I'm picking up a 2016-2017 cummins soon, I'm ditching my 17 Rebel. It'll be deleted ASAP, I'm pretty sold on the 5" Flo-pro with a muffler with either EFI Live or the MM3 tunes. The Aisin trans is only available on the 3500's I believe? Can they both "safely" handle a 100hp tune? I had an 06 LBZ in the past and 100hp was the general rule of playing it safe as long as you don't go crazy with it. I'd assume these trans are a LOT stronger considering they make 900tq stock...

I plan on running a 60ish hp tune until I throw some head studs into it.

What tunes and what power level are you daily driving? Any problems?

I run motor ops tunes and stay on the stock refined tune which is usually the first one. I am pretty mellow with my rig and don’t Daly drive it so as far as I can tell as long as your not giving it the beans on every acceleration you shouldn’t have have tranny or stud issues. I also have the trans running which could possibly help.

1 custom 40hp tow tune. Don't need anything else. Not a hill I can't maintain the speed limit +20 towing 8000+lbs. I want everything to last like my 97. These autos have adaptive learning and don't like to be switched up and down with power level changes and a quick heavy foot.
If you want reliable and a 100+ tune. Tape a raw egg to your skinny pedal.

60 or 100hp depending on if I have something behind it.

Ive got a G56 so I can switch as much as I want and it handles the 100hp just fine.

As a general rule you dont need studs on stock fuel and air with a good tune, even if its 150hp

I run an MM3 with a bunch of tunes from Double R Diesel. I normally run 120hp tune around town for the most part and on long hauls 90hp tune with stock head studs...haven't run into any issues yet. I have ARP head studs...once I throw those in I'll give the 160/200hp tunes a try.

I run 90+ HP for DD, w/ no studs and no transmission problems.

20,000+ miles, on my tunes, and counting.

I have an MM3 with tunes from Ray @ Double R Diesel. I've put about 25k miles on the truck in the last year and a half since buying it. With the new switch tunes, I leave it on the +120 tune. It gives the truck the response I like. I'm on the factory head bolts, injectors and turbo. I never hot rod the truck before it's 200* operating temp. I've tried the +150 and +200 tunes for funsies. The +120 tune is great for everyday use imo. Above +120 and you're taking unneeded risk with the factory head bolts.

If the tuning is written well, no you’re not risking head bolts at all. I ran ~570whp with an s480 with stock bolts, and ~500whp with the stock turbo before that.
