Best mod for your tranny is this:

I am not to familiar with the bully dog programmer but when you adjusted the shift firmness something else may have adjusted with it that you could not adjust and didn't know about. Some programmers are like that out there.
Try it in stock without the programmer and see if it happens. If it still happens in stock then its something in the tranny but if it doesn't happen in stock then its the tune so change you settings back.

well heres the thing the bully dog has 3 settings stock, regular, and premium. i have mine set on premium bc i use 93 octane gas with it. but along with those settings it has other things u can adjust like the shift firmess which has 2 settings "stock and firm" and it does that when i set it on firm.... otherwise if i leave everything else the same like on the setting premium and the transmission on stock everythings fine its just when i try to change the the shifting to firm is when it acts funny

but i really would like to know how much of a difference would a gryphon with the custom tunes i would need would make in my truck????

I'm going to take a stab at this because we have the exact same truck and mods. Now there isn't anyone who can give you a definite answer because every truck is different, even right off the assembly line.

Now based on Edge base model with stock tune it says "Gains of up to 35 HP and 50 Ft Torque" and I can guarantee that is 100% true, from my experience. Now since I sent my Edge in and had it upgraded to a Gryphon and had a custom tune for 91 octane wrote I noticed a bigger difference from the already huge improvement when running Edge's stock tune.

I know not having custom tunes for our truck and running CAI with other mods actually does more damage than good based on the lean issue our trucks have.

Having not used any other tuner this is only my views but a buddy of mine who has a diesel and way to much money and time on his hands have used all 3 major tuners and ultimately went back to Gryphon because, well, he said it was faster.

Hope that helps a little.

I had custom tunes written for my truck/mods and chose the octane I use most. They have 2 performance tunes you can choose. The order form gives you each step by step ordering directions. In each section just fill in your modifications and if you haven't modified certain items then you leave them blank or simple put "stock" in that field.
