Find a local tuner.
actually I liked mine. wait4me tunes are GREAT for a basically stock truck but if you do anything like a cam then don't go with them

I've run 0% torque management for 25k miles. Half of that being with an intake and exhaust and the other half with a 224/224 cam. No slipping yet and I have 109K.

I just got a nice package from Oregon Performance Transmissions today though.

you should be alright I guess... but the tune itself would be better overall if you went with someone else all together... W4M is ADEQUATE with minor mods, but more competent tuners can tune it for the way it is, and go back later, and update it as you mod. and you tune will grow with the truck's mod list... I've been around and around with W4M, I just dont like the company all together.

YEP wait4me tune lost their quality(however much they had) when they started getting huge.

The exact same thing happened to Nelson. His quality seemed to go out the door. He used to post on here pretty often but now the only reason he comes on here is to defend himself(which he has been doing a lot of lately).

Wheatley and JustinSS are the two guys I'd even consider sending my money to now and I hope neither one of them ends up falling into the boat Nelson and Wait4me did.

Sounds like someone got some tranny goodies. What did you get, transgo, vette servo?

Oh, and BTW, i had W4M as well, didn't care for it once i got into more mods, doing it yourself is way better

yup. No reason why it shouldn't I've replaced about everything I can think of the could break. I would have went with a flt level 5 but for what I wanted it would have cost me $3000. I'll have less than $1500 into this one when I'm done.
