Does the transmission have a sport mode? The Ram 1500 8 speed is tuned to be very smooth, but doesnt shift nearly as quickly as the durango R/T or the SRT models with similar trans.
I can turn traction and stability control off, just in 4x4 lock or 4x4 auto modes. It will turn back on above a certain speed but is totally off. Just hold the switch down for 5-10 seconds in 4x4 lock or 4x4 auto...big slides on snow with no traction control kicking on.
I can't comment on towing, but i drive a standard spring sport and occasionally drive my fathers air suspension limited. The air suspension certainly has a few benifits.
1. ride quality is softer, but also more stable on the highway with air suspension.
2. adjustable ride height is nice, these...
its very common for tuners to turn of MDS on gm engines, and it turns it off properly for good. Real custom tunes are amazing, the factory tends to be very conservative for bad owners that use cheap fuel etc. Lots of room for performance if you use good gas and take care of the vehicle.
even without other mods a proper tune is much better than the pulsar. A real tune can adjust air fuel ratio, timing, etc for high octane fuel , actually turn off the MDS, tune out torque management and tune the transmission. The pulsar basically adjusts throttle response and tricks the truck...
does the pulsar change the full throttle shifts? I like the smooth shifts at part throttle but this zf trans can snap off upshifts much faster than the factory tune does.
Its a real disappointment that no one seems to sell reg cab short box trucks anymore. They are a blast to drive, look great and are fast due to the reduced weight. I noticed that Chevy is making regular cab trailboss trucks for the middle east, but not north america. This seems like a missed...
I love mine and dislike driving at night in my other vehicles that don't have them. I live down a country road, and being as it is dark for most of the day during the winter they are a great feature to have. When i drive other vehicles, including a cadillac CT6 with excellent LED lights i find...
Good to see more info trickling in on the TRX! That is a very wide axle, so it should have a killer stance with wide flared arches similar to the Ramrunner or the 4th gen TRX concept.
Compared to my 17 sport it is a touch quicker and a little smoother. I understand it is also more efficient also and the ratios are a little different.
As far as i know, Fiat Chrysler manufactures the ZF design in house in the USA. Some other manufactures purchase them pre-built from ZF.
I have the upmost confidence in this transmission, the previous gen was excellent and the new one is rated for more torque and is just as smooth. It is also...
