I am finally coming up for air and looking to get my Roxor setup Tuned via Diesel Freak! I have not been able to be on here much so just wondering how the tune is going and real world outcomes ! Thanks.
2.7 Tune
- Thread starter Gabe
- Start date
From my reading on here I believe that Diesel Freak has all the bugs out of it now. A small number of the first Tunes had to be returned for a slight modification. I believe they now have all the bugs out of the tune.
No one has said that they were not impressed as far as I know.
I have not ordered one so far. I still have a few other improvements to my Roxor on my List in front of the Tune. Next up for me will probably be the Diesel Freak Twin Stick Modification.
Glad you are back.

DO IT! You won't regret it. I've had mine since the tune came out for the 2.7l (Had to send it back for the reprogram which wasn't anything major) and haven't had any issues. I believe this is how the newer Roxors should come from the factory. Your acceleration is better, you can maintain speed pulling hills, the machine just feels better all around too. If you can spend the $$ I wouldn't hesitate.
The reason for the De-Tune of the Roxor, I am sure is due to DEF being required over 75 HP.
I would much rather pay for "The Tune" than mess with DEF from day one. The Roxor does not need any more GREEN GARBAGE on it than what it currently has.

That does not make a lot of sense being that the 2.5 was 55HP.
Coldweather86 My understanding is that 75 HP and up is where DEF is required. No matter how clean the diesel engine burns, a factory diesel engine still gets DEF from 75HP on up. Along with all the Electronic Garbage that goes with DEF on a Diesel Engine.
The 2.5L and 2.7L Mahindra Diesel Engines when factory rated at 62 HP or 55 HP are not required to burn DEF. They are well under 75HP.
The Mahindra 2.5 and 2.7 Diesels can be made to produce more than 75 HP easily. They do not make more HP from the factory for a reason. If Mahindra made an 80 HP Roxor 2.7L Diesel Engine it would come from the factory requiring the use of DEF.

the thing holding me back from getting my roxor tuned (or even 33 in tires for that matter) is I want to keep the great MPG it already has. 90% of my driving is gravel roads and maybe some dirt tracks or a minimum maintenance road here or there.
karlhungusjr I have the 33 inch tires (235/85R16), and I do not think that they hurt the fuel mileage much, if at all. The tune I am not so sure about as far as fuel mileage goes. Besides owning a Roxor I also own and drive a Wrangler 2 Door MOAB with the 3.6L Engine and Automatic Transmission. It is a daily driver, and we have put a ton of miles on it. I hate to say it, but even with 5.38 gears, the Roxor gets over 10 MPG better fuel mileage than the Jeep. The Roxor is easy on fuel.

I got the tune today. I’ll just say it’s not a subtle difference. It’s I significant difference that easy to notice immediately. The low Roxor gearing feels worse now, but larger tires will calm it down. Like every one says u gotta do it

Joebv, I added 35 inch tires to mine so I could cut down on the rpms for street driving. I never use first gear.
My 9 year old grand-daughter drives it in the yard in first/low/2wd. I added the Diesel Freak Twin stick and in 2wd low it just crawls around the back yard without touching the pedal.
If you have the tune you should be able to dial it back if you want. I do not.

Yea. No intention of returning it to stock. Love the tune! It’s really amazing. It just needs tires like u say and that would make it just right I bet.
