Love the chip
I've had the chip for a couple of months now and been able to use it in all conditions. Bottom line is I love the tuning.
The shifting strategy is so much better, I can actually feel five distinct shifts and they occur just where they would if I had a manual trans. At first the TC lockups were way too hard slamming into place but with time this has softened to a normal quick shift. Either my trans is about to explode or the trans has "learned" something. The trans behavior is actually more of a benefit than the extra power.
The extra power is second best. Running empty, I am able to just accelerate at will. No downshifting, spooling up, and noise just a kick in the butt when you add fuel. When loaded I don't notice the power increase as much but that's okay, I am loaded.
Smoke is only present when I do something stupid like try to accelerate suddenly. Normal driving is smokefree and that's good.
Fuel mileage empty has improved at least one mpg. I'm an engineer and keep records, I know mpg is better now but nothing earth shattering.
I use 80dd for daily commute, 100perf for long freeway trips, and 65 tow for heavy towing and hauling.
The whisper mode is not recommended, it's not quieter just a lower rpm idle. Oh well.
The high idle/no start combo works perfectly. This is an excellent choice for one of your slots. Makes me want to buy a winch.
I had some glitches with installation and inctructions which will remain a sore spot but the tuning is spot on. Good job guys.
