Getting ready to put a F/S thread for a CNT quad tipped exhaust, still new in box, never opened. Also might post my car- 08 5eat ~61k

one day dave... i'll get to you one day..

Dave is gonna get rich as **** when he rolls out the 08-09 vb.

Lol thanks I keep forgetting its not just pa.

Where in pa? Any dents ? Tpms sensors?

Thats good to know. I will be one of those very annoying customers who ask millions of questions. I've already started annoying Dave and he's been nothing but helpful. As soon as I can figure out my transmission issues I can repay him by supporting his business!

Yea I'm going to. Didnt know if overboosting could possibly be causing my problem though. just saw the lower waste gate maps on COBB.

sorry for blowing this thread up, but could I be overboosting?

ive noticed an electronic sort of sound when i'm stopped and shift through the gears to check my trans fluid. sounds like a pump or maybe the gears moving? not sure what it is, or if its normal, or if its something that could be causing my issue. dont want to jump to stage 2 till i get this fixed. might unflash from stage 1 and see if it can be reproduced.. then take it to the dealer. I still have a warranty (thank god) but if i cant reproduce it while stock im pretty much out of luck. btw thank you guys for your help.

No idea about 2.5is but think I read earlier in this thread that they dont. Good news for me the second dealer came through! Fixed under warranty but I have 100 deductible for it so I paid 80$ more and wasted a lot more time than doing it myself, but found a better dealer out of it and i didnt break anything. I printed the first page of this thread and gave it to them. Told them about the first dealer too which probably helped. They didnt give me shit or try to blame my hogzaust and lwcp for the problem either. Glad its overwith and no problems with it since.

Am i correct in assuming Peak boost gets limited when 'hanging' in the middle of the gear?

Bmb i cant decide if I want one or upgrade my tmic.

Just heard about being able to reset the tcu via ssm software or something. Wonder if that would help. Ill just keep trying to reproduce it consistently.

So I flashed back to stock, couldnt reproduce the 2-3 slip. Reflashed to stage 1 and slipping. Next ill see if its only in manual mode or regular drive....any thoughts anyone?

I thought the TCU was constantly 'learning'? Maybe im thinking of something else. I have 100% fresh fluid and correct amount. Dont have a temp gague though. Slipped again on the way home about after 20 mins of driving so I assume it was up to temp. Held it in 2nd around 40mph then floored it and let it shift itself (manual mode). Might reflash to stock and see if it still happens.

I'm sure 100% of the users in this thread would disagree with that statement. I checked my fluid last night and it is spot-on . I was really kind of wondering if it could be the tune (maybe my TCU is still learning) or if its because of limited or partial boost from the acceleration pattern (i.e. holding 2nd mid-gear at 40mph as opposed to accelerating straight through) I'm feeling pretty decent after no slips today. I'll keep trying.

Sorry Dave, I imagine you get tons of messages as you are the Wizard of the 5EATS. I actually tried to recreate the issue again today but couldnt. wasnt on an onramp holding at 40mph- straight acceleration and didnt seem to slip

Alright Dave, still having some slipping issues with my trans after doing my flush. Not sure if its tune related or what. Getting on an onramp in 2nd (cruising at 40mph then flooring to merge) very delayed shift from 2-3(manual mode didnt upshift let the car do it). Didnt bang or clunk into gear like before just didnt seem to catch when it shouldve. Recently reflashed to my cobb stage 1 93 map. Tryed to repeat in normal drive mode and didnt seem to slip. Any thoughts?

Im going stage II this spring so ive been poking around the diffrrent tuning options. Dave do you have much experience working with 5eats?

Im attempting to take mine to another dealer on monday. Making sure it gets done this time. Bringing all my ammo. Looked up the old part (14035aa491) on trademotion.com and it says the part was superceded by 14035aa492. Actually called them to find out when it happened but they only knew that the price for the old part was last updated in their system november 2011

Spotted beautiful 4th gen dgm getting on 17n in lodi. Lowered black rims tint quad exhaust mudflaps. I was the ass in the orange vest at the onramp

Spotted a sick 4th gen getring on 17n this morning in lodi. I was the ass stopped on the onramp in an suv

Well i guess i will post my dealership horror-story about this. Been having this issue all winter. CEL came on twice so far because of it- running lean and misfires in all 4. Got sick of it one day and took it to the dealer. Because it had already warmed up, the issue was not there when they looked at it. told them i would drop it off overnight so they could recreate it. before i left i told them it could be the gaskets, and showed one of the mechanics (who i know) this thread, and he read it. I told them these were the exact symptoms i was experiencing, and they could decide whether or not the gaskets were at fault. The mechanic mentioned a way to check if the gaskets were to blame, and i left with the impression they would look at them. they looked it up and noted it would be covered by my warranty (and grunted about it), but nevertheless acknowledged the issue. Felt good about everything after dropping my car off. Got the call the next day. They tried to blame the issue on my LWCP and hogzaust. They wanted me to change everything back to stock before they went any further with diagnostics. After leaving there furious- went to the parts department to get the gaskets, but of course they had none. Going to call another dealership and see if i get any luck there, if not, I'll be DIMyself.

May have found and alternate fix for this.... my cars in limp mode and now it doesnt seem to idle rough anymore... haha
