Vehicle Compatibility and Return Conditions.

This item was designed and engineered in the USA for US domestic vehicles. OBD tools, ECUs, dongles, programmers, and tuners may have limited compatibility with vehicles outside the USA due to regional differences in emission standards and system configurations. Some features and functionality may vary depending on the vehicle and location.

Some electronic tuning devices and programmers require activation, registration, or pairing with a specific vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Once activated or paired, these devices may become permanently associated with that vehicle, restricting or preventing their use on another vehicle, resticting our ability to offer returns or exchanges.

Please review the product details and images to ensure it meets your needs. For clarification or assistance, feel free to contact a StreetFX agent. Note: Returns are not accepted for special order or tuning products unless the unit is deemed faulty.

Images are supplied by the manufacturer and may be generic. While all efforts are made to provide accurate pictures, there may be differences in the actual product, such as colour, quantity, version, or included components. Please carefully review the description and specifications for details on inclusions or any variations. Some items may be sold individually or in sets, and images may occasionally depict additional products or quantities not included in your purchase.

Banks Power offers Derringer Tuners for a variety of late model Jeep and truck applications. When paired with an iDash (not included), you will see torque and horsepower gains across the full operating RPM range, starting right off idle and marching to the shift point in each gear. Derringers are dyno-calibrated to use multiple data inputs—such as throttle position, RPM, vehicle speed, AFR, knock, coolant temperature, and EGT, just like your engine's ECM. They actively and safely optimize calibrations in real-time, thanks to OBD-II connectivity. No competitive tuner does that.

Derringer Tuners have six levels, adjustable on-the-fly when using an iDash. Level 6 produces best-in-class performance; Level 3 is designed for work use and has a great mid-range feel. When running Level 3 with a loaded 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 with other Banks devices, such as the iDash DataMonster, iDash SuperGauge, and PedalMonster throttle booster. Derringer Tuners connect inline with your truck's engine sensors. But unlike other tuners, they also connect to the vehicle's OBD-II diagnostic bus.

ActiveSafety health monitoring circuitry keeps an eye on the vehicle and the module itself. It checks its health 100 times a second. If it detects an issue, the Derringer instantly bypasses itself, sets a device diagnostic code, and seamlessly returns the truck to stock power. Plus, Derringer's special coolant temp monitoring prevents power addition when the engine is too cold or overheated. The Derringer also auto-adjusts power if knock occurs due to bad fuel. Maximum safe power is all automatic with a Derringer Tuner—you just choose your preferred power level and enjoy the ride.

AutoRate Dynamic Tuning: The Derringer calibration is continuously adjusting to provide peak 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): Monitors EGT and intelligently modulates fueling to maintain a safe maximum EGT, protecting your turbo and engine.
• Altitude compensation: Senses ambient air pressure, controlling the turbocharger to maintain added boost and power as altitude increases.
• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regen: Monitors your DPF regen status to ensure the process completes successfully.
• Accelerator Pedal Monitoring: Rolls in additional power progressively, optimizing for both part-throttle fuel economy and max power when you ask for it.
• Full Power Timer: Allows for 30 seconds of wide-open throttle before transitioning to the recommended power level for sustained tow/haul.
• Coolant Temperature Monitoring: Maintains safe power based on coolant temp.
• During warmup, no power is added below 120 degrees F
• Power is ramped in and fully available above 150 degrees F
• If the coolant overheats for any reason, the Derringer starts removing its power at 230 degrees F
• Additional power is totally removed if you exceed 240 degrees F
