2007.5 Flashes

I now have my 2007.5 truck at Rev BA and I would like to know what the flashes up to BE do. What do they fix or improve? Perhaps Mullenmax will comment on this.

All the flashes have pretty much been focused on soot reduction and passive regeneration.

sag2 is right, the last two flashes tweek the soot load under some driving conditions and they also deal with some of the information we see on the Witech scan tool.

Is there any chance that these ecm revisions are ever going to stop. What happens when the warranty expires?

You buy a Edge and big pipe air cleaner and delete kit and enjoy the truck and quit coming on here wondering if it will ever end breaking down and needing a new flash that does nothinglol

After reading `Filter and fluid for Aisin Transmission` Issue 65, I went to differents AutoZone ans O'Reily of southern Texas to buy the specified Mobil ATF 3309 and did not get into any luck. They have never heard of it. I went to Burn's Dodge, same thing.
They didn't enen know it existed. I made sure the warranty would be respected and bought ATF+4.
I had to have the shifter (valve body) changed last year in Glendive Montana (had only 5000miles) and the dealer filled my transmission with ATF+4 they had in bulk. It has been running very best ever since. It was done under warranty of course.

Q-. I have a squeek under the dashboard that I can't get reed of. It occurs when I am at a stop light and hold the brake pedal down. It is worst if the wipers are going. If I go in nutral and pull back on the brake pedal with my foot, it stops.
I have tried Jig-a-loo without success. Can you help me?

Thank you.

Mobil changed the bottle and now uses a reformulated ATF fluid. See this post:

Aisin ATF

Your signature and post give us no clue as to which truck you own, pickup or cab and chassis, so we are unable to offer any advice.

If your truck is a pickup you probably bought the correct fluid. If your truck is a cab and chassis you are using the wrong fluid and may regret it.

The cab and chassis Rams use automatic transmissions manufactured by Aisin, a Japanese corporation that builds automatic transmissions for many car lines. The Aisin uses ONLY ATF-3309. Mobil refines and blends the product with the name "Multi-Vehicle ATF" and the spec "JWS-3309" on the bottle.

My last flash for the 07.5 was the AZ and it has done very good for me. I will not re-flash it again. With the addition of the S67 Smarty I am as happy as a toad on a stool. I tow at 60hp with timing with turbo and tQ set at #4. This gives me 11.5mpg towing and I set it at 90hp for daily driving. I get 17-19mpg on overhead on hwy with no load. Overhead is .5 to 1.0mpg off from hand calc.
