Your Mom
New guy here bare with me please. I have a R/T on order and would like to tune. Is there anything out for the 17s yet? From what ive read it looks like you need a 2nd pcm to swap with your stocker correct? I keep seeing diablo, hemifever, i2, trinity etc thrown around. Im kind of confused. Is there a complete tuning kit that has everything you need for a '17 or do you have to buy pieces seperate? Thanks.

2017 will need an unlocked ecu. But its not ready for tuning yet. Diablo says they are close with 2017 but haven't given me a solid date.

I will have a complete kit for you. The tuner with an ecu (and you have a 2nd ecu for tuning) or a tuner/ecu exchange where you send your factory one back.

I'm patiently waiting on this tune so I can add the throttle body and headers with the tune.

Just bumping this up to see if there has been any update in the last month on when this will be available for the 2017.

Thanks, Jason

Who all is running a tuned 17? I'm waiting on something to come thru in a week or two and I'll be placing my order.

So, we need to come up with an ecu to get a tune? I've never done a tune and just bought a 2017 RAM 1500 5.7 Hemi.

Yes, it'll need an unlocked ecu for tuning. the tuner device itself is not able to unlock the ecu and needs to be unlocked on the main Diablo bench

Can you explain what these items are? Intune i2? 1000-dcx? Diablo intune?

Is getting the second ecu instead of doing the ecu exchange worth the extra $400? Any benefit besides being able to put the stock one back in for warranty work? Is the mileage stored in the ecu? Sorry for all the questions lol

Folks like to have the extra ecu for a little insurance. Its quick to swap out before going to the dealer but you can always keep the unlocked ecu in all the time. Before you go to the dealer restore the stock file back to it. Then re-tune it once home.
