Shifting issues at WOT.

[Adub]

Might only be tuned 1.5’ers lol

Only one way to find out…Post your results and specs (lift,level,tires) after testing.

Drove out to Zona Motorsports to pick up some sensor links. I’ll have them installed later today when I get back home and see if the shifting issues is fixed!

New links definitely solved the issue. It shifts like it should now. The ones I have are not the final product. Just a “test” set.

I recommend reaching out to Bobby at Zona Motorsports in Tucson if you need a set of the finished product. I think he said a week or two for the real deal.

I’ll be reaching out tomorrow. It’s go time!

I must tell you, probably my imagination, but I have rolled curbs in my neighborhood and my truck used to bounce like a boat in water leaving the house. After installing the links, it seems much stiffer. With that being said, it feels the same on and off road.

Did Zona say much about the issue or what their thoughts were with the change in lift? And what exactly the links do? Stoked to hear there seems to be a fix!

No sir. These trucks are too smart and they don't want to be messed with. This link is shorter than the OEM and my guess is, they put the sensor closer to the OEM resting position before the lift.

I know he is working on a final product that I assume he will sell, but it's best to reach out with any questions. I didn't really care too much, I just wanted to see if it would shift correctly and it does. I'd be interested to see what's done months down the road by Eibach, or even Ram to see if they fix this so guys can lift/level

Awesome stuff @itsmekylep. Finding the issue and finding a solution.

I may have stumbled upon a problem, but Bobby at Zona fashioned up a fix with the quickness

Good stuff! I’ll see what happens with @Elonmsk (kit vs level) but at this point, I’m still considering other options to keep it safe. I’m like you though, I can’t wait to hear what the manufacturers come up with in response.

Ordered! Will report back when installed.

Are you getting the final product? Or the Interim one?

This is what I have. The final product will be CNC’d. Not just a piece of all thread.

This is great just ordered , but are they looking at different size lifts ? I'm a 2 " plus 3/4 rear what were you again. And thank you for pursuing a solution

I have a 2” as well, the rear is still stock. I’m not really sure on different sizes, but it would make sense if there are a few.

I know Bobby a Zona has ADS suspension and that raised his truck 3”.

Yes, I think he’s shipping them out next week.

Heck ya. Maybe I’ll drive out to Tucson again this weekend

I replaced my stock springs with Geiser Springs so 2.5" Font and 1.7" Rear w/ 37" tires and I also experience the same shifting issues only when in launch mode or doing a break hard start. Truck hits red line about 6500-6700rpms and cuts power till it shifts. sucks! I switch to manual shifting until there is a fix. I had the dealer reset the TCM but that didn't help. They suggested I leave it with them for a week so they can diagnose the problem.

 

[BrandonShepherd22]

For those that upgraded to 37" tires: have you reset your tire size via OBD2 port? Trying to determine if there is an option available instead of going to the dealer... my speedometer reads about 4-5miles per hour slow now with the larger tires. Any suggestions.
