BREAKIN UP

Post by liljohn30 »

I have sa 08 qc hemi ram.I have a volant intake,flowmaster cat back predator tuner and 180 stat,I just drove from nj to atlanta and she was breaking up on the highway,between !.5 and 2k..kinda run good then burble then kick back in gear.up could def feel it..I was at about 70 mph once the truck kicked back in it run good..There are no faults ,i looked with the predator and engine light etc didn't light up..Maybe a coil pack for what my brother in law said,hes bmw mechanic and says the hemis are notorious for that..I need help..lolI tried the other tunes in the predator and no help really,and i did even encounter a few times after load'n a tune the truck didn't want to go any where when starting off,i had to drop the hammer for it to move,though reding the tune fixed that prob..I hope it isn't trans issue but maybe simple...any help please I HAVE THE 9R 08 CROM

When you get back to Jersey, hit me up if you wanna try different coils. I have my stockers.

If you have a laptop, you can log through it and see if there are any misfires on each cylinder seperately.

You just need the DS Dataviewer software. I haven't done it in a long time, so somebody else will have to tell you exactly how to do it.

after you get the dataviewer software installed... start it up, and go to Help - Help Topics - Real Time Data - Live Data Capture and it has the info on how to do it...
