guess i'm gonna need this tune as wellcan't have you running out in front LOL
hahahha im just guessing from the smoke and the boost, and the instant failure buddy. i would advise you to let me pioneer this tune with our setup before you go putting your big boy pants on.
p.s. at 400lbs heavier than you...i wouldnt worry about my fatass being out in front of you.

Was the 3-5 shift much different than before, or just the amt of boost and extra power made it snap? You think there is much difference for us big boys with injectors and other goodies? :ford:

I wouldn't be scared to update your tuners just because mike broke a shaft I'm sure his trans has had alot of abuse and was about time to crap out
Me and mike corsilli been running the tune for for 2 weeks now

You need to let it learn Mikey. Your trans lasted for years before you changed tunes and beat the snot out of it.
The trans tunes haven't changed at all, other than the addition of a new delayed lockup program in the list of choices, which has slightly softer shifting for the daily driver trucks. It works great on the big turbo trucks too, which was the main purpose of the program. I drive it daily though.

I think we just need to limit Mike to a Briggs and Stratton motor ( 5 hp ), a hair dryer ( not commercial use one either ) for boost, and a soap box derby car. You break all your toys before christmas day is over!!!

Lol Eric- trans is apart and it broke the forward drum. Haven't heard of that one yet. I wonder if binding caused it?

doubt its an issue dustin. i just dropped the hammer at the wrong time i guess. input shaft is perfect, all shafts are perfect. im just suprised that went of all things, as i hadnt heard of anyone breaking that yet.
well at least you can just order a stock one from the dealer and have the shop drop it in with no major repairs to go with.
Sounds like i might have to change my relearn proceedure, but i do like mike does, load tune... hammer down

yeah but the clutches are all pretty waxed.... gotta fix that too, and i may change the converter out cuz theres prolly some trash in there.
Not a bad idea, might be a good time to go to the heavy duty suncoast converter, im thinking i need to do the same

I know the cryo process didn't seem to help your intermediate shaft issue, but we have been cryoing front drums and sun shells for John Wood in his 4R100 builds. Can't hurt I guess.

It's getting the hd convector that's the issue. Pretty backed up I heard from Aaron today.

That is a strange one to break, I haven't heard of it either. I am pretty sure there are no updates for it. Time to build it better!
