If it's possible, I sure don't know how and haven't heard of anyone pulling it off. In the '03, the PCM & TCM are completely separate computers, in the '04s and up, they are integrated into the PCM.

You are aware that the TMR mode only removes torque management at WOT, right?

Good luck...

Yeah pretty much.
Can't play with shift points or lower/raise the idle on an 03.
Off topic slighlty, I wanted to put a 268 cam in my 03. Can't really do it as the RPMs can't be raised in the software program.

I've read that you can pull off the power steering sensor to force the idle up permanently which I believe is a jury rig of sorts to raise the idle....but that's not ideal is it.
So a 260 cam it has to be.....darn these 03's lol
