Lots of places do them. Google is your friend.....when it's not spewing a particular propaganda.

Have you already tried everything available in the Hydra library for your hex code and none work? What upgrades do you have that the canned tunes won't work? Have you reached out to any of the professional tuners?

i had received jelibuilt tunes a few years ago, but also been chasing a problem. Think it’s tune related. Long story short when the TC locks my truck loses and Boggs down. Have essentially put a lot of new parts and still does it. It’s Been at a shop for like a month now, thinking it’s a tune problem. Other than that there are zero problems or codes.

New KC300x stage 2 turbo (63/73)

Full force 205/30 injectors

Stage 2 AUS-TEX Trans

CNC Fab Stage 1 HPOP

24x14;8x170 on 37.5” Tires 240k psi Head Studs

FASS Titanium 220GPH

Mishimoto trans cooler

new idm and pcm

So did the tuned you have work at one time and were written for the upgrades you've listed, the major ones at least? If the tunes did work at one time and no major changes have been made I'm not sure how a tune would go "bad". It's just data, nothing to go bad. No moving parts and indefinite shelf life.. The chip can fail but not sure it could in such a way as to cause such a specific issue. Have you tried dumping the files on the chip and reloading the originals?

To be honest couldn’t tell you if they worked fully or ever noticed the bogging down. After getting the tunes, never really drove the truck long enough. Barely have driven it the last 3 years. The only thing that wasn’t included when I had the tunes, was the new idm 140v, new pcm and the stage 2 transmission. Haven’t tried anything with the chip, not really sure how to do that.
why I’m on here to see if someone that knows can get me tunes for my truck.

I had paid for custom and couldn’t tell you the difference. But to me they seem like generic tunes. “ 01 - Local File: TNAA42_30N_ MODIFIEDSTOCK-EMISSIONS.hcf

02 - Local File:TNAA4S2_30N_STRENUOUSTOW.hcf

03-LocalFile:TNAA4S2_30N_TOWPERFORMANCE.hcf

04 - Local File : TNAA4S2_30N _DAILYDRIVER.hcf

05 - Local File : TNAA4S2_30N_HOTSTREET.hcf

06 - Local File : TNAA4S2_30N_DRAGRIPPER.hcf

07 - Local File: NAA4S2_30N_H-IDLE-1100RPM.hcf “

Did the new pcm numbers match the old ones of the one you took out?

I think Tpayne621 might have solved your issue if my eyes are not deceiving me.

Those 2 pcm numbers should use the same tunes so I don't believe that's your issue. Judging by the tune files they seem like correct tunes for the 30n which would be 30% nozzles which you have. I would try to reload the tunes onto the hydra an make sure pcm is cleaner well where the hydra connects.

VDH4 was the original one it had.
VDH5 is the new one and was told is the same as H4 but it’s updated version.

the pcm pins are clean, made sure of it. How would I reload tunes, when they were put on by the shop I bought the hydra from. I don’t have the files. The most major upgrade I recently did was the transmission. I’m not a diesel expert but maybe TC stall speed?

If there jelibuilt tunes I would contact them and ask for there opinion and see what they say. The tunes they write control tranmission parameters as well.

the files are Downloaded from PHP,
you MUST have the Windows Laptop connected to the Internet when you are installing Hydra tunes,

you do NOT need any shop's help to do it, you do it yourself.

just follow the instructions in the pamphlet, or download them, or watch Video a couple times.

got a problem,
call PHP and talk with them, they talked with me for an Hour and never got upset with me....
