Dodge Tuning Basics with HPtuners

Dodge tuning basics using HPtuners, in this video i walk you through the operation of HPtuners. Thanks for watching!

[@trevorseals6588]

Modern dodge performance isn’t talked about much, good to have somone make a video about tuning these animals. Looking forward to more. Just got up tuners myself and you have already been a big help

[@zomie1]

Can't wait to see a deeper dive into the engine tuning.

[@MitchellSmith]

Thank you so much for making this video (hopefully series). I am a brand new diy tuner who owns nothing but Mopars and everyone online is tuning GM and Ford stuff.

[@ChrisDroge]

This is what I'm finding out myself.

[@moparrdudee87]

Mopar gang. I’m trying to get into running in my area. Not alot of mopar shops. Mostly 5.0 and LS

[@seVen1O]

Subscribed! Cant wait to see more in depth Dodge tuning info! I've got the Mmx NSR cam in my 6.4 and cant get the idle to sound like it should.

[@lrs333]

Do you have a video or can you make a video to help disable check engine light and show general parameters so my bolt-on instalation can benefit from AMR long tube headers 5.7L Ram 1500

[@thomasjohnson1142]

Not a lot of info on dodge tuning so let’s dive in I have the Greg banish book as well big help I’ve been tuning GMs about a year learned from Goat Rope Garage on KZbin and on my own he’s been a big help he doesn’t do mopar I’m more of LS guy but a lot of friends have dodges and won’t leave me alone about timing so bring it on .

[@nstudiodesign]

We need a video of how to install an email tune with the already stock tune... if we have the stock tune in the HP VCM Editor, then open the new email tune, how can we change ONLY the parameters of what we need change.

[@brianr1840]

I am interested in disabling my MDS on my 2021 Chrysler 300 and my 2021 Dodge Durango and both have the 5.7 Hemi. I’m not interested in messing with any of the other tuning I just want to shut off the MDS can I do that with the HP tuner software that you have?

[@hermannweinzierl5731]

yes

[@artemtsvetkov3655]

In spark table Aircharge is not % it’s in grams (.90g or 900mg seen in other tables). I’m tuning my 5.7 with supercharger, would love to see you post more advanced video.

[@ChrisDroge]

When are you going to make another video with HP Tuners? I bought the MPVI2 and looking to learn how to tune my 06 RT Charger

[@DropTopPerformance]

I've got a few videos back logged, been really busy the last few weeks with races. What in particular would you like to see?

[@calebsdaddy2010]

I need your help, i have a 08 charger rt with msd delet and a cam ,headers .i paid big money to have it tuned and the guy obviously didnt know what he was doing , its driveable but runs super rich (can always smell fuel) lags going into power and when u rev it its very slow to idle back down, any way you could help me i have hp tuners and am learning but any help would be awesome.

[@kendesign3622]

How do you skip over the a/c like its no big deal. The hole point of a custom tune is to not have to shut off your a/c if you want the hole shot at a traffic light. It will just drop out the compressor at a set percentage of throttle. I would think that would be useful in Florida.

[@CarlosReyes-dw3sn]

I have a Diablo tuning a wanna go whit HP tuners I have the HP tuners on box but I'm not sure if just plug into Diablo tuning or what?

[@29auto30]

Thanks for the vid. going to try to see if i can get into a 2016 ram 1500

[@malenymartinez8530]

why does hp tuners dont want to read the car , it says failed right away 2018 Charger RT

[@dirtyd2749]

Glad you are doing this in steps. Thank you for doing a detailed walk through. I'm working on my PT and this is very helpful.

[@mysixfo8805]

all bullshit aside., your videos are very slow but the most informative. the way you break things down in your explanations. plenty of people have videos out there but you get lost on understanding what they are doing and why. hope to see more videos from you in the future.

[@johnsally6304]

My car came tuned from previous owner on a diablo but did not give me tuner. Can I buy an Hp to retune?

[@DropTopPerformance]

Yes you can

[@CustosLibertas]

I thought if you did a 6.4 swap and changed your displacement to 6.4 in the PCM you’d throw an ABS code.

[@markroberts362]

I'm in the process of modifying a 2018 5.7 to run a hell cat blower using a HP ECM and I'm realy interested in information as far as tuning goes

[@DjDubStak]

So I can use this to MDS delete my Ram 1500? Can this also adjust the voltage to the throttle like the Pedal Commander?

[@DropTopPerformance]

Absolutely!

[@Dave_Bee]

The stock mopar timing seems crazy low compared to ford and Gm How much more can it take ? Seems like it’s nothing for timing stock

[@Mercmarc8]

Is there a way to adjust my transmission to stay in 4th gear until around 50 mph this car wants to shift straight to 5 gear around 35 or 40 mph I live in an area with a lot of hills it’s never flat I want it to stay in 4th till 50 mph

[@trevorseals6588]

Can you do a run though of the process of tuning a dodge with say a cam where you have to correct the ve tables?

[@miidaiir]

I have a 2014 charger se , I want the speed governor and I’ve seen so many diff reviews on different brands and I’m not sure which tuner to get to increase horsepower and top speed , also I’ve seen there’s a risk where it might not work at all and can even lock up causing your car to not turn on or something .

[@Vladesco911]

Thank you for the great video. In order to use HP Tuners to change fan settings in Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2019 do I need to buy an unlocked PCM or I simply need to buy a license to allow me to do it?

[@creoleVI]

Unlocked PCM because dodge blocks modification via tune

[@waynewillis66]

For a Introduction it was fine . The Acronyms were fine and explanations for them. A-Z Introduction start to finish hitting on all the highlights was Fine. As an old mechanic with no esperance tuning a computer in my Dodge / Challenger 2019 5.7 T/A.

[@melissakasper1772]

Great video i share this with my husband and i subscribe to the channel

[@Theferg1]

Hey bro great video!! I have a 2016 Ram 3500 Cab and chassis 4x4 6.4L I am looking for a tune for my truck would you know if this will work for my truck? If not do you know of one that may work? Thank you!!💯👍

[@DropTopPerformance]

So HPTUNERS can be used for any vehicle on their supported list. So yes it can be used with your truck.

[@brucebaker1715]

Yes I do plan to return "ON A LATER DATE"

[@hermannweinzierl5731]

The stock VE- tables looks like Grand Canyon

[@CarlosGutierrez-nk2zd]

2015+ they are all locked so you have to Unlock your ECU

[@mistermike770]

Any good videos on step by step setting up Histograms for Dodge?

[@jlrockafella]

Can you tune your gen 3 hemi and still pass smog I ca?

[@kingofgaming267]

Good thing I don't have vvt I have a 2004 5.7

[@theboyzz1862]

How can I get a crackle tune for my 2005 Chrysler 300 touring 3.5 v6

[@stevesisson4886]

I am so glad to have found your channel. Really looking forward to getting into my dodge

[@trevorseals6588]

What if I don’t have the power enrichment “air charge” table? I only have “PRatio” also I have a 2005 hemi and it only has speed density not nural network. maybe that’s why?

[@daviddrake8193]

When are you going to do more videos on how to tune the engine

[@able_trucking780]

More mopar hp tuners videos.

[@able_trucking780]

Cam tune then forced induction

[@williamsimpson5077]

Great vid! There's not much out there for the MOPAR stuff. Where did you get your knowledge of Dodge tuning?

[@DropTopPerformance]

Well I went through the tuning school for GM stuff but I have done a lot of trial and error with my own charger. The same techniques apply for all EFI engines, the operating system is just different.

[@LarryReynolds591]

MDS failure isn't nearly that common... this has been demonstrated. Techs know how common it is. stop with the misinfo

[@Jamescantfindaname]

Love how you explain the basics...but not so much that you think someone who has never worked on a car is watching lol.

[@DropTopPerformance]

You would be surprised by the questions I receive man lol

[@1badcaddy1]

Hoping you could tell me how to change operating systems from pcm to pcm. 15 +. Have seen a few on gm but not dodge

[@rolandosantiago8045]

Thanks for the content! What tuning schools would you recommend? I'm absorbing any and all content. Thanks again for taking the time to explain everything. This video is invaluable.

[@CaliAz_Adv]

i have a question. im thinking of purchasing an HP tuner hardware and software. will it correct my speedometer since my vehicle i changed the gear ratios and bigger tires. thank you

[@yournextcarcarreviews6375]

Great video man! Definitely looking forward to seeing more tips for tuning

[@DropTopPerformance]

Look forward to posting more!

[@funfart1660]

This video contains No helpful info at all . I don't think any hemi tuning videos from dtg have info that would benefit anyone trying to truly tune there own vehicle.

[@Smurf345.]

I have a question, I have a 2019 Dodge charger RT, I got a tune with a Corsa Cold air intake, I recently switched to a JLT series 2 intake, do or should I get a retune or will the car learn on its own

[@HollywoodEastPrCo]

You still around?

[@Buster10211995]

Im gettin negative timing in spark, can anyone help me on 2015 dodge charger se 3.6l

[@markrich3271]

ehh spark plugs

[@meganmcdonald1260]

I like the disclaimer 😂

[@DropTopPerformance]

Gotta make sure people know!

[@sweatyychicken]

Can you load on Diablo tune to HP software and modify it there just on the fuel table ?

[@TrailerParkMotorsports]

Very difficult to gap to, but it got the job done

[@DropTopPerformance]

Dude🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kbilly118]

I have a 2015 Durango RT and I JUST want to adjust the cooling system to operate with a 185⁰ thermostat. Is hptuners the best way?

[@DropTopPerformance]

Honestly the $299 for the MPVI2 is an easy choice to me. You can do so much with it, and you can use it as a great diagnostic tool for any car.

[@DropTopPerformance]

And tune just about any car if you so desire, if you have one you also have the ability to have it remotely tuned by someone like myself

[@kbilly118]

@@DropTopPerformance forgot to mention, I also added a 6.4 intake manifold. I've been using long runners full time, can this operate the opening and closing of the short runners without adding the msd switch and extra accessories?

[@DropTopPerformance]

Woah ill be completely honest with you I didn't know the 6.4 intakes could change from short to long runners🤯 thats crazy to me! For faster response please message on my Facebook page Drop Top Performance.

I have a 2013 Ram with the six-speed. I learned how to tuning the transmission, if you would like I can send you my base tune as well as the tune with the Trans go on, so you can see what exactly was changed on the transmission. Primarily pressures, shift Point as well as turning off some pork management

[@garzajorge10]

Interested on the tuning for the trans...send me a message

[@shift_nation4785]

You can tune manuel transmission? On Mopar cars...I thought only the Auto

[@MrYukon04]

You don't have to change engine displacement if you swap

[@xICEMANx117]

Awesome video, thanks for answering alot of my questions on here and on facebook. I look forward to your future videos.

[@DropTopPerformance]

Happy to help buddy!

[@hostilehemi9740]

Biggest question I have is to where to even start tuning after a custom build. Bigger cam, aftermarket intake, headers, supercharger, ect. I have a couple months to learn as much as I can. as I'm still waiting on back order parts. Basically looking to have it done on a dyno in real time, no revision e mail tunes. But I'm looking to be able to get her to run initially on my own. Glad I came across your channel.

[@droptopgarage799]

Nice!

[@eugenecummings1526]

Good video. I can’t wait to see the one on how to actually tune a charger, so I can tune mine

[@DropTopPerformance]

I'm going to be working on it step by step. I want to Crawl, Walk, run method it. So it might be a while before I show from beginning to end tune if that makes sense
