A Guide to Superchips Transmission Tuning for Your 4.7l Dakota
haha yeah my drives from cali to indiana and back might have a little bit of that road i need. plenty of cops too lol. i think i set my rev on 6100 also, and i had 1-2 going at 5800 but i did a few runs and i think it pretty much tops out at 5600 or so. but ill play around with it a little, probably down those values. my trans package just downloaded so i got some messing around to do, i might send you some messages tho when i decide to tackle the user program
No problem. Ill help any way I can.
I found reving high in first gear proves no benifit. The truck will pull just as fast in the bottom of second as it will in the top of first. Im really tempted to upgrade to solid lash adjusters from Airram, which are supposed to give more HP in the top end, but who knows if that will happen. Just mess around with it until you find something you like. Its one of the best parts of owning a tuner over a chip.
Take away some of the TM and your truck will put a smile on your face every time it shifts.

I bought the tuner and went with the SC canned tranny schedule and absolutely love the difference. How much better can you get it with a custom schedule??
You get the ablilty to tune every shift point at any throttle position. Its time consuming though so unless you have alot of time to invest, you probably wont get much out of it.
I have run the superchips shift schedule with 10-27% TM and it shifts awesome. Well worth it for me.

That would be awesome cause I would have no idea where to start. I looked at those graphs and am like wtf? Kinda like when my son shows me his AP math homework.....i'm like; thats not math....wheres the friggin + sign????
I really read up on the whole shift points, I read s#!t from Dakota guys and Ram guys, charts, spreadsheets, and I can't even remember what else. I've come to the conclusion that the SC shift points are pretty awesome! I only adjusted the rev limiter and TM. The truck really jumps into 2nd & 3rd gear, but it kinda did that already without the upgrade. That's the extent of changing anything for me. Unless you have tons of time and you have to fully understand it all, the $40 upgrade isn't worth it. Just my opinion, there's just too much involved.
