I actually just watched a video explaining it.

I'm scared to adjust it hah, I'd hate to burn up a trans.

TV cable is on pass side of TB. Disconnect from TB and see if it is aligned with the TB connector while TB is closed.

In the FAQ/DIY section there is a service manual you can download. The TV cable adjustment procedure is section 21, page 597.

It's not adjusting the thing that stresses the transmission. The cable stretches, and stretch reduces line pressure in the transmission.

Does "od off" turn off torque management? It seems like my truck has a lot more power from stopped. I can even spin my tires a little whereas od on I couldnt. But it could have just been a coincidence
