Installed it on my last MH with a five speed. Got rid of the excessive down shifting going over overpasses. Shifts smoother out of first gear no high rpms. Had a problem with the initial install got a ram error. Emailed 5star over the weekend and got an update program on Monday with no problems after that. Traded up to a 2017 31UL with a six speed. From what I have read there is less benefit with a six speed

I think I would have to agree, less benefits with a six speed. I'm still not convinced the tune is correct. The tranny stays in third gear for a long time before shifting to fourth under acceleration.

Coming through sw Georgia today and it downshifts at the slightest hint of an incline. Several times it downshifted to third gear and ran at 4200 rpm for what I consider not much of an incline. The tune doesn't seem to be using the torque at 3200 rpm in fourth, fifth and sixth.
