I just bought a 2019 Ram. I have an i2 that I have used on a Charger and an older Ram I used to own. I will eventually want to place a tune on my new truck. I have done some reading and I understand my options (at this point) are to buy a modified PCM for my truck or send my current PCM in for modification. I still have a few questions I hope you can answer.
• Regardless of the method I choose (buy modified or send mine in), will I still need a tuner to upload a new tune to the PCM? If so, can it be done by the i2 I currently own? I am hoping my i2 is still useful.
• If I send my PCM in to be modified, will it cause my truck to fail the required emissions test I have to get each year?
• What kind of gains can I expect from modifying the PCM?
Sorry if the questions seem simple. I am just trying to get a grip on my options.
Regards

Yes the i2 can be updated and work. You'll also need a bypass module.
• If I send my PCM in to be modified, will it cause my truck to fail the required emissions test I have to get each year?
Nope, the pcm will function 100% like stock.
• What kind of gains can I expect from modifying the PCM?
The tunes offer close to 30 rwhp over stock on premium fuel...plus better throttle response, better shifting performance, and more.
Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. Now, all I have to do is work on the kitchen pass, LOL.
