What's involved in the 3K Calibrations tuning process?

We provide remote tuning throughout Canada and the USA. You’ll need a Windows-based laptop, a reliable high-speed internet connection, and the correct communication device for your engine.

For on-road applications, we use a NEXIQ USB Link 2 or 3.
Most off-road applications use the same setup, while Caterpillar equipment requires the appropriate CAT communication adapter.

‍Don’t have the required laptop or communication device? No problem. We can ship you the equipment needed to complete the tuning.

‍Because our technicians connect to your laptop remotely, internet access at the truck or machine is required during the tuning process.

Once connected, one of our technicians remotely accesses the laptop and handles the programming. We’ll read the existing calibration, build the tune for your specific engine and application, program it, and verify everything is working properly.

If your application requires the ECM to be shipped to us instead, we handle the programming here and ship it back ready to install.

‍For customers anywhere in the USA, we offer $200USD overnight shipping. We provide the shipping labels and complete all required customs paperwork — you simply box up the ECM, attach the paperwork we send you, and ship it. We handle the rest, including overnight return shipping once programming is complete.

Every 3K Calibrations tune includes a lifetime warranty on the tuning.
If your ECM fails and needs to be replaced, a dealer or repair shop accidentally flashes over our tune, or the calibration needs to be reinstalled for another reason, we will re-tune it at no charge.
You only pay shipping when applicable.

If an engine light or other issue comes up down the road, give us a call. Our technicians can take a look and help determine what’s going on and how we can help.

‍Our lifetime warranty covers the tuning and re-tuning service. It does not cover the cost of a replacement ECM, Shipping, Laptop rental, or ANY other failed components.
