2012 Superchips Update

[Five.SevenlExpress]

called them awhile ago regarding a 2007 Ram 1500 superchips error code.
well i asked them about the 2012 model rams.... and he stated they had one in the shop "trying" to tune it....

so the wait continues

 

[Graygoose]

wow...they pulled the year old 2011 out and started working on a 2012?
Been a year...I'm surely not holding my breath for anytime soon.

Well, the 2011s and the 2012s have the same PCM encryption...so if they can crack a 2012 then they've cracked the 2011 too. But, if they actually have a truck in the shop and are "trying" to tune it, I'd say that's major progress. Sounds like they may have even cracked some of the code...lol...hell I don't know. Still hoping.

Lol...I guess they figured that after a year, they had better change their response even though it means the same thing.

 

[quietpeen]

i won't believe it till i see it available...LOL

I'm sure this isn't just limited to the Rams...but everything that has the Hemi. ie the 300c etc etc.

Actually, I was reading on the Diablo/Superchips forums and I think they encrypted pretty much every damn PCM across various 2011+ models of varying engines too. Definitely not limited to Rams. So there is definitely the incentive for those companies to get it figured out.

 

[Graygoose]

Yea, that was my lame attempt at a joke, i knew 11's and 12's were same, wonder why they just pulled a 2012 into bay...

 

[fat1]

They wont be cracking it ever. They have never really had to deal with encryption. Chrysler will provide the answer when they want, probably for a fee and the tuners will cost $1500 to cover the fees.

 

[Trupiano]

^I 100% agree, just hope they don't cost that much lol.

It all comes down to licensing, warranty and responsibility. I don't want to start a war but there are some people that do some irresponsible things with tuners and chrysler foots the bill to fix it. This is their way of covering those repairs and lining their pockets at the same time. More the latter. A few bad apples spoil the bunch is what it comes down to. I would buy a tuner today if it was available so please don't take this as me being an anti-tuner guy or whatever. The reality is we shouldn't need a tuner, we should receive a device or a CD with the trucks to let us set some options we want. I mean I'm a 34 year old man and I can't drive without the traction control all the way off in 2wd? Because of the warranty...
