Trinity T-1000 does not support 03-10 Ram TCM Hemis

Post by AZHEMI »

The trinity since 1r11a update does not support tcm tuning. It appears that DS has known about it for years and has no plans to bring back the support for the DCX file. To preoccupied with being first to market with bugged updates then taking care if the current market that could be solid for them. DS knows about the lack of tcm support since 2013 and hasnt done anything to rectify the situation. Seems that HP tuners are the only ones that can cover their existing customers rather then worry about being first to market with bugged updates.

did I not tell you I was working on it, and needed a vehicle here?

Why would you make a post like this after the effort I have made for you to try to resolve this over the past week+?

I never told you we have no intention of not fixing this. I understand you are frustrated but this doesn't help.

You're too nice Mike. Tell him if he don't like the steps you're taking, he can take his decade old, obsolete, POS beater and have HPTuners try to tune it. You don't need customers like him. Plus you already got his money, so fuck him. :lol:

God, guy acts like he has a nice new truck and you're telling him to go screw off. :roll:

Hmmm, funny part is I dont remember talking to you. That shows how significant your comment means. LOL as for the money, got it all back from 4wheelparts and went with HP Tuners.

You're not talking to anybody. You're just ranting like a little bitch. You need to get over yourself. You have a 10 year old truck from a manufacturer who's done everything in their power to try to kill tuners. If they choose to help you at this point, thats their choice. If they don't, too bad, try a more recent vehicle from a manufacturer who isn't out to screw the aftermarket.

Well to each his own, my shit may be old, but its paid for not financed. But thats cool, if thats how DS likes to treat their customers with bitch ass rants like yours. Cool cool but i never had to sell any if my rides to pay bills which i currently have 3 mopars. My truck was the last with DSP, all are now tuned with HP which by the way did have the support for the tcm. Later

DiabloSport does a lot of stupid things. We just gotta deal with it or move on. Whoever chooses what cars get done and in what order is clueless to the market. I've offered them cars that could easily sell a hundred thousand units and have substantial 100+hp gains, and instead, they choose to work on economy cars and Hyundais. Fucking geniuses.

Why have your logo on a 10 second German when you can have it on a 15 second Chevy or Ford? Boy, that'll impress people real good and make them want your device. :normal:

Doesnt need to impress the market, the market dictates what consumers want. Considering the North American continent is covered by 1 of the big 3 auto manufacuters...business sense says go there first. But hey to each his own, as reported by NADA and MT, most of the vehicles registered and sold in North America were, ford, gm, dodge/chrysler, toyota and nissan.

Problem is, people who buy those vehicles aren't, for the most part, enthusiasts. They're buying Point A to Point B transportation. People who buy Germans are one of 2 groups. They're enthusiasts or they're yuppies. The percentage of owners who mod are significantly higher than Domestic or Japanese owners. Thusly, supporting them would be a much better idea then supporting a Focus or a Hyundai.

The German marques share engines and DMEs through their lines, so if one vehicle is supported, so are a half dozen (or more) others. If they support the 335, that means they also support the 235, 435, 535, 640, 740, X1 35i, X3 35i, X5 35i and X6 35i. Thats 10 cars while only having to create a single tune. Same thing with Mercedes and Audi, tune the C300, the tune also works on the C400, C450, E400, S400, and all their SUV lines (GLE, GLC, GL, etc), tune the S4, the A6, A7, A8, SQ5 and Q7 are also supported. It seems like common sense to me. Why tune for a limited market with 1 or 2 cars, when you can tune for 8-10 doing the same work, for a market thats virtually endless?

Its more than just numbers. If it was just numbers there would be tons of stuff available for the Accord and Camry, but there isn't. There is a load available for the GT-R though, which they're lucky if they sell 1,000 a year of.

Its the potential available that makes tuners support them. Huge gains for minimal work. All the Germans have similar potential. They're all force fed, with compressors that are extremely understressed from the factory.

My car came with 9psi from the factory. With a piggyback, not even a real tune, it was hitting 21psi and making an extra 100+hp. And that wasn't even limited by the turbo, it was the High Pressure Fuel Pump that maxed out because of the high ethanol content in my fuel. If a piggyback can do that, a real tune should be able to make even more by increasing flow from the low pressure pump.

Same with my 3.0T Audi A6. Piggyback, increased boost by keeping the bypass valve closed (its supercharged, not turbo), easy 70hp. Swap the pulley as well, another 50 on top of that.

Those are the typing of things that econoboxes can't do. With 4 cylinders, the turbos are significantly smaller without as much reserve because the motors can't deal with much lag due to their lack of size and torque. That limits their gains without swapping the turbo.

Thats all fine and great for 4 bangers, but if the tech dept. cant seem to fix issues with out the old send us your tuner at another cost to the consumer. Yet, DS was always claim to fame was first to market with messed up tunes. So how one can justify supporting a small nitch of nissan gtrs, vs f150s which is in the millions it all about numbers. The more units u sell the more you make, however flipside being if your software developer keeps cranking out bugged updates, with freezing tuners, putting vehicles into limp mode, making vehciles unable to start with botched ir corrupted programming. Time to change software vendors....this not only applies to the latest and greatest car/truck to market. If you cant support your oldest base of customers, most of which do a common compairison on google and read reviews it tends to keep potential clients away. And in particular not hard to reach out to those who have problems and see what the eventual out come has become. There are a wide varitiy of problems with the trinity, lack of QC is one, programming errors on all makes and models aross the board. So business sense dictates take care of the fucked up programming errors you have now, support your current customer base. The strongest make or break for a business nowadays is social media and a few pissed consumers and ut spreads from there. Sure you cant please them all thats a given, but the pick and choose who you help is assinie and effects overall bottom line.
