This is really frustrating at this point. I feel like I've wasted a lot of time on this.
When I visit Programmer Upgrades, I have the 4 options (Data Acquisiting, 2 TPMS Options & Tuner Unlock), but when I visit Vehicle 01 Upgrades, I get a blank screen/page. Someone needs to be able to figure this out. Doesn't work on W7 or XP.

I just downloaded the latest 93 tune with TM management, used the SuperChips setting for TM and shift schedule. The first thing you notice is this pig can get out of its own way off the line now and it also pulls harder/smoother through all RPM's. My best 1/4 with the canned 93 tune was16.14 at 84MPH here at 6900ft. That was roughly 13.9 seconds corrected to sea level. New results are 15.32 at 90MPH (6900ft) which corrects to 13.597 seconds @ 100.8MPH sea level. Now yes I realize these times are calculated on the programmer and my actual track times could be a tad worse or better But a relative gain of almost .8 seconds is there .......This programmer is worth every penny. Not sure how to correct my 0 to 60 times yet. I still have stock exhaust and intake but that will soon change

Well, I programmed in one of the example 'User' schedules, and... wow! Instant up/down shifts, and it will rev high enough at part throttle to get up the hills around here without downshifting. That was my biggest complaint with the Ram, had to keep my foot in it (or have Tow/Haul mode on) just to get out of it's own way -- not anymore!
Note though, the stock shift points from the example 'User' schedule don't match my 09 TRX4, presumably because of the taller rear end. Going to have to graph the stock values and make changes from there. Almost as good as having a manual...

I then started into the schedules. Was going to use the examples from the link provided, but they do not work. Yes, I grabbed the 09, but when I started setting them up the values on the worksheet were not possible on the tuner (the range was not big enough to use the values in the sheet).
When inputting a shift schedule, you may not have the max value in a particular TP% available. Don't worry. As you enter your values for the next shift points (2,3, etc.), you can go back to those previous shifts and your max value will have increased. Now you can input the value that previously could not be entered.
This is the shift logic safety feature kicking in and protecting you from stacking shifts.

Basically, enter all your shift points. Then you should be able to go back and see your max values have increased.
Definitely learn them because, this is the main part of this program and it transforms your daily driver. The shift schedules on the server are a definite advantage you have starting off.

You can set your up shifts where you want and make your downshifts react quickly.

Got mine in, i used windows XP ,and when I went to download ,the vehicle 1 had the option, of the trans tune, it had a transmission icon, after downloading put it in the truck, I just used the Super chips schedule ,did not get a chance to move the T/M % up, will do that otmmorow, not enough time last night, but it shifts great, it just keeps getiing better, i wanted to post about the tire thing earlier, but thought ,I would be the only one, the tuner defaults to 31.2 for the size tires the 20's are, when in reality they are 33 inches, so if you move that ,your times on the data aqusition will be a little different.

A couple of things folks, please read this post for some important information about the program:

Also, keep in mind MPH will be slightly off from vehicle, to vehicle. So what you see in the shift schedules on the server, just enter the numbers as close as you can in your tuner.
