Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1315171, member: 103"] I have files for an 02 auto, although only a couple I wrote before I realized there was no way to stop the auto PCM from surging the MFD because it was no longer hooked to the trans. For what you're wanting, you would need to dial the power on down a bit more than where I have mine. The stock trans would never see you through unless you lifted on every shift. I'm only doing this because I fully plan to swap in my BTS after I have time to freshen it up, plus there's only so much will power to [i]remove[/i] power from a truck that's so fun to drive. I've already dropped power in 2 big steps so far to try and appease the trans. If this trans lasts until I have the other one sitting on the shelf, that's a win for me. But for longevity, the power would have to be dropped some more to be used with a stock trans. Which is easy, as long as you never have to feel the truck drive [i]with[/i] that power! LOL If you had the truck driving and shifting well (I don't do stock ford trans control) and just needed refinement to the engine tuning I'm sure one of my files could give your tuner any insight they might need to get the power/smoke in the target zone, assuming they didn't already have that under control. And if it just couldn't be done, I might break my own tuning rule and just sit in the seat and tune the thing for you just to shut some of these Nancy boys up. Then if someone could just back up the engine tuning with solid trans tuning we would instantly have a VDH program for 200 nozzles on a stock truck! The only reason to change it from there would be personal preferences for idle speeds and trans shift points and such. The trans is the really tricky part. If the trans tuning would have worked at all for me with the stock ford PCM I would already have a file done, sitting here needing only minor changes for reduced power. The trans has always been a barrier between me and almost anybody who I might share a file with. I always run manual trans PCM's, and 99% of the world runs autos. It would be really hard to tune the engine without the ability to control the trans. [/QUOTE]
