Dodge 2012 1500 Towing Tune??

Post by Shabbashack »

Hey guys - i just purchased my Diablosport trinity T-1000. I have to say that my knowledge is almost zero on how it works even after reading the whole manual. Not that it's Diablo's fault but me knowing nothing about vehicle post 1990. :D

The reason I bought the T-1000 is so I can get some extra towing power. I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi. I put 91 octane in for gas. I have the tuner set on 93 octane which I guess from reading a few other forum might be a bad thing with only having 91 octane gas. I can change that(i have found that my gas milage is way better) I haul a travel trailer that weighs about 9500 lbs and my truck's max is 10,500 lbs. Not a lot of wiggle room when going through the mountain roads in British Columbia.

My question's are, what would be the best setting on my diablo for towing my trailer? Now keep in mind I can barely turn the thing on haha. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Also, but putting in 91 octane gas and setting my diablo at 87 octane would that increase my gas milage even more?

I love extra speed but don't notice that much difference in just using the tuner. I bought this tuners more for hauling power and torque up those mountain hills.

Thanks guys!

load the 91 tune with some good 91 fuel and you'll add some nice low end power for towing assistance.

Best mileage will depend on your driving style, the added power of premium fuel may help over the cost savings of 87....
