[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1463410, member: 31322"] 5 star must be a ****** tune then, or more specifically, they don’t tune the tranny well. Even without a power increase, I’d still opt for my Gearhead tune simply for the vastly improved shifting feel & driveability. I think a GH trans tune REDUCES wear & tear over the stock trans tune, @ least when it comes to my personal driving habits. I get no more clunks or harsh banging shifts. I no longer immediately put the truck in Sport mode & 4A every time I get in it like I did when stock. if you didn’t want more power then why did you try a tune to begin with? I’m not trying to bust balls here- I’m legit mystified how anyone who has experienced the difference in overall driving feel between stock & a solid engine/Trans tune could possibly prefer the stock setup over aftermarket tune. The only conclusion I can come to is 5Star sucks I suppose. FWIW In the diesel world there are guys who get a trans tune ONLY from gearhead. This is seriously the first instance I’ve seen in all the time I’ve spent researching this platform Where anyone has stated what you’re telling us. On the other hand I’ve seen countless posts where people are like, “so, I went back to stock tune for first time in like a year to bring truck in for warranty repairs, DAMN I forgot how much the stock tune/programming SUCKS” or something of that nature. So- my conclusion would be- take 5 Star off the list of preferred tuners I suppose lol [/QUOTE]
