Transmission Failures..... I’m Seeing a Trend

[DRD]

I want to clarify what I said in this thread just so all that watch it knows...

I am not downing anyone's tuning. Matter of fact the ones who found the needed parameters for lock shifts are very talented. Heck once we have those things nailed down in Warp I'll probably run it on my truck.

The problem lies in what's best for the consumer. Locked shifts I'm sure will work fine for the educated driver. However, not everyone is educated or cares enough to know the potential impacts. It's no different in variations in engine tuning. We make our recommendations on the engine and trans side so that customers will be happy in the long run. Most folks rather not break parts and so we always advise on the side of caution.

A wise man once told me "the hotter you burn the light, the quicker it will burn out". This is a simple but profound statement that applies to modifying cars and trucks.

if someone wants to hurt a truck bad enough on a factory tune it can be done. the 68 wont take to trying to pull a tree out of the ground either ,but its up to folks to have a bit of common sense in order to not hurt it. That said it CAN be hurt with anything run a 200 HP tune while towing and trans is not happy for very long. However there are guys who do it. Blaming locked shifts would be like blaming the 200 tune for that. with the exception locked shifts are a lot safer

I've been considering a 68RFE upgrade kit but I'm having trouble locating a performance transmission shop in my area. I'm in St. Augustine, FL but Jacksonville (largest city in FL now) is only 30 miles away... anyone have a recommendation for me?

OK, I've found Suncoast Diesel transmissions , their trans look like BEASTS! And I did find one of their dealers about 30 miles away...

Suncoast makes a pretty good product but I highly recommend RevMax

Only bad thing about Revmax is they don't seem to care about customers on the phone

I’ve dealt with RevMax on some major issues and they stood by their product and always hooked me up.

This may be a dumb question but is the locked shift points the same as Rays transmission tuning that locks 4-6 th gear? Or holds the shifts longer?
