quick ?

I recently had to put my dpf back on and now I have to go to nevada...can I tune w the dpf on? How about just a trans tune? Will that mess me up with the dpf still attached?

the DPF will fill if regen is turned off, and then you will be stuck on the side of the road.

I don't know of any of the tuners that allow trans only adjustments..
never seen any doc on this, or heard others mention it.

Mine does trans only...but was wondering if the pressure of the blockage caused by the dpf not working would cause a problem...looks like I'm going to have to eat this one!

The trans only mode keeps motor stock but still kicks out the dpf

If it will not allow the DPF to regen then it is gonna fillup and cause problems.
