seafish, thanks. It might be mind over matter, but I feel the engine might be running a little ruff at idle and was wondering if the damper could be the issue. Again, I might be over sensitive. Truck runs fine otherwise.

It looks like we have a fluid damper on these years. I have a 2012. Do these go bad over time? Couldn't find anything on the search.

Cerberusiam, thanks for your reply! I agree with you. Everyone I've seen has said great things about the Revmax VB. I even stopped at there facility a year ago while on vacation. I'm getting all my ducks in a row in making sure everything I need is ready. I had to contact Alpha OBD because...

TMyers, thanks for your thoughts. That info is good to know. I never really liked how the transmission shifted from new. Now with 111k miles, it seems to have gotten a little rougher. My big concern is when I'm coming to a brisk stop. Just before coming to a complete stop I get a bump like the TC...

I'm looking to get a Revmax VB for my 2012 3500 dually with 111k miles. I drive easy and tow at times a 15k 5th wheel. I see in the Alphaobd that I can do a transmission relearn. Has anyone done the relearn with the Alphaobd? I also have the MM3 programmer, I should be able to read the line...

No worries, friend!

Thanks for the replies guys, will reply with end results. Thanks for the link Topzide. Geez, more stuff to read................

I just ordered a replacement key fob from the dealer. I will have it in a few days. I have the Alpha OBD app. I also read on here that I need a 4 digit pin from the dealer to enter into the Alpha app. When reading the Alpha info on what to do, it seems a little scary. Has anyone done this...

Go back to the first thread and look at the pictures. That tool is tricky to hook on. Took me a while to figure out.

Get to "Body Computer", then "Select Control Unit", then select your truck year, then "Connect", on bottom right of screen tap the picture with the car hood open. Scroll all the way down, it's the very last item "Car Configuration Change", then scroll to find what you want.

SO sorry, I can't find it either. I forgot how I got there. Been looking for it now. Need more coffee! LOL.

IT'S FINALLY FIXED!!!! Replaced the fan clutch again. I ordered from Geno's. This is my second time replacing the fan clutch and both times the part ended in AB or 2nd gen. So between the new fan clutch and finding that setting in the Alpha OBD app which said that my "Radiator Fan Type" was...

Congrats!

I Googled Drop Resistor and Series Parallel fan types. We definitely don't have those. They are electric fan types.

Went back and looked at what the other choices were for the "Radiator Fan Type". I selected the PWM 10hz. The other choices are Not Programmed, which what was in there, before I changed anything, then Drop Resistor, Series Parallel and Single Speed. I'm going to try Drop Resistor and Series...
