    Don't.

    You can't tune it if it is a Hybrid. This has been covered many times in the past, the hybrid trucks are out to lunch when it comes to modding.

    The engine can be modded because it's just like any other 6.0 in the GEN 4 trucks but the computer is another story.

    The way it was explained to me is that the engine controller is just a slave to the hybrid computer that does all the real thinking.

    No, it will not accept the mods because it is not possible to tell the computer that you did them. It will never run correctly.

    I was just saying the engine being a 6.0 can be modded, just not for this application.
