Maximize Performance with CAT Equipment Tuning

Maximize Performance with CAT Equipment Tuning

If you operate CAT equipment, you already know how valuable these machines are to your business — and how frustrating emissions-related problems can be.

DPFs, SCR systems, EGR valves, and DOCs on CAT machines are well-known for causing downtime, derates, and extremely expensive repairs. Worse, these problems usually happen right when you need your machine the most.

At Northern Tuning, we offer industry-leading remote CAT tuning services that permanently eliminate emissions issues, restore lost power, and save you thousands in costly repairs — all without removing your ECM from your machine.

Why Delete the Emissions Systems on Your CAT Equipment?

Our CAT tuning service delivers a range of critical benefits:

✅ Increased Power & Performance

Northern Tuning’s custom ECM tuning safely removes torque-limiting factors built into your CAT ECM.

You’ll see:

  • More usable power

  • Improved throttle response

  • Enhanced performance in the most demanding work environments

✅ Eliminate Expensive Emissions Repairs

CAT emissions systems are notorious for causing failures in:

  • DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters)

  • DOCs (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts)

  • SCRs (Selective Catalytic Reduction systems)

  • EGR valves (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)

Replacing just one failed component can cost thousands — and it’s not a matter of if they’ll fail, but when.

👉 Our tuning costs less than half of replacing a single emissions component — and prevents future issues entirely.

✅ Extended Engine Life

EGR systems recirculate abrasive exhaust particles back into your engine, contaminating your oil and accelerating wear on key internal components like bearings.

Our tuning eliminates this harmful process — helping your engine run cleaner, cooler, and longer — which extends the life of your equipment and protects your investment.

✅ Protect Your Investment

With Northern Tuning’s CAT tuning, you will:
✔️ Eliminate downtime
✔️ Avoid expensive emissions maintenance
✔️ Extend equipment lifespan
✔️ Protect your business-critical machines

Why risk repeated failures and mounting costs when a one-time tuning investment can give you peace of mind and keep your machines running strong?

How It Works

Our CAT tuning process is 100% remote — no need to remove your ECM or ship anything to us. We tune your machine right where it is.

Here’s what you need:

  • A Windows laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and 100 GB free disk space

  • A CatComm 3 adapter (we can supply one if needed)

  • A stable internet connection

Remote Tuning Workflow:

1️⃣ We connect to your laptop via TeamViewer.
2️⃣ We read your CAT ECM data through your CatComm 3 adapter.
3️⃣ We develop a fully custom tune based on your specific machine and your needs.
4️⃣ We flash your ECM remotely
5️⃣ You simply restart your machine — tuned, emissions-free, and ready to get back to work.

👉 No downtime. No shipping delays. 

Special Note for Newer CAT Equipment (ADEM6 ECU):

If your machine is a next-gen CAT with an ADEM6 ECU, we offer a different tuning solution for these models.

👉 Please contact us directly to discuss the correct tuning process for your next-gen machine.
