Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
I seriously doubt that. BD was trying hard to be the only ones to have a tune out. Diablo caught them by surprise. They just didn't have enough time to get all the tunes out is simply that. They cracked the codes and released tunes in one week before the biggest car shows there is. BD doesn't have anything released. Diablo has just about everything released. Like they have already mentioned they have cracked the code and are just testing. Why would they be waiting to just simply test for BD? Just need to wait for what they say and stop shooting in the dark.
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
Thats the problem... they arent saying anything and the few posts they have are hardly direct.
And why would I not bring up this rumor about Ripp? You must not be one of the people who bought this when Diablo was claiming 11+. Im sure you would understand if you spent $600 on something you have been waiting nearly a year for only to find out you have to wait even longer. If the Ripp rep was telling the truth then its the only date that Diablo has given and bringing it up on the forum isnt "spreading a fire". Its simply bringing it to everones attention.

Woa chill out. Were you not the one who opened your mouth last week saying "I just talked to a tech who said they are 100% positive it will be here next week"dtru1222 wrote:Thats the problem... they arent saying anything and the few posts they have are hardly direct.

Not starting anything, but come on. That is the kind of rumor crap that gets things blown out of proportion. Just stop. They haven't said anything on ANY of the forums this last week as they were getting ready for a big show their COMPANY has a big part in. They need to continue appearances to further sale their product. Most shops who take part in car shows/big meets have to take their entire staff along with them for help. Pretty much closing the shop down completely leaving them short staffed. NOT TO MENTION it is the weekend. Let them rest, give them this week to respond. Patience is the key here. Jamming it down their throats is only going to make them madd. I asked them directly specific questions that everybody wants to know. We need to give them the chance to reply to it. All this is doing is pushing that post further back in line and they probably won't see/read it the more we reply about this crap. Just chill, bringing things to light that are 100% fact is one thing. Bringing rumors to light is something girls in JR high did. Now lets sit back and be patient tomorrow is Monday, they might be back in the shop tomorrow, I do not know. As the Show they were apart of might last longer than I think. It started the 29th.
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
We have no other option but "shooting in the dark" at this point. As we all know DS is not giving us any info. I've been waiting nearly 2 years for a tune. Originally for an '11 Ram and now for my '12. I, as well as many others, just want to hear something other than "we're working on it." I wish that I wasn't about 2400 kms away so I could bring my truck in for some testing. @Chaney, good luck on getting them to answer "directly specific questions" this is the problem we are all concerned about.
2016 Ram Sport. Black with black out package. Anti Spin diff, 3.92 gears, factory air ride, Magnaflow 18" muffler, Billet Catch Can, S&B Intake, Moe's 87MM in the process and awaiting PCM reflash for Hemifever Tune.
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
I have a truck with over 8 grand into it. Performance mods and other things. My truck was bought to be used and driven hard. I have major tuner supporting mods such as a complete gear swap, and long tube headers that need a tune to even work to get my 02 sensors turned off. Headers alone are a cool grand. I know what you mean. Again we are on the same team.
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
No.. Im not the one who said they were 100% coming out this week. If you read this thread you would see that I was trying to see if a vendor was telling the truth or just trying to spread hype so people would buy from him. Once Diablo said that it was not coming out that week I went back to the other forum and let everyone know, so that a lot of people did not buy from him because he was giving false information.
I dont like that you tell me to chill out then proceed to talk in a aggressive manner. I wasnt trying to start anything with you but talking about playing little childerens games and then just saying wait just like Diablo is a little frustrating.
There are more than one types of communication, this forum is not the only outlet. If a vendor says they spoke to Diablo directly then I will ask them if its true. If a rep of any company states that Diablo gave them a timeframe which we have been asking for, then I will ask them if its true.

Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
Okay okay, I apologize I did not know you were quoting from another person. He was posting on my forum as well saying the same thing. He got a pretty good lashing. Haven't heard from him again.

Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
Call me crazy- but I'd still like to see a reply from DiabloSport on this one. (crickets....)
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
I think your dreaming... after all the hype the did (and mis-information), I think they are stalled, and are sticking their heads in the sand and hiding from those that they misled. I doubt that they will step up and give any reliable information, if anything it will just be more of the same "soon, "we're working on it" etc. 
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
I wonder if Chrysler has anything to do with the hold up on the tunes for the 2012 Rams... Kinda funny How Ralph Giles said tuning would be out after sema and two companies had tunes for the 2011 Rams as soon as sema came about. Now the hold up is with the 2012 Rams, they say it's because of the new "6" speed trans but if you do research the trans "3rd" gear is only used when manually shifting when towing. I mean superchips isn't anywhere close to even having tunes out for 2011 model Chrysler products. Not trying to second guess DiabloSports or the hard work they do, either way I will still buy their tuner over other companies I just think Chrysler has their hands in on the tuning...

Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
wow...you guys dig too deep 
There is no conspiracy.
We can simply only do so much at once.
We did 11 ram and wrangler cause they were the same (tune-wise) as 2010.
We did 11-12 cars, because we knew they were in the most demand.
12 ram/wrangler is next, nobody outside this building is influencing what direction we go by any means...
Thanks

Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
Thanks for the hard work,but any time frame when the tunes will be released.I hate to be pain in the a$$ but some kind of eta would be helpful.I have a tuner under my back seat growing dust lol.

I am not upset that it hasn't come out, i am sure it is coming. The lot of us is just frustrated that we, the buyers of a 600+ dollar item, were told these would be released and able to be used way back when... All we have gotten is "we are working on it". I'm sorry, I own a small business myself. It is NOT hard to look at something in the work and go "well this is the priority level said work is at, and all this needs to get done before we get a chance at said work, so it will be a good 2-3 weeks" An estimated time, would even be okay. You sold a product, YOU, Diablosport, created hype. Now you are not answering anybody who bought YOUR PRODUCT with actual information. Stop taking us around the block. We aren't 8 year olds. Look at what is going on, inform us of what is happening, what stage it is at, what is left to do, how many people are working on it at a given point, tell us if it is back behind a list of other things needing to be done, THEN create a date around that info. This is getting ridiculous. You guys have a good product, I am just looking for a platform to base a custom tune off of, I don't even care what canned tunes you have. I just need a tuner. Damn 600 dollar paperweight has been sitting here for awhile now. Hell I have 2grand in parts waiting to be installed for this release. Can we get some info? please. You're a good company now get us some info please.
Mikel THANK YOU, for the reply. I am glad you guys are still interested. But in the above paragraph I asked certain questions. If you could answer some at least to get us, the consumer of your product, on the same page with release dates. It is getting to the point where they NEED to be answered. Or I will return this tuner. Hype was created that all the tunes would come out. I can understand being a little delayed in between each vehicle. How ever we have ALL given you plenty of time to come up with either the tunes or answers to WHEN the tune will come out.
Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
my 2 cents :
im sure they would like to get it out for you ASAP. they make more money as people will buy their stuff. you are happy because your car/truck goes 0.01 seconds faster. WIN WIN.
what we DONT want is half baked rubbish tunes which brick cars or worse... damage them beyond simple software flashing.
just let them take their time. im sure they want to sell more of their stuff and make more money just as much as you want a tune for your vehicle

Re: 2012 Ram 5.7 Hemi
The difference is hype and words had these released back before Sema. That is what their company was saying. People, ON THIS WORD, went out and spent 600 dollars. Now those hundreds of people who spent that money have it sitting on their kitchen table with nothing but "we are working on it" responses. Hype and false advertising are coming into play. 0.01 faster? You do realize things like super chargers, headers, cams, even bigger NOS setups CAN NOT be run with out tuning? With out tuning you are blocked off from 99% of the aftermarket. I myself have a cool grand in longtubes sitting in my garage. A good 30HP+ modd. Ontop of being able to go to a dyno tuner and getting my truck custom tuned which can result in LOTS of gains. There is a guy who has a FULL SIZED 2011 CC 1500 Hemi running a 0-60 as fast as an SRT8 Challenger. With bolt ons and a custom tune. Little more to it than a 0.01 gain. Canned tunes will NEVER compare to anything. Not to mention once you get passed the computer these trucks have all the same moving parts aside from the trans as the 2009-11s. Not much you have to tweak with the tune file as it is the exact same truck just about.dkoong wrote:my 2 cents :

Simple as it is, we were told before Sema. Since then we have been told "working on it" while we have a 600 dollar product on the table. The waiting has been done. As they only had the challengers/chargers on the dyno for a week and the tunes were released.
