As stated in Title! Does the 11-12 require a tune when you install the Aluminum DS on an already tuned 5.0? I didn't find a thread that referenced this specifically.
Aluminum Drive shaft require tune Auto?

No, but if you change the muffler bearings at the same time, which you should, then yes.
Well I aske dthe question because I was told by several people that I didn't however, I have it installed and on the 2-1 downshift it tends to shift down hard and clunk a bit. Its a decent jolt so I know its not good for the tranny. So since I have experienced this, it definitely begs the question of what has changed and why it does it? The tuning would be my first thought due to the easy install of the DS. If you can tune shift points, can you not fix this issue with tuning! No flame suit for me, I asked to learn. You guys realize that its ok not to know everything right?
HA HA! Very funny Allen!
are you lowered?
Yes, on eibach sportlines. And with that question you just helped me diagnose the issue most likely. I installed the DS on a lift and never got to check pinion angle due to recent rain and a family trip (not in the car). So now I think I know the culprit!
Which aluminum ds do you have? Some like the DSS do not require pinion angle changes.
I have the Shaftmasters.
I saw your new times...ridiculous! You've got that thing moving! (11.24 @120MPH)
No tune required , but due to less rotational mass and faster acceleration you should go with a stiffer piston return spring
The LOL's keep coming!:thumbsup:
Laugh all you want but when I put my DS in shortly after I blew my #8. I think it's because it enables you to rev much faster with less weight and it catches the global timing off guard... Them say goodbye #8. Make sure your tuner lowers your timing or just lower it -2 on the sct yourself. Consider yourself warned.
