I'm not sure if I will need their services. I would prefer to not "modify" my 2015 Pete ISX BUT I may have to. I'm going to be doing a fair amount of PTO time.
Thanks in advance

You need to see one of the gentlemen that Rawze mentioned above. You take that truck to the oil field with a bad tune, which is more than likely what you will get at that Montana outfit, and you may as well throw a Molotov cocktail into the cab of the truck right now and just walk away.

I lived in Fairview MT for a spell, and I believe I know the outfit your dealer is speaking of, well I do. This was a couple of years ago, but everyone doing this work was using the Puke Dick Inc butcher shop tune. I would imagine it is no different today. I have a tune from HERE, Rawze.com, it has been roughly 3 or 4 years running it without issue, Rawze and Unilever helped out. No overheating, no crazy exhaust temps, no oil consumption, no derates, no more CEL. It runs just like an old oil burner should. The rest of the truck, that is another subject for another day.

Give Unilever a PM, you will need an Inline 5 or 6 reader and a laptop with the software. You can get the Inline with software from eBay, order one of the Hong Kong models, you will have it in a couple of days. PM Unilever and go from there, he is just North of you. Close enough you may want to go visit him. If you do this, tune your truck, which I would highly recommend if you are going to be in the patch, you will need a Pyrometer and a Turbo Boost gauges. Good luck!
