As expected, huge difference to me. I don't find myself cussing at the truck shifting or not shifting. I drove thru some mountains today, some normal traffic and some highway mixed with two lane yesterday and today.

Feels like the torque is finally being utilized now. Shift pattern is similar to stock, Keeps you in high gear under low load situations, firm smooth shifts but not hard, i could stand them to be a little firmer, torque convertor is quicker to lockup in the lower gears, Im not sure but i believe lockup in 3rd and maybe second? i will pay more attention. Before, during normal driving I only noticed lockup late in 4th gear, even pulling a hill accelerating, which was extremely frustrating. Also there used to be an annoying lag, say coming down a hilll with exhaust brake on at ~40 mph, start back into it with minimal throttle and she would just hang there at 2500 rpm and i would be cussing shift you @!#$%. That seems to be improved.

Overall, crisp firm shifts, more efficient shift pattern and more tq convertor lockup. I will confirm if there is lockup in 2nd or 3rd now in normal driving.

Feel a little better putting some power thru her now

I was waiting for this to purchase tunes and D.Elete for the new truck. I know patriot was out there but I just had a bad feeling about them. I hope my bad feeling was wrong for all the guys they went that route, and that patriot tunes doesn’t cause problems. I just wanted to go the ez link route. And a damn sure hope I wasn’t wrong for that.��

hit me up if i can help !

I kid..........I'm looking forward to seeing results. Gives all of us more options.

9 million. That must be one big Turbo.

PPEI. GDP. Tyrant. Dark Horse. SPE. There's quite a few.

I haven’t found a programmer that will allow me to adjust speedo for my 40” Tires. Forescan limits adjustment at 35” or so. Will this be a problem with the computer and the TCM tuning?
The computer thinks the truck still has the factory wheel and tire setup. I’m wondering how that effects converter lockup, shift points etc.
