Banks Derringer (Gen2) Tuner with ActiveSafety - 66682

Stops the competition dead in their tracks. Results in torque and power gains across the full operating rpm range, starting right off idle and marching to the shift point in each gear. Derringer is dyno calibrated to use multiple data inputs such as throttle position, rpm, vehicle speed, AFR, Knock and coolant temperature, just like your engine's ECU. Its microprocessor-based electronics are able to actively and safely optimize calibrations in real time. No competitive product does that.

Derringer has three switched settings: Stock, Plus and Sport. Sport produces Best in Class performance and knocks you back in your seat. The Plus setting is for work use and has a great mid-range feel. When running Plus with a loaded work truck and/or pulling a trailer, your on-ramp merging speeds and passing times are greatly improved.

The electronics are enclosed in a compact housing which is easily concealed and communicates using B-Bus (Banks Bus) with other devices such as our iDash 1.8 DataMonster or iDash 1.8 SuperGauge. The Derringer connects in line with your truck's engine sensors. But, unlike others, it also connects to the vehicle's OBDII diagnostic bus connector.

Dr. Performance and Stealth both use the same box.

Test Vehicle: 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually 6.6L Duramax L5P. Factory intake and exhaust. All tests run on the same truck, same day, same conditions. Tested on Mustang DYNO, 10-second sweep.

How the Derringer does what it does, and why.

There is no easy way to make more power your daily driven L5P with GM's ECU and factory turbo, no magic flash or special chip available. We had to go the tuner route, and making an inline tuner for your truck was no easy task. We have almost a thousand man-hours into Derringer development. Fortunately, we've been making tuners for 20 years, so we know what we're doing.

The Derringer is a plug-and-play microcomputer designed for easy installation, it is enclosed in a compact housing which is easily concealed, and connects to the iDash 1.8 Super Gauge for the ultimate in information and power selection, unlocking three additional power levels.

AutoRate

Unlike the fixed tuning used by others, the Derringer calibration is continuously adjusting to provide you the peak possible performance under every driving condition. By utilizing the power of the OBD-II data, the tuner intelligently fine-tunes its calibration on the fly without you having to change its power level.

• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) the Derringer senses your engine's EGT and intelligently modulates fueling to maintain a safe maximum EGT, protecting your turbo and engine.
• Altitude compensation the Derringer senses ambient air pressure, controlling the turbocharger to maintain added boost and power as altitude increases.
• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regen the Derringer tuner constantly monitors your DPF regen status and will optimize its calibration to ensure the DPF regen process completes successfully.
• Accelerator Pedal Monitoring the Derringer senses accelerator pedal position to roll in additional power progressively, optimizing part-throttle fuel economy and giving max power when you ask for it.

TransCommand Active Transmission Safety System

• Intelligent Shift Tuning The transmission shift request signal is monitored to optimize the power level prior to the shift protecting the transmission, increasing shift speed and avoiding ECU power derates.
• Boost and Fuel by Gear Gear based calibration allows for optimum traction and performance
• Torque Converter Clutch Slip Monitoring the Derringer adjusts to modulate TCC slip to safe levels.
• Transmission Slip Monitoring the Derringer adjusts calibration to modulate transmission slip to safe levels

ActiveSafety

• Internal self-diagnostics checks health of the system 50 times per second
• Monitors MAP and FRP signals for out of range condition (disconnected or short circuit)
• Watchdog timer constantly monitors CPU activity
• Active safety engages if 12-volt power is lost to the Derringer tuner
