I'm really leaning towards buying a tuner for my 14 Ram 1500 5.7 with 6 speed. My main issue is the stock shift points are terrible. Specifically, say I'm at 50mph and it's in 6th. I step on the gas and try to get the trans to kick down so I can pass / accelerate at a brisk pace. All I get is a lot of motor wind up, a lazy shift to 5th (I think) then another second of motor windup and a harder stab on the gas finally gets me down to 3rd or 4th and it accelerates. Part of it is that the first pause/delay is the MDS turning off, then the lazy shifting. It literally feels like 2-3 seconds of major delay and just a bunch of engine noise just to down shift.
Will ANY tuner let me change my downshift points so I can actually quickly and safely accelerate?
Looking at the Diablo programmers, it's unclear. I see shift points but it seems to be relating to up shifts and holding a gear longer from as start.
any help would be appreciated.
