Jdustu- man sorry to hear about the issues. I have to agree the shifting is more delayed than stock but the power never goes away like the stock tune. I'm really curious what I'll be able to do may 1st now.

 

sil, i pmed you

 

I changed my program from the SC recommended shift points to the lower 5950 1-2 AND 2-3 gear shift point. It made a huge difference, smoothed the transition right out without lag or surge. Just a clean, crisp shift that seamlessly put the power to the ground and pulled hard the whole way. May be something to try before returning it. Im finally content, as I was a step away from sending it back as well.

 

I have my rev limiter at 6,400 and shift point at 6,000 but the tach shows it shifting at 5,900 with about a good second between shifts. I'll try dropping it 50 rpms and see what happens

 

is there an option to turn traction control right off with the tuner?

 

Nope. Would be nice though

 

I have my shift points set at 6200 & 6100 and they feel quick and crisp. It pulls right up to the shift point and then shifts hard.

 

Hmmm wonder if I need mine recalibrated. I also have surging idle when I first start it up too. Anyone else have this?

 

Yeah, I have that same engine surging at cold start up as well M15. Sobo you are having better luck than I was with those shift points. I set mine at the same SC recommended 1-2 6200 and 2-3 6100 but my power transitions were off. The truck would pull hard to 6200 then the nose would drop then power came back on hard and the truck would thrust up. It was a very slight shift delay but enough to notice at that RPM. I dropped my shift points to 5950 for both and its smooth no lag power right through the shifts. Ive heard from guys with the 6200/6100 say that it works great, then I heard from another guy running the 5950 saying that worked best on his rig. There are slight variations between trucks it seems. But as long as you dial your truck to its perfect sweet spot it really doesnt matter, SC is still the way to go in my book! But with that surging idle issue, im at a loss. Im assuming its not bad for the engine, but it means something in the tune is slightly off for sure.

 

Left it in drive instead of 4th or 5th and it shifted quick. No lag at all. I'm going to have to try it again to confirm.
