It is awesome not having to wait on the power to slowly come on, just wondered if it was possible to tame it down a hair? I guess the 4-2 shift.

Maybe I need to rebuild rear axle.

Thanks

Now I can't wait for the custom tunes so I can put on the aftermarket intake.
I don't think the Shift Firmness settings in Custom Options are going to do anything for you here. I'm pretty sure they all deal with WOT upshifts, since they're labeled that way.

Bill can possibly try to "tame" this a bit in your custom tunes if you ask for it.

I've never noticed what you're talking about though, so maybe, there IS something going on in your axle. (Doesn't seem likely though).
