Thumbs up Got BTS Tunes update

got my BTS chip put on to day. first they blow the super chip out of the water.
have only driven it on 15 miles but it fills good and strong.
even in 100DD there is only a small amount of smoke then it clears up.
just to be safe i tinned the pins on the pcm and it fits tight.

just one question in 100 DD if i get on it hard it shifts loud from 3 to 4 is this normal? it dose not ****** the truck but is way louder then any other tune, i just dont wont to kill my trans. Brain is working and i dont want to call him away if this is fine.

thanks to all the pointed me to BTS.
Matt

If your trans is stock, they dial the presure up so that there is little clutchplay, you should be fine.

Keep us informed on this, and welcome to the perma grin!!!

i got the chip used for $120 then it was $50 for the burn + shipping. most of the time he charges 75 but it took him 2 months to get it back so he did not charge the full price. so 200 are there about and most of it i will get out of my SP 1705 when i sell it on ebay.

One thing about those tunes is they are created for at least a BTS valve body, they are definitely quick and firm!

Just clean the contacts off and use a soldering iron to heat the contact enough to melt a little bit of 60/40 rosin core solder on each contact being aware if you over do it you can destroy the board...

I just ordered BTS tunes! They have all the bells and whistles, cheaper. I'm not cheap, I'm poor..my wife just started $19k of dental work and it's killin' me. I need to get a J O B, I guess. And I thought I was retired from all that crap! Oh well, I really like red beans and rice...
