Adjusting your RAM 1500 throttle response with Hptuners

[ram1500rsm]

Couldn't be any easier in this truck, one table as opposed to 3 in the Challenger Scatpacks
The table is found in Engine/Tq Management/Driver demand/Pedal Characteristic/Power % Request mode 1

This is the stock table

And slighly modded to make it a little more sportier, factory throttle is fairly lazy in the this trucks, this way the pedal is a little more crispier from a dead start.

I made it more aggressive, but didn't like the neck snapping feeling with min pedal intervention at every stop light, this is pretty much the same pedal response the truck runs when when the transfer case is in 4lo, which seems to use the Power % Request mode 6 table, I’m running the truck with the table above, this one below was part of the test.

Is this different from pedal commander ?

It accomplishes the same thing but HP tuners is what people use to do custom tunes, so you can change pretty much everything.

pedal commander is a couple of buttons... this is nerd level 1000. no reason for this level of detail unless you race, IMO.

Or you’re doing custom tuning.

Do you have the 5 speed trans or the 8 speed one? I tried increasing my shift points to 6000rpm with the 65RFE trans, and it seemed it was eternity for the truck to shift, I’m sure having 35’s doesn’t help the cause even with 3.92’s, this damn 65RFE gearing sucks, 2nd gear will go to 90mph shifting at 6000rpm with 35’s hahaha, I wanted to play removing TM, but I’m afraid to do so as I don’t know anything about the 65RFE trans, and whether or not it can take it with heavy wheels and tires.

Also $250+. If you are already tuned this will completely eliminate the PC

Does HP Tuners do well on the RAM? A local tuner uses only HPT and was curious if he would be able to tune / unlock the PCM or if I would need that done beforehand.

Depends on the year. Some require a unlocked PCM.

HP tuners is pretty much the standard for tuning software.

I have the 6 speed. It has 4.10's but yeah 35's deff don't help. Mine is 2wd lowered with 22 SRT 10 replicas on it.

The PCM has to be unlocked if you have a 2015 Mopar anything pretty much, Rather than unlocking the stock one, you can buy a new one from the dealer or a used one from ebay, and send it to HPTtuners for unlocking, you can always use the factory one if you want, buying an extra PCM will allow you to just switch to the stock one with everything stock if needed, you can also switch tunes back to stock, but for 2015+, PCM's are unlocked from the factory, so it'll be weird if you have a factory PCM that can be written, assuming somebody is looking for that stuff, you know the deal.....

HPtuners is a pro tuning suite, and does well in anything that can be tuned with it.

The PCM for the RAM 2016 through 18 appears to be all the same (at least for the 5.7L model), 68243303AB but for the 2015 year model, there seems to be 3 different ones. When in doubt, your dealer can tell you what PCM you have, or you can simple unbolt your factory one and write down the part# in the back, then you can order the same part# you have stock, from any Mopar dealer, ebay, etc.

Have fun.

Thanks for the information. It appears it might be cheaper to just get a Diaosport pcm that’s unlocked. $250 plush shipping both ways and buying one on eBay.
My local shop that tunes is unsure they can fit the truck on the lift so Diablo may be the only option for me with an emailed tune.

Yes Diablo is a tad more cheaper, however only CMR will be able to write the Diablo unlocked PCM, (CMR is the pro tuning suite from Diablo), or the Diablo canned tune handhelds.
Hptuners PCM unlocking service doesn't care who's tuning the PCM or what the tuner is using to read/write the pcm, so when it's unlocked by HPT, it really means "unlocked"

Hmm. Interesting information. I’ll have to really consider that before I make the final choice.

I know of (2) 2015 trucks running the Diablo unlocked PCM's,and tuned via HP tuning. As far as I know an unlocked PCM is an unlocked PCM,and should be tuneable by either Diablo's CMR platform or HP's tuning platform.

Earlier versions of the Diablo unlocking procedure did allow for that. I went through this BS with Diablo and my 15 Challenger Scatpack almost a year ago, ended up scoring a used PCM for $200 from ebay, and another $250 for the HPT unlocking.
You want to eliminate the guess? please Contact Diablo tomorrow and tell them, you want to tune with Hptuners, can i use your ulocked PCM ? that will clear all guesses.

Have fun.

So, I wouldn't need to make any changes to other request modes? There are seven more listed. Sorry for newb questions, I am just scratching the surface with HP tuners. Recently bought MPVI2. Now I have Pedal Commander and HP tuner. Just trying to get the tuner do the job of both and remove the PC (which is awesome device, btw).
Oh, and apologize for resurrecting 3 year old thread...
