DODGE ???s

[COTA'00 L]

I have a friend at work that just bought a 03 Dodge Ram. He asked me about a chip for his Ram. I know superchip makes one but I told him that a custom tuned chip would be better. Do any of you guys know about a custom tuner for Dodge trucks? I told him to get a Ford but he didnt listen, I would have given him my other Diablo chip.

If its not blown or dosn't have to many mods you really dont need a custom chip.

A local tint shop told him they could get him one for $325 and it would gain 15 hp. I told him to forget it that he wont even feel it. Maybe a custom tuned chip would gain more hp, but who knows about those Rams.

you know those dodges give them to much power and the doors are lible to fall off

On a stock chip he wont fell the 15 hp but he'll feel the recalibrated shift points and timing curbs. he'll like it , he just wont like having to put premium in it.

Tell him to sell it and get a REAL truck.:bash:


J/K Man. ;-) :beer:

Jet makes one supose to add 25hp I didnt do a before or after dyno to see if that holds water but it will move shift points and limiters up. Cost is around $250.00

Well hes going to need more than a chip. The other day I took my L to work (havent used it in 3 weeks) we got out at the same time from work. We get on the I-8 on ramp and he tries to take off on me I floor it and pass him real quick, he just smiles. I thought those Rams where faster. I have respect for the old Hemis but the new ones I dont.

assuming it was a 1/2 ton 2wd hemi he had a horsepower and wt. handicap and your L is modded. Oh course he would have lost. Have to hand to dodge hemi though totaly computer controlled and no lag on the throttle response

I would say the Mopar PCM... seemed to be the computer of choice amoungst the Dakota crowd (esspecially the R/T crowd). Did a hell of alot for my R/T (esspecially shift points). But they stopped making them after 2001... for the Dakota 5.9 atleast.
