    Sorry brother, I haven't ran a regular 2.0 in over a year.
    If you want another tune to try that does NOT do what you described, PM me.
    The ECT shifting is very easy to adjust, if that is all you want to do. Just look at the ECT PWR Shifting tables. There are downshift and upshift tables for each gear.

    I am not sure if it is a learning issue. I have reset both of the learnings several times. I have gone over 1,000 miles without, etc.
    I will pm you in a bit, Thanks.

    Was a PreRunner, now it isn't
    was this with 2.0 or prior versions. There's a lot to dig through but I am getting there.

    What are the ramifications if you don’t reset the AT and LV following a flash?

    I would NOT do it.
    I reset mine once (a year ago) and it drove like shit for 2 days. Since then I have flashed my truck 100’s of times without doing any resets. It runs good and I can immediately feel any tune changes that I have made.

    With @PapaRee 's help, guidance, and tunes, I subscribed to this philosophy too. no more dredging through the learning phase, terrible driving, with the resets. and yes, you can IMMEDIATELY feel the new flashed tunes, and assess them better, and quicker. BIG THANKS TO @PapaRee, his premium cruiser 3.6 is my current favorite. Ski

    We only ever recommended doing the resets IF you have problems right after flashing.
    doing the resets are not and have never been required

    Are there specific conditions which ACIS will activate? What do the different byte rates do? .718 vs 25660?

    i agree with Papa. As long as the tune is similar and doesn’t have drastic changes it doesn’t seem to matter much. I’ve gone through Papa’s (excellent) tunes and since they are of the same sort of base file I don’t reset values

    That's a good sight to see! First thing when you open up a tune also!


    Also there are a ton of new tables that I don't even know where to start messing with...

    I didn't see CC shift tables specifically for ECT. But maybe these tables work for ECT also or would that be too much of a perfect world? Only other different shift tables I noticed were for 4WD.

    The ones you initially took a screenshot of probably do both. I'm hoping to have different shifting for Normal/S and ECT for towing.
