I'm still working on the trouble ticket I submitted on mine, hopefully my issues will be solved.

I'm having with the torque management settings. My WOT throttle settings do not stay at what I set them to. I can change them, save and exit, go back into it and they're different, at numbers over 100%, it's weird. They responded with something to try but it didn't help.

I also had the truck bounce off of the rev limited today instead of shifting when it was supposed to. So this was also included in my last response to them in the trouble ticket. I haven't adjusted my shift points at all from the Superchips preset settings so this was nothing on my end. So I will most likely be putting all of these settings back to stock until they have this worked out.

So it does seem there are bugs with it, and I doubt it'll be released until they are confident they have it worked out. I updated my programmer again today, and there were updates, but nothing that seemed to effect the issues I'm having.

I updated mine last night and it took an unusually long time to update, but I forgot to look at what the update included before I exited the screen. I currently have the TM tweaked on my truck. I havent run my shift schedule long term yet.

Drove mine around after installing the trans update, works great. I feel like the truck has a shift kit and a lot more power. The nose of the truck really lifts up when you step on the gas, before it felt rather unresponsive at low rpms compared to most V8 trucks. Plus it down shifts and gets going 100% faster then before. I'm very satisfied with the superchips program, well worth the $40.

I set the tq mgt to 30% on all gears and slightly raised the shift points.

I updated my programmer but Im not sure if it updated the trans program or not, I forgot to look.
I would go ahead and update yours and see if it updates the transmission tune database. You dont have to pay the $40 or anything, the tune is yours.

It looks like some are getting it. Appears to about every year except 06's and 07's.

Ron just posted on Superchip's forum that the 4.7 trans update would be a few more weeks.

Damn, and I thought there was hope for a second.
