I ended up taking my Sonnax off ..... not to wild about how it shifted in to OD with the Superchips. It was kicking in to the high gears, not doing a crisp shift.

I think I may have to turn TM to "stock" during all shifts, and then at WOT keep it down at 10%.

Im undecided. I did have my modified TM at all throttle positions along with WOT at first. I then changed it to "superchips" for variable throttle but kept the "user" settings for WOT. With the superchips TM it did shift nicer, but I wasnt too happy today when I took off from a light and the truck wouldnt shift out of second gear. Ive never had that happen before, and I ended up having to pull over and shut the truck off. No codes though so it wasnt in LIMP.

Yeah ..... Id rather just have reduced TM since thats what makes a huge difference, IMO. I dont need the LPB as well.

If anyone needs a Sonnax, lmk.

I may take $6 for it .... jk.

If anything it can sit on the shelf next to my throttle body that may be coming off .... again. It started giving me a high idle today after I thought I fixed it. FML

Ok so I love the Sonnax. I think it shifts so much better. I don't have any kind of tuning though

Without tuning Im sure this thing does a nice job. With the TM removed though, its not making a desirable shift, IMO. The TM already makes the truck shift better, so the increased line pressure probably over does it.
