PDI Big Boss Tuner On Cummins ISX15 - All You Need To Know

[@intelligence0321]

You've answered all my questions in one video. Outstanding information. Thanks for your time.

[@truckingandfixing]

I am glad it helped! 😄

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel

[@truckerdanvideos]

So 4 years later, what are your impressions? Did you try the economy tune and could you tell a difference?

[@Elhajmalikshabazz]

Thanks 🙏🏾 this allowed me to do parked regen. Hopefully it clears derate

[@badguy2419]

Yea! I can see usefulness in this, especially with dpf and scr monitoring. Thx for video, going to look in depth at different tuners.

[@truckingandfixing]

Thanks for the comment!

[@kenmeinke2753]

Great video. Is the manual regeneration process as simple as getting to the diagnostic menu and starting the regeneration by pressing the button.

[@aliamir8870]

thanks man I learnt a lot from your videos

[@truckingandfixing]

You are welcome

[@jamessurplus8988]

Tried to set up my gauges the way you did. I have no SCR temp in option. Guess I'll call PDI

[@RealMC77]

Hey Ryan, Hope all is well. Years later, how do you feel about the PDI Tuner now? Have you installed the Exhaust and Intake Manifold? Which one is best, the dealership HP/Torque upgrade or PDI Tuner?

[@aj44ish]

Glad to see that your video is not inverted. Every time I watched the video off your phone I thought you were driving in the UK. LOL. Keep up the great videos and tell the Mrs that you lost her camera and keep using it. 😂😂

[@truckingandfixing]

Yea, i don't think that would go over too well, lol. I think we found a way to not invert my phone camera, so we'll try that out soon. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@TheMacronical]

To get the 15% increase PDI advertises, it seems like you need the exhaust & intake manifold for the ISX15/X15. Is this impression correct?

[@raysoicey]

Ok do the computer still has to be hook up for the speed limiter cause if not its a hell of a investment

[@hd93scooter]

Excellent information 👍✌️

[@Six8son]

Hey Ryan, Thanks for the video. How about the PDI Tuner lite version? Cummins ISL13

[@truckercarlson9081]

Thanks for the video. Got a question for you about regens. What is the benefit of doing a parked regen vs a regular regen that your truck starts automatically rolling down the road? I've read on forums that parked regens don't blow the stuff out as hard so are worse for your aftertreatment? Thanks man, love your videos!

[@truckingandfixing]

Thanks for the comment and question. As far as my understanding, a parked and active (driving) regen are basically the same process. The main difference is that a parked regen will consume more fuel to achieve reaction temperatures that will break down the soot. The main benefit (in my case anyways) of doing a parked regen is that it completes its process uninterrupted. My truck typically starts doing active regens at the most inconvenient times, such as when I'm pulling into a shipper, going doing a street with 25 traffic lights, stopping for fuel, etc. So in those cases, the regen will stop, and it will try to finish when you start moving again. My truck is almost impossible to downshift while in an active regen, so if I notice it trying to do regens often, and getting interrupted, I do a parked regen, to kind of reset it. Once I do a parked regen, it will do active regens in shorten durations, and that's less inconvenience for me while driving.

Which one do i get same as yours

Hello Ryan Thanks For Information 😊 One Question My truck Give me Problem With Performance stage Two Times Region’s With in one trip Any idea ???

Do you run any fuel additive to help keep your system clean?

[@Elhajmalikshabazz]

How do you clear fault codes. They never delete off the truck.

Does the Bosch 250 clear the derate of emisions?

[@RicardoGonzalez-ii3nx]

I seen your other videos my question is why have the PDI big boss when You have Bosch 200 scanner

[@truckingandfixing]

PDI is an engine tuner. It has more features and functions than the Bosch scanning tool

can this be used on a 2019 international lt with cummins engine ? it only got 400 hp

Can this tuner bypass an ecm that’s Password locked?

[@truckingandfixing]

Should Backdoor the password.

[@davinderpalsingh2828]

Just got one tuner from PDI after installing it on my brand new 389 i got my check engine light and the transmission light on idk what’s wrong called pdi guy and said something is wrong with my truck i think i got scammed after spending that $2500

[@MrPipe60]

Great audio... very educational vid

[@truckingandfixing]

Thanks!

[@AndyGor2023]

Will this work on a Volvo with Cummings X15 engine?

[@KahmannMan]

Do you know if I buy this for my current truck then decide to trade that truck in say a year from now could I use it on new truck as well assuming it’s still a Cummins or would I have to buy a new one? I’ve heard it can lock to ecm but I’d think there should be a way to reset it right?

[@truckingandfixing]

You have to pay PDI $650 to factory reset it to be able to use it on another truck.

[@sukhs1317]

Great video! What temperature the sensors should be operating at when driving on highway? And what temperature should the sensors show when doing park regen? I have the same engine isx 2250 built in 2012. Can I use this unit on other engine makes? Thanks.

[@truckingandfixing]

500-600f driving, 1000-1200 during regen. It depends on the conditions, load and pull over the hill etc…

[@sukhs1317]

@@truckingandfixingThanks! I have one more question, I'm not sure exactly what its called, I think its called HPK levels or something simular to that, I was told they should always be lower than 3 pionts? Can you look into these term?

[@serpentrae]

how much more turbo boost did you gain

[@Daniel-z2j2v]

Just installed mine and like it so far. But for some reason it doesn’t have to regen feature. Need to call and find out why

[@truckingandfixing]

Mine does have it. Hope they can figure it out

[@geraldbielss8730]

Do you run eld? What kind of truck? I keep having issues with mine. Keeps saying buss can fuse. It’s worked for a total of maybe 4 weeks out of over a year. Been on line with tech support no luck

I know this was a year ago but I have a 579P and it’s an automatic I have a bad knee With this be good for an automatic truck

[@intelligence0321]

How long did it take to download the 3 tuner flash programs? I've had this connected to my phone for a long time and the tuner only reads at the top, "checking filename KW101022.03"

[@truckingandfixing]

It took me about a hour to upgrade the system

[@chrise3801]

Good video for the pdi,does it increase your egts at all? I bought the bullydog tuner but it makes my egts go sky high on my Cat

[@truckingandfixing]

I have noticed higher regen temps since doing my last update, running at about 1050 to 1150F, but it seems it does shorter regens, which is good because my truck is almost impossible to downshift when in a regen.

[@jennifercrivellone8064]

Hey Ryan its john, quick question when you look at the load board and you see 2.50 a mile is that before or after landstar takes thier 35% ?

[@truckingandfixing]

Hi John, the rates on the load board will be the full rate Landstar is charging. If you see a $2.5 a mile load, you will be roughly $1.70, depending on fsc rate at the time and accessories that might be paid at a higher rate.

What’s you pyrometer get pulling donner or any other hard pulls ?

[@coreysanborn1574]

Hey Ryan great video as usual. What do you use for a gps? I need one badly!!!

[@truckingandfixing]

Quite honestly, I use my android phone with Google maps, and I get an updated motor carrier atlas every year. I plan a route with my phone, then check all the roads with my atlas for restrictions and low clearances. I get the most up to date closures, wreck, and traffic info that way. You just have to be careful and use common sense with it, if there is a road that looks like you shouldn't go down, i just look around for alternatives before I get into trouble.

Thanks for the comment!

[@danielclark5049]

As of today how do you like the tuner are you fully satisfied? Do you see a big difference or is it a scam?

[@truckingandfixing]

I still remain neutral on it. It doesn't provide the value that worth the price of $2,000, the value it provides probably worth $500 for me.

[@ThatTrucker]

Will this undelete the truck?

[@truckingandfixing]

I don’t believe so!

[@9Fingers88]

2 months later. What are your thoughts on this?

[@truckingandfixing]

To be honest, I wouldn’t spend $2,000 for it, it worth $500 in my opinion. If you need to purchase something for tax purposes, you can certainly get it. It came with the truck when I bought it.

[@Nmoney702]

How do you keep the PDI and ELD connected at the same time

[@carlosarroyo5262]

They sell splitters. Keeps the eld plugged in and has a nother plug for scan tools or tuners.

[@9Fingers88]

Also that mount, is it a 3m type adhesive or do you have to drill a hole in your dash?

[@truckingandfixing]

It is 3m

[@AL19886]

my engine is a cummins ISX15 it has 425 HP, how much can it go up with the PDI? does that affect the engine?

[@truckingandfixing]

It can go up 15%, and it won’t affect the engine

[@AL19886]

@@truckingandfixing when you said is coming up 15% is like 500 HP or 475 ??

[@truckingandfixing]

PDI advertises in average it can go up about 15%. It is not exact.

[@9Fingers88]

Do you think the lite version is worth getting? The $2400 one is a little steep

[@truckingandfixing]

I have not scene the lite version, so I would not be able to give you an honest opinion between the two. As for the model that I have, I'm still not really sure if it is worth the price. I really have not noticed any mpg gains, but possibly a little more power. I'm thinking about adding their intake manifold down the road and see how they work together.

[@trilogy3x]

Will this work on a truck that’s governed by a company?

[@KahmannMan]

Long as you don’t tell em about it 🤣

[@Blackops6_aj]

how do you like it so far? And are you still running power tune or econ tune...

[@truckingandfixing]

Still running on power tune. I like the extra power with the power tune! I tried eco for a half day and went back!

[@Blackops6_aj]

Did you get intake manifold also installed. ? Or just running tune only.

[@pskhosa2]

it's use only one truck or use for repair shop

[@truckingandfixing]

It is used only for one truck. It is wired to the truck.

Does the pyrometer gauge work on you truck?

[@truckingandfixing]

Yes, but I have my center Guage set on boost right now. Their are about 50 different sensors you can have on screen, but only 5 at a time at most.

[@austinfradette5514]

[@volvlo]

Can you open speed ??

[@truckingandfixing]

Yes

[@timmay2k]

Will this work on paccar mx13? I use the scan gauge

[@truckingandfixing]

I believe PDI only has CAT, Cummins, and Detroit currently.

[@DasMurky]

They now support paccar

[@robertallred2368]

I like it, but I think it plugs into the same spot that I plug in my ELD.

[@jjgr661]

There’s Y connectors for that situation.

[@Stuartthehobbytrucker]

Do you have the intake manifold as well or just the tuner ?

[@truckingandfixing]

I just have the tuner right now. I was actually talking to rep at PDI a few weeks ago about the intake manifold, I will probably buy one when freight gets a little more stable after this covid19 thing, I've just been sitting on some of my cash to get through any slow downs right now. Thanks for watching!

[@Daniel-z2j2v]

@@truckingandfixing I put the intake manifold on mine don’t really notice a difference other than being a little louder at my air cleaners lol. Was thinking about getting this tuner but still debating. I’d like to see any mpg gains on economy mode.

[@berniesands6201]

You can't change your gear ratio with that can you? Isn't your gear ratio your rearend/ differential gearing?

[@truckingandfixing]

You cannot change the gear ratio with PDI. You have to physically change the gears in the rearend.

[@Railfan90]

It’s to change the calibration in the computer so the speedometer is accurate. If you change gear ratios or tire diameter it will make your speedometer read high/low unless you recalibrate it.

[@pito7497]

thanks for the video I love it...... I would like to buy one where can I buy one?

I got mine direct through PDI, www.pdidiesel.com, there are a few other retailers out there online with prices vary from about $2200 to $2400, if you Google PDI. They have this unit available for Cummins, Cat, and Detroit. Thanks for the comment!
