Glad to be of assistance. You and Jess (and the horses and "Dinner" and the rest of the brood running around on the farm) have a fantastic New Year as well. May God bless you and provide everything you need.

Take care.

How much does the Adaptive Shift Strategy's play into this?

What all does it change, just shift pressures?

The thing about the 4R100 vs. the E4OD is the addition of a turbine shaft speed sensor (input shaft speed) that allows the PCM to actually see the time (duration) for any shift. Yes, the PCM can increase or decrease the line pressure during a shift to accomodate the desired shift time. In the parameters, I think that the PCM is allowed a 20 PSI window + or - to compensate.

Then why change the TV pressures during shifts?
Go back to the IPR map vs. desired ICP way of thinking.

I gotcha.

I guess if you know what the computer is trying to accomplish and how it is doing it, tuning become a little more cut and dry.

I can't see any difference in datalogging. I have changed the heck out of them but maybe I'll see if I can't get ahold of Bill today and try to find out. I know that some of his stuff is a little different than others.

Just got off the phone with Bill and asked him about these.....

He wasn't sure either; mostly because he was super busy and didn't have the stuff right in front of him. Because there are a lot of things in the tuning that the PCM doesn't even care about or only cares about under certain conditions and without actually knowing what the PCM is "looking" at at any given time, it could be nearly impossible to know when certain functions are going to take place.

So after changing the 3-4 and 4-3 shift and not getting any results I decided to make the changes in the "Cruise" section and it worked.

Whats the deal with that?
