What do I do to remove this damn govener?

[lawlavigne]

I'm sure this has been answered in other threads but I decided to try and top out and it shut down at 105 mph and that was in 5th gear. Not a single mph more if I manually went to 6-8. If there a simple programming device to unlock this?

Unlock your pcm

 

[lawlavigne]

So basically get the Diablo pcm and tune it? Has anyone done this and got some top speed results?

Yes I got my rebel to 130. It had a bit more but that was enough for me.

I’ve got up to about 115. I have a procharger so it was still pulling pretty good at that point. Stopped because I worried about the driveshaft and cops lol.

 

[lawlavigne]

Sucks you have to spend so much money to get any potential your hemi has. I was thinking it would atleast get to 120 before shutting off. Not being able to use 3 gears topping out is stupid.

The tune really wakes it up though. If your looking for a tuner look at Moe’s performance. They sell the diablo tuners and you can buy a Hemifever custom tune as well. I bought the tuner from there with the custom engine and transmission tune for 200$ extra. I think it’s definitely worth it. If you don’t buy from Moe’s then you should go to Hemifever’s website and get a custom tune as well or get one from jay greene.

I'm definitely going to look into that. About how much all that run you?

 

[Caballonegro]

Just unlocked mine, PCM swap, and Hemifever is working on my final tune.

It was 519$ for the just the tuner and pcm swap And an additional 200 for the custom engine and trans tune

That's much cheaper than I was expecting. Is there a way to save factory settings for warranty issues and dealer services?

What kind of performance gains have you gotten so far?

 

[josh]

Yes it saves the factory tune and you can flash the factory backup back onto the truck

I don't have any actual numbers but the ram feels like it gained so much torque. I love it's Characteristics and has been my favorite mod so far. With the i3, you can change the throttle response.

 

[josh]

I turned the throttle response all the way up on the tune and I have a pedal commander and I leave it turned up all the way

[lawlavigne]

That was going to be my next question bc I also have the pedal commander. That's gotta be outrageous to have both throttle response and PC topped out bc it's hard to drive normal with the PC at sport+ +4 as is right now lol

Keep in mind - the dealer/FCA can see if he PCM was unlocked - and how many times it's been flashed.

WAY BETTER OFF getting a new unlocked PCM and swapping it in (for warranty purposes). Don't give FCA any reason to deny a claim (and an unlocked PCM is a valid reason). And I have an FCA 7yr/unlimited extended - so I'm going for the swap if I do anything PCM related.

I'm waiting to save some spare $$ for the Mopar CAI/CAT Back & PCM - Diablo tells me with their "canned tune" for this config, it's good for about 60HP/TQ. Personally, I'd spend the $$ just to get the governor removed. It's irritating beyond belief.

I posted a similar question a few months ago about the limiter - and got a lecture from someone about "driving so fast on public roads". MYOFB.

YMMV...

May be a better route for me bc I'd rather be clean of any means that I made something fail by a mod and get screwed on any warranty. A few hundred more for an extra PCM that's unlocked would be worth it in that case. But you're right it's frustrating paying all this money to get 80% if even that at what they are advertising. And I've also read up on that Mopar CAI and it's crazy more expensive than other reputable CAI's. Is there a specific reason for you getting that exact one?

 

[19TXLimited]

Wouldn't the PCM also track mileage, etc which would be visible to FCA?

Not new to tuning, but not super experienced either. I had a 17 Camaro SS prior to the ram with a supercharger, catless longtubes, CAI and upgraded cooling. Put 605HP to the rear wheels, but I traded it in before anything broke and I was using the stock PCM/FPCM/TCM for tuning with HP Tuners.

Are there any piggyback tuners that are capable of removing governor and acquiring more HP/TQ on the Ram?

I also have a 5 or 6 year 100k warranty so I really don't want to chance anything. Would be nice to pull more power though now that I have 285/55R22 E-rated tires on the truck.

most pcm's will count key cycles so if you take in your 2 yr old truck with 10 key cycles recorded on it they are going to know somethings up
