(based on what I knew about the hemi in my daytona)Big horn wrote:Yeah I got the ignition software also. I Havent used it since I had already updated my intune. The fan settings,I still have the stock thermostat. If I dropped the temp from 230 down to 215,does that mean my truck will run at 215 driving extremely hard? Summer time is here and I was towing my temps got to 223 I think? I live in the Smokey mountains so if I can get the temps down that would be great. Also I have a CAI. Otherwise the truck is stock. I'm looking for a little kick with good MPG. The truck being stock I doubt the CAI will have any affect. Thanks.
If you change the temps it will result in the fans coming on sooner... can have a positive impact.. at least did on the charger.. but I also had a 180 degree tstat.. I saw an improvement even with the canned MPG tune.. both mileage and power were better than stock..
I know setting the tuner at 215 won't make it run at that temp.. it will just make the fans come on sooner and it will then TRY to make it to that temp.. while towing in the mountains isn't gonna happen.. but 230 is nowhere near scary.. changing your thermostat to something that opens earlier may help in conjunction with engaging the fans sooner too...
