Default Current gear display not working

Does anyone know why the current gear function on my superchips is not working? It just reads a blank.

It has to do with the year of your truck. Any of the NC3 sensors should work, but the NC4 will only work in 06+ years I believe.

Sorry if this is posted somewhere. I have been searching and can't seem to find it. I now have an 04 2500 Hemi with a superchips flashpaq and I am wondering if I have the tow tune installed should I still use the tow/haul mode in the truck? Thanks Guys.

Yes, if you're towing over 1500lbs, tune to Tow and use Tow/Haul.

However, you can use the Tow tune without towing and therefore no need for Tow/Haul.

Hey guys.... New here.

just curious if anyone knows some good settings for shift schedule.

I've got a 2005 Ram Hemi. K&N CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, TBS, and cortex 3950.

I run my truck on performance 91 octane setting, and love the power, but I want to tweak my shifting a bit? Im updating it right now, but any help anyone can give me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Like I said, I just want it to shift faster and harder. It seems to be a little sloppy, which gives me a big lurch everytime i floor it.

Try this schedule: http://www.mcfail.net/superchips/5.7...Aggressive.xls

You can tweak from there.

With TM, you're basically changing how quick your transmission will complete a shift.

I've run 8% for over a year. 23 beta testers and no issues. If it works for you, 10% is good.

Folks,


I'm looking for some tweaked 2006 5.7 schedules to place on the server. Also looking for some 2007, 2008, etc., 4.7 schedules as well.

If you have a schedule in excel format, post it and I'll put it on the server.


Thanks,

Sil
