1954Radio,
What do you mean by "scrapping them?" Are you referring to them completely putting in a NEW tranny or just rebuilding the old ones. When I took mine in they just rebuilt it with new parts. My question is will I continue to see problems in the future if that's the case. It would have been about $4000 if it wasn't under warranty.

Also, do you have any information/links as to how prevalent the tranny problems are with these trucks/cars? The dealer I took mine too said that my trucks tranny going out at 33,000 miles was very rare and hadn't seen it before. So, the possibility of the superchip having something to do with it entered my mind.

What do you mean they flashed your truck and now you can put your superchips in there? What was the flash for on your receipt? Did you bring it back to stock before bringing your truck in? I'm scared to bring my truck in for any reason if they end up doing the same.

I'll have to look at receipt, but yes there was an update to the PCM. I did have the truck back to stock, so when I put the tuner back on it scanned and had me download to Superchips. Going on 5 weeks now. Ususally they get right back, hell, I'm thinking of buying a Diablo and selling this one just so I can get my tune back!

If I am not mistaken Diablo does not have support for 11-12 Ram's yet. Last I knew they also did not have the ability to change shift schedules.

Don't go to diablo you'll regret it. I had 2 trinity's that i actually finally got rid of, one that i bought my ol man for his 2009 f-250 powerstroke and it ****ed up his pcm not once but twice. It screwed up midway writting the tune and locked the truck right up couldn't start it or do nothing. Had to get towed to the dealership and even ford couldn't plug their machine or whatever to get it reflashed, it wouldn't read so they had to order a 1500$ pcm for it to work, twice. Luckily it was warranty and they didn't ask too many questions. So now my ol man wants nothing to do with these and i don't blame him. I also had one and the unit are just cheap, the connector screwed up on me twice where the cable plugs in the unit. And they don't have a tow tune, live and learn. Superchips is way better from my experience and way easier to use.

Still nothing for the 2011 and up from sc? I just find this hard to believe that after tuning these ecu's for years they can't get in these now.

That's because up to the 2011 PCM security has been easy. Trust me, we would love to sell products for these years but the new security measures Chrysler has in place are very tough to break.

That being said, we have made headway with Cummins applications and hopefully that will equate to some forward movement in the gas apps as well.

Weird that companies like smarty and h&s have cracked the 11/12 diesels maybe we can get them to start working on gas engines
