Default OMG... Tuner possibly coming for 2011+ Dakota...

We'll see anyway. If this is real it will likely be summer of 2013.

As some of you know, Diablosport finally cracked the security for the PCM on 2011+ Chrysler PCM's. I got a chance to chat with them at the PRI show last week in Orlando. They said they are about to start on 4.7 coding for 2013 Ram and expect it will be a pretty much direct fit for the 2011 Ram and Dakota also when ready. If there are minor tweaks needed they have my info to leave my truck with them for a few days. Hopefully they will support us and not leave us in the wind.

Check back this summer.

Hopefully this will work. I would love to see an 08+ 4.7L get boosted or a custom cam grind/tune.

Diablo can tune the 4.7 Rams through 2010 but just didn't build the Dakota pcm p/n's in their database. Hopefully they'll get those added one day

Only good tuner I am aware of right now for 2008+ 4.7L V8 Dakotas is the Superchips. I have one, and I like it. Glad Diablo is possibly going to release one, but I don't know why they would, as the 2008+ Dakotas didn't sell near as well as the Rams.

Thats what I'm hoping for. I would love to get an 08+ 4.7L run a custom cam grind and mount a blower up to it just to see what kinds of numbers I could get. Only 18 months to go, lol.
