0% means the motor drives through the shift.

Where Mark has his set at 10% is a good starting point. I've run Zero TM and the truck does drive through the shift.

SC won't give out any of their internal tuning settings. Proprietary information.

I like the sound of the motor driving through the shift.

Trashing it would be a good excuse to throw a new TC in there during the rebuild

Well I am betting my money that it isn't going to blow the trans anyway. And if it does, I got another Hemi powered vehicle in the garage to use while it gets fixed

I cant put my finger on it but I know I upgraded to the 3865 some time back and havent had any issues. But then last week I upgraded the software and retuned the truck. Now I have an 04 so I really didnt notice any changes but today when I got out in the country and tried to use my Criuse Control it would engage but then kick out until eventually it would engage at all anymore. Now I know I could restore my stock tune and try to see if it would work but has anyone else had any issues like this?

Well, after several days of working with Sil, I have all of my trans options; I'd like to send out a big thanks to Sil, Derek, and the rest of the SC team for helping me iron-out the details.

These new options have completely changed the way my truck performs. The PT adjustments are amazing, and the combinations are endless. With these options, and some experimentation, there is no reason for your truck to run at it's full potential. I really like how you have the ability to adjust the MPH setting, for a corresponding TP%, within each shift; basically, you can control how your truck shifts based upon how aggresively you use the throttle. Most of us, following this thread, already have a SC for our trucks' as a whole, these new options are like getting an entirely new SC tuner for your trans; that's how intricate these options will be for everyone's trucks.

The TM adjustment is what really changes the way the truck feels. Right now, I have my TM adjustment set at 20%, and my WOT TM is set at 25%. The truck shifts lightning fast; their is absolutely NO hesitation between shifts. The truck feels as though it keeps accelerating while it is shifting. The shift feel, and throttle response, is VERY similar to how cable-driven throttle vehicles feel.

So far, I haven't experienced any anomilies; other than what has been previously mentioned. You all will love these new options. Now, I look for excuses to drive!
