Pocket - I think your right. Now that I think about it, I started noticing the issues after I made changes to the A/D counts in the Mass fuel map?

How do you guys figure out your down shifts when setting it up that way? It just would be so nice to look at the chart and figure it out by RPM / vehicle speed and make it do what I want it to.

Do any of you have the issue with your torque converter locking at a different speed then what you tell it to?

There are several things controlling torque converter lockup that make it a bit difficult to pinpoint. There are time delays, load calculations, trans temps, and even RPMs that can delay or even prevent a lockup from occurring. Because of this, there is no clear-cut way to control converter lockup. We can usually finesse the values enough to achieve what we're looking for, but sometimes the ECM has a mind of its own.

I adjust both of them the same though.....
Yup, wasn't a knock on PHP, just something I fought with for a bit.

I too am now in the habit of making both the same, even for the 4-3 shifts.

Shaw- a emulator is the shiz!

I learned more with that damn thing in a week then I did in a entire year! If you can swing it, I would get your hands on one.

Cody - your post you made is missing about changing the N/V. Anyway's I found that when I changed it to 52 the shift and converter lockup went the wrong way (making the map further off) Tonight I will put a lower number in and see if it moves it towards what Im looking for. I think this might take care of things.

Bill - I seem to have the converter pretty much locking constantly when I want it to. It just doesn't match what the map mph says. the map says 30 but then it doesn't lock till 39mph actual. If I put 21mph in the map it will lock around 30. Not a big deal, just confuses me when I try to figure it in with all other shifting.
