ZF8 Programming Questions

4 Attachment(s)

I have a few questions after playing around in the new Beta. I am attempting to get actual "Paddle Shift" functionality out of my Ram 1500, instead of just the Electronic Range Select (ERS) that comes from the factory. I know the Alientech folks are able to make this change to the existing OS... so it's not a matter of the OS not supporting it, but rather something in the calibration/configuration. I do have HP Tuner reads from working tunes from Alientech if anyone wanted to compare.

My stock file has this mapping which makes sense: If the ERS buttons (+/-) are touched, it should drop into the tip-tronic tables which point to 27... and get re-mapped to 5.

Now, in the previous versions the shift mapping table was not changeable. In the Beta though I have modified the remap table to have 27 stay at 27... but the truck still drops into Shift ID 5. I can't understand why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd also like to know if there is any way to force a particular "Shift Situation". From what I understand 0=Normal 1=PRN 2=ECO 3=Track 4=Sport 7=Valet... but is this actually correct? Is there any way to force it to stay in "Track" for instance other than "Normal"? What are the other ~8 options (they range from 0-13...)?

some of these guys are really hard headed and gonna do it their way

no matter fkn what!

i lack power. Cant control my own thoughts... how in the hell am i gonna control someone elses?

it is really hard to talk with someone who already has the answers to their own questions...

regardless, i will donate a few bytes on GP:

track mode IS NOT a shift situation : )

any luck with this?
