Changing Shift Points ONLY
Hello, Im trying to find the cheapest way to change the shift points for my fathers truck, im very unfimiliar with dodge and american cars in general but I have done tuning with a laptop, piggyback computer. Is there anyway I can just change the shift points with an OBDII cable and some sortof laptop software? if not, what is the cheapest way to go about doing this? thanks for your help!

Not to sound like a smart a$$, but when I want to alter my shift points, I just use the tow haul mode. It is nice for around town so that the OD isn't always kicking in and out and in and out.....

Nope you dont sound like a smart a$$ because i have no idea what that is, is there a link on these forums to the "tow haul mod"? Or does anyone know if I can adjust the shift points more percisely
Edit: ok yeah, tow haul mode, like with an "e" not a modification, He does use that but he wants to change things a bit more

well , I ind know exactly what he wants to do and would love to be able to do that to my truck. this 48RE trans behind my Cummins winds 3rd gear up way too tight before going into 4th. everyone on the diesel forum said i need to buy a $425 valve body and then a $2000 converter.
I need to make afew more payments first though. Just 55 more to go:-(. DAVE

Im pretty sure most of the programmers offer that option of changer shift points....also you can buy a stall converter but thats not cheap and it might void the warranty. just look up programmers for the truck and they'll list what all they can do for the truck. what type of truck does your dad have? model & engine

The Hypertech programmer doesn't change the shift points, it just firms up the shifting a little bit. There is no option to reprogram at what RPM they are set to shift at. It's designed for dummies like me to just plug in, choose a few options like what octane you want and whether you want "firmer shifts" and that's it.
