    Hi Erick I have a customer with a 14 Ram1500 he wanted to make some changes to the transmission for shifting. He came in after I downloaded the 3.6 version, I did a read engine and transmission, I made the changes and licensed to save the changes. (two Credits) the customer dropped the truck off and I went to upload the tune (clicked on the write to vehicle and it gave me the need to license vehicle and it is showing it now needs four credits. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong any help would be appreciated.

    It takes 2 credits for PCM and 4 credits for trans. so you probably licensed the PCM but did a PCM/TCM read. Technically you could have only tuned trans, but in some cases you need into the PCM to make changes that affect trans (TQM, rev limiters and so on). 6 credits total for them 8-speed equipped Dodges! Mmmmmhhmmm

    Any updates here? I haven't been able to write the Trans for a week now.

    3.7 Beta, licensed the PCM and TCM. Diablosport Unlocked PCM.

    I've had cars that didn't like flashing both at once, the TCM's are a little picky and like a full power down before a flash, so I just flash PCM (select "Do not write to TCM"), power down, then select "Do not write" to PCM and flash TCM by itself. Maybe give that a try.

    Diablo PCMS in the Past have just worked with our software. But they have changed something in there Mod method that now requres the PCM to be sent in to us for our mod service in order to tune with our software. sorry for the delayed response
