Default Well I just tuned my truck with my SCT Tuner

It definately has a little more jump to it but not any huge difference. I did notice a rattling type sound when getting on it after tuning, dont know if thats the "pinging" I hear about or what

Probably pinging. Sound like marbles in a can? Any supporting mods?

That's gotta be a let down. People say a lot of good things about the SCT. I intended to get one myself, but my tranny had other ideas of where I should spend my money.

And by tranny, I mean transmission. I'm not from california or anything.

Just to clarify

Did you get the SCT from hemifever? If so, I would contact Sean and see what he says. I'll bet he knows what needs to be done.
