Ok you always here about drivers wanting their trucks turned up and things. But you need some kind of software to do it. Where do you get the program to do it and what else is needed?
Stupid Question but...

Think with all the new tec computer softwear you'll be hard done to find the softwear.
If you do manage to get hold of it you'll need a puter / laptop and cable to conect to the port within the truck similar to a diognostic lead used in workshops to check the sensors fitted.
best bet if you want it done get it done properly you may just save yourself $****'s

I don't plan on doing it by myself. I was just curious about the process ya gotta take. Ya know one of those ideas or things you have to figure out cause you can't stop thinking about it? Its on of them situations. I have searched allll over the internet to find the information or the name of the programs with no luck. Makes me sad LOL

It used to be relatively easy to turn up any engine. Now, since everyone has gone high-tech, you need the high-tech tools to do it. The least of which are the computer programs and chips that, as far as I know, only the dealers and service centers have access to. I doubt that you can even buy them anywhere. This is now the mfg. way of keeping everything within their warranty specs.. Might be able to get it done if you are in good with someone at a dealership or service center....Have An Awesome Day

The software in the on-board computer is not available as a retail product. Only certified mechanics and dealerships are permitted to obtain the software from the manufacturer.
The tune up of a rig's diesel motor is done on three main areas on the old mechanicals, and is done through the on-board computer on the eletronic controlled motors. The fuel system, turbo system and cam/crank timing are the three areas which are checked...and set if out of spec.
On both mechanical and electronic motors there is a leak test done on the ram air ducts. On the mechanical motors the fuel injection pump motor's access plate is removed and dials are used to check the fuel cervo setting and the rpm setting (you basically set fuel cut-off points on these two items.) On electronic motors this is done through the on-board computer. A motor's horsepower and rpm range is controlled through the amount of fuel allowed to be delivered through the pump motor.
The term "tune-up" is used, but it's more of checking the proper operation of these three areas on a diesel motor. The on-board computer diagnostic is not a tune-up, but a check of information retained within the computer retention file...and a resetting of those codes upon retrieval of the stored data.
Hope this answer your question.
