Long time member and 2nd gen owner but I’ve only recently dipped into the 4th gen market. I’m looking to eventually tune and am fairly well set on ez-lynk. With that in mind though, I still have quite a few questions, some of which I’ve searched and found mixed responses so I’ll try to be as specific as possible.
It’s a 2018 with a 68 and my intentions are to do supporting mods and keep it as close to stock (minus tuning) as possible until I break something. It’s mainly a work horse and needs to be reliable. When the vgt fails I’ll probably go 464/1.0 and maybe a fleece exhaust brake.
If this has already been covered in a sticky then please ignore the post but I ask that you kindly point me in the right direction.
- How long has the relearn been for most
- If I plan to be towing a good bit should I put some weight behind the truck during the relearning period
- Obviously with higher line pressure comes a different driving style, how should I handle driving with a trailer after it’s tuned (forced manual downshifts, lugging, lock up, etc.)
- Downshifts, any issues or notable situations when tuned
- Is it best to avoid switching levels while the transmission is relearning
- Once the transmission “learns” a power level is it not defeating the purpose a little if you’re constantly changing levels
Please feel free to share anything else that any of you have found to be helpful and or necessary after tuning.
