Tranny trouble????

As of late I have noticed the truck having trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd. This last week it has gotten to the point that the truck lost power spit and sputtered before it finnally shifted. This only happens on a full load like heavy towing or WOT. I'm thinking it might be my EDGE tuner being bad...I don't know. Worst of all my warentee is up in 45.3 miles. Tomorrow I have to drive 100+ miles to race moto at two differnt tracks.


Ideas?

My Truck is having tranny problems too.. & im 100% sure that it is the edge tuner. which might be the same problem with your truck..

Everyone says SCT w/custom tune is the best.. you should return your truck back to stock, & sell that edge chip and buy SCT.. thats what imma do..

People say they notice a difference in SCT because EDGE chips are having major problems with trucks..

That's what my truck was doing, and then it started having problems without a load. Then, I was driving around 55mph, and it was like someone put it in neutral. Absolutely nothing. Ford gave me a new xmsn. I've been the unluckiest person on this board with a new engine and a new xmsn in a 2008.

Careful...
