Anyone tuning the 2014 8 speed trucks? On the web everyone is only tuning the 15+. Im thinking of just moving on to hemifever tuning. It's not ideal but it has to be better than what I have. My question with hemifever how is the torque management managed? Say that 3 times lmao.

Alright Mike, quick question for you. What is the status of 2012-2013 ZF8 TCM tuning?

Bro, I've been waiting since 2012, purchased the i1000dcx until you told me it wouldn't receive the TCM update, so now I have an I2, and just got the word that it's already EOL.

So far, I've spent $1100 on Diablosport, waited 5+ years, and still have not been able to access the "complete calibration" (PCM/TCM) I purchased this programmer for. I'm not mad, I'm just about that the point to make up my mind to quit this whole aftermarket calibration thing and spend my time telling others my experiences so that they don't have to go through what I've gone through.

I bought my car with the ZF8HP45 Transmission occupying a key role in it's performance and potential, I bought the tuner because there are certain things I wanted to toggle/change. I've paid for 100% of the options, but have so far only received 50% of what I deem necessary to complete tuning.

I'm just tired of this Mike, you guys are breaking my faith in the aftermarket calibration industry, and like a dummy I've kept following that carrot on a stick for half a decade, while also keeping a slew of people interested in and purchasing your products, so yes in some small way this has affected your bottom line.

You guys still haven't fixed the TCM adaptation reset bug that your updates broke on the i1000dcx, strangely it's still broken on the i2 and Mike, that was almost 4 years ago that you said you were working on the fix.

I'm hoping the fix doesn't take that long. They "flew a guy in" to supposedly fix this issue about a month ago. We will see...

Hey Mike, is there any sort of update for the pre-'15 8-speeds? Even a "still working on it" is better than complete silence. I'm keen to get a tuner for our '12 Charger but I'm not spending the $$$ until the trans tuning is available.

So it's going on 4 weeks. How much more time is "a little more time"? Many of us paid full price for a partial product. I was really primarily interested in the trans tune, as I knew it would make a lot more difference in the performance and feel than the engine tune. I'm basing that on my experience with DiabloSport and my C6 Vette automatic. I'm hoping that holds true with my 2014 Jeep 5.7, whenever it is available, because the engine tune made very little, if any, noticeable difference. And that was with an extra $100 for Hemifever to custom tune it.

Is there any updates on trans tuning with the i2 for the 2014 ram 1500 8 speeds?

Am I missing something? I purchased an I3 and some of the product features are not available. after I put in my vehicle (2014 ram 1500 5.7) information on your website it shows me that I can change shift points, shift firmness and torque management. Seems to me a little false advertising is happening here.

the web has been corrected.
Unfortunately it was showing universal info which would be partially correct for a 6 speed as no Rams have options for shift pressures or torque management adjust.
The goal was not to provide false info, it was an honest oversight.
if you feel mislead we offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and we'd understand if you want to return it.

Oh, well that sucks for me. Are we talking days or weeks or months for the pre-2015?

Sadly looking like months at this point. :roll:

At this point I'm just hoping my i2 is even still compatible with the trans tune, since the i3 has been out for a bit now.
