Ive got the 06 Hemi 4x4 qc about 4-5,000 miles and i have no power, im really really hating my truck right now, i dont know if i should take it in to the dealer or what. it wont even breake the tires loose on dry pavement. is anyone else out there with an 06 noticeing a drop in power around the mileage i have, also does your trucks break the tires loose on a brake torque??????? ive got a buddy with an 05 that blows me out of the water.....Madman"

 

no i don't hate mine, I have an 05 QC that I got new in November. Got about 8k on there now. I do notice that the pep sometimes doesnt seem to be consistent. If i give it some pressure may take a second to kick in.

 

Do you have AWD? I do on my '05, and it won't break the tires loose when I punch it, but it launches hard

 

The throttle response in the 2006 dodge ram hemi was toned down on purpose, so when people get stuck and switch into 4WD LO, they don't blow up their differential and transfer case from gunning it and giving too much power...

Yes, the new 2006's are slower to accelerate and feel less powerful...

The 2005 was by far the fastest production HEMI...

I don't think there's anything you can do about it, except wait for somebody like Superchips to come out with a reprogrammer for your 2006...

 

I've gotta 06' 1500 QC Hemi 4x4 w/2800 miles on it. When I bought the truck, it felt powerful, but now I've gotten used to it, so the power isn't as noticable anymore, I don't think I'm loosing power. But sometimes I wish I should've gotten the 2500 Cummins Mega Cab!

Most likely, the computer has started to adapt to your driving style also. Combine that with the torque management trans and you end up with less torque feel on the butt-o-meter. You can reset the pcm by either pulling the fuse to it, or disconnecting the battery for a short time. The car companies have really made their vehicles virtually unmodifiable by means of all the computers, and making sure its hard to afford to make the changes we would like to be able to do, based on our own particular driving styles.

 

thats so friggen retarded..... we need petition this lol

 

How was 05' any faster than 04', or 03', Rob?

 

Sorry to hear about that, my buddy has an 06 with similar issues.
