New Jeep features, new Ram HEMI tunes!

Tried the test crom. The locker feature doesn't work on my 2010 rubi. Also if I go into the locker menu then try to write the tune I get a Failure to write code and have to return to stock.

The truck jumps to life now off the line as it should without the sluggish feel it had on the newer tunes. After using the tune again today, i definitely think the shifting is better, firmer.

The ONLY complaint i have left (for over a year now) is the fact that overdrive kicks in at around 38 mph and drops the rpm to around 1250 (approx) which makes the transmission buck n shudder. I can turn off overdrive or speed up to over 45 mph and the problem goes away. If there is any way you can make overdrive not kick in until after 45 mph or have rpm's after overdrive kicks in over 1400, then i believe the problem would be gone.

Overall Great improvement on the Tune!
A+ Improvements!

2006 QC 4x4 5.7L
CAI / Fan Delete / 170 Deg F Stat
93 Oct BP Gas / 93 Perf Tune 9r12a (test)

Try the performance tranny tune.With 392's it will stay in 3rd till 45mph.Hopefully Diablo will eventually give us control over 3-4,4-5 shift's.

just updated to this crom the throttel adjust is a nice feature at all the way max it got rid of the dead spot when you first touch the gas ( very noticeable on a stick) havnt tested the MPG booster but the 91 permormance tune seems to be smoother

how bad does the mpg tune kill performance?

Do the new Hemi features apply to aspen a well? Basically is it worth me downloading for the 2009 aspen 5.7?

can you post your calid?

the locker feature has wored on everything we tried, but i am more concerned about the write failed.

rob, how do you know it does not work?

Also, did you change any parameters when it said write failed?

x2 on control over 3-4,4-5 shift's for us '05 & '06 Ram owners.

also, a WOT 3-4 max rpm Scalar for '05 & '06 Dodge Ram trucks like '07+ Dodge Ram trucks have would be nice.

Mikel,
you like to talk numbers and percentages.

WHAT is up with finishing the trans control folder for '05 & '06 Dodge Rams in ALL gears in 4x4 low range, but only finishing 1-2 & 2-3 control in the 2x4 and/or high range trans control folder????

there are a LOT more 2x4 '05 & '06 Dodge Ram trucks than 4x4 '05 & '06 Dodge Ram trucks, and most 4x4's do more highway miles in 2x4 hi-range than offroad in 4x4 low, so how do the people in Diablo management justify giving the smaller group of trucks control of 4th & 5th for offroad only, which is the least common driving condition??

You make it sound like Johan just sits here and decides what should be added or not.
Sometimes, its really easy to add certain things, so they get added, needed or not.
Other things are very tough to map out or make sense of, thus they dont get added. The assumption that management has any clue what is being added to the templates is crazy. I have said it to you before, and will say it again, making templates is the HARDEST thing we do. Tougher than reverse engineering most PCMs. harder than making a tool that can flash 1000s of different calibrations, harder than tuning 1000+ rwhp HEMis, harder than ANYTHING we do, not to mention incredibly time consuming.

And since you asked, what Management does see is the U7137 selling by the 1000s, and only one person asking for this stuff, do the math

make that 2 more besides me on this forum:
1)TooCoolHemi, who just asked for what I asked for in less detail.
2) need-a-cage addressed the same issue in his "Need more trans control for '06" thread.

same request has been made many times by many people on other forums, and some have bought Superchips instead of Diablo due to more trans control for '04- '06 Ram trucks.

motorscooter has publicly stated here that he would buy Superchips in a heartbeat if they did custom PCM tuning because he wants shift adjustment for his '04 Ram.

I am guessing that what happened is, Johan had a time allotment imposed by his supervisor for deciphering the '05 & '06 TCM's, and he ran out of time before getting to 3-4, 4-5, 5-4 & 4-3 shifts for 2x4/high range for 4x4's.

seems like an interesting use of time to add something to a template that is not needed.

X2 Mikel and others, what does this tune change that could effect the gas mileage (part throttle maps, shift pattern, slightly lean in open loop)? If installed what tune does it closely match for performance? What is the recommend fuel octane if loaded? Save us the time and the guesswork if you can.

It is designed for minimum of 87 octane and wont do much to add power, although there is some TM reduction for SOTP 'feel'.

I honestly try not to have to come here and reply to you with responses that make you look....'uninformed', but you make it hard not to.

Again, Johan is not given any 'time allotment' for anything he does. he is given a project, and it gets done when it gets done, and it is up to him and no one else what goes in those templates, as he is the one who makes them, period.

You should re-read my last reply.

Now, re-read it again.

Has the part about making templates not being easy sunk in yet??

The 05-06 TCM template is its own mess due to being separate from the PCM template, which is priority number one for 99% of our customers and tuners. The reason we have a successful tuning company is we continue to move forward with new products and applications.

If Johan had spent the last month adding some shift parameters to the TCM templates for 3 customers, would it have gotten us any closer to supporting 2011 Chrysler applications, of which we have 1000s of people across the country BEGGING us for a product that they can buy and use right now? You have to understand something...we are a HARDWARE company. Johan and my paychecks are directly related to selling Predators and trinitys, custom tuning is secondary to the whole ballgame. Without us having Predators and trinitys to sell, there would be no such thing as custom tuning for DCX applications.

For now, Johan has his plate full, and then some. Once we get into the 2011 PCMs, he'll be on the dyno for weeks straight developing tunes for the masses, in addition to figuring out how this new PCM works, so that when our CMR tuners have questions, we have answers. In addition to that, he also still happens to be our GM tuner, so he has to keep up with all the latest calibrations affecting our GM and DCX tools, I could go on and on, but maybe you can see why he hasn't stopped to add these parameters.

Thanks

Mike do relize you just told your cmr licensed dealer's and there customer's SORRY but we don't have time for you.Who taught you how to count.If you search this forum you'll find more than 3 with this request.Ask anyone with a handheld or in cmr if they would like to have more control of there shift point's.What do you think there response would be?Does Cmr not generate it's part of your revenue?Why would Diablo put out cmr and not perfect it to the point of there dealer's to make money and there customer's are happy? I paid for both and i'm not happy.I have no tcm option's when loading a custom tune and to be frank i'm afraid to make adjustment's for fear of not having a truck to drive.Am i asking to much for my tool to work properly and have a surge free truck? We know you guy's have to move forward to keep in business,but does that mean everybody who came before no longer count's?Have you guy's thought about getting someone who can help Johan to make these templete's?I think that were not asking to much for a few thing's to be added.If you think making a templete is hard try getting a cammed Hemi tuned to satisfaction.Sorry Mike but i've sat and been ignored and blowed off while i'm still having problem's and no one's listening or even care's.The way i see it is it would'nt take much to make us all happy.If you want to sell more tuner's your best form of advertisment is a happy customer.No one is asking for instant adjustment's just to give us what we need to be happy with our truck's.At the moment i would be happy to have tcm option's and make adjustment's without fear of not having a truck to drive.Is this also to much to ask?
