Windshield Mounting
1. Locate the T-shaped mount socket on the back side of the Mini Maxx.
2. Notice that the top of the universal mount will fit into T-shaped socket and slide forward to
secure the Mini Maxx to the mount.
3. With the Mini Maxx connected to the mount use the windshield mount to secure the Mini Maxx
to the wind- shield. Be sure that the position of the Mini Maxx does not obstruct the view of
the road or distract the driver from their primary responsibility, which is driving responsible.
In this section you will drill and tap the Pyrometer Probe in the exhaust, either pre-turbo or post-
turbo as a means to collect exhaust gas temperatures (EGT). Exhaust gas temperatures indicate
how hot the motor is getting and can be used to set safety defueling parameters.
Post-turbo vs. Pre-turbo
You must decide between mounting the Pyro Probe either post-turbo or pre-turbo. The difference in
location determines what temperatures will read on your Mini Maxx. Pre-turbo mounting is gener-
ally recommended because it provides more accurate EGT readings.
The Mini Maxx is capable of running two pyrometers simultaneously. Please purchase an extra probe
if you wish to read pre AND post turbo pyrometers.
Pre-Turbo Mount
1. Drill a 5/16” hole into the exhaust manifold where all the exhaust runners of the manifold come togeth-
er, just before the turbo exhaust inlet. Then tap the hole with a 1/8” NPT tap and mount the Pyrometer
Probe in the hole. Use a 9/16” wrench to tighten the probe holder or tube fitting to the down tube. Then
tighten the Pyro Probe Cap to the holder using a 9/16” wrench.
2. Run the Pyro Cable up to engine bay; let the end of the cable sit while installing the PCH Board.
For pictures and vehicle specific information, see the Vehicle Specific Features/Info Section starting on Page 30
Warning: If any debris such as drill bits and metal shavings drop inside the manifold, we advise
that the manifold be removed from the vehicle so that the debris can be removed before starting the
vehicle again.
Post-Turbo Mount
1. Find a location on the exhaust pipe that is 3-6” downstream from the turbo charger output. Then drill a
5
/16” hole and run a 1/8” NPT tap into the hole. Mount the Pyrometer Probe in the threaded hole using a
9
/16” wrench to tighten the probe holder or tube fitting to the down tube. Then tighten the Pyro Probe
Cap to the holder using a 9/16” wrench.
2. Run the Pyro Cable along the brim of the engine bay, and then let the end sit when installing the PCH
Board.
For pictures and vehicle specific information, see the Vehicle Specific Features/Info Section starting on Page 30
Notice: Do not remove the jumper from the Pyrometer 2 location unless you are
installing a second pyrometer.
If connecting two pyrometers keep track of which location, Pyro 1 or 2, each
pyrometer was attached to on the PCH Board
5. Once the PCH Board is secure and the pyrometer is connected to the PCH Board, use zip ties to secure
the pyrometer cables away from extreme heat and moving parts.
6. Run the end of the PCH Cable through the fire wall. It will need to be connected to the OBDII Adapter
Plug. Use zip ties to secure all remaining cable left inside the engine bay.

Note: On some vehicles it is recommended to move the OBDII port to a safer location. Because the Mini Maxx will
remain plugged in, the adapter can be kicked/bumped and broken. Please move your OBDII connection to a safer
location if you feel it is in a position that may allow it to get damaged.
1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the Main Harness port on the OBD ll adapter plug.
2. Run the other end of the HDMI cable up through the vehicle dash on the drivers side so that the end of
the cable emerges from the dash near the vehicle A-pillar. It may be necessary to temporarily remove
the vehicle weather stripping and dash panel to achieve an installation where the HDMI cable cannot
be seen.
3. Plug the HDMI cable into the back side of the Mini Maxx, make sure that there is enough slack in the
cable to accommodate mounting the Mini Maxx to the windshield.

Speed Limiter
This option allows for the adjustment of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.7L Cummins trucks have a
106 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be adjusted from 55 MPH to 200 MPH. This
option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires.
For the most accurate speedometer reading when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure
FUSE NUMBER 30
Always tap into the cold side of the fuse. On the
2007.5 - 2009 6.7L Cummins, the cold side is towards
the drivers side of the vehicle.
Note: If your fuse box or wiring looks different than those pictured
or if you are not getting 12V ignition power from the pictured source,
you may need to find another 12V keyed ignition source using a test
light or multimeter. If possible, find one that stays hot during engine cranking.
Note: Some exhaust manifolds have a divider down the center of the
collector so it’s generally not a good idea to drill right in the center, shift
to either side 1/4” and drill there.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in

system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light
(CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the
factory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also
be removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 2010 - 2011 Pickup, there
are usually 3 EGT Sensors, 2 O2 Sensors, and 1 Pressure Sensor.
2011 Cab & Chassis UREA System
On the 2011 Cab & Chassis, there is usually an additional NOX sensor as well as a UREA
system that needs to be unplugged when running DPF REMOVED tuning. The UREA system
must at least be unplugged but can be completely removed from the vehicle if desired.
Failure to unplug the UREA system may result in a check engine light and/or dash messages.
Follow these instructions to unplug the UREA system:
1. Locate the wiring harness with the YELLOW sliding lock-tab on the Urea pump assembly.
The pump assembly is located near the bottom of the filler neck support.
2. Slide the yellow lock-tab DOWN to dis-engage the lock and unplug the harness.
For complete UREA System Removal instructions, visit

Note: If any special feature is already listed as Enabled but is not functioning correctly, you may need to disable
the feature, cycle the key, and re-enable the feature to make it function properly. If it still does not work, your vehicle
may not be equipped with the hardware required for the special feature. The previous selection will NOT be saved.
If the Special Functions/Features Menu is exited and returned into, it will not display your previous selection. This is
normal and the Enable/Disable function is still working properly.
Note: Some exhaust manifolds have a divider down the center of the
collector so it’s generally not a good idea to drill right in the center, shift
to either side 1/4” and drill there.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in the
cast elbow connected to the turbo as seen below:
EGR Delete
With H&S tuning installed, the EGR system on the 6.0L Powerstroke can be completely
removed with an EGR Delete Kit while remaining code free.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the removal of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.0L Powerstroke trucks
have a 95 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be removed completely or left
stock (this may change so be sure to visit www.hsperformance.com for product updates). This option can
only be changed during the Install Download process.
Tire Size Calibration
(Not currently available for the 2003 - 2007 6.0L Powerstroke. This may change so be sure to visit www.
hsperformance.com for product updates) This option allows for the re-calibration of the factory
speedometer to adjust for non-stock sized tires. For the most accurate speedometer reading
when using non-stock sized tires, it is best to measure the diameter of the tire using a tape
measure rather than going by the printed tire size. In addition, using a GPS is a great way to
dial in your factory speedometer. Entering a larger tire size will cause the factory speedom-
eter to read higher while entering a smaller tire size will cause the factory speedometer to
read lower. This option can only be adjusted during the Install Download process.
Keyed Ignition Source Location
Although it is possible to manually power up the Mini Maxx without using a keyed ignition source,
it can sometimes create communication issues between the Mini Maxx and the vehicles ECM. To
eliminate these problems, we highly recommend tapping into a 12V keyed ignition source to sup-
ply power to the Mini Maxx only when the key is in the ON position and the vehicles ECM is online.
Below you will find a commonly used 12V keyed ignition source for your vehicle:
Note: The driver side exhaust manifold can be easily accessed from
underneath the vehicle. Be sure to drill straight into the exhaust
manifold otherwise the pyrometer probe may hit the manifold wall
during installation.
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so
somewhere in the downpipe.
Note: The downpipe is pretty thin in most places, so be extra careful when tapping and installing the probe fitting.
Post-turbo EGT readings can be up to 400 degrees cooler than pre-turbo EGT readings. Keep that in mind when
monitoring your EGTs with a post-turbo pyrometer.

DPF / Exhaust Sensors
When running DPF PRESENT tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the exhaust
system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light
(CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the fac-
tory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also be
removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 6.4L Powerstroke, there are
usually 2 EGT Sensors and 1 Pressure Sensor.
Note: The vehicle will not run with sensors removed unless DPF REMOVED tuning is installed.
When re-training the transmission, ALWAYS follow posted speed limits. Do NOT at-
tempt runs in adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, wind, or any other
conditions that may affect your vehicles traction or impair your visibility!
1. After H&S tuning is installed, perform each of the following 0-80 MPH runs while in the
HOT power level. During this relearn process, you may experience hesitation during shifts,
hard shifts, or defuel patterns, all of which are normal:
• 0-80 MPH @ 25% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
Note: On any vehicle using 3” or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install
traction bars. With any added horsepower, failure to do so may result in harsh shifting and may cause premature
transmission and/or driveline damage.

usually 3 EGT Sensors, 1 NOX Sensor, 1 UREA Injector, and 1 Pressure Sensor.
Note: The vehicle will not run with sensors removed unless DPF REMOVED tuning is installed.
Transmission Tuning
Did you know that your H&S tuning device also has the capability of tuning your transmis-
sion? Our transmission tuning for the 6R140 automatic transmission is custom tailored to
mate with H&S engine tuning. Some features include: boosted line pressures, modified full
and part throttle lock/unlock strategies, adjusted full and part throttle shift points, adjusted
full and part throttle shift firmness, and modified torque management tables. All changes
are designed to keep more power directed to the road instead of wasted in heat and friction.
On our test trucks, we have seen 0.2 to 0.3 second quicker 1/4 mile times JUST from the ad-
dition of H&S transmission tuning! An additional unlock fee may apply, see
www.hsperformance.com for details.
Transmission Relearn
The 6R140 automatic transmission on the 2011 - 2012 6.7L Powerstroke has what is called
Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to different horsepower levels,
temperatures, driving habits, etc. If you selected to tune the transmission during the Install
Download process, the Transmission Adaptive Memory is automatically reset when the
download completes. We highly recommend performing a Transmission Relearn procedure
after installing H&S transmission tuning to help the transmission perform correctly with the
added horsepower. The 6R140 automatic transmission will eventually learn over time on its
own, but the relearn procedure gives a good baseline for the adaptive learning and helps
to speed up the learning process. To perform the relearn procedure, please follow these
instructions:
When re-training the transmission, ALWAYS follow posted speed limits. Do NOT at-
tempt runs in adverse weather conditions such as snow, ice, rain, wind, or any other
conditions that may affect your vehicles traction or impair your visibility!
1. After H&S tuning is installed, perform each of the following 0-80 MPH runs while in the
HOT power level. During this relearn process, you may experience hesitation during shifts,
hard shifts, or defuel patterns, all of which are normal:

• 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
• 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop.
The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
Note: On any vehicle using 3” or larger lift blocks under the rear leaf pack, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to install
traction bars when adding additional horsepower.

DPF / Exhaust Sensors
When running DPF PRESENT tuning, it is required that all sensors located in the exhaust
system stay in place and plugged in, otherwise you may experience a Check Engine Light
(CEL) and even a loss of power (limp mode).
When running DPF REMOVED tuning, it is recommended that all sensors located in the fac-
tory exhaust system be unplugged from the electrical harnesses. These sensors can also be
removed completely with the factory exhaust if desired. On the 6.6L LMM Duramax, there
are usually 2 EGT Sensors and 1 Pressure Sensor.
GM Pre-Turbo Mount
For those wanting to install the pyrometer post-turbo, we usually recommend doing so in
the downpipe which can also be easily accessed through the passenger side wheel well as
seen below:

urea tank. Flip the large gray locking tab to disconnect the harness.
Speed Limiter
This option allows for the removal of the factory speed limiter. Most 6.6L LML Duramax
trucks have a 98 MPH speed limiter from the factory. The limiter can be removed completely
