TS Performance Stryker 2013-2014 6.7

[Joseph Donnelly]

The 2013 has the timing advanced compared to earlier years, so I would not expect much mpg gain with them from adding more timing.

Edge just released their Insight for the 13-14s so we can monitor egt and a lot else. We will see if there is "room" for any safe uprates to the power. Diesel Dynamics was shut down 9/07 by MSD who had bought Edge. Keith is at Dynojet, the others have gone on to other professions.

Will the Insight for 13-14 read/display the EGT using the Ram stock sensor? Without drilling and installing a EGT sensor in the manifold?

As I understand it the Stryker modifies injector duration and is not messing with timing.

There are 2 post turbo EGT sensors. The PIDS are available at the OBD2 data link connector. There are several monitors available that can read these, The Edge, Banks IQ, Bully Dog GT etc.
As I understand it these post turbo readings are about 75% of pre-turbo readings. The new Juice W/Attitude has a fuel function that prevents EGT's from exceeding a user preset level. If I am not mistaken it requires that their exhaust manifold sensor be installed to use this feature.

Shows EGT's X 2, throttle position and boost in this config:

Shows where I placed the Stryker. No holes were drilled. I can remove module and harness W/O any evidence of anything installed in engine compartment

On the 2013/14's, there are actually 5 factory EGT sensors that can be monitored...

• EGT1 Diesel Oxidation Catalyst Inlet
• EGT2 Diesel Oxidation Catalyst Outlet
• EGT3 Diesel Particulate Filter Outlet
• EGT4 Selective Catalyst Reduction Mid Bed
• EGT5 Selective Catalyst Reduction Outlet

Is there a PID ID list for these things? I haven't been able to find a good PID list for all the sensors in these trucks. You can use a cheap bluetooth dongle off of ebay/amazon to read these things, you just have to know the PIDs and how to decode.

I have the first generation of this device on my '05....called an MP-8. I put it on at 20K miles....It has been replaced once, free of charge after about 100K miles. It does what it advertises (altho' I have not put it on a Dyno). After all these years and now 200K, it still works fine. Well worth the $500 investment.

Still looking for long term reports on this.. I want one, but would love to see some long term data first.

 

[2014 Ram]

I have a bone stock 2014 Ram 2500 and have been thinking about this module as well...Not for the power, but for the better mpg...I plan on putting bigger tires and a leveling kit...Im getting around 22-23 on the highway now...I would like to be able to keep that once I go from 33" to 35" tires..I dont know of anyone running this module, so I have no clue it it will actually improve the mpg as it says it will...I do not have a heavy foot at all...I bought the truck for pulling my bassboat, and towing my RZR on trailer...

 

[Mawvelous]

I have seen posts with MPG's all the way from 12-13 up to (now) 22-23 MPG on the 2013 & later trucks. I believe if it is dropped off a tall building it will get that kind of mileage (with engine off). The most common reports are in the 16-18 MPG's This is where I am hand calculated.
Most of the Stryker posts I have read are improvements of 1 MPG or so towing. This module is load based.
With a 3:42 axle I doubt that oversized tires is going to improve anything except looks.

 

[2014 Ram]

Not to be a jerk, but don't really care if you believe it or not..I drive from Houston to Beaumont and will get that mpg....

 

[TCDiesel]

X2,Mawvelous... You should buy on the performance, MPG would be a +, the cost Vs the gain would take over 35K miles just to brake even (Stryker $750.00) with 1 MPG gain (18 Vs 19 MPG). that would be $5.80 saved every 33 Gallons @ $3.60 gallon. Now if you are towing and get 10 and The Stryker nets 11 you will recoup the cost in about 20K miles. My 13 got 22.5 twice in 1.5 years of ownership, it generally gets 18 MPG @ 70 MPH , My 14 gets the same MPG , both 3500 Laramie's with 4x4 LB with Stryker's, the 13 has modded Rail, pump with 100HP injectors, I have not dyno it yet ,My guess is about 560HP Max, all OEM emissions.

Wanted to bring this one back up as I have a question...
It seems every dyno run Ive been able to find has been of a 68RE equipped Cummins which is the lower powered automatic.
Does the Stryker module net the same power/tq increases for the AISIN equipped Cummins? Or does it reach a fueling limit equal to the increase offered on the 68RE equipped trucks.
I am making an assumption that my 385/850 equipped truck already has more aggressive fueling vs the 370/800. With that being said, does the Stryker peak at the same hp/tq no matter which truck its connected to or is it 505/1000 for the 68RE and 520/1050 for the AISIN?
TCDIESEL???

 

[TCDiesel]

I really cannot answer that until I put my 14 on the Dyno, My 13 is modded with 100Hp nozzle's, pump and rail ,Stryker. SOP meter tells me its 600-625, The 100s are to big DD use, if I had to do it again it would get 50/60 nozzle's. My 69s have been flawless ,at this power level Any factory 68RFE would have been puke out.

ok after some legwork I got an answer from TS performance. The reason for most of the testing being performed on the Chrysler automatic was simply due to TS performance wanting to test on the weaker transmission to determine if it would cause a failure of the trans.
and according to them, the Stryker module being used on an Aisin equipped Cummins will net more increase than when used on a Chrysler equipped truck.
And they are running a SALE!!!..

 

[Bossman]

Ok who's pulled with the Stryker??? Thinking of getting one but want to hear feedback

 

[Wingate]

Ive had mine for a while now. Had to send it back once for an update due to it throwing injector codes and throttle valve errors. Wbhen it was returned to me it had a potientiometer attached to it with absolutely no instructions on what it was for. Ended up calling TS Performance and speaking with them.. they stated unloaded could run module wide open, when pulling hard to back the module down to approx. 2/3.
The module is definitely "softer" now, by that I mean not near as agressive, no hint of a little timing rattle like it initially benefitted from before the update. It definitely pulls harder than stock, and fuel mileage is a little better along with throttle response... But Im not sure its still adding 135/200.
All in all its a good bump for the truck, doesnt leave a footprint, appears to be relatively safe for the truck...

 

[Bob4x4]

I am wondering how you know it doesn't leave a footprint

EXACTLY! Are they putting it in writing?

Per Stan Gozzi at May Madness a couple years ago "they can see that something was there"

Personally don't see the need for more power than 365/865. Tow 32K combined and it performs very well!
