Control Modules

Truck Engine Control Modules

Control Modules:  A control module plugs directly into your under-the-hood electrical system, standing right in between the data from your various sensors and the computer.

The module intercepts the data before it has a chance to reach the onboard computer. Then, it analyses the information, determines the proper adjustments to the air/fuel ratio, ignition timing and other key functions, and then sends commands to the onboard computer.

A control module delivers accurate, immediate tuning for your engine because it is always plugged in and constantly reading and interpreting data from your sensors.

Each control module is custom-programmed to maximize the output and efficiency of your vehicle’s specific year, make and model, taking into consideration engine size, transmission type and even your stock
tire size.

What’s more, many control modules come in different power levels, or stages. That way, you can choose the perfect amount of power for your unique driving habits.

Many of the control modules for diesel rigs have optional in-cab monitors that display up to the second readings of such critical engine information as turbo boost, engine gas temperature and RPMs.

Some even display your 0-60 acceleration and quarter mile time, and give you on-the-fly control of different settings. For the best results, you will want to use a higher grade fuel with more octanes, like 91 or higher.

Installing a control module is simple and should not take more than 15 minutes. They have a built-in, heat-shielded wiring harness that plugs directly into your onboard computer, so there’s absolutely no
soldering, splicing or drilling required.

After all the wires are connected, you never have to worry about adjusting the module ever again, unless you would like to return to your factory settings. These engine contol modules are often referred to as engine computer chips.
