From what I've been told the adjustable parameters will be the same as the 05'-08's.
If you go to their website, it will tell you what those are.

OK this is what can be adjusted:

Idle
MDS on/off
Part Throttle Upshift
RPM Shift Points
Rev and Speed Limiter
Tire size
WOT Fuel
WOT Spark

No ESP control!!!!!!!!

Now if I knew anything about the above adjustments I would know what this thing is capable of.

Default TQ Management

When you say ESP control what do you mean? Does it negate any of the torque management or is this what you are referring to when you said ESP?????

Let us know when you get a chance ot take it out and play.

This is like a kid in a candy store except I wish all the candy was 25 cents each!

There is not ESP/TM control adjustments as of yet. The canned tunes have some adjustments already made but it does not seem to be user adjustable.


This is what I got from DS.

Mike I was playing with the predator and I did not see these quick adjust settings, should they be there?


Quick Adjust parameters

Quick adjust parameters do not require a reflash to take effect, they require a key cycle, these parameters are available in a separate "Quick Adjust" menu item as well as in the modify parameters menu.
User will be asked to cycle key after each adjustment.

· ESP mode
Enable or disable the ESP (traction control), NOTE: When disabled the ABS, ESP BAS and (Brake) lights will be illuminated and ABS will not be operational

· Reset TCM adaptation
Resets the learned TCM adaptation(instead of pulling a fuse).

· Shift Points
Raise shift points by a predefined setting, 5.7L's (1-2 5800rpm, 2-3 6000rpm, 3-4 6000rpm), 6.1L's (1-2 6400rpm, 2-3 6400rpm, 3-4 6400rpm).(N/A on Jeep)

· Shift Firmness
Reduces torque management between shifts for a firmer shift , N/A on SRT8 vehicles.

· Autostick auto upshift
Enable/Disable automatic upshift when in manual autostick mode, ie. raise your rev limits and you can shift manually at any rpm without the vehicle automatically upshifting (as it would do stock).(N/A on Jeep)


No, that list is for cars, only QA for trucks is tire size.

Your shift point adjustments are actually part of the tune, unlike the LX cars which do it as a QA change…

IMHO the Shift points, Rev and Speed Limiter are definitely needed. Too bad we are not getting the full manual without upshift. I will assume the WOT Fuel and spark are most effective in the 93 tune. I already get good part throttle upshift from my Volant and Mufflex combo. The new MDS flash makes turning it off less important. I wonder what is keeping them from giving us the same features are the cars get?

Maybe I'm slow but it’s hard for me to get a handle on the status of this thing. For the 09 Ram :

Does it or doesn't it turn off TM and/or ESP - if so to what degree?

What are the HP/TQ gains on 93?

If I have just missed this somewhere, my apologies. This is certainly not a reflection on you FL09RamSport, I appreciate your reports and am convinced you are reporting as precisely as possible considering the info from Diablo appears as a moving target. It looks to me like Diablo might favor rushing this thing to market over being thorough. I too am like a kid in the candy store and anxiously await any info as soon as available, keep us posted sir.
