I have your tunes all emissions intact of course. 2011 LML with your 520 pack . Just the other day I contacted you guys through EZlynk. After talking about certain things they said get some Data logs and send them to us . So I said what the Hell I will do all 5 tunes . Keep in mind they wanted Data logs from 30-70 mph full throttle. After doing all 5 tunes at full throttle from 30-70 soot went up from 17g to 28g . That’s average of 2.2 g . Guys that’s awesome and this was a great test as to what your claiming in this video. In my case it’s right in the money. Just wanted to share with you. Heber
Will you guys be updating your lml tunes with these awesome new advances? I have a 3/4 ton 2016 lml denali 6.6 (emissions compliant) and want to run the cleanest tune possible.
True but not all want to void warranty, not all can get their trucks to pass state test and not all dealers will trade in a deleted truck...even in a non test state. There's a place for everything. What you say is true no doubt.
@@mikz86ta1 then buy a new one when the warranty is off and leave it stock . By the time the warranty is done the damage is done your bearings have been bathing in soot you should see the difference between a deleted and non delete engine after 200 000 .but I do agree trucks are expensive I thought I would leave mine stock to until it was in the garage more then the road .
Love to buy new. Actually now is probably a good time for a GM. The 2019 prices should drop since the 2020 is unveiled. A Denali DRW (ours is SLT DRW) is $73k with a couple options which I like. Can't afford it right now. If a equivalent SLT DRW is mid-low $60k's and there's substantial money off for model clearance...maybe able to do it
@@mikz86ta1 for guys looking to keep there trucks stock that's the only way to go keep buying new I find it funny that guys think tuning is going to fix there problems .dpf is a filter it gets dirty overtime and eventually needs to be replaced it cant always be cleaned with a hotter tune. Lml guys I would be more worried about your cp4....
So a new duramax is only good until it hits 100,000 miles and then what, the emissions are in need of replacing? I should probably rebuild my lbz instead of buying a new truck?
It really depends on what is more important to you, power or comfort. If you want a nasty power number that is street driven, I might look at an older truck. If you can live with 500-550 RWHP with all the comforts of a new truck then go with a 2013 or newer.
I know this is an olderish video, so it might not be seen, but Im curious to know if there has been any more advancements in tuning to get an even lower soot accumulation percentage consistently? Like has there been tests where 0% accumulation is being achieved through multiple runs, in a stock power configuration or even a higher configuration?
I do mine every 20000 miles in my 2016 dodge Cummins, every time I do an oil sample aswell, it always comes back that the oil has atleast 20 percent life left
The soot is collected in the diesel particulate filter (dpf). When the soot reaches a high level it triggers a cleaning process called regen. All modern emissions systems now have a 9th injector that sprays fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (def) into the dpf chamber. The heat from the exhaust causes the fuel to self ignite and converts the def fluid into ammonia that binds with the soot and burns it off converting the waste into harmless nitrogen and water out the tailpipe. The process takes a while (20+ minutes) and after it's complete you're dpf filter is clean. If the dpf gets completely clogged (usually causes by a bad temp sensor or failed 9th injector) the dpf chamber has to be cut out and cleaned manually. Most diesel mechanic shops have a set price service for cleaning clogged dpf filters.
Thats not a good indication of daily driving though im still incredibly skeptical of increasing hp with emmisions on having an intimate knowledge of how they work i just dont believe it because be honest with the customer light daily driving is way worse for soot accumulation than when you are working it hard
I know this is nothing about this video but any lb7 owners out there? looking at a 03 lb7 Duramax with 370,000 kms injectors done 80,000 kms ago has an edge tuner on it wants 9500 for it saftied is it worth it?
Short Answer, it's always worth it to tune it. With our tuning we can confidently say the calibration is not going to cause increased soot production. As far as deletes, that is not something we support.
As always, great info guys thanks! I currently have a stock lml with a few upgrades as suggested by most (s&b intake, lift pump, etc) but get poor mileage and regen about every 200 miles (daily driver, commute is some highway some town driving). Any thoughts or suggestions on how that can be tested/adjusted/improved??? Would you be able to look at the data from my truck and apply corrections with your tunes? Thanks again!
Same boat here. LML, 166k, daily driver.....I get 13.2mpg on the DIC and close to 15+/- mpg on the DIC on trips. Mostly stock except AFE drop-in filter, PCV bypass. Lift Pump is next. Regen is less miles on mine...like 186
Had a 2013 LML tuned with Duramaxtuner...drove it 85k miles compliant on their tunes with no issues. Traded it in on a 2016 and bought their tunes again. Currently 72k miles on this one...again no issues. Truck regens about every 500 miles. Only other mod is a lift pump. Clean reliable power.
We did a lot of testing with the LML. On that truck, hard pulls or a heavy foot will definitely pick up soot quicker. The Regen time seemed shorter though.
Clean tuners are in a class of their own. Well done!!👍🏻👍🏻
Gotta be a record, Tim said "Ya" about 300x in 12mins! Impressive!
He might not be the next late night host but the guy can run a dyno like nobody's business.
Amazingly i have zero soot issue with my vp44 24v. Pulled a 300k mile muffler off and not even a little came out of it.
Nice to see what you can do with the right engine performance information.
nick is a top tier presenter. good dude, keep it up

Drink your beer every time he says ya...
Duramaxtuner
If Gale Banks taught us anything if you want large HP and clean burning diesel add tons of nitrous it will clean your exhaust right up.
And delete your warranty.
Rich Farfugnuven Right along with any tune.

My last regen was 10/22/18 lol. 2 weeks before was last DEF fill.
Can’t wait to bring you my 2013 dually 👍🏋️♀️🤺
Deleted my lml my oil is clean right up to next oil change .you want longevity get that emissions crap off your truck dont care what tune you have.

Michel Foshee it does not not void your warranty.
Any word in a new electrical DPF? I know GM has been issued a patent for it.
Lots of reading, but we haven't got our hands on one yet.

Tuning is maintaining this level despite the horsepower increases. Maybe one day we will see a 0% with enhanced performance-minded DPFs in the future.
I have a 2015 lml ltz z71, why does my truck perform BETTER during Regen? Regens about every 500miles ish
When you say it performs better, in what way? The only noticeable change should be a slightly elevated idle.
i change oil every 4000 km due to shitty emissions. the soot in oil is not good. this is also terrible for environment but better for the truck
I do mine every 20000 miles in my 2016 dodge Cummins, every time I do an oil sample aswell, it always comes back that the oil has atleast 20 percent life left
I'm new to diesel's, so how do you clean the soot from your exhaust system if it's clogged? Pull it apart?
The soot is collected in the diesel particulate filter (dpf). When the soot reaches a high level it triggers a cleaning process called regen. All modern emissions systems now have a 9th injector that sprays fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (def) into the dpf chamber. The heat from the exhaust causes the fuel to self ignite and converts the def fluid into ammonia that binds with the soot and burns it off converting the waste into harmless nitrogen and water out the tailpipe. The process takes a while (20+ minutes) and after it's complete you're dpf filter is clean. If the dpf gets completely clogged (usually causes by a bad temp sensor or failed 9th injector) the dpf chamber has to be cut out and cleaned manually. Most diesel mechanic shops have a set price service for cleaning clogged dpf filters.
Ok what additive should I add to the fuel?
Thats not a good indication of daily driving though im still incredibly skeptical of increasing hp with emmisions on having an intimate knowledge of how they work i just dont believe it because be honest with the customer light daily driving is way worse for soot accumulation than when you are working it hard
Any work going on for 3.0L LM2 DURAMAX??
So the towing tune how soon does the TC lock up compared to the oem tune?
Drinking game: yeah or yep = shot!
Enjoy 😜
Lol hell no. I would die of alcohol poisoning.
Video of the Dyno runs?
We included a clip of the dyno runs but watching the same truck on a dyno 12 times just didn't seem interesting enough to include in the video.
I know this is nothing about this video but any lb7 owners out there? looking at a 03 lb7 Duramax with 370,000 kms injectors done 80,000 kms ago has an edge tuner on it wants 9500 for it saftied is it worth it?
Talked about the l5p spot build up. What about the lml soot build up
Do the tunes for the lml keep soot build up same as stock or worst.
Soot accumulation for the LML is similar with our tuning. We spent a lot of time dialing in the smoke output on all of the platforms we support.
Does my 2004.5 LLY go through a regin cycle. How would I know. And should I us the soot PID on my CTS3.
Thanks from a old fart.
No sir your LLY doesn't regen. Your truck is pre DPF.
Just curious why not leave it stock? Seems to work really well as is. All warranties remain fully intact.
These trucks lack performance. That's the most common motivation for buying tuning.
@@Duramaxtuner Right….
Yeah.
Are you guys running lift pump?
LCNismo l5p has one from factory
LCNismo Don’t have to.
So is it better to tune the truck or not . Is it smart to do the full delete.
When u delete it's a must that you have it tuned
Short Answer, it's always worth it to tune it. With our tuning we can confidently say the calibration is not going to cause increased soot production. As far as deletes, that is not something we support.
Run water meth injection, my buddies truck has doubled the time in between regeneration of the DPF.
Interesting theory, we will have to see about testing it in the future.
As always, great info guys thanks!

2016 Denali here with their stealth stage 1 kit, run it in tune 5 all the time (expect for when towing) and I regen between every 600 to 700 miles.
That's promising! My biggest curiosity is if the regens can improve that drastically (500-700 miles) for me, or if I'd only see minor improvements?
Scott Fanello I will say this, a lot of times when I fill up, I add some Lucas Oil injector cleaner and when I forget to, it regens sooner...
How about soot in the 2011 LML . It adds collects quickly on mine less then 200 miles for sure . I have your 520 pack
We did a lot of testing with the LML. On that truck, hard pulls or a heavy foot will definitely pick up soot quicker. The Regen time seemed shorter though.
Delete the God dam thing problem solved
Take my money
Someone else count how many times he says yeah, I lost count.
They’re diesel tuners, not professional public speakers.
I actually watched the video twice and counted haha.. 61 times
@@Icutmetal oh, excuse me
Still don't tell you how to clean it
Tim ( Yup ) ( Yeah ) Funny good Video though
Yep yeah Yep Yep
Run jet fuel mixed with normal diesel it will clean it up and give you better fuel milage while running better all at the same time
^Not suggested.
Ernest Deitz Why on earth would you want to do that, and lose all the lubrication properties for your fuel system?
First 👍
🤦♂️
I am sure you provided a lot of information. No idea what it was. Say what you want to say, don’t dance around
