I've done a handful of them. These aren't rocket ships due to the weight but the tuning is better than stock at least lol

That isn't saying much... It's funny because right after I posted this another member posted in the 6.4 thread talking about your tune. What kind of gains does the custom tuning make over the canned tunes?

I'm just saying that the gains aren't felt at the seat of the pants like the 6.4 in a car. I've not dyno'd my tunes over the preloaded in this model yet. The tunes are better by default, but I don't have numbers at this point.

Any updates on this yet. I'm looking at pulling the trigger on this. But want to know if it will really be worth it. I've done intake and exhaust already. I want to know what kind of gain I can get, like hp, gas mileage, overall performance.

What intake have you done? I didn't know there was anything available for the 6.4.

I've gotten tunes on quite a few of these models. I haven't found anybody that was dissatisfied with how it responded

If only diablosport would get around to letting me adjust my tire pressures I would have ordered months ago.

Just curious, what kind of gain(s) do you feel you've gotten with the tune? Are these drivability gains, ie, being able to get higher throttle gains without the constant transmission kickdown or just WoT gains? I'm looking for the drivability gains only as towing heavy a good deal of the time. Have regeared from 3.73 to 4.56 but am still stock on exhaust and intake. I really don't appear to be lacking on stock due to the fact that I don't need or want the wot or high rpm for my usage. Considerably better after gearing but being able to get a slightly higher throttle before a downshift would be an improvement for me. Thanks.

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on the 6.4 tuning. You will have better driveability w/o a doubt. The part throttle driving will be a good bit better.

Have there been changes between the 2014 and 15 6.4's and or the computer programs for engine and trans?

the "encryption key" is different which is the opening access to the pcm itself.

So, in other words, the 14 can't be programed to reflect the changes in programming they do to 15 year? Think, considering that 14 was the first year putting the redesigned 6.4 into a truck and also matching it to a different trans, that we, who purchased "first year run" vehicles should be able to take advantage of the changes that they know work. I'm sure that all the sensors, engine and trans are exactly the same. Just changed computer program for better all around performance. Just My thoughts

If any tuning updates come out from Mopar, the dealership can flash the computer. What he is saying is for the aftermarket tuners to be able to program the computers they need to figure out the new encryption code that Mopar likes to change every year. I was in the same boat a few years back when I bought my 2012 ram 1500. No tuning was available. Short time later they bullydog and diablo figured it out and released a tuner.

I sent a pm. Looking for tuning info. I see no post since 2015 so maybe this is dead?
if someone knows how to get a hold of them please let me know.
Thanks
