    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Great, thanks for checking for me. I actually have a bottle of lubegard biotech that I was going to try before buying redline, so I can add that the this new oil during the change. Does the 5W30 sound ideal? Thanks.

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    I guess that would be good news! Unfortunately I don't have the material to send for testing which is a great shame, so I will have to dump the new oil very early and assess again. Burla, you suggested PUP for the next oil, unfortunately not easy to get here in the UK so ends up very costly. I...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Here is an image of what i was left with in the oil catch container. Guessing it is whatever was sitting in the sump. The particles were silver in colour when viewed on the end of finger. A colleague suggested that it could possibly be the work hardening of the cam or lifters, perhaps the iron...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Thanks for your replies guys. Interesting that copper content can increase with Redline initially. The oil removed covered just under 5k miles, usually I have a garage change the oil during its annual test (MOT in UK) so I wouldn't be aware of any particulate found previously. The container was...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Hello from the UK, have been reading this forum for years but rarely post. I did an oil change on my 2014 1500 5.7 a couple of weeks back and found metal fragments in the container I used to drain the oil, so I have had a UOA carried out, please see figures below; This oil is Redline 5W30 and...

    Tuner

    Hey bud, FYI. Not all 13-14 Rams will accept a trans tune via Diablosport, my 14 certainly didn't, so I went with HP Tuners. So, if a trans tune is something you will be wanting i'd have a look at that option.

    INFO - 2013-2018 8.4A /AN FW Notes (RA3/VP3-NA & RA4/VP4-NA & UAx)

    Hi guys, I have tried another USB stick and still receiving the 'device unplayable' message. The only files present are swdl.iso & swdl.upd. Should i only be using the .iso file? Thanks.

    Thanks. There appears to be a version of 17 that should be compatible. My truck didn’t like my usb stick so I’ll try again with a new one over the next couple of days.

    Thanks Mpgrimm2 You mentioned another website in your post that hosts firmware, are you able to confirm what this website is? Sorry if I have got confused by your post. Thanks.

    2014 8 speed Diablo trans Tuning poll

    I haven't tried to transfer any data yet as i bailed out. but, it was happy to let me proceed through the error message i think. I was able to read error codes and it found none. Perhaps i should try and write a PCM tune tomorrow. Thanks guys.

    2014 8 speed Diablo trans Tuning poll

    I’d be surprised if it is married to another vehicle as it was a sealed box, but not certain! Is there a way to reset just in case? Thanks.

    2014 8 speed Diablo trans Tuning poll

    I haven't tried anything yet, i pulled the plug when i got the message. Sounds like the transmission is most likely not supported and that is why i am presented with this message. I will more than likely try again tomorrow and proceed beyond this stage to upload a PCM tune. Thanks guys.
