Sometimes the updater doesnt automatically "update" itself. Your best bet is to uninstall the program from your computer, and download the newest version off of superchips.com. Try that and let us know if it works. Otherwise you'll have to call their tech support.

If you reduce torque managment, it will shift firmer.
If you do a custom schedule, you can make it shift at any point at any throttle position. For example, while cruising at a set speed with a stock shift schedule, in order for the truck to downshift you will have to give it x% of throttle. If the requiered TP% in order to downshift is high, this wastes gas and makes the truck less responsive.
In a custom schedule, you can make the downshifts happen with giving less throttle therefore saving fuel and being much more responsive when you hit the gas. In all honesty, this is as close to a manual transmission as you can get if you have an automatic. You can make the tranny shift at any time and its all custom, so you make it to your preferences. It takes a lot of time, but now that I have the transmission tune I have a hard time not driving with a smile on my face.
You can also make it hold in a gear longer than normal, or shift up sooner. And it is all determined by the TP%.

i called and they said if it doesnt show up that my truck isnt supported yet? he said there is a bunch of different programs written for the same years of trucks, so i have to just wait? sounds like bs but i guess im stuck.....
