Re: New DD: Project DurRTay-D

I did not. I'm not too thrilled about it. It ends up costing around $1000. It's an entirely new ECU that is 'unlocked', and then a tuner will work with it. The 2015+ ECU's are just locked down so hard that the normal plug in tuner doesn't work. So then I have to swap in the stock ECU when I go in for warranty work. When I asked them about it being untraceable, their reply was a generic "I don't really see how they could trace it" which wasn't the definitive "NO" I was looking for. I found out it does absolutely nothing for the trans as far as better shifting. I found out it cannot disable AWD (for dynoing on a 2wd dyno for example). All it is is a basic engine tune. Just not worth $1000 for me, especially since they don't sound too confident that it is untraceable by the warranty nazi's. So it's pretty much completely off the table at this point. Next mod I'm looking at is running boards. But it'll be awhile for those.
