I should have clairified this.
Btw..It sounds like the pump exploded to me but that remains to be seen.
I agree with ya. The Level 2 should be all he will need.

charlie has a LVL 2 himself. I'm sure the tune is fine. sometimes **** just happens. working where i do, i've seen transmissions break on 3,000 mile old 4 cylinders. I haven't seen a thread yet where frank hasnt made things right. you're in good hands.

If I had to guess you either broke the pump, planet or an output shaft. You could pull a cooler line and fire it up to see if in fact the pump is broke. Either wa the damage might be obvious when you pull it apart. Good luck.Vince

If someone comes top me for a tune that has a performabuilt,flt or a few others,line pressure is always returned to factory and shift adaptive learning is disabled as it should be,this is just a few things done.

I can assure you the tuning is not the case.it is pretty simple to know how to tune for a tranny,done many many of them.
