I would like to see a 2 speed rear end for these trucks about a 4.88 and then about 3.23 talk about some low end grunt and a high speed low rpm gear!!!
You do realize that a 3.23 would be excessively useless right? Hell, 6th gear is even pushing it as far as keeping the rpms in the sweet spot until your at/above 70 mph.
Likely but we still don't know to what extent. All I know is I wont be the first in line to try it out given my poor experience with the current emissions systems on these trucks.
On a side note. I would love to see a joint venture with VW. Zero emissions during EPA testing and an emission systems that automatically deletes itself once it leaves the factory
ONe thing I've never quite understood is if its so easy for these EFI Live tuners to get an extra 100-150 reliable ponies out of the current LML motor why is a whole new Duramax platform needed to bump what 50HP/50-100ft-lbs?
I guess what I will be most curious to see on the 17' is if they continue with the CP4 pump or have something better in the works.

Because those tunes that throw 150 hp at these trucks aren't safe for the truck when it's being used as designed. I know wild concept... The trucks designed for heavy towing...
Denso's common rail fuel pump isn't bad either from what I recall. If memory serves, it has significant output over a cp4, I'll see if I can find the literature about it.
I personally haven't heard or experienced leaking piezo injectors, but that could be a reason too.
Yeah, no more cp4.2 either. I'm thinking it'll be a Denso hp4 pump. Aluminum casing with hardened steel sleeves similar to the cp4.2. Literature is all over the place in terms of pressure, consensus is 29k psi; but, I've read up to 36k in usage with Volvo diesels.
