Yeah I’m a little worried myself but it was already programmed when I got it so I’ve just not messed with it.

More horsepower and torque,lol. First thing you'll need is an unlocked PCM so you can tune your 16,then depending on your budget you can either do a slower and easier on the wallet bolt-on build which normally entails cold air intake/long tube headers with a decent catback exhaust ,a tune with either a custom e-mail or dyno tune,then after that the skies the limit depending on your budget,you can do a cam swap,blower install ,higher stall torque convertor,drop in forged pistons etc.Be forewarned none of this is cheap,so you might want to start pricing things out.Your best bang for buck mod is a small nitrous set-up,you can get away with up to a 75 shot of nitrous with the stock tune(meaning no unlocked pcm) if you install a set of 1 step colder spark plugs and keep the tank full of 93 octane fuel.The best thing about nitrous on a stock tune,is there is no footprint left if you ever do have a warrenty claim,just remove the bottle/lines etc., and all evidence of nitrous is gone.

I don’t
It's probably got a cam in it with the shift points set that high.Go on Nadodge or Tuned Rams on facebook,somebody might know the truck,or even the old owner,and they might be able to give you a few details on the truck.

Just for giggles after reading this, when I went to town, I rammed it to the floor from 0-60, tach hit about 5700 rpm... But the 19's are allegedly tuned differently...

I'm scared to say it doesn't have a cam in it lol. I bought the truck tuned this way and I do want to knock back a couple hundred rpms off the shift.

So mine is a 2014 but it's 2wd and lowered; single cab. It has 4.10's, clutch fan delete, 93 hp tuners tune, CAI, catch can and a 180 deg thermostat. I knew the guy who did all the work so I know what's done with it. I will say I would like to adjust that shift point back a couple of hundred rpms, at it is the stock cam.

Your tuner should be able to make that adjustment for you.
