Hey Silver, when you received your pcm, did it come with a spec sheet?

A bit late, but just to answer your question, my TC locks up after shifting into 3rd (99% sure about this).

I can't recall if the stock PCM locks the TC either in 1-3. Anyone know off hand?

If memory isn't playing tricks on me
I think one model year Dodge did change the programming
and locked the TCC more often...but then got a lot of customer complaints that the shifts were 'too often and too harsh'. This might have been model year 1998.

With the TC locking in 3rd I had to push on the gas harder to get the truck to accelerate. Without the TC lockup in 3rd the truck accelerates easier and I push on the gas less so I haven't noticed any reduction in gas milage.

Can you explain how the TC lock up hurts acceleration? Is it just because it decrease RPMs a little bit and therefore puts you further away from the power band? If thats the case I also have noticed it, I wasn't sure if the truck was just playing tricks on me or not but I have noticed that when it shifts into 3rd, and I know the TC lock up is coming, the truck does seem to slow down.

Silver, is it easy to remove the PCM from the firewall? Turns out I've got a jet plug in mine that I want to remove to see if it will affect my pinging. Ash I believe it was sent me the website from jet explaining how to do it but just curious. It doesn't affect any computer information right? Like the odometer, etc.
