is a Direct connection option or higher horse power HO Hurricane engine coming?

[Rhino bob]

It took about 5 min of looking back at all the past posts to realize get the cat6 now and not waste time waiting on a DC tune.

I agree. At this point, it seems DC is all talk. I couldn't even find a reference on their site that a tune was coming.

I feel our RHO's have become the redheaded stepchild of Ram, even though Tim raves another the Hurricane engines.
Damn it Tim give us what we want.

For what it worth I ask AI
What is Direct Connection doing for the Hurricane 3.0?
The answer

Factory ECU Tuners (In Development)
Direct Connection is currently collaborating with prominent aftermarket calibration giants (including Holley and DiabloSport) to build factory-validated engine tuners. While third-party options like the JB4 bypass factory limits, Direct Connection's upcoming tuning modules aim to safely calibrate fuel maps, advance timing, and safely increase factory boost levels while maintaining complete integration with your stock vehicle diagnostic and emissions systems.

It’s AI so take it with a grain of salt, but how it’s interpreted may suggest something. To me it implies an actual tune. Recalibrating fuel maps, timing, and boost. Instead of bypassing or fooling.

I asked the same question about a week ago to Gemini and got a very similar response

I could see it happening. with the new atlantis architecture in place people will be wanting to tune the TRX also so hopefully we get some more players in this space. I would like to get a 100hp boost on my RHO but holding out.

Honest question. With most if not all of Stellantis software updates seemingly causing just as many new issues as they fix, are all of you guys really comfortable using a tuner from them if one is ever released?

Their latest software update is now causing issues with the UConnect screen not turning off after the truck is turned off and the door is opened.

I don’t think you can dream up a software issue any simpler than that…programming is obviously not their strong point.

Yes they are allegedly collaborating with companies that know how to do this, but my initial optimism and interest in a factory tuner is fading fast.

I'll do it if the price and performance line up. I've had limited issues. most annoying issue I've had was after recent update my AA wasn't working, but after a hard reset it's been flawless.

Yes. Because if my engine ever explodes, I still have the warranty. Any headaches besides that are sometimes the price you pay to mod your vehicle.

I prefer to blow up my engine the old fashion way, …I earned it.

if someone can crack the encription on this new software then they are probably pretty solid at sofware systems...I am not to worried about adding some extra HP to this engine. Engine seems stout and seems to be able to take it. I am more concerned down the road on the electronics grimlens. From my understanding other OEMS are also now going to this same approach for software like Stellantis.

Yeah the electrical gremlins are killer. I keep finding new ones all the time. Stupid stuff too like my driver front window…I’ll hit the button to roll it up and it starts then goes back down….

• Turn the vehicle's ignition to the ON position (engine can be running or off).

• Push the window switch down to open the window completely.

• Keep holding the switch down for 3 to 5 seconds after the window is fully open.

• Pull the window switch up to close the window completely.

• Keep holding the switch up for 3 to 5 seconds after the window is fully closed.

• Test the automatic feature by briefly pressing or pulling the switch to see if auto-up and auto-down work properly.

• Repeat the entire process a second time if the automatic function does not work on the first try

Have you tried this yet?

So I reached out to Direct Connection myself. Didn’t expect anything.

They just shot me this email though. This actually sounds encouraging.

So, SEMA…

 

[Faze]

next level sounds good, probably more than the 40hp the rumored tuner was supposed to add

Nice! That's the closest they've ever came to directly saying "yes, we have mods for the RHO coming".

They've alluded to it before, but it was a more generic version of "don't worry, we're working on it, it's coming".

Can't wait for SEMA.

40? Ugh wtf. Doesn’t the jb4 and cat6 add 90hp?

 

[RamFan]

Do a search.

Supposedly, I just got one and lost zero time on my 0-60 lmao.

Ima retry but with all maps next week.
