So I currently has a 2013 big horn and I am looking at a 2015 sport
I want the painted front and rear end, the interior and the 8-speed transmission.
I have a few things like my bed cover and muffler that will transfer over but I was reading on diablo tuning website and the trinity doesn't work unless you replace the pcm. Also I remember JJ having trouble with HID coversions not working right in the 2015
Is this stuff true? Has the HID issue with 2015 been fixed?
Any help answering these questions would be appreciated

I think retroshop (JJ) has fixed the issues with HIDs in the 2015s. I know nothing about tuning, so hopefully somebody else can help with that question.

True on the tuning. It is still a work in progress but for now you need a second PCM.

Not sure on the headlight issue but if anyone is gonna figure it out it will be JJ.

I am still going to pull my HID setup I got from him and hopefully he has it figured out.
I guess I'll just sell my trinity I don't think it helped that much anyway
Maybe by tomorrow as long as they give me the deal I want I will have it.
Thanks

Yep you need a new PCM. That being said since you already have a trinity it won't cost much to get that new PCM. You should run on 91 octane and you'll notice a big difference! I do when I turn the truck to stock when it's dealer time lol.

As for the HID'S. Yes JJ has figured them out. You need to buy a different kit from him, or another part. It all comes in a 2015 package together bit costs more than regular HID'S. I believe it was just over $200 when I saw it on his site.
