I have a 2017 RAM with a 5.7, totally stock with approx. 70k miles. I have a travel trailer, 5795#'s dry weight. On the flat or typical terrain, it seems to be just fine. It's only when get to a pass that it seems to struggle just a bit. I had trouble about 1 1/2 years ago with it heating up. Replaced the fan and fan clutch. Much better but still seems to heat up a bit because I think it working a little too hard. Do you think a good idea would be to grab an AlphaOBD to get more power out of the engine. Someone told me it's possible to "wake" this engine up to gain more power with an Alpha. Is that true and is it a good idea? I don't want to put more strain on the engine or it components. If it is a good idea... What would I need to purchaseand what does it take to Re-program with one of these units? Thanks much...
