2011 ram 1500 5.7 207k on the clock when I got it I got the Diablosport Intune i3 to disable MDS installed the 87 octane tune. Ever since I have not messed with it my truck is getting ****** gas mileage around town bout 12mpg and on parkway 14 ish. The engine Spark knocks/Pings under load when driving. I was wondering for anyone who has this tuner what appears to be the sweet spot/best tune to use my truck is not happy with this tune as it pings and yes spark plugs are fresh.
I have an i3 on my 11. I run the 91 canned tune, but go into each setting manually and tweak each on if needed. For example, my throttle sensitivity is plus 20, for better response, I've adj tire size, cut off mds, adjusted shift points, redline limit, and adjust fuel to deliver more down low and less high speed.
I get a solid 18 mpg and run the highest octane available at whatever gas station i stop at for fuel.
Truck doesn't ping or anything. I've never tried the 87 tune. I really don't think I can get the mpg higher than 18 in normal day to day driving. I have 4wd and 3.55s
How did the 545rfe like the extra power? Is there just a trans tune option?
None of my Hemi powered vehicles liked 87 octane fuel. Had the same mileage and performance issues you have.
Good choice. Hate that happened to you.
This is the 87 tune?Mine (2011)has been running 87 since new and runs great. Before I lifted it and put 35's on I would get 19-20 highway, now about 16.
No pinging or power loss
