So how would I do it ? Would I have to get a custom tune from hemifever ? I can't just use the tuner ? Can anyone send me the link for a performance PCM ?

Put your truck info in your sig, so it's easy to find for the rest of us.

if your truck is a 96, hemifever can set ya right up with a tuner.

Um well incase you didnt notice this thread I just started

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...d-seafoam.html

Me testing my 96 DODGE RAM 1500 with a SCT Tuner from Hemifever. BTW only tested my 87 tune and JEEBUS! HEMI YOU ARE THE MAN!

Dont need a performance PCM, just talk to Hemifever tell him whatca got and whatca want. Here I will make it even easier

The best thing I did while researching tuners was to take the advice of users here, and call Sean at Hemifever. I am still not an expert, but by talking to Sean and telling him waht you want to achieve, he can provide what is needed.
