[QUOTE="BAJASVT, post: 630680, member: 7663"] I'm not against tuners, but they adjust your transmission shift points and pressures and can definitely cause premature wear. Under normal driving the difference between a stock truck and a tuned truck is negligible, but those hard WOT tuner shifts are not a good thing for the life of the transmission... just don't do it every day and in my opinion the benefits of the tuner outweigh their disadvantages. What perch adjustment are you on and how long have you been there?[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] I would assume so based on his description of when it happened. Heat is the #1 killer of a transmission, but that usually wears at the clutches and causes slipping. His problem sounds sudden which leads me to believe that possibly a single part just gave out. This does not work in the favor of not blaming the tuner. OP - Just out of curiosity, how did the dealer find out you had a tuner on the truck? [/QUOTE]
