Yes there are guys in the DIY alfaobd thread that have played with those settings.

You won't be able to take advantage of any of it. You'll need to be extra careful though. Last thing you want is a bricked BCM causing the truck to freak out

I’m fairly certain you can’t get the performance pages to work using the Alfa obd.

You used to be able to jail break the Performance Pages into the trucks,but apparently not anymore.I had a buddy who jail breaked them into his 2015 a few years ago,and i'm kicking my ass I didn't spring for it at the same time

Any idea what changed to prevent......Alpha or factory updates.....had to be software related?
Or did he jailbreak with something different?

This was what I had bookmarked years ago.


That's it Red.I'm still kicking my ass for not getting in on them when you could still get the Performance Pages through CustomTronix

At the time it was right around 200 Canuck to jail break them,and my cheap ass puckered up,now i'm kicking it around the block,lol
