Please refer to answers given previously.
morning , I have done some research it seems if on original gear box it's not advised to remap as the alloy is of low grade, but the replacement box used high grade alloy so would stand more torque, what I really wanted to ask has anyone had a remap and if so any problems, thanks for your advice, Rob

The M57 has more than enough ooomph for a 2.5 tonne truck IMO, they are unreliable as standard so looking for more trouble, but each to their own.

I wonder where in the UK you can use more power? Traffic jams and ANPR cameras everywhere, last time I was over there it was impossible to get above 40mph.
very true, but you can't beat some take off power.I wonder where in the UK you can use more power? Traffic jams and ANPR cameras everywhere, last time I was over there it was impossible to get above 40mph.

In 2.5 tonnes? Rip the guts out of the gearbox, transfer box and diffs.
I took the power box off my P38 after it started to eat the gearbox, I can still beat most people away from the traffic lights.

Not worth it as I said it'll lunch the Gearbox.
If you want OOMPH buy a V8..
Or a Sports car..

Better still a V8 sports car. I'm quite happy with my suzuki 650 or BMW 1100 if I want to try and lose my license.
ok you all know where I'm coming from a td6 is very good but you can get more from them, all I get back is gear box problems, I have been a trucker for over 30 yrs never burnt a clutch out I think I have some idea how to drive, MY question was is has anyone add this done? And if so any problems after, I don't need a sports, but Good advice would help.

Nothing to do with driving experience.
The GM5L40E is on it's torque limit in standard form, put extra power through an aged Unit and I can guarantee you trouble. they'll lunch a box in standard tune.

ok but why is it that it takes sport mode and is very quick and it takes it, so if I'm right it should be more than able to cope?

Sports mode just extends the time between shifts to allow "rapid" acceleration it doesn't give access to more power.
Gearboxes on the TD6 seldom last past 90k.
