Tuning or trans??

Went n played lastnight with some guys. On both runs my trans seemed like it went from 2nd to 4th back to 3rd then on to 4th. It's never done this before. Trans is built by Black Widow Diesel,got a list of parts they installed. Could the trans be going bad after 4 years already? Never did try with the OD off. What do you guys think? It was a full suncoast rebuild with a pro lock kit.

Looking at the bill, looks like it was rebuilt at 208K. so it could probably be going south.

It could be in the tuning. Were you kind of feathering the pedal, or did you have it mashed to the floor?

How many miles on the tranny rebuild and how long have you had the chip in?

Then I would doubt it is the tuning since the chip has been istalled for a while and the symptoms just started. But you could always remove the chip and see if the symptoms stop.
