New to Cummins power.. Have a few questions

I have a Trinity and its married to my 08 Charger Daytona atm. Was wondering since I see that a trin can work with the truck I just got (2005 3500 dually). Was wanting to know if I can un marry and get the crom for the truck and through a tune in? Or is there some special steps needed to complete this or will this work at all? I am new to trucks and diesel so I am here to ask the forum for support. Feel free to chime if you think any info would help!
Thanks!

Just restore the backup to the car, and change the vehicle type to the 2005 Ram Cummins and load the tune up.
Hang on to your hat if you've never tuned a diesel before

Sweet! What type of gains should I expect? Generally speaking of course

Up to 200 rwhp/300+ ft/lbs are available.
Id suggest loading the 100HP Performance/economy tune and be sure to take it easy on the trans because there will be a lot of temptation once you feel the new power....

Truck is used.. came off a ranch.. has 115k miles... any special considerations I should keep in mind.. its going to be towing at most a 7000 boat, and small sedans etc.. nothing to extreme like a 5th wheel until I upgrade the diffs, and tranny etc...

If towing over 8K pounds, use the tow tune, otherwise, enjoy
