If you are not happy with the way it shifts, might give GDE's "Transmission Tune" a try. BTW, I deleted the constipated air intake baffle, made only a tiny difference, can hear the turbo at certain rpm's, barely. My business partner is awaiting to trade his hemi Ram on a Jeep Gladiator Ecodiesel. Rumors it may be offered with 6 speed manual.

 

The Ecodiesel will only come with the ZF eight speed automatic in the Gladiator.

This is a link to my Deleted eco to give you an idea of turbo sound

Those who have deleted that baffle in the stock intake tube, how much more turbo sound did you end up getting?

...I know it makes zero difference in performance, but it is just something I am wondering about.

 

It makes it a little more noticeable at certain times, nothing obnoxious.

My thoughts also Shaggn85 but who knows. If you're looking for a louder turbo whistle you need to remove the noise baffle or change out the the air cleaner system with a air intake system.

 

You guys know that turbo bark is bad for your turbo...why are you trying to make ur engine break itself?

 

LIKE THIS?

I didn’t say it does spin backwards, but it tries, the incoming rush of air essentially hits a wall and goes back through the intake.... you guessed it, backwards. Turbo bark is more pronounced with a VGT turbo charger and common, has a lot to do with drive pressures and vane positioning, it also is affected by the transmission and torque converter lockup.

3.55 rear? If YES 3.92 may be a better, less expensive option than a new truck.

 

I have 3.92

the new cummins aren't coming with manuals anymore either, I'm sure some older models still have them, but they're becoming fewer and farther between

 

Yes. [emoji19] it works but hard to remember at 4am when still waking up to go to work. Also they should have made manual 6 speeds with these trucks. Automatics are for suckers. Should upgrade to Cummins.

You will have to look hard for a 2018 or older Cummins. 2019 on forward will be automatics only. I'd like a 6-speed manual as well. I'd even go with a 5-speed with hi-low rear axle.

 

nope, probably no way to make it sound better, it's just trying to spin backwards at 50-60k rpm, have you tried using the manual shift buttons?

 

Turbo "farting" is just part of a Variable Geomertry Turbo operation. A VGT has vanes that control the boost pressure, when let off the suddenly while building a lot of boost you'll get it. Blow off valves are not needed with a VGT as they just serve to relieve excess boost pressure when the throttle closes suddenly.
A new 6.7 Cummins will do the same "farting", it's just harder to hear over the engine.

the turbo doesn't spin backwards, just the excess air pressure forcing it's way back across the compressor wheel.
