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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
Hi guys.
I have a UK imported 2014 1500 with an 8.4 unit that i would like to update. The truck was imported from new.
My unit has the following part number, and doesn't match any shown in this thread;
68224536AE
It is running an old firmware, 14.25.5, and i would like to update.
The uconnect...
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.
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.
Hi guys. I have attempted to use the i3 today and not got very far. I have updated the unit via computer to ensure that it is fully up to date. Once connected to truck, as soon as I go into the tune vehicle option I am presented with the following message;
'Not all ecus in the vehicle are...
Thanks Tim! I’ll most likely try uploading a canned tune this weekend. Any tips? I read something about make that A/C and radio etc was switched off to ensure power supply to i3 was uninterrupted and not drain battery. Is it a lengthy process?
Thanks.
Hi Tim, bumping this as I am interested to see how you got on. I am about to use an i3 on my 14 sport and getting concerned about other users bricking their PCM. I am based in the UK, so i'd like to be sure that this isn't going to happen..
Did you manage to load a custom TCM tune?
Thanks.
I have done some cost calculations today, and HP tuners was going to be more expensive for me, i have additional fees that you guys wont suffer as based in the UK.
HP tuners was going to be $400 for hardware and 2 credits, then an additional $450 for Jay's tune as he charges an additional $100...
Not an easy decision this! Like the simplicity of the Diablo, but I'd probably get more from the HP tuners with regard to TCM. Ideally i'd like one system to cover both PCM & TCM reliably.
Sounds like HP is going to be far more expensive than Diablo though, so this may be what influences the...
I had read about Jay Greene's HP tunes in some other tuning threads, that is what made me consider that option initially. I have no idea how to tune, so I would't even consider that option, I would only be comfortable uploading/downloading files to send to the tuner/PCM.
Wild one, would you...
I didn’t realise that both tuners could offer both PCM and TCM tunes,thanks for clarification.
You’ve been very helpful, I better get the i3 on order :)
Thanks guys.
Glad to hear that the new firmware has eliminated those bugs!
Sorry if this is a silly question, you mentioned greene racing for the trans tune. Should I use hemifever for the engine tune and use greene for trans, or use greene for both tunes?
Thanks again.
Thanks for the replies.
I have looked into the diablosport programmers, seems to be a pretty simple process that i should be able to manage.
My issue was the fact that going this route may not give me the option to tune the transmission.
Is there much benefit to tuning the 8 speed trans? That...
Hi guys.
Looking for a bit of advice regrading a tuner for my 2014 5.7l 8 speed 4x4 CC.
I have a set of ARH headers with hi flow cats with a Magnaflow 15363 catback being fitted shortly, and most likely an s&b intake.
I am a little concerned that my truck may run lean after these changes, so...
