Dodge Ram (2009) 1500 EcoDiesel 240 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (США, 1925). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 240 to 305 hp (+65 hp, +27%) and torque from 570 to 660 Nm (+90 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC17C49, Bosch EDC17C79. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. The ZF 8HP70 TCU is calibrated with a separate file — torque limiter and shift maps for Stage 1. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants. The 2009 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.
Dodge specialises in muscle cars (Charger, Challenger) and SUVs (Durango). The Hemi V8 is Dodge's iconic muscle-car engine. The Hellcat and Demon are Dodge's top segment, with extreme power output. Chrysler uses Cummins diesels in the commercial segment (Ram). DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Chrysler/Ram diesels. On high-output Ram diesels, Stage 1 is especially felt in the torque gain.
The US Chrysler community has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. HP Tuners is the leading tool for Chrysler/Dodge. High-output Chryslers are Hemi V8s with solid headroom for Stage 1.
Chrysler uses the ZF 8HP on its top models. The TCU rarely needs recalibration up to Stage 1+.
