diesel engine turners

Help!!! I have an 02 F350 7.3 auto. I bought a Diablo tuner and have liked it for the most part. I have recently experienced a tranny problem. The tranny slips in the different programs but not in the stock program. I guess it's nothing more then a $300.00 paper weight.

Doesn't that suggest that the extra torque the programmer adds is the problem rather than the programmer itself. Horsepower mods always identify the weakest link in the drivetrain.

The trans slips when I punch it. It goes into gear and slips out for a moment and then goes into gear for the duration. If the drivetrain is the weak link how can I change that? As indicated before, the tuner is just a paper weight now.

what he said.

since putting on the superchips, I have now replaced all the seals in the rear diff. They should have been done long ago.
