2010 ram engine knock on 89 octane

Post by HemisFEAR08 »

Let me start off by saying performance wise your product is great. Ive used my trinity on my 08 ram (93 oct.), 08 Aspen (only for logging) and now my
2010 ram (87 octane) but i am using 89 until i break it in. the power is great on my 2010 ram but i can hear a pronounced knock when i give it full throttle. Ive tried different brands of fuel with the same results I am worried that i am going to do damage to my engine. I did try to log it but even on my 2010 i do not have the ability to log knock. I have posted in the past about this issue under missing gauges. Do you guys think maybe i have a lemon trinity? I just think its wierd that its like this on all three vehicles even when i look for limiters rev etc. i have to go into WOT then back out and it appears. is this how its supposed to be or do i have an issue? I did try to reload crom 1r07 several times with the same results.

Thanks for all your help.

Lots of us with 09 and 10 ram hemis are having these issues with knock running the canned tunes they say that they are going to revise the tunes if it ever happens as it seems that thier are issues with all the ram tunes and its turning out to be a shit show what a joke. PS they say these tunes have been properly tested my ass

Start off by using 93 octane and see if it helps. If it does help add 5% fuel and retest. If there's an improvement but still a hint of audible Knock, remove 1 degree of WOT timing.

I think your Trinity firmware is a but fubared if you don't have the option to log the basic PIDs. I'd call service and force the old crom 1r06 back on and if that doesn't work, send it back for an exchange.

If you're actually scared of hurting the engine remove 5 degrees of WOT until you can log Knock Retard.

HemisFEAR08, post your tune and I'll check it.

rstp,,,no use in helplessly whining about it,,,try be slightly self sufficient and TUNE IT, thats what the tool is for. Every vehical is slightly different. Some need more tweaking than others big F'en deal. Pissing and moaning and just waiting for a handout just makes you look like an incompetant fool. Datalog and use the tool to pull out some timing or adjust the A/F based off your widband.

I swear some of you guys(mostly truck owners) are as dumb as a box of hammers and nearly as lazy. I see post, after post, after post, just biching and whining about what all amounts to as simple little tune tweaks and changes that even my Mom could do. Datalog, tweak timing or fuel, Datalog,,,repeat. Its not rocket science.

Hey DUSTER360 maybe you should get your mommy to quiet her job at nasa building rockets and get her a job at diablo as they could use a hand dealing with the issues us truck guys are having as it seems she had no problem tweaking your tune

I'll be sure to have her give you a call so she can hold your hand and help you tune your pos. :roll:


HemisFEAR08- Post your tune and I'll check it out for you.

And my comment was "uncalled for"? You let a user write this crap and tell me my comment was uncalled for.... Unbelievable. You know, not everyone here has been tunning for years. Some of the folks here whine and cry because they are learning. Learning "hands-on" because the manual is for crap. Secondly, if some of the support needed would happen in reasonable amount of time (ie - Ram promised revisions), whines and cries wound not turn into "bitches and moans". So my comment asking him when his mother is available does not seem out of line when he directed pointed comments toward me and others with the same historical DS problems!!!! Here's an idea - Print a decent maual, and deliver what you promise, and screen "holier-than thou" posts before you slam me for replying in defense!!!!! Does not matter anymore anyways - dumped my ds pos due to lack of support and revisions, and now can tune tranny, tm and get on down the road..... Where's the revision that was promised over a month ago?

You know, they promise shit all the time. Its not here, and you aren't the only ones who they support. Deal with it. Its not like you drive performance vehicles that will suffer from waiting. You drive freaking pickups for gods sakes! You guys need to get it through your heads that Mustangs, Vettes, and SRTs get priority, and even we're waiting!

The Boss at DiabloSport is an idiot. Bottom line. All he's concerned about it the almighty dollar. He'd rather keep releasing more stuff that will only be halfway done then get a few things done properly. And as long as he's in charge, its gonna remain that way. Unfortunetly DS is the only game in town for more heavily modded vehicles, so we have no choice but to deal with it.

Its funny how you claim to be the victim of a personal attack when my post precedes your own.

Who are you again?,,,,,never mind I suppose we should all assume you were offended in absentia because you're actually either:

A) "Dumb as a box of hammers and nearly as lazy."
B) "An incompetent fool"
C) One who make posts "just bitching and whining about what all amounts to as simple little tune tweaks and changes that even my Mom could do."
D) All the above

I'm guessing "D" "All the above"

BTW: I have every snot nosed 19 year old with a SRT-4 making comprehensive Datalogs, tuning Knock and A/F WITH A WIDEBAND, BY THEMSELVES and basically kicking ass with their DSP. SRT-4 DS users have their shit together and teach and mentor ourselves. We figure the shit out by datalogging and then we TUNE IT WITH THE DSP. We don't wait around to be spoon fed and coddled. If you haven't noticed, the DS forums are nearly devoid of any SRT-4 u7134 related post.

We(u7134) get the same support from Diablosport as you. Imo its more than satisfactory. If there's an issue, it gets a PROPORTIONAL amount of attention.[/b]

There been more than a few times on cars when the DSP 93tune runs like ass. Is it ever the tune's fault? RARELY.
Do users sit on their hands and just make post after post bitching about the tune? NO
So how do they "fix" their "bad" DS tune??
They DATALOG to check to see if there's other mechanical/electrical issues and fix them. They monitor A/F with their wideband. Then they make TIMING, FUEL and BOOST changes to dial in the tune TO THEIR CAR.

No other tool allows the comprehensive Datalogging that DS does. No other tool not only allows for custom tunes but also gives the end user the ability to make FUEL,TIMING changes to tune their vehicle like DS does. If you're too foolish to take advantage of the SIGNIFICANT tuning advantage granted to you by the purchase of a DS tool,, you’re better off stock

I will say, there is a reason that someone like Superchips would never release a tuner for these cars, as the adjustable parameters are almost necessary in some cases.

Can't disagree with you about tunning. And by the way, I did datalog and tune as much as I could. My issue with DS has nothing to do with the basic features. It has everything to do with support and delivering what was put out. Yes, (Mike Levy), I drive a "POS" truck. But I needed transmission schedule and tm settings available to pull my boat and other trailers. No (Mike Levy) It is not a performance car (Like your JEEP LOL), but I do need it to perform non the less. It was put on the forum a couple of months ago that the new revision was coming with trans control. The last post I received from MikeL was that "there will never likely be trans control". WTF????

Who the hell are you to judge me as any of that? People like you that think you are all knowing and god almighty make support hard to get from people that are NEW and LEARNING. And if you had read any of my other posts you'd have noticed I said that "DS is superior in tunning", and "when they ever come out with trans management I'd be the first one back". But I suppose you missed that cause you were:

a) On Crack
b) Don't care about anyone but yourself
c) Mad because your feelings got hurt
d) All of the above PLUS your pissed at the world because that 3rd grade education did'nt get you very far.

I'd bet "D"
