Something new I learned about the Trinity t-1000

[xrsman]

So I'm heading out on a 3 hour trip today. I took my tuner off last week because I had the truck in at the dealer. I forgot to install it until I had already left but I had the tuner in a backpack in the truck. So I pull over and start the whole process only to find out that when I put the original backup back on the truck it deleted my custom tunes!! I'm pretty pissed about it but unfortunately there's nothing I can do. Now I wait for the slow tuner to read the truck, write the back up, and install a lame canned tune.

Just thought I'd warn you guys in case others didn't know this! Sure wish I did before now!

Mine did the exact same thing when I carried mine to the dealer a couple months back. Yeah it definitely sucks.

 

[xrsman]

Yeah i just wish I'd known! I also wish I had remembered to tune thr truck earlier this week because it took exactly 34 mins to get it completely installed!

So if you return to stock settings you lose the custom tunes/hemi fever?

Yes sir! I'll have to put the tune back on the tuner from my computer when I get home!

That seems like a pain in the ****, I just ordered my tuner yesterday. Thanks for the heads up.

Good lord 34 min to load from stock, i don't think mine has ever taken more than 10.

I wonder why mine takes so long...thats twice now that it's been 30 mins or more!

It's never been an issue for me,
but I keep my tunes on the "optional" SD Card.

I have several modified tunes and needed more space than the standard Trinity memory could hold.

Oh cool, I didn't know that could be done!

They recommend no more than a 2MB card,
in this case, bigger is not better.

Haha thanks man! I appreciate the tip!

Dammit, Maybe its a 2GB card, not 2MB...it's been 4 years and I can't recall now,

BRB ....

Lol I was wondering where I'd be able to find a card that small! 2 GB sounds more likely! Haha

2GB, confirmed

and it MUST be formatted before you use it





Everyone should keep multiple copies of their tunes and original back up file
in several locations, Tuner SD card, Computer and a thumb/flash drive.

Awesome thanks! I'll have to get a 2 GB card now!

I wondered the same thing! Went from a 06 300 SRT8 where the tunes loaded in 10min to a 2014 Ram that took 45min!

I asked Diablo about it at a trade show and they said something along the lines of they had to remove the chrysler 'bootloader' (or something) and install theirs on all 13&up chrysler products. It was the only way they could work around the barriers that the FIAT overlords are putting into all Chrysler vehicles.

So 30+ min load times on 13&up are apparently normal (when tuning from stock or returning to stock) just switching the tunes is less time consuming.

This is exactly why I dread taking my truck to the dealer for anything. I have to set aside at least an hour just to remove and reinstall the tune.

I leave my tuner in my truck at the dealership. Never seen a note about me having a tuner before. Not too concerned about it.
