I agree with this completely. Unless he took shortcuts, or damaged things during the repair, I see no reason why a competant mechanic would fear a car he fixed, even in the least. It's not like something faulty in the short block indicates there will be problems elsewhere.

 

Revert to the OEM program. If it still does it take it in, I doubt they'll look closely enough to detect the ECU was flashed.

 

I have 1 complaint about my 09 and most will wonder why.

I hate that I can not turn the dash lights completely off.

Don't bother telling me it's a safety issue because I consider it a safety issue by not being able to turn the lights all the way off and here is why.
I am a bow hunter and because I am a bow hunter I drive dark gravel roads well before sun up and after sun set.
I know from driving previous trucks that it's a lot easier to spot a deer about to jump into the road in front of me with all the dash (& other interior lights) turned off.


I enjoy being in the woods hunting deer with my bow but you can have that deer vehicle collision stuff.

Don't get me wrong. I agree that you shouldn't have to suffer because of a faulty engine. But that's the chance we all take when we buy new vehicles. It sucks!

 

Stand by for incoming. I brought that up a while back and got bitch slapped.

 

It is most likely the tune that is causing the jerk and pause. As mentioned, try reverting back to the stock flash. If that doesn't fix it, leave it in the stock tune and take it in to the dealer. It's most likely the tune you're on though.

 

the 2 things i dont like about my 09 hemi are the 2 things people probably love. I HATE THE ESP AND THE MDS.. I was able to disable the mds system via a diablo predator but the esp is even more annoying. Diablo needs to figure it out so it can be GONE already....Traction control is not needed whatsoever. I live in NH and can drive through snow and icy conditions better without it. i feel like i have no control of the vehicle when esp kicks in and straightens you out or cuts the power because the tires spun a little. worst idea ever for a 390hp truck. dodge built a390 hp truck and then governed that with esp and torque management, this ruck has alot more potential to be better. i didnt buy the truck to get ood gas mileage. esp and mds should be an option not standard..

sorry i am done venting now.

 

If this forum is full of bunny & or tree huggers I'm in the wrong place any way.
If I offend anyone for using my truck for what I bought it for (hauling dead deer and hunting gear) that's unfortunate for them.

If you were slapped for wanting to shut off your dash lights I would have invited the slapper to come drive a couple gravel roads during chase phase of the rut about 2 - 3 hours before sun up & see if they have a change of heart.

 

It's illegal here to hunt from your vehicle. Maybe you should move here and you won't have to worry about your dash lights! Lol! I see your point though being a hunter myself!

 

Same here, I didn't say I was hunting from my truck.
I'm saying it's easier to see deer while driving down the road, to avoid hitting them, with the dash lights turned completely off.

But I would gladly come to Canada for a free bow hunt if your
offering ?
