If flogging it gets rid of condensation then that can't be the issue. I blow it out a bit each time I'm in the truck. And yes, I have my eye on the 3.0 diesel ram with 8spd. Intake, tune, and exhaust is 300whp 475wtq. That's enough for me. I'm buying 93 oct so diesel isn't much more. Ill test drive one when they hit lots.

Joe, flash it to stock, and reset the KAM and reflash and see if its still doing it.

Unhook the battery a few minutes.

Keep Alive Memory

Basically, it is constant power to the ECM whether the key is on or off. Unhook the battery, kills, or resets the KAM.

Have you been able to try this?

Traction might not be your issue but I have found 5 seconds is not long enough.

Hold Traction Control Off for 12 seconds and it will disable Advanced Track which is what I do on the dyno so it will definitely spin past 35mph. Keep it held down until the display shows it's off.

^^^^^I thought there was something beyond the 5 secs to toggle off. Very good recommendation.

I do hold it down for 10-15 seconds. It's gotta be something else causing the dip in power.
