Tough crowd... Very little background info on why they feel its a bad choice or constructive information but lots of negativity to share..

Since you mention GDE in the quote below:

As far as I know there are 5 tunes (Celtic, EocDieselUSA - Reckless, GDE, Sofa Tune, & EcoDiesel Owners Canada) and only 4 of these have delete tunes.

That would be better worded with there is only one company selling a street legal tune (GDE), the others are illegal. I would also add that the GDE tune is faster than your tune of choice and also has cleaner engine oil for better longevity. Carry on.

To clarify, except those that have your earlier deleted tunes in their truck from before you were forced to stop selling it right?

I dont doubt your tunes are great as I think I have one of your older tunes in my truck and its great but your statement kinda sounds like your degrading the deleted tunes as inferior now that you cant sell them anymore. It kind of stands to reason theres more possibilities tuning wise with a deleted truck or is that not true?

btw I have almost 3,000 miles on my new to me truck since I changed the oil and the oil does infact still look great but my truck is deleted which im told also has a big impact on this as the soot is not being pumped back into the intake..

In my opinion, people like the high HP tunes but know high EGT usually accompanies these tunes when towing. SOTF gives the best of both worlds. High HP options when not towing, and manageable EGT with lower HP tunes when towing.

This is exactly what my nephew does on his older cummins ram with a handheld tuner.

Initial impressions:

Finally got my ECU back and drove the truck a good bit today. This is a very good tune. I got the stage 1 delete tune and there is very little smoke. I have not gotten information on his transmission tune yet. The below figures are with the stock factory transmission tune. The only issue I have had is that the "DPF filter is nearly full" is showing up in the instrument cluster. I disconnected a sensor and that is supposed to fix the problem after I get the fault code erased. Not any instruction or guidance prior on what to disconnect but he does respond to texts.

0-60 = 6.68, 1/4 mile = 14.82@91.84

Much faster than Reckless's tune .
Boost is stable at cruise and there is no turbo flutter at all.
I think I will start a separate thread on the MR Tune Review instead of having it under this heading.

You still have the filter and such in the stock exhaust with this tune? pardone my ignorance but coulding this message be coming up because the tune is in fact plugging up the exhaust much faster with that "smoke" since I would have to think the exhaust on this deleted/tuned truck would not be as clean? And wouldnt the issue just continue to just get worse with the filter in there whether the sensor is plugged in and reporting it or not? I would think it would plug even faster since there is no catylist cycle to burn it out and clean it regularly? Maybe im missing something and am off base here.
Again I am no expert on this and even less knowlegeable than most on the DPF and exhaust setup because all that was removed from mine by a previous owner and it was sold to me this way from the dealer.
