I don’t have a V6 but, it sho nuff woke my 6.4 up. It started acting like a top fuel dragster with a nose full of nitrous. I absolutely love it and I’ll move it to my Ram when the time comes...
Best $300 I ever spent that the wife don’t know about


I Love My 2018 RAM 2500HD 4x4 6.4L. USMC (ret)

I like it! Easiest mod ever with a big impact. Someone else had said, this is how it should have come from the factory. I think they are 100% correct. I think if the Pentastar's had come from the factory and drove like City +2 = they would have sold a lot less Hemi's. I'm sure with the 3:92 gears it's an even bigger improvement.

I have mine and wanted to see what others had to say.
Also has any one know of a shift improvement tune or kit.
I just want a firm shift, don't need a neck snap shift. I just hate the slide into each gear.
Does the pedal commander improve the shift?

pedal commander only tweaks throttle sensitivity. no trans tuning at all

I just put an edge pulsar on my truck. nick from gotexhaust.com says it doesn’t touch the trans tuning, but the truck really responds well to the performance and tow tune in terms of shifting. feels much firmer.

performance tune with a tank of 93 and tow/haul & traction control will spin first and bark second. it’s nice

Anybody know if there is a shift improvement kit. Or can the trans be programmed to shift firmer.

What mode were you using on the PC when it threw the code? I've heard the Eco mode can throw codes but not sure about the other modes...

I always say if you are hesitant to purchase then you probably shouldn’t. No point and stressing yourself out about something.

^^ Yeah, what he said... lol

I've had a PC on my last three vehicles, never had a problem, not even when I took my Ram in for recalls.

Mine made me love my Ram all over again, but just because I’ve had great luck with them does not mean it is for everyone.

My Ram loves the PC for sure.
Mine too. After I got mine the grill grew wider like it was smiling.....

Sort of like me after eating a good meal & having a few beers, I start to smile and my exhaust gets louder...:D

I purchased the pedal commander for my 2014 ram based upon the reviews here. I loved it! I tried driving with it off but just couldn’t handle it. It’s a joy. Thanks for the recommendation!
