2015 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins in cam in and is
another example of fixing problems left behind by a “cheap” mobile mechanic and marketplace laptop tuner.
Customer stated the truck had been tuned at home in the driveway and had a turbo actuator replaced, but it never seemed to operate correctly afterwards and developed a severe vibration.
Upon inspection, we found: a missing motor mount bolt (circled in red) allowing the engine oil pan to rest on the crossmember as well as part of the motor mount to rest of the trucks frame (circled in blue)

The truck had also been tuned as a fixed turbo setup instead of properly repairing the actuator issue.

We corrected the problems with:
✔️ New engine mounts and bolt.
✔️ A quality City Diesel turbo actuator
✔️ Proper retune and a good drive.

This truck was lucky the oil pan didn’t wear through from contacting the crossmember causing a sever oil leak, now it’s fixed correctly and ready to head home.

We have had 4 trucks come in tuned this way in the past month. It’s Dirty, it’s dishonest, and it cost the customer twice. Please reach out to trusted shops and individuals when having your vehicles worked on. These problems and added expenses can be avoided.

This 2019 Ram 3500 came in from a hotshot driver with a low power concern. After diagnosing, we found the truck had been tuned for a fixed turbo to mask a failed turbo actuator—a fairly common (and shady) shortcut.
We got it taken care of the right way. The truck is leaving with a fresh upgraded turbo from Fleece, along with proper engine and transmission tuning, ready to get back to work.
Another example of why it pays to use reputable shops that operate with integrity and keep the customer’s best interest first.
