Default Well the procharger claimed its first 6l80e trans....

In 2000 short miles since my procharger install the 6l80e is dead. It slips to the limiter between the 2-3 shift at half throttle and if held in third it slips at wot. I thought I would get more than 14k miles out of the damn thing. FML

That sucks. I thought they would have handled the power a lot better. Makes me a little apprehensive about going the FI route. Good luck with it

Damn. I'll be keeping an ear to the ground. There's more than a handful of FI applications in the wild now.

I'd be willing to bet it has more to do with the trans tune than the pro charger. there's 6L80 trucks out there making a LOT more power than you with stock trans goin strong.

Thats my thinking too... the 6L80e's are strong but very finicky to tune.
