Longshot was correct with this. However, I'd lower ALL the part throttle shift points: 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4. As I recall, you can reduce 1-2 by -2, 2-3 by -3 and 3-4 by -5. Do the same thing with the downshifts, so that the truck is not so quick to downshift when you give it just a little gas when cruising. This will not effect your WOT shifts at all, so when you want "performance", you'll still have it.

Now, I did the same thing with my part throttle Torque Converter part throttle unlock/lock points. There are eight of these, two for each gear. I lowered each of them by the "max".

As Longshot said, this will cause the programming session to take a bit of time, so give yourself that time, and, MAKE SURE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS HEALTHY and that everything is nice and warm.

I discuss these options a bit in the Q&A on custom options - please read through it before you start anything.
