impossible dont they say that with every new vehicle.........its impossible for about 2 months or so lol.
Well the 2015 SRT PCM's are impossible and I think the RAM is in a similar boat. You either exchange for an older PCM or have your current one physically modified to be unlocked. It's not just cracking the code on these FCA vehicles anymore. I've been trying to find a reasonably priced solution to tuning my mom's SRT Jeep since she bought it 3/15
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaymn
i think that gets said about every new engine ever
treeeed.
Yes, the 2016 trucks tow more than the older 1500HD. I am just saying that the 1500HD wasn't just a 1500 with a 6.0. It had features that the normal 1500 didn't have. I think having a slightly different look would set it apart some. I know people love the look of the F250 way more than the F150. If Ford can incorporate some of those design elements of the F250 I think it would help sales. That way the F150 diesel guys will fell more like they are "real diesel" owners and not just F150 owners with a different motor.
I don't think there are as many buyers looking for gas-sipping diesel trucks as there are more people want a diesel but don't want the beastly, rough riding F250.
With the government wanting higher and higher milage and lower emissions, I would think it is for CAFE. I think if the diesel is a good motor there really wouldn't be a need for the V8. Ecoboost 2.7 & 3.5 and diesel would cover anyone looking for a F150. Be it fuel mileage or capable power for towing.
Dodge has been making it hard to break their ECUs for years. Seems Ford or GM get cracked in a few months of being out. Not the case with Dodge. They must be putting a lot of effort to keep tuners out.
Srt which ones? people said the hellcat one was impossible but its being tuned.
impossible and expensive do not mean the same thing here.
You are correct. Another friend of mine has a 2015 Ram 3500 Cummins, he had to send his ECU out to be cracked for him to be able to tune the truck. I believe he's now running the truck on EFI Live through a cracked 2015 ECU.
Correct, it sounds like it's about $600 for it to be cracked including the ride both ways for the ECU. Depending on your tuning wants/needs/custom vs. canned, plus exhaust you're in a full delete about $2,000. I'll be running SCT w/custom tunes and a CTS2 monitor keeping everything in check.
That's insane, both that it has to be done that way and that someone is willing to do it to such an expensive truckYou are correct.

a bit shocked it was that high but yeah i dont pay much attention to trucks or dodge.

Money money haha. That truck is gorgeous inside, it's a longhorn limited.
He was planning on leaving it stock, but had two EGR failures in 15,000 miles and the dealer wasn't a big help so he decided to just fix the emissions problem and get rid of it lol.
