Default Programmer for '96 Ram 1500 5.9L

It's got 148k miles on it so not sure if it's even worth it to get one. The only one I could find (so far) is a Jet 90002. Will I notice a real difference in power? HP is not my concern just torque. The engine is running wonderfully but it doesn't seem as strong as it used to. That may be due to my '06 Hemi though.....

It's stock.

Thanks for any input.

I would rather have a stock tune if JET was my only option. IMO, JET causes more issues than they are worth. Here is some good news. IIRC, Hypertech makes a "chip or tuner" for us oddball trucks.

I had a thread not too long ago... Lemme find it...

A lot of your desicision making is going to lay with which OBD you have. If you Have OBDI, MOPAR PCM and JET is your option. If you have the hybrid OBDII, Hypertech and SC claim they can tune it. I have not tested this out, since I'm doing good to just keep gas in her at the moment.


Like said, SC claims they can tune our trucks, but the final outcome is unclear.
