Thanks for covering this again. The forums seem to have a ton of questions about the anteater weekly.

[@LMDiesel]

Might need to get me one!

[@Fullerperformance01]

I've got mine. Putting it in this week, can't wait to drive it.

[@LT1SWAPCOM]

I've had the Pro for a while on my truck, and have had issues with it not 2-1 downshifting with ANY throttle input. (TV is fixed, so engine speed, pump output, pressure output affecting something??) It will only 2-1 it if I completely let off the gas. (screen will say 1st gear, but will stay in second) I can adjust TV some but then I won't get 2-3 shift sometimes. Its like I can get one or the other. Also when I hook up a pressure gauge to the TV pressure port on the trans, when commanding 2nd gear, the pressure oscillates up and down a bunch (20 to 60 psi constant jumping around up/down, few times a second. This is also shown on the data logger on the anteater software. Is that normal? I can change the 2nd gear pressure, and the window will move up some, like 30 to 70, but it ALWAYS jumps around. Seems when I start out driving cold, the 2nd gear gov pressure is pretty steady, but longer drive the more it jumps around.

Nice. I’m sure one will eventually end up on my truck. You didn’t talk a lot about lockup- is it fully programmable? Say like zero throttle coasting but you want to use an exhaust brake so you want to keep the TC locked? Or locked vs unlocked shifts?

[@FirepunkDiesel]

If you look at the tuning page you can program lockup based on mph, the 48re is not a great trans to downshift in lockup due to bind up and shock load concerns

[@Bgray95]

I think I have this already from when you guys did my swap, as mentioned below in comments would it be possible to turn the factory Tow Haul button into a lockup switch?

[@HeidiFegles]

That’s funny I used a Volvo floor shifter so it’s got sequential feel

[@benfender5292]

When it comes to adjusting the lever, when u say back it off an 1/8 of an inch do u mean back it off from 100 or zero? Trying to gauge the 75-80%

[@hams1198]

prob alittle late but from 100%

[@albertopaulino7182]

Hi guys I just buy an pro version and I want to install the tap shift to a button, do you have any video that show how to do or any manual

[@demetriuspalmer2992]

Do you guys make a FMVB ratchet shifter for the 6.0 Powerstroke or not I'd love to build a manual shifted auto 6.0 but on the floor like a ratchet shifter

[@kylefitzherbert9381]

Want one so bad

[@Toxicwastesu]

I need this.

[@kellymichael7362]

How tricky is it to put one in a '93 1st gen?

[@jodygannon4939]

It looks like PNRD works in regular mode, will it function (change) while tap shifting in manual mode?

[@FirepunkDiesel]

Yes, PRND display is not effected

[@kingleonidas6796]

So does anyone thing this would work on a 2001 and run a ratchet shifter and use two buttons on the shifter for manual mode?

[@FirepunkDiesel]

Yes, we've done that before

[@joshcarter6974]

How does the anteater work in a sled pulling application? Could I leave in third and let it lock up on its own or will a 48re not like that?

[@FirepunkDiesel]

Yes, you can leave in 3rd and have the anteater command lockup at your preferred mph

[@joshcarter6974]

@@FirepunkDiesel will a 48re be short lived doing it or not? Built trans with all billet shafts obviously

[@markrich3271]

@Firepunk Diesel I heard you mention 03+ Can this be used with a 98.5 - 02 47re?

[@FirepunkDiesel]

Yes as long as you install 2000+ electronics on your vb

[@brunnettfab9592]

@@FirepunkDiesel do you have all the functions such as Manuel mode and do you need to use the flat line tunes for this trucks? Also do you need the static lever?

[@jordanmercredi3740]

I have and appendage that looks like an anteater can i have one lol

[@aconservativeusa]

.....did he say "o4&1/2" Mannnnnnn

[@JCSDieselPerformance]

Thats what it is, in 04.5 they changed the engine/transmission quite a bit

[@bigmurph1447]

be nice if u could make this work on 96-98 12v

[@FirepunkDiesel]

it does, you just need to swap 2000+ electronics on the valve body

[@bigmurph1447]

@@FirepunkDiesel ok u guys should make a shifter for the older trucks with the shifter switch on it

[@FirepunkDiesel]

When we install in house, we remove oem 2nd Gen shifter, cut and tig Weld new tap shifter on the end of it

[@peytonmorris8730]

I have an anteater I bought not too long ago from you guys shifts are all where I want but the 2-3 shift under light throttle is a bit harsh Basically slams into 3rd and also shifts a bit harsh into overdrive with light throttle but smooth under moderate to full throttle shifts smooth how do I go about fixing that thanks

[@keanekriebel7420]

I have the same problem but I think it’s because it’s direct line pressure staying the same constantly so that’s why it shifts super hard like that

[@jonathangarzon2798]

Save some money, be a man, buy a manual
