sweet!
They act like the gear selector buttons on the bottom right of your wheel.
you can basically swap wheels and the paddles will do same as buttons. you don't have to touch any bcm settings. its plug and play, direct swap. But yeah, its just the gear limit functions.
that's the function i don't need lol i need it to up and down shift when i want to and not go to the gear on its own. im holding it off until we find a way to make it work like proper floppy shifters
Totally agree man. That’s my end goal.
props to you for tackling this and be the first man to eat the crab.
Pretty sure you mean oyster. Or bearded clam, either one works. But not crab.
in my country where i grew up it's crab lolll we didn't have oyster back then and now it's still some exotic expensive food item
Lol gotcha. Here, there’s a saying, “It was a brave man that ate the first oyster”.in my country where i grew up it's crab lolll we didn't have oyster back then and now it's still some exotic expensive food item
The paddle shift function is part of the TCM. That being said the only Ram option is the GT for the 8HP75 which is only available with BSG. The TCM comes 2wd or 4wd with BSG only. I currently have a non BSG transmission with the BSG TCM and the paddles work just like a GT with proper BCM setting but set a CEL for the missing electric pump on the valve body. Today I had the idea to install a Rubicon 392 TCM and it works well but this is only available in 4wd so without a t-case the CEL will be set. This is all running on my 2019 Ram with GT steering wheel and console swapped but I also have a 22 BCM installed so I am unable to verify if it works with the 19-20 BCM.
How'd you manage to get the 22 bcm programmed for your 19? Every dealer I've tried declined to do it for any amount of money.
do you need to have the center console shifter to make it work? i was hoping to retain my knob shifter and only add paddles and have the paddles work as they should.
can you give some additional info on swapping a BSG TCM? did you do a new or used part, and what programing was required?
I have not tried without the console shifter but when I have time I will swap the dial control back in and give it a try.
Witech will allow the dealer to program any BCM the is compatible. I had both a 22 and the newer 23 BCM both programmed with dealer tools. Restore car configuration and them a BCM replace procedure was all it took. The programming code was used for the BCM replaced part.
Thanks. Guess the trick is finding a dealer that will do it then. Alas. I thought that was the case but can't find someone to do it.
thank you and please let me know how that works!
I'm going through the route of doing this without a console shifter.
