You can take the rev limiter off?!?! That’s sweet. Did you select the parameters after the tune was installed or before?

That isn't "the HEMI tick", that's a destroyed camshaft! The HEMI tick is a combination of fuel injector and valve snapping closed.

The hemi tick is also lifter failure, as a result slapping into the cam shaft. The hemi tick is actually anything wrong with the motor apparently.

I did the 91 octane tune on my 2018 Dodge Charger 5.7 and it’s great but it has the coolant fan running on high all the time, it’s really annoying. Anyone know what I could do to fix this?

[@apprenticeautomotive]

Did the fan only turn on after you did the tune? I would check coolant temps when the fan turns on to make sure you’re not running hot. Otherwise maybe it was a setting that turns the fan on at a lower temperature

[@Villainous.]

@@apprenticeautomotive yeah, it’s strictly the tune that turns the fan on after a couple mins of driving or idling, my guess is it might have lowered the temp at which the fans kick on for some reason but I’m not sure

[@FrankyJ913]

Hey guys, I have a 2017 charger RT and need to tune it, what would you guys recommend?

[@apprenticeautomotive]

Well if you’re tuning because of something specific like a Cam shaft, it is best to get a custom tune to make sure your car is performing to the best of its ability and to insure there is no hiccups. However, if your car is stock, starting with a 93 Diablo tune is good and there are options for custom tuning later.

[@t.t.6398]

All 2015 and newer Chargers have locked PCM's and require an unlocked PCM in order to do any tuning at all. I have a 2016 5.7 that holds it's own against 392's, Diablosport sells a PCM swap and tuner set for around a grand.

All Hemi motors will get it eventually, it all depends on the particular motor. Some will get it sooner than others for different reasons. As far as I am aware, idle time won’t effect it. Just make sure your engine oil levels are good.

[@bernie472]

@@apprenticeautomotive I always change my oil, but I also make sure it’s full too. I'll continue to do that. Good advice. Thanks.

[@gamecapturemoments1]

Not really any preventing it. Its all about fixing it the right way once it does happen. Get a NON-MDS rebuild kit, to remove that dumbass 4 cylinder mode. Thats what kills it. Lack of oil pressure. Idling/highway use. Crazy how with these motors, its really a run it hard or kill it kind of thing. I've heard if you run it in slap-shift mode it'll prevent the 4 cylinder mode though.
