cat C-15 tuning?

[diesel53]

Does anyone know of any tuners for big trucks, C-15 cat motor specifically?

They're one of the best, what model of c-15 is it?

 

[diesel53]

the non-acert model...

Diesel Rx has a fuel economy module for that engine.

I just looked at PDI but damn the prices are crazy, but then again i am only comparing to what we do with our trucks and EFILIVE.

Nothing to do with a c15, but i put a chip in my grandpa's rv with the c9 acert. Made a huge difference over stock in pulling steep hills while he is traveling, with about 1.5 - 2 mpg better

Any idea what brand? 1.5 to 2 mpg would be huge if feasible in a hauling truck

Price a bullydog module for the c-15....lol. pdi is essentially efi live for the big boys, my boss used to have a pdi tuned MXS (acert) that got 6 mpg pulling 105,000

Do you know what tune he was running?

 

[Mr.T]

I don't, I can ask him though.

If you could, and if it is worth 2800 haha

 

[Mr.T]

He said he was running the stage 1 tune only, it paid for itself in 4 months in fuel savings, but keep in mind this was an acert in a 379 exhd, the 6NZ may be different. What are the specs on the truck and what does it haul?

 

[diesel53]

what is the difference between acert and non? I thought the normal C-15 had less emissions and was the better of the two. Hauls produce, 80,000 usually.. Truck is a 2003 379 peterbilt..

 

[Mr.T]

The acert is the twin turbo engine, and yes, the 6NZ is the better one of the two. With only 80k gross you should see a substantial gain in power and economy.

 

[diesel53]

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it... I think we will go that route.

Google Pittsburgh power they do some nasty tuning for big rigs!

 

[Mr.T]

Pittsburgh power is another really good one, I forgot about them

 

[diesel53]

Any input on which is best feel free to chime in.. My dad is an advocate of PP but has not ran any of their tuning..

 

[Mr.T]

Pittsburgh power is a plug and play box, pdi is custom tuning.....

Does it have a 10 speed or 18. If it has an 18 you can get cat to put a 550 hp heavy haul tune in it.
