8100 Tuner

After I bought my low mileage 2002 8100 WD 3500 I had some serious health issues and have just been using it between the house and farm. (no racing.. 44' LQGN sitting.. Just toating the Kubota) Soon after I got it in 2016 I noticed some issues with it missing and sometimes it died. I changed to the updated Crank position sensor and all problems went away. I have made a couple long trips in it. The longest from NE Texas/SW Arkansas to Minnesota. April of 2023 I delivered an engine to Ringgold Ga. while I was there I stopped at RED and Ronnie loaded down my 30 ft goosneck with 36 SBC engine blocks and several BBC blocks. It did well going back to Texarkana. Loaded and at Interstate speeds it averaged 9.75 MPG on the way home. I had a tune that ED Wright had sent to me, but had a comuter crash and lost it.. that was just after we had lost Ed. This truck really has served me well. It is nearing 58,000 miles on it. I still plan on doing some mods to it, but I just haven't taken the time.
Alan, I was wondering if you still had that 8100 engine and Trans I delivered to you. If anyone has an update on the tuning of the 8100 let's keep this thread going?
