it is also that time of year when gas stations have winter blend, so you will get worse mileage than in the summer.

 

True, but thankfully for me we have ONE privately owned gas station that sells 100% fuel here

 

Anything to watch out for when buying a used tuner(U7137)? I know the previous owner needs to load the stock tune first to "unlock" the tuner.

just picked up a used trinity (used on a ford but is cleared). I updated it with my computer. Is there anything else i should do before i plug it in to the truck? like load files for the hemi or does it have everything already on it?

 

That all. A USB cable is nice but they are less than $5 so its not a deal breaker if the seller doesnt have one

When you go through the marrying process you will have to choose U7137 which is for the Dodge and do it will have the dodge gauge layouts and default canned tunes

 

make sure when selecting the vehicle, you need to pick 2006 even though you have an 05. If you select 05, it only has the 2500 with CTD, not 1500 with the hemi.

 

got everything running smoothly. Any tips to get the most out of it?

 

Fill up with 93 octane, load 93 octane tune. Tweak the trans shift points, I started with Truckin151's shift points that are in this thread somewhere and tweaked them a little to suit my driving a little better. Then set up your virt gauges how you want them

 

If you want to get the MOST out of it, get a tune for it and not one of the canned tunes.

Otherwise, adjust the trans schedule (I posted up mine a few times in this thread... Load it and tweak it from there), increase the throttle sensitivity, load with 91 or 93 if you have it available, and call it good. DO NOT touch the WOT fuel or spark adjustments unless you can log before hand and know what you are looking for.

 

can i monitor boost and wastegate and other turbo variables with my diablo trinity, im really leaning towards a sts turbo kit for my truck
