There can be less parasitic loss..... Therefore gaining rwhp.....

I agree it will help put the power to the ground better, but ur not gonna gain any more power than u did before. no way. no how.

The 4r Trans won't give the truck more horsepower. Just the 4r Trans will put the horsepower down on the ground better then a 5r will. So therefore the dyno numbers will be a little different between the 5r Trans and a 4r Trans and I mean little different like 5 to 30hp on the ground at the most increase between a 4r Trans and the 5r Trans. It's so expensive to go the 4r Trans in a 6.0 that's why I wouldn't do it unless the truck is an all out drag truck or a pulling truck imo.

And the fluid is burnt already. I'm convinced tuning is wrecking my transmissions. Going gearhead.

Been telling you that since, oh idk, 2008?

Yeah yeah. May have been the reason for gaskets as well. Truck ran fine with vivians tunes for 8 months then a month after.....

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

what tuning do you have now?

 

[swinky]

what tuning do you have now?

Same as you

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

Same as you

hmm. I highly doubt that is what's killing your trans. I'll text you

If you ride in it you'd change your mind lol. It's ate 4 transmissions and is now working on a fully built, brand new one. Idk what else it could be. It's not going to hurt to try Gearhead tunes anyway though

Never said it would hurt to try different tunes. Nothing wrong with that at all

Less than 1k miles. Worse than I want my new trans to be lol

That's what warranties are for I guess! Still sucks though!
