Crank it up if you can and jump on it. See what happens.most of these aftermarket tunes can really crank up the power, unfortunately the OEM transmissions installed are not rated.. there are lots of BAD things that can come from "cranking up".. reading about this, recommended no more than +50 HP without transmission high pressure pumps and programming mods to support , which is another rabbit hole to go down..

Black "Coal" isnt 100% sign of power. It is a sign of unburnt fuel, a dirty tune. Good tuning doesnt smoke like that. Actually very little smoke. It is good thing to not smoke coal, so to speak. That said many hot tunes do smoke black due to turbo not keeping up or extra fuel being used to help cool egt temps. So it is a 2 headed beast in many ways. My 06 had an aggressive Quadzilla tuning system when I purchased it. It made stupid power, pinged and shuddered and went like a train, rolling coal! Forget about looking in the rear view mirror. I removed it. Anarchy Diesel Phil wrote me custom tunes based on all performance mods done on truck. Wow. Power still there mostly, no smoke, pinging etc. Smooth n clean with safety parameters. Spool maxed at 38psi instead of 46psi. Egts defueled around 1350degrees. It was a good example of tuned correctly imop. Now I have 2020 cummins. I have no intention of tuning it. Why? It does great, 1000lb plenty of power. Quiet as church mouse.

On a recent trip to UT and back running highway speeds +5 averaged 26+ only needed 2 fuel stops between Winthrop and Payson UT with a 25 gal tank. Yes I am a happy camper with the results of the delete.

My dealer says there’s no way around it for them. They just take that off the cost of the trade in. If ya sell it privately, it’s not an issue. Been considering doing this to my ‘14 DuramaxI have an 06 duramax, I know it doesn't have the def bs on it but I ordered a straight pipe from alligator performance in Idaho, and installed the edge computer. Improved my mileage from about 11 to 15.5 towing, long drives I've gotten up to 18+.

I have a 15 Ram fully deleted that i did myself that is awesome. It's lifted 2.5 inches sitting on 35 inch tires getting around 21 mpg's on the high way downhill.
