tuner help

Depends on who wrote the tune, really. To each his own.

I could see that. If they had it setup so it shifts down to keep rpms up and air flow up for hills.

Or, a guy could just tap a button and drop the gear then pop it back up after.

I would never personally recommend someone to tow heavy with their hot tune, especially if they use cruise.

15+ the 6.7s have enough power to wreck the trans if you really suck at driving or have crap tunes.

I guess I have a unicorn then, the hot tune has never left my truck, I also know how to gear down and drive right. But when my truck is loaded it’s well over 30k gross which is often during the spring and summer and never had any issue. Im biased but I love our tunes.

What fun is that? LOL


Mine is always in hot mode as well.. knock on wood... 260k and still shifts solid.

Often gross 30k as well..

If you’re in a 6.7, load the hot tune and rock on. It’s all in your driving habits. I personally leave my 6.7 turned all the way up and just drive accordingly. Plus it gets the best mpg on the high setting. Just need some good tunes and you’ll be fine

Same!

Have they solved all of the parking lot speed lurches and 3-4 upshift squeels? Are all of the shifts smooth or do they hit a little hard, no matter the throttle position?

 

[ncollins64]

In my experience the shifts are what the customer wants. Some want harder shifts where others want soft. Me I prefer a good firm shift. As far as the upshift squeels, I haven’t had anyone with issues
