So there is nothing you did right before it started acting up?

How empty were you when you filled up with the 93 octane and reprogrammed?




I know the SCT tuner removes torque management so that the trans shifts harder instead of that sloppy soft shift that Dodge gives you. It basically gimps the engine just before shift so that the torque is backed way off during the trans shift. This gives you that nice grandma feeling shift.

Perhaps there really isn't something up to snuff in your trans and the removal of the Torque Management is causing a problem.

I was just under a quarter tank when I filled up. And Idk if it is the tuner cuz I put it back on stock and it's doing to same thing.

how is the engine running? If you are down on power... when's the last time you did a tuneup? Does the truck run ok when cold, and get worse as it warms up?

Lol, I feel like an idiot.. I looked under the hood just snooping around, and I saw a spark plug wire fell out of the harness and it was laying on the header. It looked burned through the rubber surround to the wire and it was grounding out to the header I guess.
