For the last six to eight months, I've been talking to Eric @ Innovative Diesel about tunes for the 6.7. I'm a really antsy person and usually have mods sitting in my basement before I've even purchased the vehicle -- that should give you some perspective. When I initially spoke to Eric, he told me it wouldn't be too long until he'd have some tunes released. Well, it took longer than expected for various reasons -- mostly fine tuning, tweaking and working with SCT.
Last week I ordered the S&B intake from ID and Eric told me they were going to have them out within the next week. Last night I noticed on their web page that they'd released the tune and I called first thing this morning. Turns out that SCT had delayed the shipment yet again but they were supposed to receive them today. Well, Jamie called me this afternoon and told me I could come down and pick up my tuner. It was the moment that I had been waiting for, for what seemed like an eternity.
After my short little road trip down to ID, I met Jamie and Ted. They were extremely helpful in answering my questions as well as filling me in on a few details about the tunes. Due to my inability to be patient for anything, I loaded the tune in the parking lot of ID - it didn't take more than 10 minutes to do the whole thing. Due to the extremely wet weather we've had here, I chose to run it on 'street' as opposed to 'performance'.
My initial impressions...
Drive-ability is second to none. The truck starts, idles and drives like stock. Seeing as that this is my daily driver, I didn't want to have any issues with drive-ability. The trans tuning is flawless and its smoother than stock. The truck pulls hard and just keeps pulling. After talking to Eric about drive-ability, he told me that the 6.7's are built well and that I had nothing to worry about. The gas mileage has improved even though all these tunes are DPF-ON. This is something that impressed me as I've been a bit disappointed as of late because my gas mileage was in the crapper. I do mostly city driving and put on about 25k miles a year, just to give you a bit of perspective on how much I drive the truck. Overall, the truck has only gotten better. The tunes are smooth and tweaked perfectly -- you wouldn't even know it was tuned, it's that smooth. Couldn't be happier with the customer service from Eric and the team at ID. Great guys to deal with and look forward to giving them more business in the future.
