Just to get this part of the way, it's an 05 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 liter 4x4 and the programmer is a flashpaq 3842. I'm looking at the tuner because I need to save some had on the highway and I've got a 4.56 gears in the truck. Now my question is this. Can I use the factory tune setting (such as fuel economy mode) with new gears. I'm afraid that maybe the tuner will have 3.55 gears programmed for that factory tune. And I just don't want mess up my truck.

hmm good question

being a 2005 i think you can adjust your gear ratios...so im not exactly sure how that works with a economy tune, which would adjust to a highway gear

is this tuner one that can do all that? i think those flashpaqs were just engine reprogrammers, and had nothing to do with adjusting trans...but i could be wrong

Yeah it can do it. But I don't know if that 4.56 ratio will apply to the premade tune settings.
