Attention: TDR Forum Junkies To the point: Click this link and check out the Front Page News story(ies) where we are tracking the introduction of the 2025 Ram HD trucks.
2002 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with a 116k miles, haven't replaced any a/c components, I just used up an entire can of freon earlier today to get it maxed out full yet it's still not as cold as it should be. I'll put the gauge on tomorrow to see the difference if any.

So I just ordered the Smarty s03 programmer for my 2002 Cummins after hearing many great things about it, currently running the Edge EZ that was on the truck when I bought it. I'm curious what best level to run the tune on my stock automatic 47RE transmission (which are obviously notorious for being...
