OK got, thanks.
Looking forward to your finished product.
will you have a brief desciption of the shifts with it?
I'm looking for a slightly more aggressive than stock pattern, and especially a quicker downshift from overdrive to fourth under light pedal(on hills at 55-60 mph)

I will gladly do that for you, herkguy. I want to get the ball moving on this for everyone so we can start sharing schedules. Ill be posting another part of the webpage tonight that will show you what parts of the stock schedule you want to correct, and how to do so.

If anyone would like, take the blank schedule spreadsheet found on my website and fill in ALL of YOUR TP%s and stock shift points. (You will need the trans program to find these) I can then start putting together some starter schedules for different years for you guys to tweak them to your liking. Dont worry about the graphs if they dont work right as I can fix those. If you would be kind enough to do this, PM me for my email address and send the attached spreadsheet including:
Year - (05/06/07)
Model - (Quad/Club Cab)
Engine - (4.7l Non HO/4.7l HO)
Diff Gearing and Drivetrain - (3.55/3.92 and 4x4/4x2)
The reasoning for all the details is the TP%s and shift points may very depending on those things. Thanks guys.

You cant change the TP%'s, they are default values.

UGGGGG...I wanted to make it more customized for some of the shifts, that makes it a bit more difficult. Good to know though because I was trying everything to access the TP% schedule..lol

I have an aggressive schedule put together, just waiting to test it out now before I post it up. Sorry about the delay, I went mudding and had some other issues I needed to take care of.

The tune is safe IF you use the excel charts. Stay away from crossing lines and stacking shifts. Worst case senario, if you avoid crossing lines (the tuner wont allow you to stack shifts) your truck just wont upshift/downshift in a desireable spot. Nothing will get ruined, you will just need to retune.

I recommend reading everything on that webpage in the first post. Then, take the tuner and a notebook out to your truck, and record all of the TP% values and stock MPH shift points. Put all that in to the blank spreadsheet provided on the link on that website, and then try and straighten those lines out by changing the MPH values.

Youve paid the $40 for the upgrade and the tuner was updated after? If you still arent seeing it, youll have to call SC tech support for that as that sounds like an error in the system, not user error.
