I got rid of my f250 and bought a 2018 eco since my trailers have gotten smaller. I wish I would have done this sooner. My best tank turned 32 mpg /800 miles- we were on a family trip to Colorado. Rides better than a Cadillac too! My 6.7 f250 had great power- but this truck has it beat in every other category.

Btw. If you got the AEM tune and experienced pedal lag, there is a newer AEM update released late December that is finally making its way to the dealers. Once I got this installed it fixed the pedal lag.

Thought the new version was suppose to be available in December '19?

I haven't gotten it yet as I haven't found out exactly how im going to preserve my tuned status as of yet.

There are fewer and fewer shops that will do tunes and deletes since the feds are cracking down on it.

The Diesel Brothers were just fined 850k for modding engines.

I got it at Myles Dodge in Castroville TX. See Josh in service department. It’s much better and safer to drive now that completed.

First off I want to say Thank You to Patrick for pointing me to Josh in Castroville. Made an appointment and dropped my truck off for an AEM update. While there they did the EGR update also. Picked my truck up late Fri afternoon and runs great, especially compared to what it ran after the first update. On Sat I took my duck boat to Kerrville to fish Flat Rock lake. About 35 miles from home the check engine light came on. Truck was running great and all the gauges were fine so went on to Kerrville. Everything was stil fine so drove it home. The next morning I cranked it and the light was gone. Have talked to a couple of people that say this is normal on an AEM reboot. Overall I am very happy with the update and especially the service Josh provided.

I deleted mine with GDE ECU. Never had an issue. Honestly it was the best truck I ever owned...this F-250 is giving it a run for the money but Ram gets such a bad rap and builds a really nice truck. Dang emissions are just trash for modern diesels.

The emissions systems suck, egr is terrible, especially when you find out that they sacrifice mileage and cleanliness of the tune to make it sound quieter. I’d wager a. AST majority want more noise all want better mileage and less soot.

My ecodiesel is still rolling at just shy of 150,000 miles. My brother brought home a 2024 3500 duramax yesterday, I told him to get a Cummins but that’s what he wanted. See how it goes his last duramax was a good truck, but pre dpf def etc.
