    I am doing some logging and having trouble getting low RPM WOT data, so gearlock is necessary. I am not sure that what I think I need to modify is actually what is described in @OVTune post that I quoted.

    Are the "ECT PWR Shifting" tables "Downshift Schedule" the ones to modify and which are being referred to?

    Capture.jpg

    If so, then after the modification, just push ECT button and shift lever to S-mode and then its locked in the selected gear or keep shift lever in D? I assume S-mode and don't mind trying it, but having a resource for info like this saves time and risk.

    Those are the table to modify for gear lock. In S mode with ECT power on.

    We are up to 19 trucks testing and we are on lucky version 4.0.
    If the weekend testing is as good as it is on my truck, I will release the new tune very SOON!
    It has been tough keeping up with the feedback from so many testers (all years auto and manual), plus driving my truck to test. I put over 300 miles in 3 days. LOL
    The good news is that MPG's have not gotten worse, they actually have gotten better on my truck with more power!

    Kruiser is the base for the new tune, but it will have a new name.
    Testing has been constant for the past few weeks. My truck and me are TIRED! But it will be worth it.
    I will have all the tune files made for all ECU's- Auto and Manual. I will also have tune packs available with Regular octane, Premium octane, Regular throttle tip in, and Light throttle tip in.
    SOON

    As a tester of @PapaRee new tune, I can say I’ve never driven any tune with this much low end hustle. I’ve been tinkering in vF for a while and I’m no noob, I’m not an expert either. Kreg has cracked the code with this one.

    Kreg has been making custom versions for each tester as requested. My truck is a DCLB with shell, armor, 33’s, stock gears. I’m running a version with AGM, gear lock, and a lighter initial throttle that is outstanding. Beast mode engaged!!!

    As a tester also of @PapaRee newest tune, I did my initial usual 30 mile test run and the power/feel was amazing! You definitely fell the ponies between your legs now! It goes up and over hills with cruise on holding 6th gear with ease never downshifting. His tune is very ballsy with crisp shifts from 1-6, no sluggish transition. I've put about 400 miles of driving in town/highway been averaging 18-20 MPG, running 65-80 MPH. Awesome Job @PapaRee on this one, you hit it out of the park again!!

    It’s a great tune, but as a qualifier, it will not go over all the hills in the mountain west in 6th gear. Just want to manage expectations.

    I'd be curious to see how Kreg's new tune does on everyone's truck as well. I'll be a little slower on the punch to releasing a new version of mine. Have only 4 testers right now, each reporting back from longer trips an average of 20+ mpg. City numbers have been averaging across testers as 19.5 while highway is averaged at 21.

    I'm still making adjustments. Those who are making the test runs, I'll be sending you updated tunes within the week.

    @Mooseditty17 Did you get any RPM stuff figured out?

    You are correct I should clarify, driving here in Idaho we have small hills were going up and over under 75-78% loads it held the 6th gear with ease. Now the bigger ones pulling upwards of 85% + it still down shifted to 5-4 but recovered really nice back from 4-6 once you top out with cruise still on.
