Ok, another example of some of the BS we have to put up with on these trucks when trying to make a good tune for them.
High hp 97 with a TDE0 computer and live tuned. Has always has a bit of a rough idle that feels like an injector and has the shift flare on the 1-2 and some on the 2-3. Going back and forth between Brian and us on tunes and no matter what we try with tunes the shift flares up before shifting. Brian sent him another computer and for some reason it doesnt even start the truck, he remembers he has another wrecked 97 so he pulls computer out of it. Same TDE0 coded computer, put it and and now Idle is almost perfectly smooth and shifts are 80% better, 2-3 is fixed and 1-2 only has a slight flare before the shift.
So someone tell how a truck swapping computers, like for like on codes, makes such a huge differance. Can not tell you guys the level of frustration that comes with something like that especially when the customer thinks your a DB because his truck dont right even though there is no reason it shouldnt.
I remember years ago Steve Cole saying he got out of 7.3 tuning because he could not tune two trucks exactly the same. No matter if the trucks were the same with the same mods they would have to be tuned differntly, spending so much timne on each truck made him give up and go on to better tuning platforms. Back then everyone called him crazy for thinking that two exact trucks would need such different tunes, now I see his wisdom. This was like 7 years ago on The Diesel Stop.
