Has anyone installed a tuner in their 2015-2016 Ram 1500 5.7 ? Diablo and Bully Dog both say I need to buy a new PCM for their tuner to work. Are there any other options, good or bad, without ruining warranty ?

You are going to need the unlocked PCM regardless of which tuner you run. I am using the Diablo i2 with Hemifever custom tuning on my 2015.

If you buy a new PCM, flash it, and swap back to the factory one every time you go to the dealer (and they flash a new update), how would get the update to your unlocked tuned PCM? Or will it be better to have the factory one unlocked and flash back to stock on dealer visits to receive updates?

What's the difference between the i2 and the Trinity? Since you could use whichever you want, what made you choose the i2?

So, you want to add power to your Ram, and if for some reason the motor has a problem because of the power tuner, you still want Dodge to cover you?

Trinity = Real time monitoring gauge package.

I2 = No real time monitoring gauge package.

Trinity + $130 - $150 retail over I2 price.

Perfect explanation, thanks. The i2 is what I need since I'm a set it and forget it kind of guy.

Yeah why not? Because most of time a custom tune just refines the factory tune and makes it better.
