2011 Dodge ram shifting issues...when's the fix coming?

[Tyler11Express]

Post the last tune you loaded in to the truck and they'll edit it or you can wait for the update to do it yourself.

OK just got back from doing a couple test runs with the latest revision and it's still doing the same thing in Drive, 6200 1-2 and then 5800 2-3. It'll hold 2nd all the way to 6200 though if I manually shift it to "3rd"(2nd Prime), but I really want to keep it out of 2nd Prime!

Any ideas or help?

Johan's been busy, I'll bug him tomorrow

I loaded the stock tune and drove it home about 25 miles. I disconnected the battery for a couple minutes then reloaded the latest tune and still the same thing, in drive it'll shift at 1-2 at6200 or so and then 2-3 at 5800 or so. Marku is not having this problem.
Like I said if I manually shift it, it'll hold 2nd to 6200 then I press the up shift on the column to "3"(2nd prime) and again it'll hold till 6200 then I press the up shift to "4"(really 3rd gear). I don't want to go into "3"(2nd prime) at all costs, I want it to shift to 3rd gear on it's own.

Here's the latest tune written,

hey Tyler,

couple changes that are in marku's tune that may help, these settings shifted 1-2 WOT @ 6,267 and 2-3 Wot @ 6,236

tune to try, and marku's log to look at

[white_lightning]

At least it's going to 6090. My 6k tune went 5912rpm and was bouncing

mine just bounce at 5711 in 2-3 gear @ 80mph then bounced again at 6212@ 81 mph before shifting in 2-3
1-2 it hit after 6090 the dropped to 5700 ish @44mph

if this works for you same as marku, your truck should start to shift about 6,100 and complete the shift about 6,250 for both WOT 1-2 and WOT 2-3

there was an additional part to the rev limit for 11 and 12 Rams. Johan found it and added it to the tune templates.

being able to raise this new part of the rev limit seems to have fixed the issue of not being able to shift WOT above 6,000 for 11 and 12 Rams

[Tyler11Express]

Thanks Dave, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

[white_lightning]

you're welcome Tyler.

keep a close eye on the tach when you try this tune, and let up if it goes much past 6250.

marku is shifting at about 6250 with the same settings, hope they work same on your truck.

11 and 12 Rams act a little odd. have to set shift points for about 6400 to get them to shift about 6100, makes me a little nervous.............

gave you some extra info on the tune in an email.

[mikel]

not sure what instructions you were reading, you only have to restore to update the tool.
If you restore the stock tune, there is nothing in the tool to export

Load the tunes, then use DSDL to export the tunes from the tool.

[larry613]

So did you guys ever come out with a update for the tool yet?

[mikel]

Not yet, Johans been slammed with 2013 stuff, but hes working on it in between

Hey Mikel,

If my understanding is correct I now understand that you have a fix for the 2011 & 2012 shift points?
I have attached a copy of my LastTune written for this mod.

Appreciate the help with getting it sorted.


Cheers,

Mouritz
