The 5 position OBD2 switch eliminates this hassle. By simply rotating the switch knob, you can instantly select a different tune, optimizing your Cummins for various driving conditions, whether it’s for fuel economy, towing power, or high-performance driving. This on-the-fly tuning capability is invaluable for drivers who demand versatility and control over their engine’s performance.
