Also! Your "Off-Road Management Limited" Message is almost certainly due to the truck having new PCM software. Whenever one of them gets flashed you need to do a "TRX Suspension Rebound Reset" with a factory Dodge scan tool. We run into this all the time at my work. I don't think HPTuners supports this function yet. Your local dealer should be able to get it done for you. Just have to put it up on a lift and run the function on the scan tool.

[@Matt_Sanford]

Very true but the truck has a fault in the left front shock. It was that way with the original tune and locked pcm as well. It will be fixed in the next round of upgrades 😊

[@jcims]

I've spent my life working with computers and complex systems and have a bunch of experience and understanding of how things go together, come apart and how they break that I've developed over the course of 20+ years. I've never swapped an engine in a car in my life and I just watch these guys with a lot of, if I'm honest, envy about the experience they have. Not just the 'basics' of pulling an engine and putting a new one in, but solving problems quickly and the *right way* because they know all that same 'stuff' about building machines and running them hard. I just get a kind of a rush watching teams work on stuff like this. It's so cool and I just wish I had more lives to live to experience them all.

I’ve never felt a comment more than this. It’s like a great sense of pride but like damn bro I wish I knew and could do that with ease

[@Flywheel2996]

Same

[@niveded]

Definitely. If you like attention to detail, taking things apart, figuring out how they work and then putting them back together, the automotive industry is great for minds like that. Even as a hobby, people like to buy cheap beaters, fix them up and sell them for profit. Make a little cash on the side while scratching that mechanical itch.
