Diesel truck owners demand reliability, performance, and longevity from their vehicles. Whether you're towing heavy loads, daily driving with a bit more power or pushing your truck to its performance limits, properly monitoring key engine parameters is crucial. Over the years, manufacturers have recognized this need, gradually adding more gauges to help truck owners stay within safe operating ranges. However, factory gauge clusters often lack essential metrics, leaving gaps in the data needed to protect your investment. This is where aftermarket gauges and monitoring systems become a major asset.

Adding power to your diesel, whether it be a Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax, can be a fun and rewarding experience. However, when it comes to upgrading an emissions in-tact truck options can sometimes be limited and results can often be underwhelming. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer with poor performance, complicated upgrades or the cost of removing your emissions components! Emissions in-tact custom tuning is a solution that will not only blow you away in terms of performance and ease of installation but it can also improve the performance gains from other aftermarket upgrades that may not be pulling their weight as they stand.
Unleashing Hidden Potential Without Compromising Emissions
Emissions In-Tact Custom Tuning is specifically designed to optimize the performance of your diesel truck while keeping all emissions systems fully operational. This means you can enjoy improved power, torque, and fuel efficiency without the need to remove or tamper with your truck’s emissions equipment.

How does Allison 1000 TCM Tuning help with towing?
TCM Tuning is the modification to the programming calibration of a Transmission Control Module (TCM). Ever since 2001 when the Duramax was first offered in the 2500 and 3500 GMC and Chevy HD truck it has been paired with the Allison 1000 transmission.
These trucks are designed for towing and if you use it that way, you can probably think of a few ways you would like your transmission to act differently. That is where TCM Tuning may be able to help.
Common Complaints About Stock Transmission Tuning:
- "When I try to pass and I am in 6th gear, it is very reluctant to downshift."
- "While merging on the express way it seemed to take a long time to get from one gear to the next. It's even worse with a trailer on."
- "Even with tow haul mode on the truck doesn't seem to shift well since I put these larger tires on."
