G/T bcm file wanted Laramie or Rebel GT 22-24

Same but for the drive modes it is believed a tcm flash may be the only way as well for the paddle shifters to function as designed for the g/t, rho, x and trx. they work but just as limiters ie replace the steering wheel buttons for +/- gears, lots discussed on that in other threads out there. I only desire the drive modes as the paddles function one way or the other is not something I care for but would be to get it all to work as if it was truly off the line a g/t. I havent pushed myself to continue this as I got a banks pedal monster in the meantime and been enjoying that so makes the drive modes not desired as much as before. Sport mode is all I cared for as I use it alot in my jgc, durango and charger so accustomed to its purpose and physically reaching over to push the button in particular scenarios.

Im interested in trying the flash but want to know if anything will break since i have 19 thats never had any changes in PCM or TCM done. I don’t have paddle shifters but would like to do TCM flash just for drive modes without swapping the wheel for paddle shifters(atleast not yet lol). Is that even possible or is the Paddle shifters required for this to work?

Also what happens to the gear +\- buttons do they act as paddle shifters or do they behave like drive mode switches in 25+ trucks?
 
I didn’t do it for mine. I just changed a bunch of settings in the BCM and I got the paddle shifting working like it’s supposed to shifting into first second and third fourth like normal Ivan even have them showing up on the dash letting me know what gear are in.
yes same for me but it is not the same as those that came stock with them. its different

the paddles without a tcm flash will work BUT ONLY as the gear +/- so NOT as the trx and g/t truly do. this is achieved by the bcm settings. Its essentially replacing the +/- buttons on the sw and moves them to be a paddle shifter. as for the drive modes the steering wheel button version is seperate and different found on the left side of the wheel on non floor shifter models. But floor shifter models such as the X, RHO, TRX and G/T the drive mode buttons are in the transfer case switch on the dash that otherwise would have the dial gear shifter.
 
so to gain drive modes by doing the tcm flash it would also change the paddle shifter true function so would think they would be required for it all to work without issues but one can try and see if it just changes the +/- buttons functions.

So, I think I was wrong about getting drive modes working. I got a little ahead of myself, being that the 2025+ have them, along with the TRX. I forgot the pre-2025 G/T doesn’t even offer them, and I don’t think there’s a way to add it, since their functions are mostly dependent on the ABS module that the TRX uses.
If you flash your TCM with a G/T flash file, it won’t gain you anything more than a factory G/T is already programmed for. It will gain you the true paddle shifting though.

I mean I didn’t do any Tcm file upgrade and I can shift up and down into any gears with the paddle and the floor shifter and run them until I shift and I’m not talking about gear limit buttons I eliminate that function just in the bcm

That’s not possible. They’re working just like the gear limit buttons without the correct TCM flash (the shift maps aren’t present in a regular TCM calibration). I can see how someone would think they’re acting as paddle shifters though, as even with the ERS, you can pretty much “shift up and down”. Anybody that has ERS can hit the “-“ button to put the limit in 1st, take off from a stop, and let it rev high while hitting the “+” button shifting through each gear.

Well there goes that. Makes sense, glad it was caught before I continued down the path. So to sum it up for 19-24's the TCM flash will only gain you true paddle shifting as if a g/t vs them being ers with just doing bcm changes. 25+ a tcm flash may be needed to add drive modes I presume.

From the dead stop the shift will tell me it can’t shift past 2nd it shifting not allowed

So if I use the file u sent I’m going to see if it makes any difference
 
I don’t think we can use the flash file directly either. At least in my case i have 3.21 gears since i have a 19 Laramie and all the TRX and Rebel GT have different gear ratios. I don’t think we can modify or tune the TCM? [mention]Jimmy07 [/mention] is there a gearing restriction or something that im missing?

Can’t use a 2025 TCM flash, since it’s on a different CAN architecture and proxy configuration.
There’s quite a bit more involved in the drive modes than just the TCM. It’s the DTCM (transfer case module), PCM calibration, and abs module too, since drive modes basically shift around power percentages sent to the drive wheels, traction control/esc, etc.

So basically, the TCM flash will make a regular 1500 with paddle shift and console shifter swap behave exactly like a factory equipped Laramie/Rebel GT.

Would the gear ratio matter for TCM only flash file in the post above or can it be changed to match my 3.21 axle ratio?

I don’t think gear ratio really matters, since everything is based off of the wheel speed sensors.

Thanks i was looking at the flash availability doc and they have like 7 different versions for 22-24 trucks and these two were the closest i could find to mine except the gear numbers.

Idk what the PS and PS 6 mean. Im assuming it’s Paddle Shifters but not sure on what the 6 means.

Yes, PS is paddle shift, but also not certain what 6 means. All VIN specific flashes I’ve seen was the one without the 6.

So question the files you posted in previous post is the correct one for the 1500
 
The TCM flash you have is from a GT eTorque. I did it and got many codes in my TCM and BCM, and then I flashed one from an SRT Jeep and it worked without problems, but you would need to use HP Tuner to adjust the shift points.
 
Mine is also a 321, and the closest I got was a 3.73 gear
