Okay I just purchased my second diesel, a 2011 RAM 2500 4 door laramie with a G56 manual transmission. I had a 2007.5 Ram 2500 auto transmission. Any way I have been getting mixed signals. I have updated my smarty jr with 2011 software/firmware. my question is this are all levels safe for my manual transmission SW 1, 2, & 3 if I leave all other settings alone ie., PoD timing......??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

i have seen stock trucks with slipping clutch issues.

 

Stock clutch is junk. Start saving your pocket change for a aftermarket clutch.

 

 

yep get a clutch

 

I run mine on 3 most of the time but when you put your foot in her it WILL slip the clutch. Heck mine even does it on 2. I'm hoping Uncle Sam is going to be nice to me in the spring so I can do 19.5 wheels and tires plus a new clutch set up.

 

Don't know about the smarty but mine with 150k with the stock clutch is still doing fine. Tow more than not too.

 

On a stock truck with only the 350 hp this is fine now push it close to 500 like mine and see how well it holds

 

My clutch has been fine on SW1. I have tested it several times (to the floor at 1,600 to 1,800 rpms on a 5-6% grade pulling about 10,000 lbs).

 

wont take much of it trust me
