    If you're using ECT in D
    Sounds like you have a gearlock tune. A perf tune + gearlock with ECT on at freeway speed in 6th gear will never downshift from 6th with throttle input whether you are in D or S. With ECT on, if your get your rpm down to around 1100 or less, the trans will protectively put you into 1st gear whether in D or S. Or you can switch from D to S and do the downshifts manually.

    There’s a challenge there that I see. Right now, you really have no idea what tune you’re on except by remembering what you last flashed. With ECT ‘cycling through’ them, you could forget which you’re on. With crawl control, you can at least look up and figure it out.
    Perhaps with ect, it could default back to your current tune with a power cycle?

    People here need to stop complaining about tip-in. If you're complaining about tip-in, then obviously you can't handle performance mode. Switch to base

    People here and everywhere need to worry more about themselves and less about the opinions of others

    Mat, earlier you said you were looking at activating gear lock by just flipping shifter to S-mode. Have you now determined this to be not possible?

    I have 33s and 4.88 gears and its fine but if you are looking for highway mpg then its not there. I actually improved my city mpg so it evened things out. My mpg is best in morning traffic going 50mph, get over 20, on a weekend commute going 65 with no traffic i usually end up with 17 to 18mpg.

    Your 91 performace + gear lock+soft tip on tuesday+full tip on Friday tune may interfere with limbaugh show... and get crazy at the time, hence more complains here. .

    That’s pretty good, especially if you’re lifted. The 2nd gen does 13-15 same setup
