Giving It 4-5 More Days If No Change Going Back To Stock

[Adams2013]

My Truck Has Just Lost So Much Power
After Adding These Mods it's Not Even Funny
Any More The Truck Is Just A Joke
It's Feels Like Going From A Big V/8
To A Small 4Cyl Car Im Going To Give it A Little Bit More
Then If No Change Going Back To Stock

Very surprising on the losses. I saw a gain with an 18" magnaflow. It sounds like there is a bigger issue to me honestly.

Inspect for a vacuum leak somewhere. It will take your truck 300+ miles to get used to its new running parameters.
Did you unplug the battery for 15 minutes to let it relearn your driving habits with the new parts?
A tuner would also help. Although I know in your state of disappointment the last thing youd wanna do is throw more money at it.

Seen your sig. Pretty sure diablos tune is already out for the 2013s with 6 speed.

I highly doubt your truck lost power because of the mods. It's the weather effecting your truck causing it to feel sluggish and possibly having the computer pull timing. What octane are you running?

+1 on disconnecting the battery. It makes a lot of a difference. After you reconnect it. Don't drive like a grandma as the computer will get used to driving like a grandma.

+1 on what Pano said. After you reset the computer, drive aggressive, as it will learn these parameters. I had the same issue with my 2004 after putting a Magnaflow Y and Flow 40 on....felt like it lost power....reset the computer, reinstalled the tune, and lost 1 second off the 1/4 mile....

I disconnected the battery for about an hour
And I'm always racing this truck
Always on the gas
Always going through gears
I'm avg. 9 miles per gallon
Take it from there how hard I'm driving this truck

try taking it back to stock to see if you notice any changes. then add one mod, test drive it, add another mod, test drive it, until you nail down what mod is causing your headaches.

+1 ^

I never understood why people run premium 91+ octane when the manual clearly states against it. Run 89 or 87 unless you have a tune. I doubt that's your problem though. Are you the same who lost 1/4 times with your mods? If so, doesn't Vararam guarantee their product? I thought their website mentioned something to that...

I'd disconnect battery for a good while, and drive it for a month before doing anything drastic. It will cost a lot to get your stock exhaust back.

 

[arod412]

My suggestion is to return some of ur mods back to stock and see what happens. Maybe do one at a time .Any chance that one of ur mods are defective?

It never states against running over 89, it says 89 recommended and 87 acceptable. Doesn't say do NOT ever run above 89



Adams2013- Is it possible you could have an exhaust leak or they used different sized piping? Just a thought since you had that all redone

Everything that Was Used Was From Moes
The Catch Can Hoses Were From Moes
Also The Intake As Well All From Moes
All The Hoses Fit Very Tight And Snug
So I Can Rule That Out.....

And On The Gas Topic!

Even Doe 89 Is Recommended
And 87 Is Acceptable
Ill Still Run 91 it's More $ I Agree But
Well Worth Having Better Gas

I Think The Guy ^ That Was Talking About The Gas
Is Going By The Book

 

[garner]

I meant the muffler, y pipe, and resonator delete. Did the muffler shop completely weld or slide everything together perfectly and did they use the correct size piping? Just trying to go through every mod you have and see where there could be an issue

And that's what I was telling him(kkreit 01), that you can run over 89 octane and it's not gonna hurt anything. Dodge never states you can't as he was saying

Yea muffler wise everything was good Untill 180 T-Stat

 

[cux211]

well there you go if there was no issue until the t-stat If it were me i'd try pulling the 180 and putting the stock t-stat back in and see what happens

 

[cux211]

Pretty sure diablos tune is already out for the 2013s with 6 speed.

nope diablo has nothing available for the 13 hemi's ram changed the ecm for 13 it supposed to be available in 2-3 weeks possibly

Maybe you filled up with some bad gas right around the time you put the thermostat in? A TS isn't exactly a computer, it either opens or it doesn't. LOL. So if your truck isn't running hot then it's probably working right. It'll run between 183 and 194 degrees or so, If it's doing that then it's probably ok. Maybe you damaged a wire or plug below the TS housing when you installed it? Is your catch can full already? Check that. Look for vacuum leaks like the other people said. Maybe a damaged plug or loose plug / wire from taking the hemi cover on and off the top of the engine. Seems like if it was like that there would be a code or some indication that it is not hooked up. Are the hoses to and from the catch can kinked? I had to cut mine to fit without kinking. A squirrel didn't climb inside the TB when you installed it did it? Check for leaks at bottom of TB. Check for unplugged wires, etc. Air intake sensor? Or do what they all said and do one mod at a time and see what happens. Good luck. Did the muffler shop clean up the pipe when they cut it off? They may have left a bunch of buggered up metal / **** in there?
