What do you use your truck for? If you're like most, probably a little bit of everything, from hauling, work, daily driving, and some fun on the weekends. So, why not add tuning that maximizes the performance of your truck for everything you do with it? The SPADE delivers just that!

The SPADE series (Standalone Programming And Diagnostic Equipment) delivers the highest quality tunes on the market available in a simple to use OBD style flash tool. The tunes represent the best in driveability, reliability, and power. The SPADE system ships preloaded with proven and reliable tunes that's ready to plug in and deliver power for your Duramax, no matter what you specifically use your truck for.

LML SMART EGT CONTROL: Duramax Tuner's LSP (Switch-on-the-Fly) Tuning includes a Smart EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) Control feature. In short, this feature will automatically reduce power output as EGT's start to reach a dangerous point.

• Protect your LML from catastrophic failure caused by high EGT's
• Seamless feeling while active, no massive loss of power
• Utilize factory installed EGT probe in the down pipe
• Available with the LML SPADE or e-mailed LSP tuning
• Previous LML Tuning customers can get a tune upgrade to include this feature

1. How often does the truck go into regen? Our experience has been that there are 2 common triggers for regen. The truck will initiate regen once it reaches 44 grams of soot in the trap or travels ~700 miles since the end of the last regen. Whichever of these events occur first will start a regen. The regen seems to last until the soot load goes below ~10 grams or so and the driving conditions no long promote regen.
2. How long does it take to regen? Our test trucks average about 1 mile per gram of soot. So if the DPF is at 44 grams, and regens down to 5, it generally takes about 40 miles. Of course it'll take longer if the cycle is interrupted.
3. How quickly does soot accumulate? It depends on usage. On the highway, it may be 1 gram every 25-30 miles. Mixed driving might be closer to 20 miles, and of course on the dyno things move a little faster. The weird thing is that the counter jumps quickly between 1-10 grams (maybe one gram per mile), counts slower from 10-19 grams (10 miles/gram), and then seems to count from 20-up much slower (20-30 miles/gram)
4. How much extra fuel does regen take? My best guess comes from the mileage adjustment I see under steady state operation. For instance. My trip this weekend averaged 19.7 MPG mixed over 700 miles. The truck entered regen at 700 and regen-ed for 40 miles. At the end of regen the DIC showed 19.2 MPG. If I'd done the 740 mile trip without regen at 19.7 MPG I would have used 37.56 gallons. At 19.2 MPG, I used 38.54 gallons - a difference of about a gallon or 2.6% more fuel.
5. Does tuning affect regen frequency? Of course it does. The tune needs to be clean for the regen frequency to be kept in check. Our tunes are as clean or cleaner than stock. This 515HP tune has managed 700 miles between regens during road tests. Even driving the truck aggressively seems to have very little affect on the soot counter. The early tunes I tested on dyno seemed to load the soot trap very quickly on the higher HP settings (superchips/HS/Hypertech). If driven reasonably, they intervals weren't noticeably longer - but if hot-rodded you could expect the soot counter to move quickly.
6. What kind of Mileage can I expect? Mixed driving can mean many different things to different people. With that said, a single wheel truck can generally manage 16-18 MPG mixed on stock tires with a reasonable driver. On the highway, MPG numbers as high as 23 MPG can be achieved at cruising speeds near 60MPH. As speed increases past 70 MPH, mileage closer to 20/21 is the norm. Colder temps will hurt mileage, especially if the truck is short-tripped.
