Dealers Dealers have become the worst place to get credible information on the very vehicles they sell. You’ll learn way more on an enthusiast forum than anyone at a dealer will tell you. Just gotta wade through the useless posts some times

Damn. We made it like 3 days without an oil thread. That has to be a record. 5W30 in my rig btw

Oh my lol

P0340 has literally nothing to do with fuel quality. I’d love to know your service reps reasoning for thinking bad gas causes that code. But of course, he’s willing to sell you some BG product. As a former service manager and tech myself that still twists wrenches a lot, that pisses me off so...

A massive staffing shortage country wide and liberal judges everywhere doesn’t help any of that 😅 Off topic, but 15 years ago 200 people applied for one opening at my first agency. Today they are lucky to get 5 applicants for 5 openings.

Your UConnect in 2018 and your 2021 are already spying on you, collecting your data. As is every bluetooth device and wifi network you pass, even if your not connected to it. Modern tech is constantly pinging off other devices. I'm in LE and the amount of personal data that can be pulled from...

It’s not exactly like Hondas though. These Jeeps actually remove solenoid voltage in order to activate the high lift side. Removing the solenoid voltage actually stops oil flow which then lowers the pin creating the activation. I think Honda with their VTEC and cam bridge design is far superior...

If you guys look into the Variable Valve Lift system on these PUG 3.6 engines (2018 and newer) and look at its design and use, you’ll see why these could be having so many cam and lifter failures. At least, this is my take on it. Mind you I’ve probably done more research and study on this than...

I've had probably 100+ of these intakes off over the years from my tech days plus I still work on these a lot on the side and at least half of them I didn't replace the lowers and I don't think I replaced uppers on any of them. But they are cheap enough where on my personal vehicle I would just...

Yes. Rams buttons on the steering wheel are a lockout mechanism and not a manual shift mode. Moving the lever over on these Jeeps makes it manual mode and isn’t for lockout reasons

Yep the aggression counter will work its way up from 0 like a clock when driving aggressive. The higher the counter goes, the more aggressive shift mapping becomes, and it won’t go back to normal for several seconds or more until that aggression counter works its way back to 0

No way to do that on these since there are no dedicated gear lockout switches like on the steering wheel of the Ram. EcoDiesel trans tuning probably has less aggressive downshifts for turbo loading reasons. But I can see where that would need improvement.

I get it now so your looking for a dedicated sport mode that shifts more aggressively on its own by using manual mode since there is no sport button or dedicated way? Technically within the tuning you can do that, but you would lose your manual shifting ability if you set it up like that

Just did some testing and found that at least on my 2025 V6 that the trans is actually using the “performance” shifting tables in manual mode, so faster and cleaner shifting. YMMV if your a ED.

Sounds good. I’m not 100 percent sure the Ecodiesels can be used with HP Tuners if that’s what you’re running. Just a heads up.

Yes there is! Mopar actually has "sport" shift feel already programmed into the TCM, it just doesn't use it. It takes a few revisions and datalogs to get manual mode to feel "crispy" like that but it is definitely an option. When I tune these, I actually set the shift pressures/timers/etc. to...

Wanted to make a thread to spread some knowledge on our 8 speed. Specifically how the TCM operates and to clairfy the ever so often talked about "learning". For years and years on various forums, people have made reference to the 8 speed saying it "learns" your habits, and if your having...

Posted up a couple new videos on Youtube, one is just an update on everything and a shout out to everyone who I've worked with so far, and the other is talking about my new Excel tool I posted up on here for dialing in shifting in automatic models.

Yep it’s all there. 850RE is what I see the most so that’s the default ratios but you can modify them to whatever you want

To any fellow tuning nerds out there, or anyone who has HP Tuners and wants to learn DIY and wants to have a better understanding of shift scheduling in their 8 speed, I have spent the last few weeks creating a tool in Microsoft Excel that I wanted to share with the forum. The way these...
