{Garbage-Tuning Box} on a X15

[Rawze]

I am really going to go out on a limb here and assume you are just simply that mis-informed for a moment.

-= otherwise, you are about to get yourself banned off my forum here for trying to push, or even suggest using that complete engine killing, big-name garbage, not worth putting in a damn lawn-mower, nonetheless a $40,000 commercial engine. Those tuning boxes and big-name places that you mention are the VERY WORST OF THE WORST THINGS, PLACES, AND GARBAGE PRODUCTS BIG-BELT-BUCKLE-DISEASE, PROMOTED TRASH THEM ALL!!!>..

Those tuning boxes and big-name companies are nothing but big-advertised engine killing trash, and they are the absolute worst of the worst of anything out there!. - YES.. they are really that bad!.

I hope your here to learn, and to get that s$it you just spewed in your first post out of your head, because around here we do not promote not tolerate people who abuse their equipment with exactly the trash you mentioned there.

===============
GO GET yourself a cheap windows 10 laptop for a few hundred $$$, and an inline-6 adapter kit off amazon, ebay, maybe obd2.com.. or somewhere else for about $300 or less ... and that is all anyone needs to be able to properly troubleshoot their engine, check codes, have their engine program looked at or changed, etc... and is a more permanent solution and proper investment towards the longevity of their equipment.

==================

As far as power/torque goes ///... IT IS FAR, FAR CHEAPER TO RE-GEAR THE THE REAR ENDS IN THE DAMN TRUCK SO THAT IT CAN PULL THE LOADS MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN IT IS TO TURN THE ENGINE UP AS HIGH AT IT CAN GO, BY FAR!!!...

HERE is the average of how what your asking about in terms of "more power" effects the average truck... this even before considering other engine life-span shortening factors...

* At 1650 ft-lbs torque, lifespan is easily around 1.1 to maybe 1.3+ Million miles ( or ~25,000+ hours ) before the head has to come off it for one reason or another.

* At 1750 ft-lbs torque, lifespan is usually around 900k - 1+Million miles ( or ~22,000 hours ) before the head has to come off it for one reason or another.

* At 1850 ft-lbs torque, lifespan is usually around 650k - 700k miles ( or ~16,000 hours ) before the head has to come off it for one reason or another.

* At 2050 ft-lbs torque, lifespan is usually around 550k miles ( or roughly 13,000 hours ) before the head has to come off it for one reason or another.

* Above those power levels.. exponentially, the lifespan is shortened.

NOTE: The overall Horsepower however, has far less effect on engine longevity than torque does. This means that bumping up the power a bit instead of torque, and then re-gearing the vehicle to be more suited for its needs and loads, is the proper solution to getting it to "pull better" at the end of the day.

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT IT TO LIVE BEFORE YOU DROP $25,000 - #35,000 in inframe kits!!?>
