in the modify parameter menu under advanced tune you'll see fan settings.

So which settings would be good for this thermostat?
I also changed it, but changed nothing in PCM until now...

Okay, you mean 20 degrees F or C?
Or 20 %?

OK, found it, but had to update the tuner by wifi and start again.
So, I changed the parameters and after that I pressed "install tune" was this right?
So is my Eastune 93 octane now still working?

One further thing, had one inpossible setting found:

356°F can't be right, or?
So what would be a right temperature for a 2014 RAM 1500 5,7 HEMI 4x4?

looks good. the odd value should reset as soon as you move it down a little bit.

Okay, thanks, I will try.

TCM tune seems to be the same as before, but throttle boost / PCM seems to be not the same as before with only the easy tune. So what to do now?

Okay, sorry, my English is not the best.
I have previously installed the 93 octane tuning via EasyTune.
Then now I manually adjusted the fan temperature and then put this tuning back in. Is this the correct process?
It seems, that e.g. the throttle boost is not working now.

Or asked differently, what would be the ideal way to import the 93 octane tuning including the adjusted fan temperatures for the 180°F thermostat?

Thanks for your help, @mikel!

if you go to the modify tune menu and adjust the fans then reload the tune, its reloading whatever the last tune was plus the new changes, so it should all be the same.

Okay, thanks Mike!
I think, I will start from the beginning with installing by EasyTune and after that modify the fan 👍🏻
At the moment it seem really, that throttle boost is not active.

i noticed when my stock tune is installed the fan comes on around 205 degrees and the 180 thermostat seems to open in suit at that temp. when i install the diablo tune, 93 oct CAI, 91 oct CAI tunes thermostat and fans operate at 180 degrees. It appears diablo took care of that for me. My 87octane gas saver does the same. thanks again guys.
