4 Things To Know About Tuning Construction Heavy Equipment

In the construction industry, your equipment is your most powerful tool; without it, work would slow to a halt. But what if we told you that you could make your equipment even more powerful than it already is? If you want to get the most out of your construction equipment, tuning may be the answer. Here are four things to know about tuning construction heavy equipment before you take the leap.

Is It Expensive?

If you want to improve your machinery’s performance, tuning it is one of the least expensive options. Your other option is to purchase brand-new parts or part components (which can be costly), remove the old ones, and either install the new ones yourself or pay someone else to do it for you. Comparatively, tunes are cheaper and less time- and labor-intensive.

Will It Improve Performance?

Another thing you want to know about tuning construction heavy equipment is whether it will genuinely improve your equipment’s performance.

By tuning your equipment, you can dramatically improve fuel mileage, towing power, and engine life. This has several benefits. When your equipment is more powerful and uses less fuel, you can get more work done in less time and for less money. Tuning also reduces strain on your equipment, which translates into less frequent maintenance and a longer lifespan.

What Types of Tunes Are There?

At TM AG Tuning, we offer five types of tuning services for construction industry heavy equipment:

• DEF Delete: Delete the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce equipment wear-and-tear
• DPF Delete: Delete the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to prevent clogging and engine degradation
• EGR Delete: Delete the engine gas recirculation (EGR) system to help your equipment run cooler and reduce repair and fuel costs
• HP Tuning: Re-tune equipment for a boost in power
• ECO Tuning: Optimize the RPM range to increase torque and reduce fuel consumption

Is It Complicated?

If you’ve never tuned before, learning the ropes can take some time and experimentation. Fortunately, thanks to remote tuning, you can tune your equipment without having to tinker with the ECU yourself. Just plug in the tuner, retrieve the ECU file, and email it to us. We’ll custom-tune your equipment for you.
