Anyone take a crack at a tune for this thing yet?

I'd like to know myself how to get this thing to turn. Steering with throttle can only do so much.

Ok, found a solution for this thing. Here's what I have installed:

• Sport Soft tires
• Full Racing Suspension
• Adjustable LSD
• Close Ratio 5-speed (Racing might be better)
• Bigger Supercharger
• Sport Air Filter
• ECU Tune
• Full Stage 3 Weight Reduction
• Chassis Stiffening

Setting based off of Smiley Beat's tune HERE.

Suspension:

Ride Height = -35 / -35
Spring Rate = 10.2 / 6.5
Extension = 3 / 4
Compress. = 4 / 6
Camber = 2.3 / 0.9
Toe = -0.20 / 0.00

LSD = I 9 / A 51 / B 32

Brakes = 5 / 3

This setup was good enough for a 7:41.630 on the Nurburgring, although I could have gone faster since the short ratio gear box tops out at 140mph. You might find the full racing transmission to be more suited to the truck, I still have to test it.

My opinion, truck handles great. It took all the bumps on the Nurburgring like they were nothing. Absorbed them with ease and turned when I needed it to. Nice to know these GT4 setups will adapt over with ease. 👍

Edit: Nice thing about the aftermarket gear boxes is that it actually makes the truck sound supercharged in the replays.

Oh, and leave the stock exhaust on it. Sounds the best.

This is the setup I was looking for the Sport Truck Race Seasonal Event.
Handles great (with or without the big turbo).
I Love It!!!!!!

I'll have to try it now.
Anyone with your abilities must have a decent tune.

 

[CSLACR]

I made a tune, starting with the setup listed, I think you'll find excellent improvements in steering and lap time.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5677689#post5677689

I didn't actually finish a lap with the posted tune, it's very controllable and easy to drive, but I ended up with something not much harder to drive and easily 10 seconds faster, I ran a 7:29 on my second lap, and I know you're faster than me, so I hope you enjoy it.

You'd think there'd be more truck tunes just because of those events, ain't?

 

[DLR]

If its a fast truck your looking for, get the Dodge Ram. Almost 800HP, AWD and 450PP. Great for pulling surprises in Drag AND racing rooms

No, I got the tune from a guy that was using it for GT4. I actually do that a lot for most of the standard cars. GT Vault FTW.

 

[Akmuq]

Erm, I'm not sure if there's actually much tuning on mine but would you like a tune for Indianapolis? I have to get one done for High Speed Ring as well soon so I'll post it here.👍

 

[m_star01]

I tried this tune but some reason the truck still doesn't handle better then the RAM 1500. It has a tendency to understeer on acceleration. Has anyone else got a good set-up for this? its driving me insane lol

 

[esoxhntr]

understeer on corner exit (accel) - increase front damper extension and/or rear damper compression and/or rear springs.

 

[m_star01]

Sorry Esoxhntr problem i have is "turn in" due to the understeer into a corner - i brake turn and it takes ages to "bite" and turn, i have to brake a second time to bring the nose into the corner. I generally have the same problem with all tucks i race.

Is there a general trick i can do to minimise the heavy trucks understeer???
