Just an idea that worked for me:
(I had a 2500 Ram QC w 4:10)
Prior to towing, I would pull the "PCM Skip" fuse and clear the PCM computer. This computer "learns" how you drive and adjusts valve timing and all sorts of things to allow your engine to run efficiently. If you clear this fuse, your engine will run with the default settings in the computer. I would suggest you read about it first and then try it. You will be surprised by the "wake-up" your engine gets.
This is by no means a tuner or programmer. It is just about making the best of what you have.
To clear the computer, locate the fuse and pull it out. Turn key to the on position (do not start). Wait for all chimes to stop. Turn key off and then reinsert fuse. When you start the engine, it might run rough for the first 30-45 seconds. Take it for a "spirited drive". You should notice a difference as it shifts. It should feel stronger.
Some people might not agree with these comments, but whatever.... I do know that it worked for me. Good luck.
PS-The 6 speed transmission in the newer Hemi is awesome!
