Bought an 08 ram 1500 slt two months ago.
Ever since I bought it I've had this chugging noise at low speeds or going around corners ONLY around 14-1600 RPM

Since I bought the truck I've done the follow.

Plugs
Tranny pan kit
Pcv valve
Egr valve
Crank and camshaft sensor
Map sensor
Cleaned throttle body


The chug doesn't happen below or above those rpms.
Please help the dealer wants 220+ just to figure it out .

It might just be the MDS kicking in, it can make a kind of drone sound out of the exhaust.You could try disabling the MDS by putting it in Tow/Haul mode and see if the noise goes away.

Now what can I do to make it go away without this tow haul lol.

Get a tuner and have the mds shut off.

Around $350-400 depending what brand and it'll give ya a good power boost and a couple more mpg's. I recommend diablosport.

Contact Matt at Moe's Performance. He'll have just what you need for a programmer.

Custom tuning is also available and I highly recommend you discuss that with him as well.

Ok maybe I'll go with that ..can u recommend which one

The Diablo intune will work great and can do custom tuning, the trinity model isn't necessary unless you wanna monitor things as you drive. As maddog stated Matt at moes will get ya hooked up with what ya need.
