Transfer case torque limit

My tuner just noticed that I was hitting my transfer case torque limit and I'm wondering how I could try to get rid of that, I have brand new tires and fresh trans fluid change and my 2010 sho only has 15k miles, do you think it would be the ptu and rdu fluid needing to be changed, I'm just very confused it's been 6 weeks tuned and I'm still only on revision three I'm really looking for some help

Have not heard of a transfer case torque  limit, but clean fluid is a great start to finding out.  Recommend Redline Lightweight Shockproof or Amsoil Severe Gear.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Tuner just needs to raise the limits.

This is 100% in the tune... are you getting Torque Source 15? Who is tuning your SHO?

I got the same comment for my 2010 before. Only one tuner says that - that i have heard. I will probably get flamed for saying this of course (sorry in advance) but its just like the other tuners get hammered about concern on fuel pressures. Its definitely able to be raised in the tune. Just know that whatever adjustment they make on the torque limits can potentially damage parts in the future.

Sorry for anyone who disagrees. No disrespect.

are you getting Torque Source 15 on launch or Torque Source 18 on shifts?

18 is remedited by raising the torque limits and will not affect the throttle closure to mitigate boost spikes.

15 I would recommend learning out to launch at a lower rpm to prevent, as it's really there to prevent the shock on launch. It doesn't seem to affect overall performance just throttles torque until the tires are moving.
