Tuning for an 03 dodge ram
#11
nothing was aimed at you....i think you took it personal for some reason.
I have too many friends with diesels and i know a darn good bit about them and what upgrades work best. All the cummins guy's run Smarty's with the new programs. Many of them have tried many setups and they all go back to the Smarty. NOT SAYING the rest are junk, its just the Smarty is proven and lays down some serious power.

Well Mike I really wish you would have become a sponsor here a little sooner LOL. I wanted him to go with diablo( I loved my diablo when I had it) but instead he went with hyper crap and just wasted his money. You can't even change shift points or remove speed limiter on it.

Hey Mike, it's good to have you here. I have a few questions if you don't mind on tuning the '03 trucks. As I understand the 2003 models do not have rev limit adjustment or any transmission / speed limit adjustments. I believe tire size is also out of the question. Can you give me details on the differences between the '03 tuning capabilities and the same on newer models.
On my turbo '03 Hemi I would like to have full adjustment of the timing curves, MAP sensor, fuel injector size scaling, rear O2 sensor control. Most definitely RPM and speed limit increases.
Thanks for your time.

i have an 03 as well. and i wouldn't call it full custom tuning. with the diablo, i can't adjust rev or speed limiters, no trans control, or idle. at least with my superchip it got rid of the limiters. i was told when i bought my diablo back in jan that they were going to be coming out with an update to support the 03s. but from what ive read on diablo's sight and heard from alot of people that update has never been released. glad to have some support on here for dodges from diablo. as far as performance i havent noticed any performance difference from going to the diablo. in fact i think it ran a lil slower due to no being able to shift higher. im going back to the dyno in 2 weeks. another local shop recently bought the dodge software from diablo. i'll find out then if it's really worth it or not. please continue to come out with stuff for the dodge products as we know it's needed. but you must understand why I personally don;t like diablo right now. i have spent more money, and now have less options and the same if not less power than i did with the superchip. so can u say if diablo will release the update for the 03? or is it not worth ya'll time?

However I would be shocked to find out there are more Predator tuned truck on here than HPT, EFI, or custom tuned trucks. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure there's a minority when it comes to the trucks on this site.

Spark plug maybe mike@diablo can help you,i hope
I agree the superchips tuner felt stronger.
I dont understand how you can get a diablo custom tune but its no better than a hand held generic tuner.Thats not to custom if u ask me.
Spark plug had a 03 he wrecked with a superchips tuner that was 4 tenths faster than the 03 he has now on a diablo tune.All the same mods done to both trucks.
Mike can you help him he hates getting beat by chevys!

TCM support for the 03-04s is also being developed currently, but it has not been an easy process.
As for your requests, you'll have no problem having the MAP sensor scaled, the injectors scaled properly, full control of the timing tables, and the ability to disable the rear O2 sensor. RPM and speed limit increases will take a bit more time to get done.
Thanks
Mike
