Not true...

However I personally think a lope tune is dumb.

If I want my truck to run like chit then I will break something.

i had it and its a fun novelty tune, thats all its good for, but no it will not break your crank shaft, and after idle the truck runs fine, at idle it lopes, but after you give it throttle it stops and runs just fine in the lope idle tune

as far as i know its just for sound, to make your truck sound like you have a big cam in it and smoke alittle while at idle
