Dropped my truck off for the issue of it slamming into gear (in reverse) and a check engine light, and a stupid recall I've been meaning to bring it on for.

I specifically told this jackass DO NOT DO ANYTHING to the PCM since I had a custom tune.

Tells me, well the driveshaft isn't covered under warranty, you're at 4 years and 32,000 miles. This is a friend of my family mind you. I'm thinking hold up there jerky, the driveshaft is part of the drivetrain, which is part of the powertrain, or am I wrong? He then states "I'll see what I can do for you" oh what a guy.

Calls me today, can't find the issue, now there's a big surprise. I can get it to do it just about when I want. He told me the driveshaft was inspected, taken apart/removed and everything looked PERFECT, which is good because when this thing slams into gear I swear it sounds like I broke something or ran over a smart car. I'm sure it's still there, next time it happens I'm driving straight there and taking my buddy for a lil' test drive.

Check engine light was taken care of, was just a faulty solenoid, but what pissed me off and prompted me to make this thread was, when he told me he updated my PCM. WHAT? :fume: You DUMBASS. Fack, now the tune is probably gone and the truck will drive like sh*t.

I guess this is one of the issues you encounter when you bring a modified truck to the stealership. I did have to go back to have the place that did my tune originally finally fix the ABS/Brake lights lighting up on my dash due to the tires size/gear ratio. I assume the truck without the tune will drive like garbage? Right, or will it just be a dog now? :dunno:

I know before the tune and 35" tires the truck drove totally erratically, not to mention the speedo was like 40 mph off.

Yeah I bet your tune is gone now. That sucks. Douche-nuggets at the stealership. Where did you get the tune done?

East Coast Supercharging, and they're 90 minutes from me.

I had to go back like I said cause they claimed they finally figured out how to fix the christmas tree lighting up 1 mile after driving, the problem best day for me to go is Saturdays, but they race on Saturdays. :(

Hope the truck doesn't limp home that bad from the Stealership, and worse that, that, driving 90 minutes out to get the tune again.

That sucks man... I have always been told to return the truck back to stock before taking it to dealership... Did you not have tune saved anywhere?
