6.7 Tuning without delete?

[trevor1030]

Hi all i placed an order for a 2021 Ram Limited 2500 6.7, i am super excited to get it! It will be my first diesel truck, i come from the car scene. Anyways i was looking at engine mods and i know that the 68rfe can only handle so much, i was wondering if its possible to tune a ram 2500 without doing a delete and gain some power? My main reason would be since its will become a daily driver i do not want it to be loud with a delete. But my plans powerwise was to gear near the HO 6.7 cummins as far as power. Is this possible or a waste?

Thanks in advance and sorry if newbie questions.

Definitely doable. Your truck, your money, your choice. Tons of aftermarket bulletproof mods for the rfe. Power is money.

This thread has some discussion about emissions on tuning

DPF on Tuning

I am looking to tune my 2020 but it looks like there is not a lot of info out there about the people that do it. On the list so far is Firepunk and Calibrated Power. I have read a lot about CP but not much about FP but looks like they have been doing this for a long time also. Just trying to...

As you are looking at tunes...you may see Optimal Welding as being a great tune. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't...I got it only to learn (per Optimal Welding) it's only beneficial if you also remove/replace the exhaust. That wasn't part of my plan and doesn't seem to be disclosed anywhere...and even though their order form asked for existing mods for which I only listed cold air intake...they made no mention of it but were happy to take my money.

Why don"t you drive it first and see if it has enough juice for you before you spend your money on tuners that may void your warranty on a $ 25,000 engine . Or you can wait till Banks or others come out with a tuner that is compliant .

Agree.

As a daily driver, without a load, I doubt you'll feel a power difference between the two trucks save for the trans shifting.

IOW, the HO, and I think also the Aisin, shines when you put a load behind it.

I'd say I agree as well as far as power difference... I have a 2019 Ram 2500 Laramie and I only added the throttle booster from BD Power. Aside from maybe a cold air intake, that's all I need to be the quickest/fastest on the road. At least the way I drive in DFW haha

 

[MrANDR3W]

Speaking of that - anyone have a suggestion for intake???

Save your money. Snake oil. The stock airbox flows more air than you'll ever need and the factory filter will provide best performance and protection.

Banks Power will have some options in the Spring

deleting will give you additional hp to the wheels. tuning the rfe will get it to the ground better

Might be snake oil, but my S&B sure does make it sound better
