Maximize Your CAT 299D Series Performance with Reimer Tuning

Maximize Your CAT 299D Series Performance with Reimer Tuning

Sun, Mar 30, 2025

In the competitive world of construction and agriculture, every bit of performance matters. If you're operating a CAT 299D series skid steer, you know these machines are workhorses—but what if you could make them work even harder while reducing maintenance headaches? That's where Reimer Tuning comes in, offering specialized performance tuning solutions designed specifically for CAT 299D series equipment.

The Emissions Challenge: Why CAT 299D Owners Need Better Solutions

Modern Tier 4B emissions systems on CAT skid steers, while environmentally conscious, create significant operational challenges:

  • Frequent regeneration cycles causing unexpected downtime
  • Restricted exhaust flow limiting engine performance
  • Complex EGR systems prone to carbon buildup and failure
  • DEF fluid requirements adding maintenance costs and complexity
  • Reduced power output due to emissions control restrictions

These issues translate directly to lost productivity and higher operating costs. But there's a better way.

Reimer Tuning's Comprehensive Emissions Solution

Our Tier4B EGR/DPF/DEF Reflash package provides a complete solution for off-road applications, eliminating emissions-related headaches while boosting performance. The process is straightforward:

  1. Ship your Engine Control Module (ECM) and Aftertreatment Control Module (ACM) to our facility
  2. Our technicians perform specialized bench flashing with proprietary programming
  3. Modules are returned the next day with complete installation instructions

What sets our approach apart? No resistors required after tuning is completed. Unlike competitor solutions, our programming completely deactivates the aftertreatment harness, meaning no check engine lights or error codes on your display.

What's Included in Our Emissions Package:

  • EGR Blocker Plate and OEM Gasket (For 3.8L engines)
  • Complete ECM/ACM emissions programming
  • Detailed instructions for controller removal and reinstallation
  • Step-by-step DPF filter removal guidance

Performance Tuning: Unleash Your CAT's True Potential

Beyond emissions solutions, we offer performance tuning that transforms your CAT 299D from capable to exceptional:

Stage 1 and Stage 2 Horsepower Increases

Based on the CAT 299D3 model, our performance tuning delivers:

  • Significant horsepower gains for handling demanding attachments
  • Enhanced throttle response for more precise control
  • Improved fuel efficiency under normal operating conditions
  • Better performance when running bush hogs, snow blowers, or mulch heads

The Reimer Tuning Difference

What separates us from other tuners in the industry?

  1. Experience matters: Operating since 2014, we've built a reputation for reliable, effective solutions
  2. Development investment: We purchased an SVL95 (sharing the same engine as CAT equipment) specifically to perfect our tuning protocol
  3. Protocol pioneers: We helped develop the necessary tuning protocols for these machines
  4. Comprehensive testing: Our solutions are field-proven across North America
  5. No aftermarket workarounds: Our programming eliminates the need for resistor installations or sensor modifications

Technical Benefits Explained

EGR System Removal Benefits

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system recirculates exhaust gases to reduce NOx emissions but creates several operational issues:

  • Carbon deposits causing valves to stick open
  • Potential for complete blockage leading to power loss
  • Engine warning lights and limp mode when failures occur

Our solution physically blocks and disables this system, preventing these common failures.

DPF System Removal Advantages

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) traps soot particles but requires:

  • Regular regeneration cycles that burn fuel without productive work
  • Possible manual cleaning or replacement
  • Significant restriction in exhaust flow

Without the DPF restriction, your engine breathes more freely, delivering better performance and reliability.

Customer Performance Expectations

What real-world benefits can you expect after Reimer Tuning's modifications?

  • Increased horsepower for tackling demanding jobs
  • Enhanced fuel efficiency during normal operation
  • Reduced downtime from eliminated regeneration cycles
  • Improved throttle response for better operator control
  • Lower operating costs without DEF fluid requirements

North American Expertise with Global Reach

While we're proudly based in Alberta, Canada, Reimer Tuning serves customers throughout North America and globally. Our streamlined shipping process ensures a smooth experience regardless of your location, with detailed customs information provided for international customers.
