I bet Flyin Ryan would get you hooked up super quick. Tune and cam both.That is correct. Nothing against him at all as he's always done good by me and very responsive. I've been without a tune for a month now and i'm itching to get some power back in my truck. Especially when I have my ARH LTs coming in Saturday.
Cause I know he's busy, getting over the Covid BS and has a hand that is pretty hurt. I still plan to run his 2.5 HL cam kit even. I'm just getting impatient and wanna show out with my now FBO truck that's looking like a beast!
Yeah it's a laundry list and I have so much more I could put in there but I ran out of characters lol.Weeerrrddsss….didn't read down far enough!
I'm pretty sure he isn't a big fan of me. We had a bit of a disagreement about something and went our separate ways. Not saying he isn't damn good at what he does or the parts he's cranking out, just not sure he'd take me on lol. Totally my own fault though.I bet Flyin Ryan would get you hooked up super quick.

You could try Mark Rojee,another one to look up is Dusterhoff Tuning or Rick Tapp.Jon Sipple and Jeremy Satera are supposedly a couple of the better 8 speed tuners ,but they don't come cheap. Scott Boegler is another decent tuner.Check out this page,you'll find a few of the better tuners hanging around it.Yeah it's a laundry list and I have so much more I could put in there but I ran out of characters lol.

I'm actually talking to Sipple at the moment. I've been pestering them about building an 8HP70 for me and my stroker build I'll eventually have. I hear nothing but good things about that shop and they are pretty close to me.You could try Mark Rojee,another one to look up is Dusterhoff Tuning or Rick Tapp.Jon Sipple and Jeremy Satera are supposedly a couple of the better 8 speed tuners ,but they don't come cheap.

My TCM has failed (lost communication), so I'm going to buy a used trans and swap out the TCM. Since my truck has lower miles than the trans I'm going to buy, I'm want to keep my stock valve body. Do I need to do anything other than the VIN write in alphaobd?I can tell ya, you 100% can swap a TCM from one trans to another with nothing more than a VIN write with Alfa and you're golden. Did it to mine after finding out the TCM had been previously tuned with a DiabloSport, which wasn't gonna work with HP Tuners. I have had ZERO issues and the transmission operates flawlessly.
Nope. I legit just swapped em, set the VIN and was off to the races. Two months later and it still works like it was never swapped in the first place.My TCM has failed (lost communication), so I'm going to buy a used trans and swap out the TCM.

How did you set the vin?Nope. I legit just swapped em, set the VIN and was off to the races. Two months later and it still works like it was never swapped in the first place.
Oh wow!. I didn't know alfa could do that. I'd 100% rather do that then pull the valve body down on this 3000 mile unitWith AlfaOBD and then connecting to the gearbox and setting the VIN through there.
Which obd reader do you use?With AlfaOBD and then connecting to the gearbox and setting the VIN through
I use the OBDLink MX+. I hear people going cheaper and they are always having issues with connecting or having changes save. I never hear of people having issues with the MX+Which obd reader do you use?
Wait... ya lost me. I still need to swap in my original tcm and program it? I've had mine out twice now doing the zip kit, not bad at all but There's always that sense of nervousness when dealing with valve body bolts.You'll still need to pull the valve body out to get the TCM fully removed from the trans, but it's really not that difficult. It took me longer to refill the trans than it did pulling down the valve body and getting the TCM
I might be backwards on how this is going. If the TCM is being transplanted into the trans already in the truck, you 100% need to program the VIN. If the TCM already programed to your truck is just going in the body of another transmission? Then you 100% don't need to reprogram it. Should be plug and play.Wait... ya lost me.

That's impression I was under. Original tcm doesn't know if the mechanical parts have been changed just as long as it knows the ecm. If I leave the tcm in my new unit and programming it is as easy as using the alfa app I'll just do that.I might be backwards on how this is going.

Exactly. It's a time saver to drink a few cold ones in triumph!Wait... ya lost me. I still need to swap in my original tcm and program it? I've had mine out twice now doing the zip kit, not bad at all but There's always that sense of nervousness when dealing with valve body bolts

I've been having lunch with mine. Frosty adult beverages will be for when I get it in. Definitely gonna buy the app and cross my fingersExactly. It's a time saver to drink a few cold ones in triumph!
You can't go wrong with AlfaOBD and the OBDLink MX+ combo. Hands down the most versatile tool to keep in your tool kit for these Rams. Really any FCA/Mopar/Chrysler/Stallantis vehicle. I'll have a few cold ones in your honor and wish you the easiest of installs. Look forward to seeing how it goes so keep us posted!I've been having lunch with mine.
