Still looking for another 2015 Ram to get on the dyno?

What type of gains are you seeing or can we expect? Will we also be able to modify transmission?

Post by **mikel** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 12:43 pm

Gains are very similar to 13-14 models, about 15 rwhp.

No 8 speed control, no trans control on the cars, same as 11-14 stuff ideally.

hows this for a tease?
15 ram 5.7 8 speed, stock vs 93 tune on the dyno today

The above Dyno sheet from Mike was on my truck - 2015 Ram 1500 Sport QC. DS used it to load the 93 tune on a new PCM and Dyno tested it to validate that tune. They then returned the truck to me with both PCM’s (old one in mopar box the new one came in).
I have to say you guys are really going to be happy with the results from this tune!
My impressions after putting on only about 50 (spirited) miles since getting the truck back:
The truck as a whole feels much lighter when driving. In comparison, I previously had a 2011 Ram R/T w the 4.10 gears & a DS 93 tune & I really did feel the extra weight in the accelerator pedal on my new 2015 QC. But now with this tune, I REALLY feel like I'm back in the R/T…even with the 3.21 gears & 8-speed tranny. This is just what this truck needed!
Throttle response is greatly improved. No more torque management delays & just an instant rush when pressing the go peddle at any speed or any gear.
Bye Bye MDS - it is shut off & I couldn't be happier about it. No more sounds of a helicopter following me around while cruising.
Acceleration is noticeably stronger in all gears/speeds & tire chirps are now a common occurrence.
I have a 185 degree t-stat already installed & it now runs cooler since the fans kick on a little sooner. I'm not sure what DS set the fan on temps to, but while driving around prior to the tune, I was still getting up to about 218 degrees, but so far with the tune 200 is the highest I have seen.
It is a little early to make a determination on how this tune will impact my gas mileage, but It is a full size truck and I didn't really buy it thinking about gas mileage anyway, it is just not a concern to me much, as long as I don't dip into single digits, which I really don't expect based on my past experience with their tunes.
Mike & the guys at DS were great to work with during this process they kept me updated with info & sent me pics along the way. If you have had any concerns that they were dragging this release out or not doing everything they could...DON'T! They are working REALLY hard at making this the best they can make it & including support for everything they can before releasing it to us. Trust me this means more to them than it does to us, as there name & reputation as a company is on the product and they are approaching the release as such.
I’m sure release is not far off now, and at that point you will be REALLY happy with the improvements they have made, and the possibilities of what can come in the future, as they keep improving after initial release.

Thanks for the feedback Brian, glad to hear you are enjoying it!

Will this cover the 2015 Durango with the 5.7? I know it was stated earlier in the thread that it would be all, but just making sure it is since I don't remember seeing it referenced anywhere else again. Mainly looking to be able to disable MDS after installing aftermarket exhaust.

Also, are there any problems with putting a 2014 PCM into a 2015 vehicle? I'm guessing everything is the same with the exception of the "protection"?

Post by **mikel** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 5:38 pm

The 14 PCM works on the Wrangler, and *maybe* on the Cherokee, as I cant confirm, but the rest require the 15 PCM to be used.

This release will be V8 cars and Rams for sure, I seem to recall an issue with processing the files for the Cherokee so that may be a little behind.

I'm slightly confused as to where Jeeps were mentioned? I was asking if there will be support on a 15 Durango.

Cherokee/Durango are the same thing as far as the pcms go, my bad.

I mentioned wrangler for reference.

No worries. I was kinda thinking that but didn't want to make any assumptions. Thanks for the quick replies. Hopefully they get things sorted out so I can disable MDS when I take delivery of my new Durango.

We had a scat pack in here last week, gains were not as solid as the Ram, but it felt 100X better on the street with the tune, it was actually using all of the ridiculous power that 392 makes
