    Nope. Trial and error. Glad you like it. Make little adjustments on one maybe two things at a time and see if it's what you're looking for. If not, keep on making adjustments until it's tailored to your needs.

    So it looks like for the autos the TC locks up in 6th as soon as you're above 53 MPH no matter what and it will never unlock until you're at least below 51. Considering chaning this so that the TC is able to unlock under 70. Anyone see any long term harm to the tranny in doing this?

    I’ve moved all my TC points up. I don’t see any issues other than maybe heating up your trans fluid. My temps have been fine though. Can’t speak to 6th in particular, my min shift up to 6th is at 72mph.

    Finally got through making a new tune for my dump tubes... failed. Truck won’t start. About to jump it off and hope it’s a damn voltage issue....

    I don’t want to have to open a ticket, but all I did was create a file with the values for dumps set to zero and now I’m stuck.. can’t even go back stock

    try this >
    shut truck off. unplug battery, wait 5 - 10 mins.
    then try to flash, click "flash it" and select the file
    do NOT press identify.

    Is there any benefit to making these linear? starting at the lowest value staying the same and making the highest value 100 and Ctrl I the whole field? Or is changing them all to 100 really the least limiting and overall best case scenario?

    I’ve been through something similar a year or so back. But I had a dongle and PCM flash. It took several attempts but it worked.

    this is something different.

    It's a damn good start, but you'll have to play with the fine tuning for your style of driving and particular vehicle set up. Hope you enjoy! Do small adjustments at a time when fine tuning. If it seems it's ALMOST there... let the truck run with it for a bit, it may fix itself, if not, adjust and run some more. I'm still FINE tuning to my likes, for my truck. Damn though, I honestly fell in love with the ol girl all over again!

    So this does not act like the throttle limit 1 through 6 tables correct? It just gives the throttle the ability to open all the way... It's not like a pedal commander turned to 50 out of 10 right? You found setting all the values to 100 successful? Do you see any benefit to setting the final value to 100 and Control I the whole field? Will I reap the same benefits being a slush box?
