It’s the L494 RRS that got the 225Kw/700Nm tune. This is when the 8-speed auto, which is rated to 700Nm, was fitted to them.
700Nm is the standard for tunes on the 3.0L, it's a safe level of torque, pushing it further than that is not wise. But it's also not a case of you'll snap a crank at 701Nm either.
The 6-speeds are fine with 700Nm, there are countless D4 & RRS out there with that level of torque. Actually the programmed limit in the TCM is 850Nm
I will emphasize that completely blanking the EGR's on a 3.0L is not a good idea, they have a dual-purpose, are also used to relieve manifold pressure when you get off the throttle.
So as part of the tune, the EGR function should be modified, not disabled.
The 2.7 is a different system, on those yes the EGR blanked/disabled is the norm, but I will say removing the throttle butterfly on a 2.7 is also not a good idea, it's the last line of defense against a diesel runaway...
Problem with not removing it Cameron on the 2.7 is it generates a vacuum under decel which increases other risks, drawing oil back up past the rings etc.
Agree that being able to shut the butterfly helps in runaway - though unlikely to prevent it.
Unrelated. 8 speed ZF box was also fitted to the L319 (from 2014 I believe?)Quote:

The 8-speed was fitted into the L319 from MY13, the ‘facelift’ was from MY14.Quote:

Mostly sits in 8th gear, drops to 7th when slightly up hill and 6th when a good pull is called for - very rarely 5th. Averages 17L/100km when towing the boat and 9km/100km without.
Which model do you have the TDV6 or SDV6?Quote:
