We are all anxiously waiting, no ETA on the release.

it's strange to me that folks are even doing a 2nd gen swap on these.

Ok so im not the only one questioning why bother with the 2nd gen swap! The only reason the swap made sence in the early 4th gens is how bad the actuators were but the city actuator is still better than a non VGT turbo…. Hell if i could put a VGT on my 01 i would! much better than a fixed geometry

I got a 2nd Gen swap on my 14 2500. You have to trash the stock brake and I wanted one but didn't want to go back to a 4th Gen set up. So I bought a BD exhaust brake and have had nothing but issues since I got it installed.

Also, 2nd Gen swaps help lower EGT temps. Sounds good too.
 
Anyone hearing any info on if/when the tuning software will be released? I have been emailing tuner manufacturers directly for months with no luck..... On a positive note I believe they are still attempting to develop the software, hopefully they don't give up. Out of all of the trucks currently available to purchase I buy the one that's locked down :(. Emissions failure are common across all brands, people these days are not deleting for power but more for reliability.

Honestly, unless you're working as a rig welder or something where you're idling your truck all day, it's probably a non issue. The emissions systems on these newer trucks are way way better than they used to be. Just read through the forums. There are like 1 or 2 reports of emissions system failure?

I just can't see most shops wanting to do the work any more, and more and more places are getting shut down or fined heavily. I mean even flo pro got jammed up, and they are just selling the pipe.

I'm not saying people won't still do it, or that the tuning won't be available for the 22s, but man I'd be worried. I'd guess the only people willing to take the risk on tuning would be new guys that have little to lose. All the big names have basically disappeared except for a few here and there. I just see this stuff drying up quick.

Hopefully you'll find something, but man stuff is drying up.

Oh wow I feel dumb - I just realized the purpose of this thread - swapping turbo's...... I was totally under the impression people were wanting to swap the entire drivetrain from a 2nd gen in and couldn't figure out why they'd want to be so dumb!!! (only to realize I'm the dumb one.....) Carry on!

Spot on. I have a stock truck except 37's, level and a Banks Ram Air Intake elbow and am throwing P0402 codes. Likely caused by the ram but now my confidence is shattered when towing across state lines! I just want reliability like I had with my 5.9 and previous 6.7. Will exchange that for the warranty at this point. And it seems like a lot of folks are getting P0402 codes at around 10k-12k miles, which is where I'm at.
