GDE tune review

where are you guys buying the spare PCMs from? Looks like the sort is discontinued and I want to get my hands on one ASAP. I know there was a long conversation on here about the PN and where everyone was ordering from I can’t seem to find it.
This is the correct PN

68256850AA?​

My truck has the stock PCM tuned..I'm out of warranty so I don't care.

I have not as of yet, but others on the RAM Comma Discord Server have and it works fine.

I ended up buying one. It's back ordered but I have a 1800 mile road trip I'm doing twice toward the end of the year so hopefully it's in by then. What software did you load?

I tried joining that discord but the link was expired.

I am running SunnyPilot's RAM Release C3. Just did a 2300 mile round trip with the Comma3 Driving 97% of the time.
If you just ordered, you will be getting a Comma-3x. I do have a couple of 3x mirror mounts printed that mount it to the DASM
cover instead of the Windshield. There is a video on Youtube with an overview of the install.

Thanks for the invites! I was actually thinking about designing 3d printed mounts myself so I guess I only need to do it for my wife's Kia.

The files are uploaded to the Discord Server (3D Printing) if you want to print your own.

You can buy a PCM from GDE.

When I was at GDE getting my PCM reflashed because of the Dealer "unflashing" it.
They wanted $600 for one. I got mine for about $230 Shipped. It was hard to find
on the seller's website, but a direct link from another member got me right to it.
That is probably why they had some..

If I purchase the spare PCM from GD,E will I have to have it cloned and then sent back to them?
Comment you're asking is from 2023. GDE now has cloud based tuning available negating the need for 2 PCMs.

Far easier and more convenient.

I chatted with GDE and I will have to send them my ECM for them to load the patch file on it. After that they will send me the ECU back, I will install it along with the bypass cable and then will be able to tune it. I spoke with them over DM in another forum, maybe I should call and speak with someone there.

I would wait a little bit. They're about to release an updated tune this summer some time that they're testing now. Results look good so far.

This is news to me. Any further info on this or link to discussions regarding the update?

Appreciate it.
 
I'm in!

I like the current GDE tune enough that I'm sure any improvement will be just as worthwhile.

Check out Facebook group Ecodiesel page for the differently abled and intellectually challenged. One of the main contributors just had it loaded and is testing for him. Also saw a post in one of the groups with some oil analysis from GDE with their testing so far. Seem to have got the fuel dilution and aluminum back in line.
 
No number posted for improvements. Think the main focus was taking care of some of the concerns from UOA's. They guy who posted said initially he's seeing improvement in MPG so hoping that holds true
