Thatīs good to hear, but will it also shift better??????

What do you think is better, the superchips or a Predator from Diablosport, i mean do you know someone who use a Predator?

I have the Predator and I like it. The tunes it has helps with some shifting issues and being able to turn off MDS made spending the money for it well worth it.

You can research info on both the Diablo and Superchips by checking out the "stickies" for each at the top of the 3rd gen ram threads.

Thanks Jerry, i will check it.

Iīm a little angry about Flowmaster, shouldnīt they know something about the context between MDS and their products??? Obviously iīm not the only one with this problems, iīm about to put it back to stock exhaust. It can not be that i have to buy a Programmer if i put a new exhaust under my RAM

You don't have to go back to stock to still have some sound. I started with an ar3030 and stock res. I didn't like the sound of the mds, tried it with no res to, hated it more. So then I went with a 22in. 5x11 magnaflow, no res. The sound is nice, plenty of noise at WOT. I do still hear the mds go on and off but its not bad at all. Also when you go from stock to a less restrictive exhaust don't forget to reset your pcm, mine felt sluggish until I did that.

You will notice a huge difference. I noticed better shifts, better throttle response and ofcourse much better sound. You will not be disappointed in either tuner, I am sure. I could not drive my truck without it now.

Thanks a lot for your help guyīs

I will get me a Diablosport Predator soon, but as long as i didnīt have it, i put my stock exhaust back under the truck, i only have 17k miles on it, itīs like brandnew and thank god, i didnīt sell it or dump it

The sound with the Flowmaster is awesome but that doesnīt matter if you have no power Sometimes the HEMI stays in MDS and you have to put the pedal to the metal to get the other 4 cylinders working, but than the RAM will run like hell
later today i will change it back, i will post it if the problem is solved

"Stay tuned"

Ok guys, i switched back to stock exhaust and what can i say?? The RAM runīs like hell, the Truck has much more power than with the Flowmaster.....Heīs very quite now, but now the RAM drives like it should be.

The Predator is just ordered and i will try different tunes even with the flowmaster then........letīs see if i can get a roaring RAM WITH power!!!
