Hello. I have a 2014 Jeep with the V8 engine and the 8-speed tranny. Anyone heard from Diablo when we could be expecting a tune for these to be released?
Compared to my 2012 i had, my 14 is a night and day difference thanks to the 8speed trans. Phenominal what Jeep has done with the 14GC. They finally are taking some german advice...my neighbor down the street has a 2013 A7 3.0 V6 supercharged with a 8 speed trans too.
I have been waiting on a tune as well but not so much for the 10 extra horsepower I MAY get, but to change the shift points. Has any one else with the 8 speed noticed 1st and second gear not holding to redline? both shift out 500-750 rpm short of redline weather in sport mode, paddle shifters, or eco. when using paddle shifters it just hits the fuel cut off before the tac shows red line. I know this is not a sport veh (my last car was) but I did buy the hemi for a reason and fixing the shift points and fuel cut off will do more for my 0-60 times than any bolt ons. Or should I take it to a dealer and see if they can make up some bull $hit.. i mean have any answers?
Hate to say it, there are a lot of automatic cars that will always shift short of red line, no matter what you do.
I am guessing its a rather broad practice in the non-performance market as Car and Driver seems to regularly note, with surprise, when an auto clicks off up shifts at red line and not before.
.. and +234525235425254 for anxiously waiting for a tuner.
Their also are now supporting 2013 Rams 5.7 which have the ZF8 so we can't be to far away. I almost jump for joy when I got their email stating now supporting 2014 Jeeps which turned out to be just the JK Wrangler's.
