Kent, you might want to take a neck brace with you after you tune the TM.

That shifting might bring out your true age Jk buddy!

even when i do get the trans tuning....i'll never be able to figure out what to set it at...from what i've been reading, just reducing (or is it increasing?) torque management makes a world of difference in shifting, and how it takes off from a stop....just dont know it its one setting for all gears or set up differently for each gear...

TM wont really do anything from a stop. You are simply increasing the amount of torque that is applied to the transmission during a shift. In all honesty, start out by setting all values to around 10%. If its a little too firm for your liking during normal driving, you can start upping the percents a little.

The only thing that sucks is to change values you have to go through the whole retune procedure.

I feel your pain ol' man, well not the body pains and stiffness, anyways... I always feel when I read some of there forum threads that they push off the issues as user error...

Speaking of Trans Tuning... yesterday when I was using my tuner to tune, I noticed something... I have shift options? Is this standard with one of the updates without upgrading? Because I havent upgraded and I dont remember ever upgrading, and I dont believe the wife totally understands the tuner besides it hooks into the truck and makes me smile and the truck purr!

I thought the truck was for your midlife crisis though?

We all know mine is for my 1/4 life crisis ....
