This will be my 3rd "chip". 2nd on a Diesel. They work by knocking. Lean does not apply. The engines are different. I blew up my first car at 180K gas, twin turbo unrelated to tuning.
My E320 Diesel in still great at 206K, I tuned it at 55K and a few more times as dealer kept re-flashing it.
This "new" car is the curb weight of a Sprinter with a similar engine, and the other chip is for a Sprinter.
I don't always cruise empty highways in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana, but when I do I want it to be in a tuned diesel.
Ah, diesel, then yes, very different tuning. More margin for error.
