I'm gonna throw a quick question in instead of starting a thread.

How much can you control as far as shifting? Would there be a way to keep your truck from downshifting too soon? In case that's not clear. Pretend you're cruising in OD, and you want to "roll into it" semi aggresively, could you keep it from kicking down a gear until you hit, say 85% throttle? A person can do A LOT with shift points. They're very limited by today's standards, but there is some flexibility. Yes, it's possible to have the PCM hold a gear longer before downshifting. I've never had the need or desire personally and it seems to me that most of the folks I've talked to around here HATE that the programming holds gears as long as it does anyway. By the time a downshift occurs, you're into the pedal big time and you get a near full-power downshift. You'd be amazed at how early most of my programs downshift. By the way, the "late" downshift you're talking about probably isn't due at all to changed shift functions, but because of the lack of accelerator input required to make the truck go. Shift functions are based off of accelerator pedal input and speed. When the same amount of power is being put to the ground at 10% APP with a specific program you're running that the stock program doesn't see until 75% APP, then the downshift will seem to occur later. Since by 75% APP with your tuning you are really putting some power to the ground (hopefully).

My tunes are pretty good at it, I'm just trying to figure out if that's an option.

Can you PM me where you saw that tune?

ONE MORE THING.

Could you check out my buddy RedSmokey's thread on PSN? About the trouble they're having with the injectors buzzing... You're good with that stuff aren't you? I don't make over-the-phone (or internet) diagnosis very often only because there is often a lack of communication and not all the details are there......I don't like spending other peoples' money or time if I'm not certain about something.
