for accuracy to also be tested with our Engine Analysis Equipment. This will give 2 data points, one mathematical and one physical analysis. At that time we can compare the processes to make sure we are testing the same data points to obtain the data accurately.

We feel by offering our test equipment to the research it will complement the analyzer data due to the analyzer only seeing what points are inputted and the EA equipment pulling data that is induced.

We hope that this will encourage other companies that use special testing equipment to create and test their programming to also join in this analysis.

All I can say is that I have had Jody's DP tuner in my 02 for that last couple years now and it's great. No problems. I regularly tow 28K total weight without a problem. Yea, I know it's a little of the GVWR, but that's life. Best truck I've ever owned!!!!
