No I did not. Need to though. I had a family death and then had my new Autometer instrument cluster, Gaugeworks Steering Pod, and Transmission Temp gauge installed. Got everything but the plumbing for the Trans gauge done.

Something looks wrong above. How do you spell "Gauge"?

One thing that did worry them was the shifting. I had noticed that it was quite a bit firmer before without towing, but they said it was snapping their heads with the car behind them. Also they said they thought they heard a small squeal each time from the trans. Should I be worried?

Steve
I tow often with mine, about a 6K lb load. The shifts are fine. The only time my shifts are neck-snapping firm is when I mash the gas and let it shift at 5K rpm. If they are doing that when they tow, they need to learn to drive.

I have seen some of your other posts - running crappy 87 octane - can't get your Outlaw intake installed correctly - maybe you have other issues that are not related to the tuner?

Nope. Its called modding these newer cars. I have had bad luck with them. Everyone praises OMG this truck is so much faster, OMG this truck SOUNDS so much better. They are full of crap and i'm tired of reading pointless posts regarding it. And since when is it appropriate to run 93 octane in a truck that came standard with 230 hp? HAHA. You guys waste so much money on these trucks, just leave them alone and use them for what they were designed for. If it was a Lightning it would be a different story, but c'mon.

Running 93 on a stock truck is pointless. It is appropriate to run 93 when you have a custom tune designed for it. I do use mine as it was intended - hauling and towing. The Edge gave me a nice power gain when using my truck as intended.
