2016 Ram/ bucking and chucking??

Bought this truck and had a great trip and truck very smooth with Cedar Creek fifth.
But after an EFI Live tune that included trany tune and pulling trailer now is very uncomfortable. Previously pulled full time in tow/haul. Not now. Won't shift to 6th till close to 80 mph even with foot off going down hill.
But the worst is the constant bucking/ chucking. This it did not do prior to tran tune.

The selling feature for the tran tune is it will now "lock up" in 2nd.
The 06 I had before the trany would heat up when pulling at slow speeds.

  • Here, here! 80 mph towing is foolish!

    P.S. If it’s working well, tune it?

    If your first trip was good, why mess with the computers?

    X2... Get your foot out of it
  • Who did you get your tune through? And have you sent them your first data log yet?

    If you deleted, did you disconnect the throttle valve?
